    • The Anatomy of electricity demand: A CGE decomposition for Norway 

      Holmøy, Erling (Discussion Papers;No. 426, Working paper, 2005)
      Abstract: The paper derives a general equilibrium demand function for electricity by imposing a specific closure rule on a large CGE-model of the Norwegian economy. By a decomposition technique it quantifies the ...

      Medin, Hege; Nyborg, Karine; Bateman, Ian (Discussion Papers;No. 241, Working paper, 1998)

    • The consumption Euler equation or the Keynesian consumption function? 

      Boug, Pål; Cappelen, Ådne; Jansen, Eilev S.; Swensen, Anders Rygh (Discussion papers;904, Working paper, 2019-04)
      We formulate a general cointegrated vector autoregressive (CVAR) model that nests both a class of consumption Euler equations and various Keynesian type consumption functions. Using likelihoodbased methods and Norwegian ...

    • The cost-of-living index with trade barriers. Theory and evidence 

      von Brasch, Thomas (Discussion papers;751, Working paper, 2013-09)
      The standard cost-of-living index hinges on the assumption that there is free trade. Applying it to situations where trade barriers are present yields biased results with respect to a true cost-of-living index. Import price ...

    • The demand for labour and the Lucas critique : evidence from Norwegian manufacturing 

      Ukjent forfatter (Discussion Papers;No. 256, Working paper, 1999)
      This paper uses neoclassical theory as a foundation for modelling labour demand in Norwegian manufacturing. Applying the Johansen (1988,1991) methodology, we obtain a single cointegrating vector between employment, production, ...

      This paper focuses on the measurement of progressivity and the distributional effect of the Norwegian tax reform of 1992. Progressivity is measured by the degree of disproportionality, which implies that the burden of taxes ...
