Accounting for differences in choice opportunities in analyses of energy expenditure
(Discussion Papers;No. 400, Working paper, 2004)Abstract: Zero expenditure poses several challenges when estimating demand systems. Zero expenditure on energy goods occur due to limited opportunity to consume the good or because the household chooses not to use all ... -
Accounting for family background when designing optimal income taxes : a microeconometric simulation analysis
(Discussion Papers;No. 619, Working paper, 2010)Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to introduce and adopt a generalised version of Roemer's (1998) Equality of Opportunity (EOp) framework, which we call extended EOp, for analysing second-best optimal income taxation. ... -
Accumulation of r&d capital and dynamic firm performance: a not-so-fixed effect model
(Discussion Papers;No. 184, Working paper, 1996)Considering the observed patterns of R&D investment, we argue that a model which allows for a positive feedback from already acquired knowledge to the productiveness of current research, fits the empirical evidence better ... -
The accuracy of Statistics Norway’s national population projections
(Discussion Paper;No. 948, Working paper, 2021-03)Statistics Norway projects the population by age, sex and immigrant background at the national level. This paper examines the accuracy of the Norwegian population projections produced between 1996 and 2018. We assess ... -
Adapt or withdraw? Evidence on technological changes and early retirement using matched worker-firm data
(Discussion Papers;No. 509, Working paper, 2007)Abstract: Older workers typically possess older vintages of skills than younger workers, and they may suffer more from technological change. Experienced workers may nevertheless have accumulated human capital making ... -
Adjusting maternal mortality data for international comparisons. The case of vital registration systems
(Discussion papers;773, Working paper, 2014-03)Register data on maternal deaths is adjusted in international reports to account for underreporting; however, there has been controversy around these adjustments. The objective of this article is to review the adjustment ... -
Adjusting NNP for instrumental or defensive expenitures: an analytical approach
(Discussion papers;134, Working paper, 1994-12)In this paper we provide a formal analysis to evaluate the subtraction of defensive expenditures from GDP. We consider expenditures that are used to produce non-market goods as candidates for being subtracted from GDP. It ... -
Age at immigration and crime. Findings for male immigrants in Norway
(Discussion papers;728, Working paper, 2012-12)Previous studies have identified an “immigrant paradox” in crime in which crime rates are highest among immigrants who are young when they arrive in the host country, even though social capital and integration in the labour ... -
Aggregate behavior in matching markets with fl exible contracts and non-transferable representations of preferences
(Discussion Papers;No. 875, Working paper, 2018-05-30)This paper modifies and extends the aggregate equilibrium models for matching markets developed earlier in the literature. Agents in the matching market search for a match among potential partners, including agreements ... -
Aggregate industry behaviour in a monopolistic competition model with heterogeneous firms
(Discussion Papers;No. 352, Working paper, 2003)Abstract: The paper analyses how a tractable representation of productivity heterogeneity among firms modifies the standard Dixit-Stiglitz (DS) model of monopolistic competition. The properties of the asymmetric model are ... -
Aggregate productivity and heterogeneous firms
(Discussion Papers;No. 266, Working paper, 2000)It is an established fact that firms, even within narrowly defined industries, differ with respect to productivity. In this paper we analyse how observed heterogeneity in productivity is affected by endogenous producer ... -
Aggregate productivity effects of technology shocks in a model of heterogeneous firms : the importance of equilibrium adjustments
(Discussion Papers;No. 198, Working paper, 1997)This paper studies how productivity shifts at the level of the firm are transmitted to aggregate industry productivity in a model of heterogeneous firms. We analyse both uniform productivity shifts, and catching up by ... -
Aggregation and aggregation biases in production functions : a panel data analysis of translog models
(Discussion Papers;No. 317, Working paper, 2002)Abstract: An applied econometric study of aggregation, based on an unbalanced panel data set for manu-facturing plants is presented. Panel data are informative in examining aggregation of variables, parameters, and ... -
Aggregation in matching markets
(Discussion Papers;No. 173, Working paper, 1996)This paper develops aggregate relations for a matching market of heterogeneous suppliers and demanders. The point of departure is the analysis of two-sided matching found in Roth and Sotomayor (1990). Under particular ... -
Aggregation when Markets do not Clear
(Discussion papers;139, Working paper, 1995-02)This paper presents a method for aggregation across markets in a Non-Walrasian model, focusing mainly on labor markets. The method utilizes a probabilistic approach based on aggregating across virtual price functions instead ... -
Aggregation with price variation and heterogeneity across consumers
(Discussion Papers;No. 489, Working paper, 2006)Abstract: In the aggregation literature, prices and price and income derivatives are often assumed not to vary across consumers. These assumptions may not be fulfilled: prices often vary and consumers are heterogeneous ... -
Agricultural production with uncertain water supply
(Discussion Papers;No. 370, Working paper, 2004)Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to develop a framework for analysis of multioutput agricultural production when the supply of water is uncertain. Specifically, we assume that the farmer operates as if the decision ... -
Air pollution and sick-leaves - is there a connection? A case study using air pollution data from Oslo
(Discussion Papers;No. 197, Working paper, 1997)In recent years a growing number of studies have been discussing the relationship between air pollution and human health. The evidence in the literature for adverse health effects of several pol-lutants seems convincing. ... -
An alternative approach to labor supply modeling : emphasizing job-type as choice variable
(Discussion Papers;No. 550, Working paper, 2008)Abstract: Traditional labor supply analysis is based on the assumption that workers only have preferences over consumption and hours of work, and are able to choose consumption and hours freely within the budget constraint. ... -
Alternative designs for tariffs on embodied carbon. A global cost-effectiveness analysis
(Discussion Papers;682, Working paper, 2012)In the absence of effective world-wide cooperation to curb global warming, import tariffs on embodied carbon have been proposed as a potential supplement to unilateral emissions pricing. We systematically consider alternative ...
