Christian Heyerdahl-Larsen

Christian Heyerdahl-Larsen is a Professor in the Department of Finance at BI Norwegian Business School, where he conducts research at the intersection of financial economics and economic theory.

His educational background includes a PhD from BI Norwegian Business School (2009), establishing his foundation in advanced economic modeling.

Heyerdahl-Larsen's research focuses on how heterogeneous beliefs and learning processes impact financial markets. He investigates efficiency measures in disagreement economies, portfolio choice dynamics with experience-based learning, and the relationship between inflation disagreement and yield curve behavior. His methodological approach combines rigorous theoretical modeling with equilibrium analysis, often revealing counterintuitive market behaviors such as trend-chasing among young investors and belief-driven yield curve distortions.

His publication record from 2015-2023 shows consistent contributions to top finance and economics journals. The research trajectory demonstrates increasing sophistication in modeling belief heterogeneity, evolving from foundational work on market completeness (2015) to nuanced analyses of social choice under disagreement (2023). A unifying theme is the examination of how subjective belief formation affects aggregate market outcomes and efficiency.
