I am an associate professor at the Norwegian Business School (BI). I hold a Ph.D. in economics (Norwegian University of Science and Technology, 2006) for a thesis on fiscal competition and welfare policy.

My recent research focuses on microeconometrics applied to various aspects in political economics, labor economics and health economics.

Currently I am working on a project (with Olle Folke) where we propose a research design for quantifying the effects of electoral reform. In another project I investigate how paternity leave affects the long run outcomes of parents and the children (jointly with Sara Cools and Lars Kirkebøen).
