    • Climate change - lower electricity prices and increasing demand. An application to the Nordic Countries 

      Gabrielsen, Karina; Bye, Torstein; Aune, Finn Roar (Discussion Papers;No. 430, Working paper, 2005)

    • A climate convention and the Norwegian economy: A CGE assessment 

      Brendemoen, Anne; Vennemo, Haakon (Discussion Paper;No. 64, Working paper, 1991-07)
      Using a multisector computable general equilibrium (CGE) model, the paper studies the impact of a climate convention on the Norwegian economy. A wide range of implications are discussed, including main macroeconomic ...

    • Climate policies in a fossil fuel producing country. Demand versus supply side policies

      In absence of joint global action, many jurisdictions take unilateral steps to reduce carbon emissions, and the usual strategy is to restrict domestic demand for fossil fuels. The impact on global emissions of such demand ...

    • Closing the gender gap in pensions. A microsimulation analysis of the Norwegian NDC pension system 

      Halvorsen, Elin; Pedersen, Axel West (Discussion Papers;No. 855, Working paper, 2017-02-20)

    • CO2-emissions from Norwegian oil and gas extraction 

      Gavenas, Ekaterina; Rosendahl, Knut Einar; Skjerpen, Terje (Discussion papers;806, Working paper, 2015-04)
      Emissions from oil and gas extraction matter for the lifecycle emissions of fossil fuels, and account for significant shares of domestic emissions in many fossil fuel exporting countries. In this study we investigate ...

    • Coal cleaning: A viable strategy for reduced carbon emissions and improved environment in China? 

      Glomsrød, Solveig; Taoyuan, Wei (Discussion Papers;No. 356, Working paper, 2003)
      Abstract: China is a dominant energy consumer in a global context and current energy forecasts emphasise that China’s future energy consumption also will rely heavily on coal. The coal use is the major source of the ...

    • Coalitions and Side Payments in International CO2 Treaties 

      Kverndokk, Snorre (Discussion Paper;No. 97, Working paper, 1993-07)
      Most numerical studies analysing the costs and benefits of international CO2 emissions abatement assume full cooperation by all countries and regions in the world. Based on the experience from the 1992 Rio conference on ...

    • College as a Marriage Market 

      Kirkebøen, Lars Johannessen; Leuven, Edwin; Mogstad, Magne (Discussion Paper;No. 950, Working paper, 2021-04)
      Recent descriptive work suggests the type of college education (field or institution) is an important but neglected pathway through which individuals sort into homogeneous marriages. These descriptive studies raise the ...

    • Collusive tax evasion by employers and employees. Evidence from a randomized field experiment in Norway 

      Bjørneby, Marie; Alstadsæter, Annette; Telle, Kjetil (Discussion Paper;No. 891, Working paper, 2018-12-27)
      Third-party reporting and employers’ tax withholding are powerful compliance mechanisms, as long as the employer and employee do not collude to evade. Using data from randomly assigned on-site audits among 2,462 Norwegian ...

    • Combining CGE and microsimulation models: Effects on equality of VAT reforms 

      Åvitsland, Turid; Aasness, Jørgen (Discussion Papers;No. 392, Working paper, 2004)
      Abstract: The effects on the degree of equality of reforms in indirect taxation are analysed by using a microsimulation model of the Norwegian economy subsequent to a CGE model. The two main reforms studied are substitution ...

    • Commodity tax competition – purchases of spirits in the Scandinavian countries 

      Nygård, Odd Erik (Discussion Papers;592, Working paper, 2009)
      A simulation model consisting of a representative consumer for each Scandinavian country is constructed and calibrated, in which consumers consume two goods: spirits and 'other goods'. Spirits is exposed to cross-border ...

    • Comparing mothers’ and fathers’ reports on the non-resident father’s contact with his children 

      Kitterød, Ragni Hege; Lyngstad, Jan (Discussion papers;744, Working paper, 2013-05)
