Research Director for the CICEP group and Director of CICEP Center for International Climate and Energy Policy
I have worked at CICERO since 2002. I was initially hired to program our first computable general equilibrium model, and started a PhD on the effectiveness and acceptability of environmental taxes two years later. After completing my PhD in 2008 I have managed research projects on environmental taxes, transport policy, behavioural interventions ("nudges"), and energy efficiency. I was Research Director of the Climate Policy unit in 2012 and 2013, and the Climate Economics Unit from 2014 to 2017. Since 2014 I have been Director of our FME-center CICEP Center for International Climate and Energy Policy, and much of my outreach and research has focused on the Paris Agreement.
My current research interests follow two main lines: The design of international climate agreements, with a particular focus on the role of short-lived climate pollutants, and the effectiveness and acceptability of climate policy instruments. Most of my research is based on use surveys, lab and field experiments.
Projects
- Centre for International Climate and Energy Policy (CICEP) CICEP is one of three centres for social science based research on environment-friendly energy established by the Research Council of Norway in 2011.
- Politically Feasible Renewable Energy Development: The Role of Public Acceptance. The over-arching task of this project is to study the political feasibility of the low carbon energy policy transition initiated by the EU. In order to adopt and implement efficient policies at the regional, national and local level, public acceptance for policy change will be crucial.
- The role of short-lived climate forcers in the global climate regime The primary objective of the project is to provide a comprehensive assessment of the potential of mitigation of Short-Lived Climate Forcers (SLCFs) in the emerging global climate regime.
- Klimavalg 2017
- Energy efficiency labels: how to make them useful for consumers? The CONSEED project will examine how important energy efficiency information is when consumers buy a new electric appliance, a car or a house.
- Enabling the European Union This project seeks to enable people of the European Union to go even greener - in transportation, heating and cooling, and electricity choices - by understanding the drivers of our energy choices.
