The FAIR Insight Team (FIT) works with applied research on work, education, savings and economic development and with partners in both the public and private sector. The overarching theme is related to economic inequality: what are the sources of inequality, to what extent is inequality perceived as unfair, and what can we do to reduce unfair inequality in society? We use an experimental approach to understand behavior and to evaluate measures to change behavior, in the form of randomized field experiments, lab experiments, and studies of policy changes. The research group consists of behavioral economists and labor market economists, and works closely with FAIR, NHH's centre of excellence.
