I am a PhD-student in Economics at NMBU School of Economics and Business and SKATTEFORSK - Centre for Tax Research.

The subject of my research project is taxation and regulation of consumption with externalities. Cross-border shopping, duty-free and unrecorded consumption of alcohol and tobacco are important themes for my research. I am supervised by Professor Kyrre Rickertsen and co-supervised by Professor Atle Guttormsen and Professor Frode Alfnes.

In my first paper, I am using the empirically based macro model “KONSUM-G” to simulate reforms in the duty-free arrangement on alcohol and tobacco in Norway. The paper is joint work with Odd Erik Nygård in the research department at Statistics Norway.

In my second paper, I am using data from Vinmonopolet and the covid-19 pandemic as a natural experiment to estimate the magnitude of cross-border shopping of wine and spirits in Norway.
