Very honoured to have received the University of Oslo’s Award for Young Researchers 2025!

3 weeks ago I defended my PhD and it still feels a bit unreal! I am immensely grateful to Carl Dahlström and Johannes Lindvall, the best supervisor-team one could wish for. Thank you also to @sirianned.bsky.social for being such a sharp discussant. Below the first page of my acknowledgments.

Extremely honored (and childishly excited!) to get to take part in 3 days of Nobel festivities in Stockholm, to celebrate the three 2024 Nobel prize winners in economics, including the extraordinary @DAcemogluMIT. From Day 1: Nobel Lectures in Econ, followed by the Nobel Concert.
