A directional shadow elasticity of substitution
(Discussion Papers;No. 7, Working paper, 1985-04-10) -
A discrete choice model for labor supply and child care
(Discussion Papers;No. 315, Working paper, 2002)Abstract: A discrete choice model for labor supply and child care for mothers of preschoolers is presented. The mothers are assumed to make choices from a finite set of job possibilities and from a finite set of child ... -
A dynamic equilibrium analysis of a carbon tax
(Discussion papers;145, Working paper, 1995-06)This paper analyses the effects of a carbon tax on a small open petroleum producing economy, using an aggregate intertemporal general equilibrium model with differentiated products. The long run effects on welfare and ... -
A dynamic supply side game applied to the european gas market
(Discussion Paper;No. 22, Working paper, 1987-07-16)This paper discusses optimal investment plans for large gas exporters to Western Europe. We discuss market power on the supply side, while assuming price taker behaviour on the demand side. A static game approach is ... -
A framework for analyzing rank ordered data with application to automobile demand
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2009)In this paper we develop a general random utility framework for analyzing data on individuals' rank orderings. Specifically, we show that in the case with 3 alternatives one can express the probability of a particular rank ... -
A framework for empirical modelling of consumer demand with latent quality attributes
(Discussion Papers;No. 229, Working paper, 1998)This paper discusses a particular approach to empirical consumer demand modelling when products are differentiated and the product attributes are unobservable. In contrast to the traditional approach to this problem, see ... -
A framework for estimating disequilibrium models with many markets
(Discussion papers;138, Working paper, 1995-02)This paper presents a framework for estimating non-Walrasian models with many markets based on the virtual price approach in Lee (1986). The paper discusses an open economy multi-market non-Walrasian model with many agents ... -
A general equilibrium evaluation of aggregate welfare effects from improved sectoral efficiency . Empirical evidence for Norway
(Discussion Papers;No. 224, Working paper, 1998)This paper discusses and shows how a CGE model can be used to assess welfare effects of structural policy reforms targeting inefficiency problems at micro levels that normally are not captured in operational CGE-models. ... -
A Generalization of Hall's Specification of the Consumption function
(Discussion papers;121, Working paper, 1994-07)This paper deals with optimal consumption over time. The starting point is a dynamic utility function which is exponential where the exponent is quadratic in the observable consumption outlays. The approach is shown to be ... -
A generalized single equation error correction model and its application to quarterly data
(Discussion Paper;No. 19, Working paper, 1986-12-01)In this paper, we specify a class of single equation 'error correction' models on the basis of a general autoregressive-distributed lag regression equation with one regressor and a white noise disturbance. This relationship ... -
A Kantian approach to sustainable development indicators for climate change
(Discussion papers;718, Working paper, 2012-11)Agenda 21 required countries to develop and regularly update a national set of indicators for sustainable development. Several countries now have such sets also including separate indicators for climate change. Some of ... -
A laboratory stress-test of bid, double and offer auctions
(Discussion Papers;No. 327, Working paper, 2002)Abstract: This paper reports on the empirical properties of the bid auction (buyers propose prices), offer auction (sellers suggest prices) and double auction (both buyers and seller initiate price quotes). These trading ... -
A linear demand system within a Seemingly Unrelated Time Series Equation framework
(Discussion Papers;No. 345, Working paper, 2003)Abstract: We consider a Seemingly Unrelated Time Series Equations framework for the linear Almost Ideal Demand system. The framework is applied to a consumer demand system covering nine non-durable commodities. We test ... -
A macromodel of local government spending behaviour in Norway
(Discussion Papers;No. 117, Working paper, 1994)A cooperative bargaining model is adapted to the setting of local government in Norway. Aggregate consumption, the capital stock and net financial wealth in the local public sector are endogenized. The origin of intertia ... -
A method for improved capital measurement by combining accounts and firm investment data. A revised version
(Discussion Papers;No. 365, Working paper, 2007)Abstract: We propose a new method for estimating capital stocks at the firm level by combining business accounts information and investment data. The method also produces capital estimates at the sector or industry level ... -
A method of weighting adjustment for survey data subject to nonignorable nonresponse
(Discussion Papers;No. 311, Working paper, 2001)Abstract: Weighting adjustment is a standard quasi-randomization approach for survey data subject to nonresponse (Little, 1986). The existing methods are typically based on the assumption that nonresponse is independent ... -
A Note on Post-stratification when Analyzing Binary Survey Data Subject to Non-response
(Discussion papers;218, Working paper, 1998-04)In this paper we follow up two notes of Thomsen (1973, 1978) and present some results on the estimation effect of post-stratification when analyzing binary survey data subject to non-response. Using an alternative ... -
A practical approach for modelbased poverty prediction
(Rapporter;2007/9, Report, 2007)The objective of this report is to provide practical guidance for producing poverty estimates based on ”light” household surveys. Mathiassen (2005) outlines the theoretical model. A household budget survey is used to ... -
A prediction approach to sampling design
(Discussion Papers;No. 440, Working paper, 2005)Abstract: Standard approaches to sample surveys take as the point of departure the estimation of one or several population totals (or means), or a few predefined sub-totals (or sub-means). While the model-based prediction ... -
A short run dynamic equilibrium model of the norwegian production sectors
(Discussion Papers;No. 4, Working paper, 1985-03-25)
