    • A conflict of interests in electricity taxation? A micro econometric analysis of household behaviour 

      Halvorsen, Bente; Nesbakken, Runa (Discussion Papers;No. 338, Working paper, 2002)
      Abstract: In conducting economic policy, governments generally face conflicts in various objectives, e.g. between efficiency and equity. In Norway, one objective of energy politics has been to reduce electricity consumption, ...

    • A counting approach for measuring multidimensional deprivation 

      Aaberge, Rolf; Peluso, Eugenio (Discussion papers (Statistisk sentralbyrå. Forskningsavdelingen);No. 700, Working paper, 2012)
      This paper is concerned with the problem of ranking and quantifying the extent of deprivation exhibited by multidimensional distributions, where the multiple attributes in which an individual can be deprived are represented ...

    • A demand system for input factors when there are technological changes in production 

      Hungnes, Håvard (Discussion Papers;No. 556, Working paper, 2008)
      Abstract: In a system with n input factors there are n − 1 independent cost shares. An often-used approach in estimating factor demand systems is to (implicitly or explicitly) assume that there is a (independent) cointegrating ...

    • A directional shadow elasticity of substitution 

      Frenger, Petter (Discussion Papers;No. 7, Working paper, 1985-04-10)

    • A discrete choice model for labor supply and child care 

      Kornstad, Tom; Thoresen, Thor Olav (Discussion Papers;No. 315, Working paper, 2002)
      Abstract: A discrete choice model for labor supply and child care for mothers of preschoolers is presented. The mothers are assumed to make choices from a finite set of job possibilities and from a finite set of child ...

    • A dynamic equilibrium analysis of a carbon tax 

      Bye, Brita (Discussion papers;145, Working paper, 1995-06)
      This paper analyses the effects of a carbon tax on a small open petroleum producing economy, using an aggregate intertemporal general equilibrium model with differentiated products. The long run effects on welfare and ...

    • A dynamic supply side game applied to the european gas market 

      Brekke, Kjell Arne; Gjelsvik, Eystein; Vatne, Bjørn Helge (Discussion Paper;No. 22, Working paper, 1987-07-16)
      This paper discusses optimal investment plans for large gas exporters to Western Europe. We discuss market power on the supply side, while assuming price taker behaviour on the demand side. A static game approach is ...

    • A framework for empirical modelling of consumer demand with latent quality attributes 

      Dagsvik, John K.; Zhu, Yu; Aaberge, Rolf (Discussion Papers;No. 229, Working paper, 1998)
      This paper discusses a particular approach to empirical consumer demand modelling when products are differentiated and the product attributes are unobservable. In contrast to the traditional approach to this problem, see ...

    • A framework for estimating disequilibrium models with many markets 

      Andreassen, Leif (Discussion papers;138, Working paper, 1995-02)
      This paper presents a framework for estimating non-Walrasian models with many markets based on the virtual price approach in Lee (1986). The paper discusses an open economy multi-market non-Walrasian model with many agents ...

    • A general equilibrium evaluation of aggregate welfare effects from improved sectoral efficiency . Empirical evidence for Norway 

      Holmøy, Erling (Discussion Papers;No. 224, Working paper, 1998)
      This paper discusses and shows how a CGE model can be used to assess welfare effects of structural policy reforms targeting inefficiency problems at micro levels that normally are not captured in operational CGE-models. ...

    • A Generalization of Hall's Specification of the Consumption function 

      Willassen, Yngve (Discussion papers;121, Working paper, 1994-07)
      This paper deals with optimal consumption over time. The starting point is a dynamic utility function which is exponential where the exponent is quadratic in the observable consumption outlays. The approach is shown to be ...

    • A generalized single equation error correction model and its application to quarterly data 

      Biørn, Erik; Olsen, Hilde (Discussion Paper;No. 19, Working paper, 1986-12-01)
      In this paper, we specify a class of single equation 'error correction' models on the basis of a general autoregressive-distributed lag regression equation with one regressor and a white noise disturbance. This relationship ...

    • A Kantian approach to sustainable development indicators for climate change 

      Greaker, Mads; Stoknes, Per Espen; Alfsen, Knut H.; Ericson, Torgeir (Discussion papers;718, Working paper, 2012-11)
      Agenda 21 required countries to develop and regularly update a national set of indicators for sustainable development. Several countries now have such sets also including separate indicators for climate change. Some of ...

    • A laboratory stress-test of bid, double and offer auctions 

      Søberg, Morten (Discussion Papers;No. 327, Working paper, 2002)
      Abstract: This paper reports on the empirical properties of the bid auction (buyers propose prices), offer auction (sellers suggest prices) and double auction (both buyers and seller initiate price quotes). These trading ...

    • A linear demand system within a Seemingly Unrelated Time Series Equation framework 

      Raknerud, Arvid; Skjerpen, Terje; Swensen, Anders Rygh (Discussion Papers;No. 345, Working paper, 2003)
      Abstract: We consider a Seemingly Unrelated Time Series Equations framework for the linear Almost Ideal Demand system. The framework is applied to a consumer demand system covering nine non-durable commodities. We test ...

    • A macromodel of local government spending behaviour in Norway 

      Langørgen, Audun (Discussion Papers;No. 117, Working paper, 1994)
      A cooperative bargaining model is adapted to the setting of local government in Norway. Aggregate consumption, the capital stock and net financial wealth in the local public sector are endogenized. The origin of intertia ...

    • A method for improved capital measurement by combining accounts and firm investment data. A revised version 

      Raknerud, Arvid; Rønningen, Dag; Skjerpen, Terje (Discussion Papers;No. 365, Working paper, 2007)
      Abstract: We propose a new method for estimating capital stocks at the firm level by combining business accounts information and investment data. The method also produces capital estimates at the sector or industry level ...

    • A method of weighting adjustment for survey data subject to nonignorable nonresponse 

      Zhang, Li-Chun (Discussion Papers;No. 311, Working paper, 2001)
      Abstract: Weighting adjustment is a standard quasi-randomization approach for survey data subject to nonresponse (Little, 1986). The existing methods are typically based on the assumption that nonresponse is independent ...

      In this paper we follow up two notes of Thomsen (1973, 1978) and present some results on the estimation effect of post-stratification when analyzing binary survey data subject to non-response. Using an alternative ...

    • A prediction approach to sampling design 

      Zhang, Li-Chun; Thomsen, Ib (Discussion Papers;No. 440, Working paper, 2005)
      Abstract: Standard approaches to sample surveys take as the point of departure the estimation of one or several population totals (or means), or a few predefined sub-totals (or sub-means). While the model-based prediction ...
