Research interests

Øyvind Eitrheim is director of the research department.

Eitrheim has been with Norges Bank since January 1984. He has his PhD in Economics from the University of Oslo in 1996. Eitrheim's research interests lie in the fields of time series econometrics and macroeconometric modelling. His current research focuses on (i) robust monetary policy, (ii) forecasting under model and data uncertainty, (iii) historical monetary statistics, and (iv) potential conflicts between price stability and financial stability.
