Current projects:

Creating attractive procurement processes - strategic tools for more tenderers. Funder: Swedish Competition Authority. Project period: 2024–2026. PI: Assistant professor Hanna Lindström.  Co-applicants: Sofia Lundberg (Professor, department of Economics, USBE) and Johan Lundberg (associate professor, department of Economics, USBE). Project description: While an overarching aim of public procurement is to safeguard and make use of competitive markets, there are also political goals for public procurement concerning, for example, the environment and climate, and the participation of small and medium-sized enterprises. This project studies how the design of the procurement process affects a potential supplier’s decision to submit a tender and the number of tenderers. An important contribution is that both actual and potential tenderers are included in the empirical analysis, which is based on a combination of survey data, procurement data and firm data.

Environmental economics and gender. Funder: Umeå Centre for Gender Studies (UCGS). Project period: 2024-2028. Project description: This doctoral student project aims to analyse economic behaviours within the fields of environment, climate and energy from a gender perspective. Furthermore, the projects sets out to analyse distributive effects of policies within these areas from a gender perspective, and whether they can be designed in a more cost-effective and equitable way. The project starts in September 2024, and supervisors for the PhD student are Senior Lecturer Göran Bostedt (department of Economics), Assistant Professor Hanna Lindström, and Professor Annika Nordlund (Department of Psychology, Umeå University)
