"My research is concerned with understanding the effects of economic globalisation and how the right institutional framework can be created so that all economic actors can benefit from it. I am particularly interested in the effects of foreign trade on the labour market, the environment, productivity growth and the innovative activity of companies. I am also interested in how regulation works in an internationalised context and how rules can be optimally designed in order to achieve the goal of regulation (such as the reduction of C02 emissions) on the one hand, and to keep the costs for consumers and companies as low as possible on the other." (Harald Fadinger)
