CBE is a collaboration across departments. The overall aim of the group is to produce excellent research and teaching on markets and firms. Researchers at CBE have a strong interest in highly relevant, top quality research and have published in top academic journals, including the American Economic Review, the Economic Journal, Rand Journal of Economics, the Review of Economics and Statistics and the Quarterly Journal of Economics. Researchers are also active in international networks such as CEPR and CESIfo.

CBE researchers at NHH have also been active in policy formulation through committees appointed by the government, and the public debate in general. In recent year, they have been involved in discussions related to the airline market, food market, media markets, telecom, public procurement and many other topics. One example of this is through the externally funded FOOD research program where several of our researchers work on the grocery industry.
