How are economic decisions made, and what are the consequences of these decisions? How should competing firms make pricing and investment decisions?
By addressing these questions the Department of Economics aims to understand major global challenges such as climate change, economic instability and growth, economic development and national and global welfare and inequality.
The Department is built around a number of internationally renowned research groups in a wide range of fields, providing high quality research and teaching in economics.
The faculty members constitute an enthusiastic group of women and men who deliver important contributions, both to the international research community, the government, and the public debate.
The Norwegian government wants to investigate nuclear power as a potential energy source in Norway. Linda Nøstbakken, Research Director at Statistics Norway and Adjunct Professor at NHH, joins the new expert committee.

The Department of Economics has this year launched a quarterly newsletter where readers can get updates on our new research, policy work, events and more.
