A behavioral two-sex marriage model
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2001)In this paper we propose a particular marriage model, i.e., a model for the number of marriages for each age combination as a function of the vectors of the number of single men and women in each age group. The model is ... -
A framework for analyzing rank ordered data with application to automobile demand
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2009)In this paper we develop a general random utility framework for analyzing data on individuals' rank orderings. Specifically, we show that in the case with 3 alternatives one can express the probability of a particular rank ... -
Accounting for family background when designing optimal income taxes: a microeconometric simulation analysis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)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. Unlike ... -
Assimilation effects on poverty among immigrants in Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2005)This paper discusses the question of whether or not the high incidence of poverty among immigrants in Norway persists even after immigrants have been in the country for a long period, i.e. after they have had the opportunity ... -
Avoiding adverse employment effects from electricity taxation in Norway: What does it cost?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)Welfare analyses of energy taxes typically show that systems with uniform rates perform better than differentiated systems. However, most western countries include some exemptions for their energyintensive export industries ... -
Axiomatic characterization of the Gini coefficient and Lorenz curve orderings
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2001)This paper is concerned with distributions of income and the ordering of related Lorenz curves. By introducing appropriate preference relations on the set of Lorenz curves, two alternative axiomatic characterizations of ... -
Axiomatization of stochastic models for choice under uncertainty
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2008)This paper develops a theory of probabilistic models for risky choices. This theory can be viewed as an extension of the expected utility theory. One probabilistic version of the Archimedean Axiom and two versions of the ... -
Baby booming inequality? Demographic change and earnings inequality in Norway, 1967–2000
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)In this paper, we demonstrate how age-adjusted inequality measures can be used to evaluate whether changes in inequality over time are due to changes in the age-structure. To this end, we use administrative data on earnings ... -
Birds of a feather flock together’: the impact of choice of spouse on family labor income inequality
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2005)This paper analyzes to what extent the rise in women's labor force participation has led to ‘flocking together’, i.e. whether women with high labor income tend to be married to men with high labor income, or vice versa. ... -
Cartelization in gas markets: Studying the potential for a “Gas OPEC”
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Natural gas is increasingly important as a fuel for electric power generation as well as other uses due to its environmental advantage over other fossil fuels. Using the World Gas Model, a large-scale energy equilibrium ... -
Decomposition of rank-dependent measures of inequality by subgroups
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2005)Summary - The purpose of additive subgroup decomposition is to study the relationship between overall inequality and inequality within and between population subgroups defined by variables like gender, age, education and ... -
Discrete choice in continuous time : implications of an intertemporal version of the IIA property
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2002)This paper proposes a particular behavioral axiom to characterize the stochastic structure of static discrete choice models with serially correlated utilities. This assumption extends Luce’s axiom; “Independence from ... -
The Distributional impact of public services when needs differ
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010)Despite a broad consensus on the need to take into account the value of public services in distributional analysis, there is little reliable evidence on how the inclusion of such non-cash income actually affects poverty ... -
The Effects of Using Administrative Registers in Economic Short Term Statistics: The Norwegian Labour Force Survey as a Case Study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2001)ABSTRACT: In the case of a single survey at one point in time, it is well known that combining administrative registers with survey data often substantially improves the quality of estimation. However, in short term ... -
Efficient simulated maximum likelihood estimation through explicitly parameter dependent importance sampling
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)There exists an overall negative assessment of the performance of the simulated maximum likelihood algorithm in the statistics literature, founded on both theoretical and empirical results. At the same time, there also ... -
Empirical rules of thumb for choice under uncertainty
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)Abstract: A substantial body of empirical evidence shows that individuals overweight extreme events and act in conflict with the expected utility theory. These findings were the primary motivation behind the development ... -
Estimates for small area compositions subjected to informative missing data
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2009)Abstract Estimation of small area (or domain) compositions may suffer from informative missing data, if the probability of missing varies across the categories of interest as well as the small areas. We develop a double ... -
Evaluating alternative representations of the choice sets in models of labour supply
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2009)During the last two decades, the discrete-choice modelling of labour supply decisions has become increasingly popular, starting with Aaberge et al. (1995) and van Soest (1995). Within the literature adopting this approach ... -
Fertility and family policy in Norway : a reflection on trends and possible connections
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2004)Below replacement fertility in many countries has lead to a renewed public interest in policies that may encourage young people to have more children. The Nordic countries are sometimes in focus in this respect, as their ... -
Fertility and public policies : evidence from Norway and Finland
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010)Below replacement fertility in many countries has lead to a renewed public interest in policies that may encourage young people to have more children. The Nordic countries are sometimes in focus in this respect, as their ...
