Childhood residential mobility and adult outcomes
(Discussion papers;750, Working paper, 2013-09)This study analyses the relation between moving during childhood and four different outcomes later in life. We use detailed data on complete cohorts born in Norway between 1965 and 1980 (N=967 151), their parents and ... -
Children as family commuters. The geographical distance between nonresident parents and children in Norway
(Discussion Papers;No. 841, Working paper, 2016-06-07)As union dissolution rates increase in most modern societies, a growing number of children are living in post-separation families. The geographical distance between parental households shapes the possibilities for contact ... -
Choice among lotteries when preferences are stochastic
(Discussion Papers;No. 221, Working paper, 1998)Abstract: This paper discusses the problem of specifying probabilistic models for choices (strategies) with uncertain outcomes. The point of departure is an extension of the axiom system of the von Neumann-Morgenstern ... -
The choice of space heating system and energy consumption in Norwegian household
(Discussion Paper;No. 102, Working paper, 1993-12)The procurement of space heating equipment is modelled jointly with the intensity of use. Annualized capital cost ("user cost of capital") is found to have a significant impact on the procurement decision. This impact ... -
Choice probabilities and equilibrium conditions in a matching market with flexible contracts
(Discussion Paper;No. 94, Working paper, 1993-08)The purpose of the paper is to develop discrete and continuous probabilistic choice models for a matching market of heterogeneous suppliers and demanders. The point of departure is similar to that of Tinbergen (1956) which ... -
Choice under uncertainty and bounded rationality
(Discussion Papers;No. 409, Working paper, 2005)Abstract: This paper develops a theory for probabilistic models for risky choices that can be viewed as an extension of the expected utility theory to account for bounded rationality. One probabilistic version of the ... -
Choosing measures of inequality for empirical applications
(Discussion Papers;No. 158, Working paper, 1995)This paper is concerned with the distribution of income and the problem of choosing summary measures of inequality for empirical applications. By introducing a simple transformation of the Lorenz curve one is led to three ... -
Churning in thick labor markets. Evidence of heterogeneous responses along the skill and experience gradients
(Discussion Papers;No. 866, Working paper, 2017-10-18) -
Classical identification : a viable road for data to inform structural modeling
(Discussion Papers;No. 562, Working paper, 2008)Abstract: This paper addresses how to enhance the role of data in structural model design by utilizing structural breaks and superfluous information as auxiliary tools of exact identification. To illustrate the procedure ... -
Classroom grade composition and pupil achievement
(Discussion papers;722, Working paper, 2012-12)This paper exploits discontinuous grade mixing rules in Norwegian junior high schools to estimate how classroom grade composition affects pupil achievement. Pupils in mixed grade classrooms are found to outperform pupils ... -
Climate change - lower electricity prices and increasing demand. An application to the Nordic Countries
(Discussion Papers;No. 430, Working paper, 2005)Abstract: Concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere influences the climate, which then alters the amount of primary energy for countries or regions where hydropower and wind power constitute important parts ... -
Climate change and the future Nordic electricity market - Supply, demand, trade and transmission
(Rapporter;2005/24, Report, 2005-10-05)The aim of this study has been to analyze the effects of climate changes on the Nordic electricity market. Concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere influences the climate, which then alter the amount of primary ... -
A climate convention and the Norwegian economy: A CGE assessment
(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 ... -
Climate policies in a fossil fuel producing country. Demand versus supply side policies
(Discussion papers;747, Working paper, 2013-06)In absence of joint global action, many jurisdictions take unilateral steps to reduce carbon emissions, and the usual strategy is to restrict domestic demand for fossil fuels. The impact on global emissions of such demand ... -
The climate spiral demonstrates the power of sharing creative ideas
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-06)Graphical visualisations have the potential to engage diverse audiences in understanding the changes to our climate, especially when spread worldwide using both traditional and social media. The animated global temperature ... -
Closing the gender gap in pensions. A microsimulation analysis of the Norwegian NDC pension system
(Discussion Papers;No. 855, Working paper, 2017-02-20)In this paper we use an advanced micro-simulation model to study the distributional effects of the reformed Norwegian pension system with a particular focus on gender equality. he reformed Norwegian system is based on ... -
CO2-emissions from Norwegian oil and gas extraction
(Discussion papers;806, Working paper, 2015-04)Emissions from oil and gas extraction matter for the lifecycle emissions of fossil fuels, and account for significant shares of domestic emissions in many fossil fuel exporting countries. In this study we investigate ... -
Coal cleaning: A viable strategy for reduced carbon emissions and improved environment in China?
(Discussion Papers;No. 356, Working paper, 2003)Abstract: China is a dominant energy consumer in a global context and current energy forecasts emphasise that China’s future energy consumption also will rely heavily on coal. The coal use is the major source of the ... -
Coalitions and Side Payments in International CO2 Treaties
(Discussion Paper;No. 97, Working paper, 1993-07)Most numerical studies analysing the costs and benefits of international CO2 emissions abatement assume full cooperation by all countries and regions in the world. Based on the experience from the 1992 Rio conference on ... -
