Welcome!

I am a senior researcher at Statistics Norway. My research combines economic theory with causal empirical methods and administrative data to study economic inequality, tax policy, and labor markets.

I am also affiliated with Norwegian Fiscal Studies at the University of Oslo, a visiting researcher at BI Norwegian Business School, and an affiliate of CESifo.
