About me

Since 2003, I am a Full Professor at the Department of Economics and Business Economics, Aarhus BSS, Aarhus University. From 2022 to 2024 I was Associate Dean for International Accreditations at Aarhus BSS, from 2011 to 2021 I was Vice-Dean for Research and Talent and Head of Graduate School at Aarhus BSS, and from 2006 to 2011 I was Head of the (then) School of Economics and Management.

I received my PhD from CORE, Université Catholique de Louvain, Belgium, 1991, and hold an MA (Econ) from Warwick University, UK, 1986. I have studied at Aarhus University (1981-85), Warwick University (1985-86), CORE (1987-89), and UCLA (1989-90).

My primary research and teaching interests are in Economics of Information, Contract Theory, Auction Theory, Game Theory, Industrial Organization, Business Strategy, Antitrust and Business Regulation. Recent work includes analyses of pre-auction offers and buy-out offers in auctions, equilibria in multi-sender signalling games and the role of market transparency in repeated oligopoly.

I have been a member of the Danish Social Science Research Council (DFF-FSE) (2006 - 2010), and I am presently a member of the Danish Rail Regulatory Authority (Jernbanenævnet) (since 2010), the Danish Sideline Employment Board (Bibeskæftigelsesnævnet) (since 2020) and the CEPOS Centre Council (since 2007). Finally, I serve on the Advisory Board of the Faculty of Economics and Business, University of Groningen, NL (since 2019).
