Summary
2015 -16 I have been elected to a guest professorship at the Collège de France. 2011-2014 was
spent in part on the AR5 of the IPCC where I was CLA of chapter 15 on policy instruments.
2012-2013 I was on sabbatical leave from Gothenburg and worked as Chief Economist at the
Environmental Defense Fund in New York. My main areas of work are instrument design for
climate and environmental policy, catch shares in fisheries and theory of discounting.
As professor of environmental economics in Gothenburg I have during the last 2 decades built up
the Unit for Environmental Economics with a staff of about a dozen PhDs and another dozen
graduate students. We give a unique PhD program in environmental economics with a large
participation of graduate students from developing countries (financed by the Swedish
International Development Cooperation Agency, Sida), masters and undergraduate programs and
a large number of other research and teaching activities.
I have published about 100 articles in refereed journals, authored or edited more than a dozen
books and a large number of book chapters, official reports and journalistic articles. The main
focus of my work has been on environmental policy instruments with applications to energy and
climate, industry, transport economics and finally resource management in developing countries.
Many of these areas benefit from interdisciplinary collaboration with natural scientists, engineers,
medical or other experts which I find to be a challenging and exciting part of professional life. For

I teach courses in natural resource economics and environmental policy at the graduate and
undergraduate levels. I have been the advisor for about two dozen PhD theses and I do quite a lot
of external lecturing and consulting.
