About
I work in the department of Data Science and Analytics at the BI Norwegian Business School. I am also the manager of the Simula@BI research center. I have a Master of Science in Economics from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), and a PhD in Economics from BI Norwegian Business School. I am a Distinguished CESifo Affiliate and also affiliated with the Centre for Applied Macroeconomics and Commodity Prices. Before my current roles, I held a position as a Senior Researcher at Norges Bank.
My work is at the intersection of economics and data science, where I use machine learning and natural language processing techniques to study the transmission of economic shocks, understand how agents form their expectations, and develop methods to measure unobserved concepts such as sentiment, uncertainty, and climate risk. My papers have been published in journals such as Journal of Econometrics, American Economic Journal: Macroeconomics, Journal of Monetary Economics, and International Economic Review.
See my CV for more details.
