Monday, 20 December 2021 - Leif sadly passed away today.
Leif Helland passed away on Monday. It was very sad to receive the news. He had been terminally ill for a while, and he died peacefully with his family by his side. He was a great researcher and a great colleague and friend. He built up the research environment around experimental economics at BI. Leif will be sorely missed.
