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 paper titled "Disadvantageous Semi-Collusion: Price Competition in the Norwegian Airline Industry" by Frode Steen and Lars Sørgard has been published in Journal of Competition Law & Economics.
Every time he walks into a lecture hall, Professor Alexander Wright Cappelen imagines a theatre stage. He is now being honored for his enthusiastic teaching.
The paper titled "Fairness in Winner-Takes-All Competitions" by Björn Bartling, Alexander W. Cappelen, Mathias Ekström, Erik Ø. Sørensen and Bertil Tungodden has been published in The Review of Economics and Statistics.
The MIT professor filled the auditorium when he gave the Sandmo Lecture on AI, work and expertise. Afterwards, he spoke with students.
