    • International emissions trading in a noncooperative climate policy game 

      Holtsmark, Bjart; Sommervoll, Dag Einar (Discussion papers;693, Working paper, 2012-06)

      Bjørnstad, Jan F.; Sommervoll, Dag Einar (Discussion Papers;No. 297, Working paper, 2001)
      Abstract: This paper studies modeling of nonignorable nonresponse in panel surveys. A class of sequential conditional logistic models for nonresponse is considered. Model-based maximum likelihood estimation and imputation ...
