CV
Gisle J. Natvik is a Researcher in the Research Unit of Norges Bank. He obtained his Ph.D. at the University of Oslo in 2008. Gisle joined the research department in 2008.
Research interests
Natvik's research interests lie within macroeconomics, broadly defined, and monetary economics and political economy in particular. His research has focused on how government spending affects the economy, the interplay between fiscal and monetary policy, and how politicians' need for popular support affect their savings decisions.
Natvik's latest projects focus on the interplay between endogenous public policies and financial markets, the effects of publishing interest rate paths, macroeconomic consequences of uncertainty, and the role of credit rating agencies.
