Kjetil Kåre Haugen is a Professor in logistics and sport management at Molde University College, Faculty of Business Administration and Social Sciences. His research spans game theory, economic theory, and algorithmic development with applications in sports—particularly football—focusing on doping, gambling, corruption, and uncertainty of outcome. He is an active member of the Sport Management Research Group (SpM). Research Interests: Haugen’s work integrates economic modeling and game theory to analyze sports phenomena such as doping behavior, tournament design, referee decisions (e.g., VAR), and fan engagement. He also explores philosophical and satirical dimensions of economics and academia, often publishing critiques of higher education systems and performance metrics. The recent articles (2020–2025) demonstrate a strong trend in applying mathematical and game-theoretic models to real-world sports issues, especially in football. Topics include cheating detection in chess, doping incentives, penalty kick dynamics, and the economic implications of tournament structures. His interdisciplinary approach bridges economics, computer science, and sports science, with a recurring emphasis on fairness, integrity, and strategic behavior. Scientific Contributions: Extensive publication record in journals like Mathematics for Applications , Scientometrics , and Sports Economics Review . Author of books on event logistics and game theory in soccer. Regular contributor to public discourse via Panorama , Subjekt.no , and The Guardian . Advising and Public Engagement: While no formal students are listed, Haugen frequently collaborates with researchers such as Knut Peder Heen, Harry Arne Solberg, and Alex Krumer. He actively engages in academic and public debates on sports policy, higher education reform, and ethical issues in research. His work has not been linked to specific grants in the provided text, but his consistent output suggests ongoing research activity. Laboratories and Teams: He is affiliated with the Sport Management Research Group (SpM) at Molde University College, which serves as his primary research team for interdisciplinary projects in sports economics and management.
