Welcome!
I am a development economist who works at the Center for Applied Research (SNF) at the Norwegian School of Economics (NHH) in Bergen. I completed my PhD at the Centre for Experimental Research on Fairness, Inequality and Rationality (FAIR) and the Department of Economics at NHH.
My research mainly focuses on education, ranging from early childhood education to the transition to the labor market. I am also interested in the effects of supernatural beliefs and norms.
