Andrea Mannberg  –  Professor

Andrea Mannberg is a professor in economics at the School of Business and Economics at UiT the Arctic University of Norway. Mannberg is principal investigator of the 4 year research project – The risks we take and the life we make – effects of positional preferences and bounded rationality on risk-taking behavior – funded by the Norwegian Research Council. The project is cross-disciplinary collaboration with researchers at CARE, e.g., Audun Hetland, Markus Landrø and Rune Engeset, and with international partners: Professor Jordy Hendrikx and Professor Jerry D. Johnson at Snow and Avalanche Lab, Montana State University, and professor Tomas Sjögren at School of Business and Economics, Umeå University. The project has three work packages (WP:s). WP 1 focuses on how social identification and the desire to gain social status is related to willingness to take risks, and WP 2 focuses on how incidental emotions affect the ability to evaluate risk and the tendency to engage in risk-taking behavior. The final work package, WP 3, aims to evaluate how trends in avalanche hazard affects perceived danger and behavior in avalanche terrain.
