About
I am professor at the School of Economics and Business, Norwegian University of Life Sciences and adjunct research professor at Consumption Research Norway – SIFO, Oslo Metropolitan University.
I hold a 20% position as a senior researcher at Consumption Research Norway – SIFO, Oslo Metropolitan University, and in addition, I am a professor of economics at the School of Economics and Business, Norwegian University of Life Sciences. My research covers a broad spectrum of topics, including consumer behavior, sustainable consumption, food markets, and green energy. I am particularly interested in studies of willingness to pay, social acceptance, and green transformation. My research is grounded in behavioral and experimental economics, primarily employing quantitative methods.
