Business cycles and fiscal policy: Norway 1973-93
(Discussion papers;178, Working paper, 1996-08)Effects of fiscal policy on macroeconomic variables during 1973-93 are analysed using a disaggregated macroeconometric model of the Norwegian economy. Fiscal policy is measured as deviations from estimated trends for ... -
Calculating the real return of the Norwegian Government Pension Fund Global by alternative measures of the deflator
(Discussion papers;775, Working paper, 2014-04)According to the present guidelines for fiscal policy, the use of oil revenues in the Norwegian economy should over time equal the expected real return on the Government Pension Fund Global (GPFG). An important question ... -
Can a cash transfer to families change fertility behaviour?
(Discussion papers;800, Working paper, 2015-02)This paper assesses the relationship between cash transfers to families and subsequent childbearing. We take advantage of a cash-for-care (CFC) policy introduced in Norway in 1998, and compare the fertility behaviour of ... -
Can non-market regulations spur innovations in environmental technologies? A study on firm level patenting
(Discussion papers;754, Working paper, 2013-09)This paper provides new evidence on the role of non-market based (“command-and-control”) regulations in relation to innovations in environmental technologies. While pricing is generally considered the first-best policy ... -
Car Ownership and Private Car Use. A Microeconometric Analysis Based on Norwegian Data
(Discussion papers;113, Working paper, 1994-04)In this paper we analyze household's car ownership and private car use decisions in a model proposed by de Jong (1990). The model, which incorporates variable and fixed costs of car use, can be used to predict the effects ... -
Car ownership decisions in Norwegian Households
(Discussion papers;116, Working paper, 1994-05)In this paper, household's decisions regarding how many private cars to own are analyzed. The analysis is based on a particular multinominal logit type formulation that is consistent with a Stone-Geary utility function. ... -
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 ... -
Characteristics of parents with shared residence and father sole custody. Evidence from Norway 2012

Classroom grade composition and pupil achievement
(Discussion papers;722, Working paper, 2012-12)This paper exploits discontinuous grade mixing rules in Norwegian junior high schools to estimate how classroom grade composition affects pupil achievement. Pupils in mixed grade classrooms are found to outperform pupils ... -
Climate policies in a fossil fuel producing country. Demand versus supply side policies
(Discussion papers;747, Working paper, 2013-06)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 ... -
Comparing mothers’ and fathers’ reports on the non-resident father’s contact with his children
(Discussion papers;744, Working paper, 2013-05)Analyses of contact frequency between non-resident fathers and children are often based on samples of non-resident fathers or resident mothers only. It is well established that non-resident fathers tend to report more ... -
Consumer Demand in a General Equilibrium Model for Environmental Analysis
(Discussion papers;105, Working paper, 1993-12)The system of consumer demand functions for the 22 consumption goods in the general equilibrium model MSG-EE is presented. The consumer model has the following specific features. (i) It is based on a three level utility ... -
Correlated Measurement Errors, Bounds on Parameters, and a Model of Producer Behavior
(Discussion papers;112, Working paper, 1994-04)We examine estimation of a model of producer behavior in the presence of correlated measurement errors in the regressors. Scale economies and price-cost margins are estimated from a set of panel data for manufacturing ... -
Counterfactual Analyses of Oil Price Shocks using a World Model
(Discussion papers;177, Working paper, 1996-07)Oil price shocks have played a dominant role in the macroeconomic development of the world economy over the last twenty five years. In this paper a large, estimated, macro-economic world model with time varying trade ... -
Depletion of Fossil Fuels and the Impacts of Global Warming
(Discussion papers;107, Working paper, 1994-02)This paper combines the theory of optimal extraction of exhaustible resources with the theory of greenhouse externalities, to analyse problems of global warming when the supply side is considered. The optimal carbon tax ... -
