Each year, the Centre for Advanced Study at The Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters in Oslo hosts three leading research groups from three different disciplines. As project leader for one of the projects in 2026/2027, Professor Hilde C. Bjørnland will spend a full academic year dedicated to research together with selected top researchers from across the world.
Hilde C. Bjørnland is Professor at the Department of Economics at BI and heads the Reseach Centre for Applied Macroeconomics and Commodity Prices (CAMP).
“A year at CAS will provide the time and environment to develop new theoretical models and apply advanced econometric methods to rich micro data. By combining theory with frontier empirical techniques, especially for identifying structural shocks and distributional effects, the project aims to deliver research with lasting academic and policy impact”, she says to CAS.
This is the third time a researcher from BI has been hosted at CAS. The grants are very competitive, making the centre a leading international hub for excellent, curiosity-driven research.
