The Karl Borch Lecture Series was established in 2002 by the Department of Finance and Management Science, in honor of Karl Borch.
Borch was a professor at NHH between 1963 and 1986, and is considered one of the founders of economics of uncertainty.
The annual lecture is on a current research topic and given by distinguished scholars, whose research capture the pioneering spirit of Borch, but not necessarily his fields of research in a narrow sense.
