I am an Associate Professor at the Oslo Business School, specializing in climate economics and decision making under uncertainty. I hold a PhD in Economics from the University of Oslo. Before joining Oslo Metropolitan University, I was an Assistant Professor at the School of Economics and Business at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences, a Ciriacy-Wantrup Postdoctoral Fellow at the College of Natural Resources at the University of California, Berkeley, a PhD Researcher at the Frisch Centre (Oslo) and Statistics Norway, and a Junior Researcher at the Institute of Transport Economics (Oslo).
My research examines how economic and geophysical uncertainties shape optimal climate policy. I work at the intersection of decision theory and integrated assessment modeling, investigating how uncertainty premia emerge and evolve. My work explores how preference specifications, damage representations, and learning dynamics interact, influencing policy recommendations. By dissecting the mechanisms behind key modeling choices, I aim to clarify why some uncertainties drive strong policy responses while others do not—contributing to both scientific and policy debates.
In previous work, I have also studied the Green Paradox and its implications for climate policy.
