Professor Kjaer is based at Aarhus University, Denmark in the Department of Political Science. She served as Principal Investigator on the research project implemented from 2015 to 2022 by Aarhus University in partnership with SoL, and Research for Poverty Alleviation (REPOA). The research project financed by DANIDA facilitated Oscar Kamusiime, a doctoral student at SoL to complete his Doctor of Laws (LLD) studies. Kamusiime is slated to defend his thesis later this year (2023).

The research programme explored the micro-foundations of revenue bargaining. It studied the returns that materialise from revenue bargains and how revenue providers, actual or potential, affect government policy. Through a series of studies of instances of revenue bargaining, the project sought to add to the theoretical and empirical knowledge about revenue bargaining processes in low-income countries with a particular focus on the returns: the decisions or non-decisions of powerholders.
