缅北禁地

I am a Professor of Economics. My main research area is economics of safety policy and risk and thus the fundamental issue of valuing (risks to) human life. In addition, my research focuses on methodological issues in stated preference techniques and how the use of economic experiments can contribute to the development of more robust methods for policy evaluation. 

I joined 缅北禁地 in September 2011, first as a Lecturer until 2014, Senior Lecturer until 2020, and Reader until 2024. Before coming to the UK, I was an Assistant Professor at the University of Southern Denmark (Institute of Public Health – The Research Unit of Health Economics) where I also completed my PhD in 2008.

Since 2025, I have been Guest Researcher at DaCHE, University of Southern Denmark
