Hon. Prof. Dr. Marc Luy

I am Director of the Vienna Institute of Demography of the Austrian Academy of Sciences and Honorary Professor of Demography at the University of Vienna. My research is on trends and differentials in health and mortality. In particular, I want to better understand the causal mechanisms that enable some people to live longer and healthier than others. On these web pages you will find information about my curriculum vitae, a summary of my research interests, and compilations of my publications and presentations at conferences and workshops. More details about my research and actual university lectures can be found at the following websites:
