Effekter av finanspolitiske tiltak : en sammenlikning av to makroøkonomiske modeller
(Rapporter;2010/53, Report, 2010)Norge er sammen med Danmark et av de få landene med lang tradisjon for bruk av store makroøkonomiske modeller til politikkanalyser og prognoser. I de fleste akademiske forskningsmiljøene har slik modellbruk hatt liten ... -
Emissions trading with updated grandfathering : entry/exit considerations and distributional effects
(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 ... -
Empirical patterns of firm growth and r&d investment: a quality ladder model interpretation
(Discussion Papers;No. 188, Working paper, 1997)We present a model of endogenous firm growth with R&D investment and innovation as the engine of growth. The objective of our analysis is to present a framework that can be used for microeconometric analysis of firm ... -
Endogenous housing market cycles
(Discussion Papers;No. 458, Working paper, 2006)Abstract: Housing markets tend to display both positive serial correlation as well as a considerable volatility over time. We present a stochastic model illustrating the connection between adaptive expectations and ... -
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 ... -
Energy taxation in a small, open economy : efficiency gains under political restraints
(Discussion Papers;No. 387, Working paper, 2004)Abstract: Welfare analyses of energy taxes typically show that systems with uniform rates perform better than differentiated systems, especially if revenue increases can be recycled via cuts in more distortionary taxes. ... -
Environmental risk and the precautionary principle. “Late lessons from early warnings” applied to genetically modified plants
(Discussion Papers;No. 398, Working paper, 2004)Abstract: The environmental risk associated with genetically modified organisms (GMO) implies that new approaches to risk assessment, risk management and risk communication are needed. In this paper we discuss the role ... -
Environmental tax reform and producer foresight : an intertemporal computable general equilibrium analysis
(Discussion Papers;No. 185, Working paper, 1996)This paper analyses the non-environmental welfare costs of an environmental tax reform using a numerical intertemporal general equilibrium model for the Norwegian economy. The tax reform is revenue neutral such that an ... -
EPA's new emissions trading mechanism : a laboratory evaluation : a comment
(Discussion Papers;No. 213, Working paper, 1998)In the US tradable SO2 permit scheme 97.2 per cent of the permits are grandfathered annually to electricity utilities. The remaining 2.8 per cent are withheld and offered for sale at the Environmental Protection Agency ... -
Equality of opportunity versus equality of outcome in analysing optimal income taxation : empirical evidence based on Italian data
(Discussion Papers;No. 307, Working paper, 2001)Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to introduce and adopt a generalised version of Roemer's (1998) Equality of Opportunity (EOp) framework for analysing optimal income taxation. EOp optimal tax rules seek to equalise ... -
Equity versus efficiency in public pension schemes. Microsimulating the trade-off
(Discussion Papers;No. 515, Working paper, 2007)Abstract: Any contribution to a pay-as-you-go pension system may be considered mandatory savings to the extent that it gives a claim to a future benefit. Contributors to the economic literature have argued that an ... -
Escaping the resource curse and the Dutch Disease? : when and why Norway caught up with and forged ahead of its neighbors
(Discussion Papers;No. 377, Working paper, 2004)Abstract: In the 1960s, Norway lagged behind its Scandinavian neighbors in the aggregate value of economic production per capita, as it had for decades. By the 1990s, Norway had caught up with and forged ahead of Denmark ... -
Estimating and restricting growth rates and cointegrationmeans : with applications to consumption and money demand
(Discussion Papers;No. 309, Working paper, 2001)Abstract: The parameters in the cointegration vector and the loading parameters are not the only interesting parameters in a vector cointegration model. With a reformulation of the model the intercept parameters can be ... -
Estimating core inflation : the role of oil price shocks and imported inflation
(Discussion Papers;No. 200, Working paper, 1997)This paper calculates core inflation, by imposing long run restrictions on a structural vector autoregression (VAR) model containing the growth rate of output, inflation and oil prices. Core inflation is identified as ... -
Estimating energy demand elasticities for OECD countries. A dynamic panel data approach
(Discussion Papers;No. 373, Working paper, 2004)Abstract: This paper estimates price and GDP/income elasticities of several energy goods in OECD countries over 1978 to 1999 by applying the one-step GMM estimation method suggested by Arellano and Bond (1991) to a panel ... -
Estimating latent total consumption in a household
(Discussion Papers;No. 324, Working paper, 2002)Abstract: This article presents a new way of estimating latent total consumption in a household that may improve the accuracy of studies into permanent income and consumption inequality. While the frequently used total ... -
Estimating the elasticity of taxable income when earnings responses are sluggish
(Discussion Paper;No. 926, Working paper, 2020-04)Estimates of the elasticity of taxable income (ETI) is conventionally obtained by “stacking” three-year overlapping differences in the estimation. In effect, this means that the ETI estimate is an average of first-, second-, ... -
Estimation of price elasticities from Norwegian householdsurvey data
(Discussion Papers;No. 202, Working paper, 1997)In this paper, a subsystem of demand equations is estimated using data from the Norwegian survey of household expenditures 1989-1991. One objective has been to obtain substantial knowledge of Norwegian household demand ... -
Estimation of time series of latent variables in an accounting system : petrol consumption of Norwegian households 1973-1995
(Discussion Papers;No. 203, Working paper, 1997)We present an approach for estimating time series of a set of latent variables satisfying accounting identities. We concentrate on a simple case study and comment on possible generalizations. The model consists of three ... -
Evaluating alternative representations of the choice sets in models of labour supply
(Discussion Papers;No. 449, Working paper, 2006)Abstract: 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 ...
