About the research group

The research group emphasizes the importance of competence. The most important factors in productivity growth are investment in education, economic literacy, research, innovation and digitalisation, which can be influenced both directly and indirectly by economic and environmental policies.

The research group's projects have a strong societal impact. Project leaders will take part in current discussions related to, among other things, innovation policy and the development of economics education.

The research group focuses particularly on the following themes:

  • Competence: innovation and intangible capital in companies and the economy
  • Financial literacy and financial education
  • Firm-level energy and environmental economics issues
  • Banking and macroeconomic stability
  • Connections and interactions between financial markets and the real world
