Research at BI Norwegian Business School in response to Covid-19

COVID-19 represents an enormous challenge for the social sciences to help governments and non-governmental organizations respond to the economic and societal consequences of the epidemic.

On this page we have brought together some of the resources at BI Norwegian Business School that can guide and support those policy responses. We draw across the full range of social sciences at BI —among them economics, finance, business, management, government, and law.

The page contains links to both English and Norwegian resources.
