Øystein Kravdal
I've been a professor of demography at the Department of Economics, University of Oslo, from 1994 to 2022. During those years, I've had part-time positions in the Cancer Registry, Statistics Norway, or the Norwegian Institute of Public Health. I now work full time at the Centre for Fertility and Health at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health. Most of my research has dealt with the relationships between education/income, fertility/family, and health/mortality. It has to a large extent been based on Norwegian register data, but I've also used survey data from India and Africa. Event history analysis have been my main statistical tool. Some of the papers have been about methodological issues related to event history or various types of fixed-effects analysis. I was a co-editor of Population Studies from 2004 to 2013.
