Home, sweet home or is it -always? Testing the efficiency of the Norwegian housing market
(Discussion Papers;No. 506, Working paper, 2007)Abstract: The question of whether the housing market is efficient or not is posed by an increasing number of economists, policymakers, current homeowners and prospective homebuyers. This article tests the efficiency ... -
How do investments in heat pumps affect household energy consumption?
(Discussion papers;737, Working paper, 2013-04)Increased energy efficiency is often seen as the best way of reducing energy consumption. However, the cost reduction resulting from the efficiency increase can undermine the energy-saving potential of the efficiency ... -
How to quantify household electricity end-use consumption
(Discussion Papers;No. 346, Working paper, 2003)Abstract: Information about total electricity consumption is available for most households. However, the electricity consumption related to different end uses, e.g. space heating, water heating, lighting and services from ... -
Individual heterogeneity and price responses in tobacco consumption : a two-commodity analysis of unbalanced panel data
(Discussion Papers;No. 294, Working paper, 2001)Abstract: The paper presents a panel data analysis of tobacco demand. The purpose is threefold: (i) to measure income, own-price, and cross-price responses for two tobacco commodities: cigarettes and handrolling tobacco, ... -
Means-testing the child benefit
(Discussion Papers;No. 262, Working paper, 1999)Improving the distributional impact of transfers may be costly if it reduces labour supply. In this paper we show how effects of changes in the design of the child benefit programme can be examined by deriving information ... -
On the value of households' recycling efforts
(Discussion Papers;No. 316, Working paper, 2002)Abstract: Do households' recycling efforts represent a social cost, which should be taken into account in cost-benefit analyses of alternative waste treatment systems? Some argue that it should not, since recycling efforts ... -
Possibility for hedging from price increases in residential energy demand
(Discussion Papers;No. 347, Working paper, 2003)Abstract: Liberalisation of the Norwegian electricity market has given more short-term variation in the electricity price. Since almost three quarters of Norwegian households have heating equipment using more than one ... -
Potential demand for alternative fuel vehicles
(Discussion Papers;No. 165, Working paper, 1996)This paper analyzes the potential household demand for alternative fuel vehicles in Norway, by applying data from a stated preference survey. The alternative fuel vehicles we consider are liquid propane gas and electric ... -
Prevalence and substitution effects in tobacco consumption: A discrete choice analysis of panel data
(Discussion Papers;No. 312, Working paper, 2001)Abstract: This paper analyzes tobacco demand within a discrete choice framework. Using binomial and multinomial logit models with random effects, and an unbalanced panel data set of Norwegian households over a twenty year ... -
Price Sensitivity of Residential Energy Consumption in Norway
(Discussion papers; No.232, Working paper, 1998-09)The main aim of this paper is to test the stability of the results of a model which focus on the relationship between the choice of heating equipment and the residential energy consumption. The results for the income and ... -
Residential end-use electricity demand. Development over time
(Discussion papers;736, Working paper, 2013-04)It is costly and difficult to meter electricity consumption for different end uses, e.g. space heating, lighting and household appliances. We deduce a model for using cross-sectional data for total annual electricity ... -
Residential energy consumption for space heating in Norwegian households : a discrete-continuous choice approach
(Discussion Papers;No. 231, Working paper, 1998)In this paper the demand for space heating energy is estimated by using a discrete-continuous choice model which focuses on the relationship between the choice of heating equipment and energy consumption. The model is ... -
Revealing demand for nature experience using purchase data of equipment and lodging
(Discussion Papers;No. 305, Working paper, 2001)Abstract: In 1967, John Krutilla suggested a relationship between car camping, canoe cruising, and cross-country skiing and induced demand for wild, primitive, and wilderness-related opportunities. Here, the time trend ... -
Revenue functions and Dupuit curves for indirect taxes with cross-border shopping
(Discussion Papers;573, Working paper, 2009)The partial revenue from each indirect tax and the total revenue from all indirect taxes on consumer goods are derived as functions of all commodity prices, the tax rates of each commodity, total expenditure and demographic ... -
Saving and portfolio allocation before and after job loss
(Discussion Papers;672, Working paper, 2012)Using administrative panel data from Norway, we investigate the development of household labor income, financial wealth and asset holdings over a nine-year period surrounding job loss. Consistent with a simple theoretical ... -
Searching for basic consumption patterns : is the Engel elasticity of housing unity?
(Discussion Papers;No. 323, Working paper, 2002)Abstract: We estimate Engel elasticities of housing expenditures for each independent cross-section of the Consumer Expenditure Surveys in the period 1986-1998, and find that the elasticity remains close to unity for all ... -
Some fundamental problems in Becker, Grossman and Murphy's implementation of rational addiction theory
(Discussion Papers;No. 375, Working paper, 2004)Abstract: The econometric implementation of rational addiction theory has been highly influenced by Becker, Grossman and Murphy (BGM). They specify an Euler equation where current consumption is determined by current price ... -
The elasticity of substitution of superlative price indices
(Discussion Papers;No. 407, Working paper, 2005)Abstract: The paper presents a method for computing the curvature implicit in the use of superlative price indices. It extends the quadratic lemma and allows us to compute the elasticity of substitution of the underlying ... -
The impact on rent from tenant and landlord characteristics and interaction
(Discussion Papers;No. 467, Working paper, 2006)Abstract: Owner-occupied housing services and rented housing services are often considered close substitutes, and both house price and rental price indices rely on regressions based on dwelling and location characteristics. ... -
