I am a PhD candidate at NMBU’s School of Economics and Business, working on the distributional and implementational challenges associated with environmental taxes. Research questions include how to redistribute carbon tax revenues to avoid adverse socio-economic impacts such as unproportional pressures on households with low incomes. I am also interested in how responsiveness to carbon pricing varies across time, sectors, regions, and income groups.
I have a Master of Science in Ecological Economics from the University of Edinburgh and have been working on geospatial models to quantify socio-economic scenarios for climate research in the UK before joining NMBU. I am an industrial ecology enthusiast and like to use global accounting matrices to analyse changes in global material resource flows, with a specific focus on their socio-economic significance.
