My research
My recent research is at the intersection between Public and Labor Economics, with a focus on (i) the measurement of income and wealth inequality, and (ii) microeconometric questions related to active labor market policy and welfare interventions.
I have been (2020-2021) Visiting Professor at the Department of Economics and Statistics of the University of Siena, Italy. I have been (spring 2023) Distinguished Visiting Scholar at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York (CUNY).
I am a project participant of the RCN-funded project “Make Taxation Fair” (FRIPRO, NOK 11.8 million, 2021-2026).
Me as a teacher
I teach at the highly interdisciplinary department of Social Work at NTNU, giving lectures (in English and Norwegian) on Economics of the Welfare State, Social and Welfare Policy, and Quantitative Methods. I also teach Microeconomics and Macroeconomics (in Norwegian) as an adjunct Associate Professor at the University of South-Eastern Norway (USN).
