As a professor at the Department of Economics, I head the research group Political Economy.

Broadly speaking, my research interests cover the following fields

• Development economics
• International economics
• Political economy

Of course, I'm happy to combine these topics. The bulk of my actual research has been on foreign aid and other financial flows to developing countries. I'd label myself an applied theorist. This implies that I'm interested in analysing how the world actually works given what we currently know, which hopefully contributes to a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying the empirical observations that constituted the starting point. However, I've also done empirical work on e.g. aid dispersion and in my main current project on assisted return programmes both theoretical and empirical methods are applied.

I now teach international macroeconomics (ECON230) at the bachelor level and development economics (ECON315) at the master level.

Outside the University of Bergen, I'm one of the editors of Samfunnsøkonomen, the journal of the Norwegian Economic Association. My editorials are

• Produktivt om produktivitet? Samfunnsøkonomen 1-2026.
• Politisert økonomi. Samfunnsøkonomen 4-2025.
• TNT (Trumps Nonsens om Toll). Samfunnsøkonomen 2-2025.

• KRISE. Samfunnsøkonomen 2-2020.
• Norsk bistand: reformert og revitalisert? Samfunnsøkonomen 6-2019.

I'm also a lecturer in the Erasmus Mundus Joint Master in Economics of Globalisation and European Integration, administered by the University of Bari, where I teach a module on development finance. I help organise the annual conference on the Economics of Global Interactions: New Perspectives on Trade, Factor Mobility, and Development, an event that is hosted by Bari.
