I am a professor of economics at the Norwegian Business School (BI), also affiliated with ESOP at the University of Oslo. I received my Ph.D. from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in 2006.

I currently work on projects quantifying how electoral institutions shape political outcomes, and how political representation impacts public policies.

My most recent working paper (with Daniel M. Smith) explore the relationship between the incumbency advantage and the formation of political dynasties in the party-centered, closed-list proportional representation context of Norway.
