      Abstract: It is sometimes claimed that individuals’ contributions to public goods are not motivated by economic costs and benefits alone, but that people also have a moral or norm-based motivation. A number of studies ...

    • Does the clean development mechanism have a viable future? 

      Hagem, Cathrine; Holtsmark, Bjart (Discussion Papers;577, Working paper, 2009)
      The developed countries can meet part of their Kyoto commitments by investing in emission-reducing projects in developing countries (the Clean Development Mechanism, CDM). Since the developing countries have so far not ...

    • Does the CPI mirror costs-of-living? Engel's law suggests not in Norway 

      Larsen, Erling Røed (Discussion Papers;No. 368, Working paper, 2004)
      There is considerable interest in identifying the magnitude of the difference between increases in CPI and costs-of-living, and this article uses the technique proposed by Hamilton (2001) to measure this discrepancy for ...

    • Does the housing market react to new information on school quality? 

      Fiva, Jon Hernes; Kirkebøen, Lars Johannessen (Discussion Papers;No. 541, Working paper, 2008)
