Cash-on-Hand and the duration of job search. Quasi-experimental evidence from Norway
(Discussion Papers;679, Working paper, 2012)We identify the causal effect of lump-sum severance payments on non-employment duration in Norway by exploiting a discontinuity in eligibility at age 50. We find that a severance payment worth 1.2 months' earnings at the ... -
Causal effects of paternity on children and parents
(Discussion Papers;No. 657, Working paper, 2011)Abstract: In this paper we use a parental leave reform directed towards fathers to identify the causal effects of paternity leave on children's and parents' outcomes. We document that paternity leave causes fathers to ... -

Challenges in predicting poverty trends using survey to survey imputation. Experiences from Malawi
(Discussion Paper;No. 900, Working paper, 2019-03-23)Poverty in low-income countries is usually measured with large and infrequent household surveys. A challenge is to find methods to measure poverty more frequently. The objective of this study is to test a method for ... -
Change in Regime and Markov Models
(Discussion papers;204, Working paper, 1997-11)In this paper we point out that using a two-state Markov chain to describe change in regime makes it difficult to interpret the model since there is a bias towards frequent shifts. However, by using a finite Markov chain ... -
Changes in the pattern of household electricity demand over time
(Discussion Papers;No. 255, Working paper, 1999)Empirical estimates of long run effects on residential electricity demand from changes in the electricity price are usually estimated by cross-sectional variation in the current stock of electric household appliances across ... -
Changing returns to education across cohorts : selection, school system or skills obsolescence?
(Discussion Papers;No. 302, Working paper, 2001)Abstract: This paper investigates whether economic returns to education in Norway differ across cohorts. Differences in returns to education may arise from selection effects - the large increase in educational attainment ... -
Characteristics of parents with shared residence and father sole custody. Evidence from Norway 2012
(Discussion papers;780, Working paper, 2014-06)Shared residence for children has increased considerably in recent years among parents living apart in Norway, while mother sole custody is less common than before and father sole custody is still practiced by a minority. ... -
Characterization and measurement of duration dependence in hazard rate models
(Discussion Papers;No. 319, Working paper, 2002)Abstract: As is known from the economic literature, the notion of negative/positive duration dependence defined in terms of a decreasing/increasing hazard function can solely be used as a basis for revealing whether ... -
Child care before age two and the development of language and numeracy: Evidence from a lottery
(Discussion papers;808, Working paper, 2015-05)Young children are thought to be vulnerable to separation from the primary caregiver/s. This raises concern about whether early child care enrollment may harm children's development. We use child care assignment lotteries ... -
Child care center staff composition and early child development
(Discussion Papers;No. 870, Working paper, 2017-12-13)We estimate effects of child care center staff composition on early child development. During the years our data covers, child care centers in Oslo were oversubscribed, and child care slots were allocated through a ... -
Child care in the welfare state : a critique of the Rosen model
(Discussion Papers;No. 269, Working paper, 2000)A recent study of the welfare state in Sweden, Rosen (1995, 1996, 1997), concludes that child care subsidies may lead to substantial deadweight losses that may impede economic growth and the future of the welfare state. ... -
Child care, parental labor supply and tax revenue
(Discussion Papers;No. 881, Working paper, 2018-08-13)For identification, we exploit the staggered expansion across municipalities following a large reform from 2002. Our IV-estimates indicate that child care use causes an increase in the labor supply of mothers. Results ... -
Childhood residential mobility and adult outcomes
(Discussion papers;750, Working paper, 2013-09)This study analyses the relation between moving during childhood and four different outcomes later in life. We use detailed data on complete cohorts born in Norway between 1965 and 1980 (N=967 151), their parents and ... -
Children as family commuters. The geographical distance between nonresident parents and children in Norway
(Discussion Papers;No. 841, Working paper, 2016-06-07)As union dissolution rates increase in most modern societies, a growing number of children are living in post-separation families. The geographical distance between parental households shapes the possibilities for contact ... -
Choice among lotteries when preferences are stochastic
(Discussion Papers;No. 221, Working paper, 1998)Abstract: This paper discusses the problem of specifying probabilistic models for choices (strategies) with uncertain outcomes. The point of departure is an extension of the axiom system of the von Neumann-Morgenstern ... -
The choice of space heating system and energy consumption in Norwegian household
(Discussion Paper;No. 102, Working paper, 1993-12)The procurement of space heating equipment is modelled jointly with the intensity of use. Annualized capital cost ("user cost of capital") is found to have a significant impact on the procurement decision. This impact ... -
Choice probabilities and equilibrium conditions in a matching market with flexible contracts
(Discussion Paper;No. 94, Working paper, 1993-08)The purpose of the paper is to develop discrete and continuous probabilistic choice models for a matching market of heterogeneous suppliers and demanders. The point of departure is similar to that of Tinbergen (1956) which ... -
Choice under uncertainty and bounded rationality
(Discussion Papers;No. 409, Working paper, 2005)Abstract: This paper develops a theory for probabilistic models for risky choices that can be viewed as an extension of the expected utility theory to account for bounded rationality. One probabilistic version of the ...
