    • Partner Choice and Economic Outcomes among the Children of Immigrants 

      Wiik, Kenneth Aarskaug; Bergsvik, Janna (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Several studies have shown that immigrants marrying natives experience better economic outcomes than those marrying other immigrants, but we know less about partner choice and the economic outcomes of the children of ...
    • The Effects on Energy Markets of Achieving a 1.5 °C Scenario 

      Lindholt, Lars; Wei, Taoyuan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Net zero emission scenarios are aligned with the criteria for the Paris Agreement to keep global warming below 1.5 °C. By soft-linking an energy model with a macroeconomic model, we create a similar pathway to the net zero ...
    • A European equivalence scale for public in-kind transfers 

      Aaberge, Rolf; Langørgen, Audun; Lindgren, Petter Y. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      This paper introduces a theory-based equivalence scale for public in-kind transfers, which justifies comparison of distributions of extended income (cash income plus the value of public services) between European countries. ...
    • Transition risk of a petroleum currency 

      Benedictow, Andreas; Hammersland, Roger (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      The Norwegian krone has been persistently weak since 2017. This is not well explained by data in a standard model where the exchange rate depends on relative interest rates and prices. We extend the standard model by ...
    • The empirical modelling of house prices and debt revisited: a policy-oriented perspective 

      Boug, Pål; Hungnes, Håvard; Kurita, Takamitsu (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      The recent boom in house prices in many countries during the COVID-19 pandemic and the possibility of household financial distress are of concern among some central banks. We revisit the empirical modelling of house prices ...
    • Fiscal policy, macroeconomic performance and industry structure in a small open economy 

      Boug, Pål; von Brasch, Thomas Rolf Lydersen Lystad; Cappelen, Ådne; Hammersland, Roger; Hungnes, Håvard; Kolsrud, Dag; Zhulanova Skretting, Julia; Strøm, Birger; Vigtel, Trond Christian (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      We analyse how fiscal policy affects both the macroeconomy and the industry structure, using a multi-sector macroeconomic model of the Norwegian economy with an inflation targeting monetary policy. Our simulations show ...
    • Empirical modeling of internal migration and commuting flows for economic regions in Norway 

      Kornstad, Tom; Skjerpen, Terje; Stambøl, Lasse Sigbjørn (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      This article provides empirical results for internal migration and commuting flows using panel data for 89 economic regions in Norway for the years 2001–2014. The emphasis is on the potential effects of different incentive ...
    • 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 ...
    • Farvel til en fossil æra? IEAs Net Zero by 2050-scenario 

      Glomsrød, Solveig; Lindholt, Lars; Wei, Taoyuan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Norge har sluttet seg til Parisavtalen og 1,5°C-målet, som innebærer at verden må nå netto null utslipp av CO2 innen midten av dette århundret. Norsk økonomi lener seg fortsatt tungt på olje- og gassinntekter med et betydelig ...
    • Universal Transfers, Tax Breaks and Fertility: Evidence from a Regional Reform in Norway 

      Hart, Rannveig Kaldager; Galloway, Taryn Ann (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
    • Explaining Residential Clustering of Large Families 

      Bergsvik, Janna; Cools, Sara; Hart, Rannveig Kaldager (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Numerous studies have shown that fertility behavior is spatially clustered. In addition to pure contextual effects, two causal mechanisms could drive this pattern. First, neighbors may influence each other's fertility and ...
    • Relationship quality and Family Formation in Europe 

      Blom, Niels; Perelli-Harris, Brienna; Wiik, Kenneth Aarskaug (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      The increase in cohabitation and nonmarital childbearing across Europe has raised questions about who still marries either before or after having a child. Although prior studies have addressed the sequence of marriage and ...
    • A Two-Stage Bennet Decomposition of the Change in the Weighted Arithmetic Mean 

      von Brasch, Thomas Rolf Lydersen Lystad; Grini, Håkon; Johnsen, Magnus Berglund; Vigtel, Trond Christian (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      The weighted arithmetic mean is used in a wide variety of applications. An infinite number of possible decompositions of the change in the weighted mean are available, and it is therefore an open question which of the ...
    • Spatial Trade-Offs in National Land-Based Wind Power Production in Times of Biodiversity and Climate Crises 

      Grimsrud, Kristine; Hagem, Cathrine; Haaskjold, Kristina; Lindhjem, Henrik; Nowell, Megan Sara (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Energy generated by land-based wind power is expected to play a crucial role in the decarbonisation of the economy. However, with the looming biodiversity and nature crises, spatial allocation of wind power can no longer ...
    • Elbiler og toveislading - Fordeler for både bileiere og strømkunder 

      Greaker, Mads; Hagem, Cathrine (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
    • Graph sampling by lagged random walk 

      Zhang, Li-Chun (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-12-10)
      We propose a family of lagged random walk sampling methods in simple undirected graphs, where transition to the next state (i.e., node) depends on both the current and previous states—hence, lagged. The existing random ...
    • The causal interpretation of two-stage least squares with multiple instrumental variables 

      Mogstad, Magne; Torgovitsky, Alexander; Walters, Christopher R. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Empirical researchers often combine multiple instrumental variables (IVs) for a single treatment using two-stage least squares (2SLS). When treatment effects are heterogeneous, a common justification for including multiple ...
    • Perceived Economic Uncertainty and Fertility Intentions in Couples: A Dyadic Extension of the Theory of Planned Behaviour 

      Matera, Camilla; Dommermuth, Lars; Bacci, Silvia; Bertaccini, Bruno; Minello, Alessandra; Vignoli, Daniele (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      By adopting a dyadic extension of the Theory of Planned Behavior (Ajzen, 1991), this study examined whether perceived economic uncertainty afects fertility intentions. Three-hundred thirty one heterosexual couples living ...
    • Altruist talk may (also) be cheap: Revealed versus stated altruism as a predictor in stated preference studies 

      Iversen, Endre Kildal; Grimsrud, Kristine; Mitani, Yohei; Lindhjem, Henrik (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Altruistic preferences have been found to be important for explaining the substantial nonuse values identifed in numerous stated preference surveys. However, studies analysing the efect of altruism on willingness to pay ...
