As part of my PhD project at NMBU’s School of Economics and Business I am doing research on implementational and distributional challenges associated with carbon pricing. These challenges are connected to structural change, trade-embedded emissions, sectoral employment and household expenditures.
I have a Master of Science in Ecological Economics from the University of Edinburgh, with a particular focus on analysing environmentally extended multi-regional input-output matrices over time. Before joining NMBU I was programming geospatial models to downscale socio-economic scenarios within a climate research consortium in the UK. I have also published research on food system resilience, working at the interplay of social-ecological systems and economics.
