A demand system for input factors when there are technological changes in production
(Discussion Papers;No. 556, Working paper, 2008)Abstract: In a system with n input factors there are n − 1 independent cost shares. An often-used approach in estimating factor demand systems is to (implicitly or explicitly) assume that there is a (independent) cointegrating ... -
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 ... -
Are technological change and organizational change biased against older workers? Firm-level evidence
(Discussion Papers;No. 512, Working paper, 2007)Abstract: Recent decades have been characterized by rapid technological change. In the same period, early withdrawal from the labor market has increased markedly. One particular question concerns the effects of technological ... -
Cost-effective environmental policy: Implications of induced technological change
(Discussion Papers;No. 314, Working paper, 2002)Abstract: Cost-effective environmental policy generally requires that all emission sources are faced with the same tax. In this paper I discuss how the existence of induced technological change may alter this result, if ... -
Energy flexibility and technological progress with multioutput production : application on Norwegian pulp and paper industries
(Discussion Papers;No. 318, Working paper, 2002)Abstract: We analyse the energy flexibility and technological change in the pulp and paper industry by applying a multioutput production function. The pulp and paper industry mostly consists of heterogeneous firms. They ... -
Job creation, heterogeneous workers and technical change : matched worker/plant data : evidence from Norway
(Discussion Papers;No. 304, Working paper, 2001)Abstract: Using matched worker/plant level data for Norway, theories explaining the change in skill composition are assessed using direct evidence on the job creation and destruction for high, medium and low skilled ... -
Optimal CO2 abatement and technological change : should emission taxes start high in order to spur R&D?
(Discussion Papers;No. 548, Working paper, 2008)Abstract: Many European politicians argue that since technological development is needed to solve the climate problem, the EU should take the lead and set tougher emission targets than what is required by the Kyoto protocol. ... -
Optimal timing of environmental policy. Interaction between environmental taxes and innovation externalities
(Discussion Papers;No. 493, Working paper, 2007)Abstract: This paper addresses the impact of endogenous technology through research and development (R&D) and learning by doing (LbD) on the timing of environmental policy. We develop two models, the first with technological ... -
Profitability of different instruments in international climate policies
(Discussion Papers;No. 403, Working paper, 2005)Abstract: This article discusses how different climate policy instruments such as CO2 taxes and renewable energy subsidies affect the profitability of fossil fuel production, given that a fixed global climate target ... -
Technological changes in the pulp and paper industry and the role of uniform versus selective environmental policy
(Discussion Papers;No. 357, Working paper, 2003)Abstract: Although environmental regulations may imply a cost increase on firm's conventional input factors, such regulations could stimulate the incentives to improve factor productivity. Productivity measures including ... -
Technology, trade and inequality
(Discussion Papers;No. 364, Working paper, 2003)Abstract: In recent decades new technology has led to increasing demand for well-educated labour at the expense of labour with lower education levels. Moreover, increased imports from low-cost countries have squeezed ... -
The clean development mechanism versus international permit trading: the effect on technological change
(Discussion Papers;No. 521, Working paper, 2007)Abstract: The clean development mechanism of the Kyoto Protocol may induce technological change in developing countries. As an alternative to the clean development mechanism regime, developing countries may accept a ...
