Please find my CV here.
I am an Associate Professor at the Department of Economics at the University of Gothenburg. My research interests are in environmental and behavioral economics, applied econometrics and public economics.
One major project of mine (with Magnus Söderberg) presents results from two field experiments on household waste and recycling behavior, where we successfully apply norm-based feedback nudges similar to the well-known Home Energy Reports in the waste domain. I've also done research on within-individual spillovers across prosocial activities in response to policy meant to encourage one particular such activity. Another project relates to power calculations for experiments with panel data. See the research section for details.
I have also developed a role-play exercise for use in undergraduate teaching on environmental economics - see the teaching section!
