On the prediction of population totals from sample surveys based on rotating panels
(Discussion Papers;No. 3, Working paper, 1985-03-20) -
On the price and volume effects from green certificates in the energy market
(Discussion Papers;No. 351, Working paper, 2003)Abstract: We present a model for an energy market that includes a green certificate for suppliers of energy from renewables and a purchaser commitment to buy these certificates. We show that price and volume effects in ... -
On the problem of measuring inequality
(Discussion Papers;No. 14, Working paper, 1986-06-01)The combination of the Lorenz curve and the Gini coefficient is a widely used tool for measuring inequality in the distribution of income. In the present paper we suggest inequality curves which possess simple ... -
On the simultaneous determination of current expenditure, real capital, fee income, and public debt in Norwegian local government
(Discussion papers;153, Working paper, 1995-08)An extended community preference model including real and financial investments is estimated on accounting time-series data for the local public sector in Norway. The estimation results indicate considerable sluggishness ... -
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 ... -
Optimal Carbon Taxes and Foreign Aid
(Discussion Papers;1012, Working paper, 2024-05)This article explores whether altruistic preferences toward households in poor high-temperature countries stimulate global warming policies within rich low-temperature countries that avoids damage from global warming. ... -
Optimal climate policy under the possibility of a catastrophe
(Discussion Papers;No. 209, Working paper, 1998)This paper concerns optimal emissions of greenhouse gases when catastrophic consequences are possible. A numerical model is presented which takes into account both continuous climate-feedback damages as well as the ... -
Optimal CO2 abatement and technological change : should emission taxes start high in order to spur R&D?
(Discussion Papers;No. 548, Working paper, 2008)Abstract: Many European politicians argue that since technological development is needed to solve the climate problem, the EU should take the lead and set tougher emission targets than what is required by the Kyoto protocol. ... -
Optimal combinations of income tax and subsidies for education
(Discussion Papers;No. 313, Working paper, 2001)Abstract: Nielsen and Sørensen (1997) find that progressive taxation of labour income is optimal when capital income is taxed. This paper shows that their main result still holds when introducing endogenous choice of ... -
Optimal control and the Fibonacci sequence
(Discussion Papers;674, Working paper, 2012)We bridge mathematical number theory with that of optimal control and show that a generalised Fibonacci sequence enters the control function of finite horizon dynamic optimisation problems with one state and one control ... -
Optimal harvest age considering multiple carbon pools - a comment
(Discussion papers;704, Working paper, 2012-09)In two recent papers, Asante and Armstrong (2012) and Asante et al. (2011) considered the question of optimal harvest ages. They found that the larger are the initial pools of dead organic matter (DOM) and wood products, ... -
Optimal indirect taxation and the uniformity debate: A review of theoretical results and empirical contributions
(Discussion papers;809, Working paper, 2015-05)A review of the theoretical literature on optimal indirect taxation reveals that analytical arguments in favor of uniform indirect taxation seem weak and rather unrealistic; hence determining the optimal tax structure ... -
Optimal location of renewable power
(Discussion Papers;No. 862, Working paper, 2017-06-17)A decarbonization of the energy sector calls for large new investments in renewable energy production. When choosing the location for increased production capacity, the producer has typically limited incentives to take ... -
Optimal oil exploration under climate treaties
(Discussion Papers;No. 245, Working paper, 1999)In this paper we focus on how an international climate treaty will influence the exploration of oil in Non-OPEC countries. We present a numerical intertemporal global equilibrium model for the fossil fuel markets. The ... -
Optimal sequencing of hydroelectric and thermal power generation under energy price uncertainty and demand fluctuations
(Discussion Paper;No. 39, Working paper, 1988-10)The choice between hydro and thermal power in electricity supply is analyzed under stochastic demand and stochastic fuel cost. The first formulation gives rise to an optimal stopping problem, where the investment in hydro ... -
Optimal Starting and Stopping Rules for Resource Depletion when Price is Exogenous and Stochastic
(Discussion Paper;No. 40, Working paper, 1988-12)Optimal developement of exhaustible natural resources is analyzed under the assumption that oil prices follows a geometrical browninan motion: Under specific assumption on cost structure closed form soltions for the ... -
Optimal taxation in applied general equilibrium models adopting the Armington assumption
(Discussion Paper;No. 55, Working paper, 1990-12)The paper derives formulas for optimal taxation in a stylized Applied General Equilibrium (AGE) model, and shows their potential empirical significance. Because of the Armington-assumption for exports and imports, the ... -
Optimal timing of environmental policy. Interaction between environmental taxes and innovation externalities
(Discussion Papers;No. 493, Working paper, 2007)Abstract: This paper addresses the impact of endogenous technology through research and development (R&D) and learning by doing (LbD) on the timing of environmental policy. We develop two models, the first with technological ... -
Origin and residential influences on the first partnership choices of the children of immigrants in Norway
(Discussion Paper;No. 968, Working paper, 2021-11)Using Norwegian register data on migrant-background individuals born 1985 to 2001 who were either native born or who immigrated as children or teens, in combination with data from the World Marriage Database, we investigate ... -
Output-based allocation and investment in clean technologies
(Discussion Papers;644, Working paper, 2011)Allocation of emission allowances may affect firms' incentives to invest in clean technologies. In this paper we show that so-called output-based allocation tends to stimulate such investments as long as individual firms ...
