    • Pareto-efficient climate agreements 

      Asheim, Geir B.; Holtsmark, Bjart (Discussion Papers;No. 505, Working paper, 2007)
      Abstract: Recent contributions show that climate agreements with broad participation can be implemented as weakly renegotiation-proof equilibria in simple models of greenhouse gas abatement where each country has a binary ...

    • Part-time work, underemployment and gender : worker versus job explanations

      The article analyses part-time work, both so-called voluntary and involuntary, in a gender perspective and discusses under what conditions women and men work part-time. The discussion is based on logistic regression models, ...

    • Partner choice and timing of first marriage among children of immigrants in Norway and Sweden 

      Wiik, Kenneth Aarskaug; Holland, Jennifer A. (Discussion papers;810, Working paper, 2015-06)
      Using register data from Norway and Sweden, this study addresses the relationship between partner choice and the timing of first marriage among all migrant- and non-migrant-background individuals born between 1972 and 1989, ...

    • Pennies from heaven. Using exogenous tax variation to identify effects of school resources on pupil achievement 

      Hægeland, Torbjørn; Raaum, Oddbjørn; Salvanes, Kjell G. (Discussion Papers;No. 508, Working paper, 2007)
      Abstract: Despite important policy implications associated with the allocation of education resources, evidence on the effectiveness of school inputs remains inconclusive. In part, this is due to endogenous allocation; ...

      Stensnes, Kyrre; Stølen, Nils Martin (Discussion Papers;No. 524, Working paper, 2007)
      Abstract: A much higher old-age dependency ratio, together with more generous pension benefits, will lead to a substantial increase in the future public pension expenditures burden in Norway. A pension reform implemented ...

    • Performance pay and within-firm wage inequality 

      Barth, Erling; Bratsberg, Bernt; Hægeland, Torbjørn; Raaum, Oddbjørn (Discussion Papers;No. 535, Working paper, 2008)
      Abstract: This paper examines the impact of performance-related pay on wage differentials within firms. Our theoretical framework predicts that, compared to a fixed pay system, pay schemes based on individual effort ...

    • Phasing out coal and phasing in renewables – good or bad news for arctic gas producers? 

      Lindholt, Lars; Glomsrød, Solveig (Discussion Papers;No. 856, Working paper, 2017-03-01)
      This paper examines to what extent downscaling of global coal based electricity generation encourages gas demand and affects regional activity in gas production, with emphasis on the arctic regions. In our reference ...

    • Pick a number. Mapping recidivism measures and their consequences 

      Andersen, Synøve Nygaard; Skarðhamar, Torbjørn (Discussion papers;772, Working paper, 2014-03)
      Recidivism studies differ with respect to samples, definitions and follow-up periods. While it is recognized that such differences hamper comparability, there is little systematic knowledge about how recidivism figures are ...
