BIOGRAPHY
Jan Tore Klovland joined the Norwegian School of Economics in 1975 after taking the siviløkonom HAE degree, being first employed as a research scholar, then as an assistant professor in 1979 and as a full professor in 1985.
His main teaching areas have been within the field of macroeconomics, in particular money and banking, international financial markets and business cycle analysis. Jan Tore Klovland’s research has mainly focused on topics within the quantitative monetary history of Norway and Britain, including monetary policy, price history, interest rates, ocean freight rates and business cycle chronologies.
Since 2002 he has held a part-time position at Norges Bank as a senior analyst, where he has contributed to constructing a historical database of macroeconomic time series spanning more than 200 years. This work provided the basis for Norges Bank’s Bicentenary Project (1816-2016), where the main task is to write a comprehensive monetary history of Norway (in cooperation with Øyvind Eitrheim and Lars Fredrik Øksendal) to be published in 2016.
