I’m a senior lecturer
of statistics in TSE since 2002. I published my doctoral dissertation in 2003
on business risks of small and medium-sized enterprises. In my Master’s thesis
(Statistics, 2009) I described different interpretations of risk concept in
different fields of science.

My work consists
mainly of statistical consulting and analysis as a member of research groups.
The focus has been mainly on studies of accounting and finance, economic
geography and logistics. In addition, statistical analysis of medical and
nursing sciences have given me new perspectives to approaches of statistical
analysis in economics and business administration.

I’m a member of
research project group KATE which produces publications of shopping destination
behavior. The project or its predecessors have been on since 1990.

Also, for example the
following studies are under work:

“Analysis of the House
Price-Income Relationship” with Elias Oikarinen et al. A spatial equilibrium
model of the relationship between house prices and personal income is
estimated. Using data for the 50 largest U.S. Metropolitan Statistical Areas
(MSAs) modern panel analysis tools are applied.

“From Humboldtian to
Hybrid Logic: The Effects of Performance Management on Institutional Logics in
Academia” with Kallio K-M & Kallio, T. et al.

My teaching includes statistical
bachelor’s and master’s degree courses in TSE. Courses focus for example on
survey analysis, quality analysis and statistical software (SAS and R). Courses
are given in Finnish or English and some can be included into bachelor's and master's degrees of Information science and supply chain management in TSE.
