    • Ageing and labor productivity 

      Hernæs, Erik; Kornstad, Tom; Markussen, Simen; Røed, Knut (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      We exploit a policy-induced shift in the labor supply of elderly (age 63–67) workers in Norway to explore how aging of the workforce within existing firms is likely to affect labor productivity and the demand for younger ...
    • Aggregate behavior in matching markets with fl exible contracts and non-transferable representations of preferences 

      Dagsvik, John K.; Jia, Zhiyang (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 

      Holmøy, Erling (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 marginal costs of public funds 

      Dagsvik, John K.; Strøm, Steinar Øivind (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      In this paper, we discuss aggregate measures of marginal costs of public funds (MCF) in populations that are heterogeneous with respect to observed as well as unobserved characteristics. We first discuss how to compute MCF ...
    • Aggregate productivity and heterogeneous firms 

      Holmøy, Erling; Hægeland, Torbjørn (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 

      Holmøy, Erling; Hægeland, Torbjørn (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 

      Biørn, Erik; Skjerpen, Terje (Discussion Papers;No. 317, Working paper, 2002)

    • Aggregation in matching markets 

      Dagsvik, John K. (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 

      Andreassen, Leif (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 

      Halvorsen, Bente; Larsen, Bodil Merethe (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 ...
