    • Aggregation with price variation and heterogeneity across consumers 

      Halvorsen, Bente; Larsen, Bodil Merethe (Discussion Papers;No. 489, Working paper, 2006)
      Abstract: In the aggregation literature, prices and price and income derivatives are often assumed not to vary across consumers. These assumptions may not be fulfilled: prices often vary and consumers are heterogeneous ...

    • Changes in the pattern of household electricity demand over time 

      Halvorsen, Bente; Larsen, Bodil Merethe (Discussion Papers;No. 255, Working paper, 1999)
      Empirical estimates of long run effects on residential electricity demand from changes in the electricity price are usually estimated by cross-sectional variation in the current stock of electric household appliances across ...

    • 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 ...

    • How do investments in heat pumps affect household energy consumption? 

      Halvorsen, Bente; Larsen, Bodil Merethe (Discussion papers;737, Working paper, 2013-04)
      Increased energy efficiency is often seen as the best way of reducing energy consumption. However, the cost reduction resulting from the efficiency increase can undermine the energy-saving potential of the efficiency ...

    • How to quantify household electricity end-use consumption 

      Larsen, Bodil Merethe; Nesbakken, Runa (Discussion Papers;No. 346, Working paper, 2003)
      Abstract: Information about total electricity consumption is available for most households. However, the electricity consumption related to different end uses, e.g. space heating, water heating, lighting and services from ...

    • 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 ...

    • Possibility for hedging from price increases in residential energy demand 

      Halvorsen, Bente; Larsen, Bodil Merethe; Nesbakken, Runa (Discussion Papers;No. 347, Working paper, 2003)
      Abstract: Liberalisation of the Norwegian electricity market has given more short-term variation in the electricity price. Since almost three quarters of Norwegian households have heating equipment using more than one ...

    • Residential end-use electricity demand. Development over time 

      Dalen, Hanne Marit; Larsen, Bodil Merethe (Discussion papers;736, Working paper, 2013-04)
      It is costly and difficult to meter electricity consumption for different end uses, e.g. space heating, lighting and household appliances. We deduce a model for using cross-sectional data for total annual electricity ...

    • The role of heterogeneous demand for temporal and structural aggregation bias 

      Halvorsen, Bente; Larsen, Bodil Merethe (Discussion Papers;No. 537, Working paper, 2008)
      Abstract: Differences in estimated parameters depending on the frequency of aggregate data have been reported in several fields of economic research. Some differences are due to seasonal variations in demand, but temporal ...
