Welcome to Eric Nævdal's home page.

For whatever reason, you have opened the file index.htm in my internet directory here at the University of Oslo. I am Eric Nævdal, a post-doctor at the Dept. of Economics, University of Oslo. Here I work with issues related to health economics. I am also associated with the Centre for Ecological and Evolutionary Synthesis.  I can be reached by electronic mail. My particular interest in health economics is the control of epidemics. Earlier in my career I have worked on a large range of issues. Here are a few highlights:

• The economics of binge drinking.
• Behaviour in animals.
• Threshold effects in dynamic resource management.

Some working papers and other work related stuff (e.g. computer code) is available here.

For reasons that I have never completely grasped, pages like these often contain a CV.

But life isn't all work. I also have a great family. My beautiful wife Grethe and wonderful children William and Alexander fill my life with joy and wonder. As we are too cheap to pay for a separate web-page for William, I have started letting him put his artwork here. And here is Alexander singing a song.

I have the best job in the world. One of the reasons why I think so is that nobody cares if I occasionally take time to do stuff like this. I am a big fan of Concerned by Christopher C. Livingston. Here is my feeble attempt at fan art.
