Biography

I am a Professor of Economics at BI Norwegian Business School. My main research interests are competition, regulation and innovation in pharmaceutical markets and health care, and public services in general. I have published my research in The Economic Journal, European Economic Review, Journal of Economics and Management Strategy, Journal of Health Economics and other journals.

I had the privilege to serve as provost for 8 years (2010-2018), overseeing program quality and development, accreditation, and international cooperation. I have been member of the AACSB Continuous Improvement (Re-accreditation) Review Committee, member and Chair of the AACSB European Advisory Council EMEA, and was member of the International Advisory Board of LUISS Business school in Rome for 8 years.

I serve on the Board of Directors of Nye Veier. Nye Veier is a state-owned company, given the responsibility of planning, building, and maintaining major road infrastructure in Norway.

I am partner and Chairman of the Board at Vista Analyse, a social science consultancy in Oslo.
