Zoutman will be researching redistributive policies, and teaching taxation and policy analysis.

Evelina Gavrilova

- NHH provides good opportunities, and has a good reputation. In addition, I enjoy the weather of Bergen, and the fact that my husband works here as well, she smiles when asked why she chose NHH.

Gavrilova will be researching and teaching the economics of crime and payroll taxation.

Steffen Juranek

The 32-year-old Juranek is German, and holds a PhD from the University of Frankfurt. He comes straight from his PhD work.

Juranek will be researching law and economics, as well as industrial organization. In addition, he will teach a course in management control.
