    • Capacity utilization in a generalized Malmquist index including environmental factors : a decompostion analysis 

      Bye, Torstein; Bruvoll, Annegrete; Larsson, Jan (Discussion Papers;No. 473, Working paper, 2006)
      Abstract: Productivity measures ignoring environmental effects may give misleading information on total productivity growth. Further, business cycles in the form of capacity utilization may also significantly influence ...

    • Factoring the environmental Kuznets curve evidence from Norway 

      Bruvoll, Annegrete; Medin, Hege (Discussion Papers;No. 275, Working paper, 2000)
      The environmental Kuznets curve theory suggests that economic growth may reduce environmental problems. In this article, we analyze the changes in environmentally damaging emissions to air in Norway from 1980 to 1996. In ...

    • Future waste generation : forecasts based on a macroeconomic model 

      Bruvoll, Annegrete; Ibenholt, Karin (Discussion Papers;No. 175, Working paper, 1996)
      Generation of solid waste is closely associated with the use of tangible factor inputs and production levels in the economy. In this paper, we present projections of waste generated in the Norwegian manufacturing industry ...

    • Greenhouse gas emissions in Norway : do carbon taxes work? 

      Bruvoll, Annegrete; Larsen, Bodil Merethe (Discussion Papers;No. 337, Working paper, 2002)
      Abstract: During the last decade, Norway has carried out an ambitious climate policy. The main policy tool is a relatively high carbon tax, which was implemented already in 1991. Data for the development in CO2 emissions ...

    • Multiple instruments to change energy behaviour : the emperor's new clothes 

      Bye, Torstein; Bruvoll, Annegrete (Discussion Papers;No. 549, Working paper, 2008)
      Abstract: Over the last few decades, several instruments have evolved to deal with similar energy and environmental challenges. For instance, the economic literature prescribes separate tax or cap-and-trade systems to ...

    • On the measurement of environmental taxes 

      Bruvoll, Annegrete (Discussion Papers;599, Working paper, 2009)
      The purpose of environmental taxes is to correct the market when it fails to take environmental damages into account, i.e. to internalize the Pigouvian element. In addition, fiscal taxes are levied on both polluting and ...

    • On the value of households' recycling efforts 

      Bruvoll, Annegrete; Nyborg, Karine (Discussion Papers;No. 316, Working paper, 2002)
      Abstract: Do households' recycling efforts represent a social cost, which should be taken into account in cost-benefit analyses of alternative waste treatment systems? Some argue that it should not, since recycling efforts ...

    • Political motives in climate and energy policy 

      Bruvoll, Annegrete; Dalen, Hanne Marit; Larsen, Bodil Merethe (Discussion papers;721, Working paper, 2012-12)
      Standard economic theory provides clear guidance on the design of cost-efficient policy in the presence of imperfect markets and externalities. However, observed policies reveal extensive discrepancies between principles ...

    • Quantifying central hypotheses on Environmental Kuznets Curves for a rich economy : a computable general equilibrium study 

      Bruvoll, Annegrete; Fæhn, Taran; Strøm, Birger (Discussion Papers;No. 341, Working paper, 2003)
      Abstract: We investigate whether the future relationships between several pollutants and per capita income in rich countries may assume the inverted U-forms of Environmental Kuznets Curves (EKC). The emission-augmenting ...

    • Richer and cleaner - at others' expense? 

      Fæhn, Taran; Bruvoll, Annegrete (Discussion Papers;No. 477, Working paper, 2006)
      Abstract: Pollution intensive production can be avoided domestically by increased imports and less exports of dirty products. Such trade effects may imply more emissions abroad, or pollution leakages. We study whether ...

    • Technological changes in the pulp and paper industry and the role of uniform versus selective environmental policy 

      Bruvoll, Annegrete; Bye, Torstein; Larsson, Jan; Telle, Kjetil (Discussion Papers;No. 357, Working paper, 2003)
      Abstract: Although environmental regulations may imply a cost increase on firm's conventional input factors, such regulations could stimulate the incentives to improve factor productivity. Productivity measures including ...

    • The environmental drag on long-term economic performance. Evidence from Norway 

      Bruvoll, Annegrete; Glomsrød, Solveig; Vennemo, Haakon (Discussion papers;143, Working paper, 1995-05)
      The environmental drag is the cost to society of environmental constraints. This paper estimates the long-run environmental drag on the Norwegian economy. We employ a model called DREAM (dynamic resource / environmental ...

    • The importance of volatility in inflow in a deregulated hydro-dominated power market 

      Bye, Torstein; Bruvoll, Annegrete; Aune, Finn Roar (Discussion Papers;No. 472, Working paper, 2006)
      Abstract: In 2002/2003, the Nordic hydro-dominated power market faced a short-term supply shock. In autumn, precipitation and inflow were unusually low. As a result, there were record high prices in the following winter. ...

    • Transboundary environmental policy effects: Markets and emission leakages 

      Bruvoll, Annegrete; Fæhn, Taran (Discussion Papers;No. 384, Working paper, 2004)
      Abstract: According to the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) literature, several mechanisms within rich economies, including increased willingness to conduct abatement policies, contribute to reduce environmental problems. ...
