Her dissertation is on Norwegian firms’ responses to government policies, such as environmental taxes, tradable and non-tradable emission quotas, technology standards or R&D subsidies. To investigate the drivers of green technologies, polluting emissions, etc., she uses micro econometric (statistical) methods.

Moreover, she is involved in research on individuals' attitudes towards climate instruments, climate adaptation at the local, regional and national level, as well as the use of climate budgets in Norwegian municipalities. She also has experience from a national analysis and intelligence center (NTAES), using micro level registry data from several agencies, as well as interviews with agency employees, interest groups and experts, to inform agency leaders.
