      Boug, Pål; Cappelen, Ådne; Swensen, Anders Rygh (Discussion Papers;No. 283, Working paper, 2000)
      The formation of export prices is an area in which the linear quadratic adjustment cost (LQAC) model under rational expectations may be relevant in practice. This paper evaluates the empirical performance of the LQAC-model ...

      Lindquist, Kjersti-Gro; Skjerpen, Terje (Documents;2003/9, Working paper, 2003)
      In most OECD-countries, labour demand has shifted from unskilled to skilled over time. Many analyses of this phenomenon focus either on technical change, capital-skill complementarity or mutual labour substitution. ...

    • Factoring the environmental Kuznets curve evidence from Norway 

      Bruvoll, Annegrete; Medin, Hege (Discussion Papers;No. 275, Working paper, 2000)
      The environmental Kuznets curve theory suggests that economic growth may reduce environmental problems. In this article, we analyze the changes in environmentally damaging emissions to air in Norway from 1980 to 1996. In ...
