I am a Professor of Economics at BI Norwegian Business School. I hold a Ph.D in Economics from the London School of Economics, where I also was employed as Lecturer. In the academic year 2004-2005 I was visiting professor at Northwestern University. From 2011-2016 I was non-voting member of the board of Norges Bank, which is also the board of the Government pension fund (NBIM).
