Research
Practically all my research is focused on the design of policy instruments. Within this broad
area, I focus on a number of applications:
1. Resource Management in Developing Countries.
This is the main area of work for most of my students and many colleagues and has led for
instance to work on the management of game parks and fishing in Lake Victoria. This work is
mainly funded by Sida.
2. Economics of Energy Use and Climate Change (Policies and Discounting)
I have earlier done a considerable amount of work on the elasticities of fuel demand. More
recently I have looked at the efficiency of various other policy instruments in the area of transport,
industry and energy. Some of this work has been done together with Christian Azar and
colleagues at the dept of Physical Resource Theory. Currently I am doing work on linking of
permit schemes and on various aspects of discounting.
This work is financed by FORMAS and MISTRA (the INDIGO programs).
3. Economics of Fisheries & Coastal Zone Management
Within a number of different ecological and geographic contexts, I have worked on the design of
different policy instruments to deal with problems related to overfishing, design of catch shares
and the importance of genetic diversity among cod.
4. Comparative Efficiency of Economic Policy Instruments in various Sectors
This research focuses on empirical comparisons of the efficiency of policy instruments used in
various sectors or countries. Examples include refunded emission payments for the reduction of
NOx from industrial combustion.
