Biography

Present position

Senior lecturer

Research Interests

My main research interest is the development and regulation of markets during evolvement and change. In my dissertation the evolving market for financing small houses was analysed concerning the risk associated with marginal borrowers. In particular focus was on the institutional and organizational developments to secure these risks. I have also discussed the role of the standardization of the Swedish construction sector after the Second World War from a transaction cost perspective.


Teaching experiences

I have taught on all levels of economic history. I am responsible for the introductory course in Business and administration.
