    • Optimal combinations of income tax and subsidies for education 

      Bjertnæs, Geir Haakon (Discussion Papers;No. 313, Working paper, 2001)
      Abstract: Nielsen and Sørensen (1997) find that progressive taxation of labour income is optimal when capital income is taxed. This paper shows that their main result still holds when introducing endogenous choice of ...

    • Optimal control and the Fibonacci sequence 

      Brasch, Thomas von; Byström, Johan; Lystad, Lars Petter (Discussion Papers;674, Working paper, 2012)
      We bridge mathematical number theory with that of optimal control and show that a generalised Fibonacci sequence enters the control function of finite horizon dynamic optimisation problems with one state and one control ...

    • Optimal harvest age considering multiple carbon pools - a comment 

      Holtsmark, Bjart; Hoel, Michael; Holtsmark, Katinka (Discussion papers;704, Working paper, 2012-09)
      In two recent papers, Asante and Armstrong (2012) and Asante et al. (2011) considered the question of optimal harvest ages. They found that the larger are the initial pools of dead organic matter (DOM) and wood products, ...

    • Optimal indirect taxation and the uniformity debate: A review of theoretical results and empirical contributions 

      Nygård, Odd Erik; Revesz, John T. (Discussion papers;809, Working paper, 2015-05)
      A review of the theoretical literature on optimal indirect taxation reveals that analytical arguments in favor of uniform indirect taxation seem weak and rather unrealistic; hence determining the optimal tax structure ...

    • Optimal location of renewable power 

      Bjørnebye, Henrik; Hagem, Cathrine; Lind, Arne (Discussion Papers;No. 862, Working paper, 2017-06-17)
      A decarbonization of the energy sector calls for large new investments in renewable energy production. When choosing the location for increased production capacity, the producer has typically limited incentives to take ...

    • Optimal oil exploration under climate treaties 

      Berg, Elin; Kverndokk, Snorre; Rosendahl, Knut Einar (Discussion Papers;No. 245, Working paper, 1999)
      In this paper we focus on how an international climate treaty will influence the exploration of oil in Non-OPEC countries. We present a numerical intertemporal global equilibrium model for the fossil fuel markets. The ...

    • Optimal sequencing of hydroelectric and thermal power generation under energy price uncertainty and demand fluctuations 

      Aslaksen, Iulie; Bjerkholt, Olav; Brekke, Kjell Arne (Discussion Paper;No. 39, Working paper, 1988-10)
      The choice between hydro and thermal power in electricity supply is analyzed under stochastic demand and stochastic fuel cost. The first formulation gives rise to an optimal stopping problem, where the investment in hydro ...

    • Optimal Starting and Stopping Rules for Resource Depletion when Price is Exogenous and Stochastic 

      Bjerkholt, Olav; Brekke, Kjell Arne (Discussion Paper;No. 40, Working paper, 1988-12)
      Optimal developement of exhaustible natural resources is analyzed under the assumption that oil prices follows a geometrical browninan motion: Under specific assumption on cost structure closed form soltions for the ...

    • Optimal taxation in applied general equilibrium models adopting the Armington assumption 

      Vennemo, Haakon (Discussion Paper;No. 55, Working paper, 1990-12)
      The paper derives formulas for optimal taxation in a stylized Applied General Equilibrium (AGE) model, and shows their potential empirical significance. Because of the Armington-assumption for exports and imports, the ...

    • Optimal timing of environmental policy. Interaction between environmental taxes and innovation externalities 

      Gerlagh, Reyer; Kverndokk, Snorre; Rosendahl, Knut Einar (Discussion Papers;No. 493, Working paper, 2007)
      Abstract: This paper addresses the impact of endogenous technology through research and development (R&D) and learning by doing (LbD) on the timing of environmental policy. We develop two models, the first with technological ...

    • Origin and residential influences on the first partnership choices of the children of immigrants in Norway 

      Wiik, Kenneth Aarskaug; Holland, Jennifer A. (Discussion Paper;No. 968, Working paper, 2021-11)
      Using Norwegian register data on migrant-background individuals born 1985 to 2001 who were either native born or who immigrated as children or teens, in combination with data from the World Marriage Database, we investigate ...

    • Output-based allocation and investment in clean technologies 

      Rosendahl, Knut Einar; Storrøsten, Halvor Briseid (Discussion Papers;644, Working paper, 2011)
      Allocation of emission allowances may affect firms' incentives to invest in clean technologies. In this paper we show that so-called output-based allocation tends to stimulate such investments as long as individual firms ...

    • Output-based rebating of carbon taxes in the neighbor’s backyard. Competitiveness, leakage and welfare 

      Böhringer, Christoph; Bye, Brita; Fæhn, Taran; Rosendahl, Knut Einar (Discussion papers;783, Working paper, 2014-06)
      We investigate how carbon taxes combined with output-based rebating (OBR) in an open economy perform in interaction with the carbon policies of a large neighboring trading partner. Analytical results suggest that whether ...

    • Pandemic babies? Fertility in the aftermath of the first COVID-19 wave across European regions 

      Nitsche, Natalie; Jasilioniene, Aiva; Nisén, Jessica; Li, Peng; Kniffka, Maxi S.; Schöley, Jonas; Andersson, Gunnar; Bagavos, Christos; Berrington, Ann; Čipin, Ivan; Clemente, Susana; Dommermuth, Lars; Fallesen, Peter; Galdauskaite, Dovile; Jemna, Dănuţ-Vasile; Lerch, Mathias; McDonnell, Cadhla; Muller, Arno; Neels, Karel; Pötzsch, Olga; Ramiro, Diego; Riederer, Bernhard; te Riele, Saskia; Szabó, Laura; Toulemon, Laurten; Vignoli, Daniele; Zeman, Kryštof; Žnidaršič, Tina (Working paper, 2022)
      Early evidence demonstrates that the fertility response to the COVID-19 pandemic has varied across European countries. Yet, prior research indicates that fertility responses to disasters are often localized sub-nationally. ...

    • Panel data with errors-in-variables : a note on essential and redundant orthogonality conditions in GMM-estimation 

      Biørn, Erik; Klette, Tor Jakob (Discussion Papers;No. 190, Working paper, 1997)
      General Method of Moments (GMM) estimation of a linear one-equation model using panel data with errors-in-variables is considered. To eliminate fixed individual heterogeneity, the equation is differenced across one or more ...

    • Parametric aggregation of random coefficient Cobb-Douglasproduction functions : evidence from manufacturing industries 

      Biørn, Erik; Skjerpen, Terje; Wangen, Knut Reidar (Discussion Papers;No. 342, Working paper, 2003)
