    • The marginal cost of public funds: A comment on the literature 

      Vennemo, Haakon (Discussion Paper;No. 63, Working paper, 1991-06)
      The paper derives formulas for the marginal cost of public funds in a general equilibrium model. The MCF depends on how expenditure is financed, and the paper goes through a wide range of possibilities. Special emphasis ...

    • An applied general equilibrium assessment of the marginal cost of public funds in Norway 

      Vennemo, Haakon (Discussion Paper;No. 62, Working paper, 1991-06)
      The purpose of this paper is to estimate the marginal cost of public funds (MCF) in Norway An econometrically specified large scale applied general equilibrium model of the Norwegian economy is employed to derive the ...

      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 ...

      Bowitz, Einar; Storm, Erik (Discussion Paper;No. 66, Working paper, 1991-10)
      A policy simulation on the Norwegian macroeceometric model MODAG indicates that there are large automatic stabilizers in the system of government revenues and expenditure in Norway, especially in the short and medium term. ...

    • MODAG: A Medium Term Macroeconometric Model of the Norwegian Economy 

      Cappelen, Ådne (Discussion Paper;No. 67, Working paper, 1991-11)
      This paper describes the main structure of the MODAG model, an annual macroeconometric model of the Norwegian economy. A short description of the main features of the model including forcasting performance is followed by ...

    • Benefits of climate policies: Some tentative calculations 

      Alfsen, Knut H.; Brendemoen, Anne; Glomsrød, Solveig (Discussion Paper;No. 69, Working paper, 1992-03)
      Consequences for the Norwegian economy of an active policy against anthropogenic climate change can be analyzed by use of an economic model evaluating the differences between a reference scenario without control policies ...

    • Modelling consumers' energy demand 

      Bye, Brita (Discussion Paper;No. 68, Working paper, 1992-03)
      The modelling of consumers demand for energy in a general consumer demand system is discussed. Electricity, fuel-oil, the stock of electricity using durables and housing are assumed to be separable from other consumer ...

    • Environmental indicators 

      Alfsen, Knut H.; Brekke, Kjell Arne; Brunvoll, Frode; Lurås, Hilde; Nyborg, Karine; Sæbø, Hans Viggo (Discussion Paper;No. 71, Working paper, 1992-04)
      The report discusses possible logical structures and content of a set of environmental indicators for Norway. The emphasis is on structure; proposals for specific indicators and data presented are of a more preliminary nature.

    • THE STRUCTURE OF ECONOMIC INEQUALITY AMONG HOUSEHOLDS LIVING IN URBAN SICHUAN AND LIAONING, 1990 

      Aaberge, Rolf; Chen, Xiaojie; Li, Jing; Li, Xuezeng (Discussion Paper;No. 70, Working paper, 1992-04)
      This paper presents the results from a descriptive analysis of economic inequality among households living in urban regions of two Chinese provinces, Sichuan and Liaoning, in 1990. The results refer to distributions of ...

    • Dynamic equilibrium adjustments to a terms of trade disturbance 

      Bye, Brita; Holmøy, Erling (Discussion Paper;No. 72, Working paper, 1992-05)
      This paper investigates how a fall in the price of imports will have dynamic effects in an open economy. We analyse the effects within an aggregated intertemporal equilibrium model with internationally mobile capital. We ...
