    • Emission regulation: Prices, quantities and hybrids with endogenous technology choice 

      Storrøsten, Halvor Briseid (Discussion Paper;No. 1003, Working paper, 2023-06)
      This paper examines the investment incentives of market-based regulation, with focus on the technology characteristics the different regulatory schemes tend to incentivize. The firms' technology choice is socially optimal ...
    • Emissions trading with updated grandfathering : entry/exit considerations and distributional effects 

      Rosendahl, Knut Einar; Storrøsten, Halvor Briseid (Discussion Papers;No. 546, Working paper, 2008)
      Abstract: Allocation of free emissions allowances may distort firms' incentives or have adverse distributional effects. Nevertheless, Böhringer and Lange (2005) show that in a closed emissions trading scheme with a fixed ...
    • Endogenous preferences and environmental policy 

      Storrøsten, Halvor Briseid (Discussion Paper;No. 964, Working paper, 2021-10)
      This paper investigates environmental policy in the presence of endogenous preferences. The optimal time trajectory is achieved if and only if the consumer is perfectly time-consistent. The suboptimal trajectories do not ...

      Rosendahl, Knut Einar; Storrøsten, Halvor Briseid (Journal article, 2011)
      Tildeling av gratis klimakvoter kan påvirke bedrifters insentiver til å investere i renere produksjonsteknologi. I denne artikkelen diskuterer vi effektene av gratis tildeling når bedriftene får tildelt et antall omsettelige ...
    • Incentives to invest in abatement technology : a tax versus emissions trading under imperfect competition 

      Storrøsten, Halvor Briseid (Discussion Papers;606, Working paper, 2010)
      In the longer run, effects on R&D and the implementation of advanced abatement technology may be at least as important as short-run cost effectiveness when we evaluate public environmental policy. In this paper, we show ...
    • Klima, arealbruk og økosystemregnskap 

      Aslaksen, Iulie; Bye, Brita; Grimsrud, Kristine; Garnåsjordet, Per Arild; Rørholt, Anne; Steinnes, Margrethe; Kaushal, Kevin Raj; Storrøsten, Halvor Briseid; Dalen, Hanne Marit; Lindholt, Lars; Hagem, Cathrine; Rognerud, Live Margrethe; Randen, Trine Heil Braathu (Others, 2023)
    • Modelling and forecasting rig rates on the Norwegian Continental Shelf 

      Skjerpen, Terje; Storrøsten, Halvor Briseid; Rosendahl, Knut Einar; Osmundsen, Petter (Discussion Papers;No. 832, Working paper, 2015-12-22)
      Knowledge about rig markets is crucial for understanding the global oil market. In this paper we first develop a simple bargaining model for rig markets. Knowledge about rig markets is crucial for understanding the ...
    • Oil consumption subsidy removal in OPEC and other Non-OECD countries Oil market impacts and welfare effects 

      Aune, Finn Roar; Grimsrud, Kristine; Lindholt, Lars; Rosendahl, Knut Einar; Storrøsten, Halvor Briseid (Discussion Papers;No. 846, Working paper, 2016-09-19)
      This paper studies the oil market effects of phasing out oil consumption subsidies in the transport sector. Welfare effects in different countries are also examined. We investigate potential feedback mechanisms of oil ...
    • Output-based allocation and investment in clean technologies 

      Rosendahl, Knut Einar; Storrøsten, Halvor Briseid (Discussion Papers;644, Working paper, 2011)
      Allocation of emission allowances may affect firms' incentives to invest in clean technologies. In this paper we show that so-called output-based allocation tends to stimulate such investments as long as individual firms ...
    • Politikk på politikk – derfor koster klimapolitikken 

      Bye, Brita; Fæhn, Taran; Kaushal, Kevin R.; Storrøsten, Halvor Briseid; Yonezawa, Hidemichi (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Norge har ambisiøse mål i klimapolitikken for ikke-kvotepliktig sektor. Kuttene kan gjennomføres billigst mulig ved å stille alle utslippskildene overfor samme utslippspris. Imidlertid oppstår en stor del av de samfunnsøkonomiske ...
    • Price versus tradable quantity regulation : uncertainty and endogenous technology choice 

      Storrøsten, Halvor Briseid (Discussion Papers;No. 643, Working paper, 2011)
      Abstract: This paper shows that tradable emissions permits and an emissions tax have a risk-related technology choice effect. We first examine the first- and second-order moments in the probability distributions of optimal ...
    • Prices vs. quantities : technology choice, uncertainty and welfare 

      Storrøsten, Halvor Briseid (Discussion Papers;677, Working paper, 2012)
      This paper shows that tradable emissions permits and an emissions tax affect the firms' technology choice differently under uncertainty. A tax encourages the most flexible technology if and only if stochastic costs and ...
    • Prices vs. quantities with endogenous cost structure 

      Storrøsten, Halvor Briseid (Discussion papers;755, Working paper, 2013-10)
      Authorities often lack information for efficient regulation of the commons. This paper derives a criterion comparing prices versus tradable quantities in terms of expected welfare, given uncertainty, optimal policy and ...
    • Regulation in the presence of adjustment costs and resource scarcity: transition dynamics and intertemporal effects 

      Storrøsten, Halvor Briseid (Discussion Papers;No. 864, Working paper, 2017-09-20)
      Announcement of future environmental regulation is likely to reduce current emissions in the combined presence of resource scarcity and adjustment costs. This contrasts with the results in the literature on the green ...
    • Short run effects of bleaker prospects for oligopolistic producers of a non-renewable resource 

      Grimsrud, Kristine; Rosendahl, Knut Einar; Storrøsten, Halvor Briseid; Tsygankova, Marina (Discussion papers;733, Working paper, 2013-01)
      In a non-renewable resource market with imperfect competition, the resource owners’ supply is governed both by current demand and by the resource rent. New information regarding future market conditions will typically ...
    • Smart hedging against carbon leakage 

      Böhringer, Christoph; Storrøsten, Halvor Briseid; Rosendahl, Knut Einar (Discussion papers;920, Working paper, 2019-11)
      Policy makers in the EU and elsewhere are concerned that unilateral carbon pricing induces carbon leakage through relocation of emission-intensive and trade-exposed industries to other regions. A common measure to mitigate ...
    • Smart hedging against carbon leakage 

      Böhringer, Christoph; Rosendahl, Knut Einar; Storrøsten, Halvor Briseid (Discussion papers;No.822, Working paper, 2015-10)
      Unilateral climate policy induces carbon leakage through the relocation of emission-intensive and trade-exposed industries to regions with no or more lenient emission regulation. Both analytical and numerical studies suggest ...
    • Supply versus demand-side policies in the presence of carbon leakage and the green paradox 

      Hagem, Cathrine; Storrøsten, Halvor Briseid (Discussion Papers;No. 836, Working paper, 2016-02-11)
      This study derives the optimal combination of consumer taxes and producer taxes when both spatial and intertemporal leakages from the free-riders are taken into account. The starting point of this paper is a climate ...
    • U.S. tight oil supply flexibility - A multivariate dynamic model for production and rig activity 

      Storrøsten, Halvor Briseid (Discussion Papers;997, Working paper, 2023-02)
      This paper examines the supply of U.S. LTO from both a theoretical and empirical point of view. The theory model combines endogenous rig activity and stylized reservoir pressure mechanics with the classic Hotelling ...
