I am a Professor of Economics at Umeå School of Business, Economics, and Statistics (USBE). My academic career focuses on research on consumer behavior and procurement auctions applied to different settings and data. My previous work includes retailer choice and loyalty schemes, household demand for food (price elasticities and distributional issues) and supplier selection in purchasing and more specifically public procurement.
