Our research covers several areas.

We consider long run problems of economic growth, fiscal and monetary policies, social security, and inequality. In this line of research, we build macroeconomic models closely connected to the micro-data of households and firms. We examine various short-run issues, such as theoretical studies of monetary policy in a new Keynesian framework, econometric studies of financial market behaviour and business cycles, and modelling and testing private agents' expectations. We investigate very long run developments in quantitative economic history, particularly international business cycles and financial markets. We undertake empirical research at the intersections of labour economics and macroeconomics with a focus on wage mobility, inequality, family policies and gender differences. Finally, we study issues related to natural resources, which are of great importance for the Norwegian economy.

We teach macroeconomic courses at the bachelor, master, and PhD level. Our courses cover topics such as fiscal policy, monetary policy, labour markets, financial crisis, international trade, and exchange rates with a focus on sustainable value creation and equality related to current and historic issues in the Norwegian and international economies.
