Short bio:
I am a Professor of Economics at Lund University and a Visiting Scholar at Hanken School of Economics / Helsinki Graduate School of Economics. I received my Ph.D. from Lund University, and after that, I worked at the University of Copenhagen before returning to Lund . My research focuses primarily on how people behave in economic, financial and health contexts. I serve as an editor of the Scandinavian Journal of Economics. I am also a member of the RISLab team, a research fellow at the Vienna Center for Experimental Economics and a fellow at the Center for the Study of Economy and Society at Cornell University.
