Climate policy design and international climate negotiations are two of my interests. Recent papers are “Emissions trading: Merely an efficiency neutral redistribution from climate change victims?” (Scandinavian J. of Economics) and “On the efficiency gains of emissions trading when climate deals are non-cooperative” (with Odd Godal). See also Welfare-implications of emissions trading when endowments are endogenous, with Dag Einar Sommervoll, as well as Renegotiation-proof climate agreements with full participation - conditions for Pareto-efficiency, with Geir B. Asheim.
More recently I have done some works on biofuels, see “Harvesting in boreal forests and the biofuel carbon debt” (forthcoming in Climatic Change).
