Research interests

Arne´s research interests lie in the areas of applied microeconometrics and health economics. He has a particular interest in stated preference methods and the econometric analysis of discrete choice data.

He also has an interest in statistical programming and has written several modules for the statistical software package Stata. He has been in involved in research projects funded by the UK Medical Research Council and the Research Council of Norway, among others.

Arne is interested in supervising PhD students in applied microeconometrics.
