Consultancy and Project Funding
The Environmental Economics Unit I have started in Gothenburg has been the largest
recipient of external funding in the University of Gothenburg according to surveys by GU.
Our largest institutional collaboration between the Unit for Environmental Economics and
Sida. Our goal is to create a national/regional environmental economic capacity in developing
countries. The aim for the environmental economists trained at EEU, is to work on solving
and finding effective solutions to the environmental problems that exist in their respective
country. In order for this capacity to be successful, the knowledge has to be spread out to as
many influential institutions as possible in order to influence the decision makers. We focus
on academic institutions that have the ability to teach future researchers, civil servants and
teachers as well as political advisors. With finance from the Swedish International
Development Cooperation Agency, Sida, EEU has chosen to have people from developing
countries as their main target group. We have a PhD program for students from developing
countries; we give courses in environmental economics and we have a visiting researcher's
program.
In addition to this I am, and have been, involved with a large number of other projects.
Among the most important just now are FORMAS and MISTRA – Clipore programs on
climate change. In addition to this I have had many consultancy tasks for various
organizations and companies including Göteborg Energi, Volvo, Swedepower, Nynäs, the
OECD, the World Bank and several Swedish ministries including the Ministries for finances,
environment and agriculture and the Research Council of Norway. I have led a large
forecasting and modelling consultancy for Swedepower in which we built forecasting models
for electricity demand in Mexico for the Comisión Federal de Electricidad. Since 1991, we
have a large-scale and long-run collaboration with SIDA involving a large group of
researchers at our department in various consulting activities for SIDA. The Environmental
Economics Unit has also been successful in attracting considerable research funds from
various research boards such as AFR, BFR, DFE, FORMAS, Efn, FRN, KFB, SAREC, SNV,
the municipality of Göteborg, the EU, MISTRA and others.

and other organizations (2-5 days) in Washington, Bangkok, Zaragoza, Oaxaca, Turialba and La
Habana, see C78, C89, C97, C147 and C151
During the years I have held various posts at the Department of Economics I have taught a variety
of first year courses. I have also taught, either in Gothenburg or in other universities, various
advanced courses in micro, development economics, transport economics, energy economics and
currently I participate in teaching environmental economics both at the undergraduate and
graduate level. In addition to the courses on natural resource economics and policy instruments,
for which I have the main responsibility, I also participate in various other courses inside and
outside the department. My main teaching task is the supervision of a large number of PhD
students.
PhD Supervision
Currently there are more than a dozen PhD students in environmental economics that are
supervised by me and other supervisors at the EEU. The following is a list of over 30 PhD
students I have supervised in the past, either as their main supervisor or as a co-supervisor.
Below that is a group supervised within my research group but not by me. In total they are more
than 50 theses since 1988. 16 of them were Swedes.
