Postdoctoral Fellow at Harvard Business School
I am a Postdoctoral Fellow at Harvard Business School, where I am part of the Climate and Sustainability Impact Lab within the AI Institute. I am currently on leave from my position as a Research Economist in the Research Department at Norges Bank.
I received my PhD in Economics from BI Norwegian Business School in April 2026.
My research interests are in applied macroeconomics, climate finance, insurance markets, and labor economics. Much of my work uses micro data to study how natural disasters and transition risk affect individuals and insurance arrangements.
I am interested in the policy implications of research and in how evidence-based analysis can contribute to economic resilience. I also care deeply about communicating research in an accessible and engaging way.
