I am a professor of economics at the Norwegian Business School (BI) where I teach econometrics and causal inference.

As a researcher, I am particularly interested in how electoral institutions shape political outcomes, and how political representation impacts policy. I currently work on questions such as: How do parties motivate candidates to exert effort during campaigns? What determines the career progression of an individual politician? To what extent can party leaderships force rank-and-file members to toe the party line?
