I am Associate professor in the Department of Economics at the University of Copenhagen where I am Co-director of the Environmental Economics Group. My research and teaching interests are primarily within resource and environmental economics. I am also interested in welfare economics as well as decision and game theory. 

I became a Distinguished affiliate member of the CESifo Research Network after receiving the Distinguished CESifo Affiliate Award. For my research, I have also received the European Award for Researchers in Environmental Economics under the Age of Forty and a national Frontiers Planet Prize. 

I hold a PhD in economics from the University of Oslo and was previously Research fellow at Heidelberg University. For my PhD dissertation, I received H.M. The King’s Gold Medal and the Best Dissertation Award from the European Association of Environmental and Resource Economists. 

I have published in the American Economic Journal: Economic Policy, Science, the Journal of Environmental Economics and Management, the Journal of the Association of Environmental and Resource Economists, Nature Climate Change, and Energy Economics, presented at the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings and visited the London School of Economics, Northwestern University, the University of California, Berkeley, and the Toulouse School of Economics. My research has influenced public guidance in Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, New York State, New Zealand, Norway, the UK and the US, targets in Denmark, and is also referred to in public documents by the European Union, Denmark, the Dasgupta Review, the FAO, the IPCC, the IPBES, the OECD, the Office for National Statistics, Ontario, Sweden, the UK, the UNDP, the UNFCCC and the World Bank.
