I am an Assistant Professor of Finance at Copenhagen Business School, a research fellow at the Danish Finance Institute, a research affiliate at CEPR, and a CEPR Household Finance Network Member. I received my Ph.D. from the Stockholm School of Economics in 2014 and was a visiting student at UC Berkeley 2012-2014.

My main areas of research are household finance, behavioral finance, consumer credit, sustainable finance, and labor and finance.

​My research projects often involve collaboration with private firms, e.g., to obtain experimental evidence that can be merged with observational data. A unifying theme in my research is the application of detailed individual-level panel data to answer important questions regarding the financial lives of individuals and households and how their decisions can affect individual's and society's welfare. 

I am also a member of the Icelandic fiscal policy council, and I previously worked for a Parliamentary Special Investigation Commission looking into the causes and events leading up to the fall of the Icelandic banking sector in 2008. Prior to that I worked in the banking sector and for the Central Bank of Iceland.

I also take on consultancy projects within economics and finance, for both public and private enterprises, where I leverage academic rigor and practical experience to real-world challenges.
