    • An exact additive decomposition of the weighted arithmetic mean* 

      Brasch, Thomas von; Grini, Knut Håkon; Johnsen, Magnus Berglund; Vigtel, Trond Christian (Discussion Paper;No. 944, Working paper, 2021-09)
      The weighted arithmetic mean is used in a wide variety of applications. An infinite number of possible decompositions of the weighted mean are available, and it is therefore an open question which of the possible decompositions ...
    • Exact and inexact decompositions of international price indices 

      Boug, Pål (Discussion Papers;No. 868, Working paper, 2017-10-09)
      Decompositions of international price indices are usually inexact in the sense that the underlying aggregator formula is not exactly reproduced. In this paper, we compare analytically the exact and inexact decompositions ...
    • Exact and inexact decompositions of trade price indices 

      Benedictow, Andreas; Boug, Pål (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)

      Boug, Pål; Cappelen, Ådne; Eika, Torbjørn (Discussion Papers;No. 429, Working paper, 2005)
      Abstract: Several small open economies switched to inflation targeting during the 1990s, thereby giving up various forms of exchange rate targeting in favour of flexible exchange rates. Norway did the same early in 2001, ...
    • Exchange rate volatility and export performance : a cointegrated VAR approach 

      Boug, Pål; Fagereng, Andreas (Discussion Papers;No. 522, Working paper, 2007)
      Abstract: During the last decades Norwegian exporters have ƒ{ despite various forms of exchange rate targeting ƒ{ faced a rather volatile exchange rate which may have influenced their behaviour. Recently, the shift to ...
    • Exit dynamics of start-up firms. Does profit matter? 

      Golombek, Rolf; Raknerud, Arvid (Discussion papers;706, Working paper, 2012-10)
      While little attention has been paid to the role of profitability in the empirical literature on firm exit, we employ a detailed recently established database of Norwegian manufacturing firms to identify the extent to which ...
    • Exit dynamics with adjustment costs 

      Golombek, Rolf; Raknerud, Arvid (Discussion Papers;No. 442, Working paper, 2005)
      Abstract: We use the Stock and Wise approximation of stochastic dynamic programming in order to identify the extent to which profitability can explain exit behavior. In our econometric model, heterogeneous firms engage ...
    • Exit dynamics with rational expectations 

      Raknerud, Arvid; Golombek, Rolf (Discussion Papers;No. 291, Working paper, 2000)
      Abstract: We develop an econometric model for firm exit, using stochastic dynamic programming (SDP) as a starting point. According to SDP, the value of an operating firm can be written as the sum of (i) the net present ...
    • Expectations in export price formation tests using cointegrated VAR models 

      Boug, Pål; Cappelen, Ådne; Swensen, Anders Rygh (Discussion Papers;No. 283, Working paper, 2000)
      The formation of export prices is an area in which the linear quadratic adjustment cost (LQAC) model under rational expectations may be relevant in practice. This paper evaluates the empirical performance of the LQAC-model ...
    • Expectations, substitution, and scrapping in a putty clay model 

      Frenger, Petter; Biørn, Erik (Discussion Papers;No. 17, Working paper, 1986-08-15)
      The paper presents a putty-clay framework for analyzing the effect of changing expectations about future prices on a firm's choice of technique, and on its anticipated scrapping of capital equipment. Particular attention ...
    • Expected service lives and depreciation profiles for capital assets. Evidence based on a survey of Norwegian firms 

      Barth, Nini; Cappelen, Ådne; Skjerpen, Terje; Todsen, Steinar; Åbyholm, Thom (Discussion Papers;No. 840, Working paper, 2016-05-12)
      In the Norwegian national accounts, as in many other countries, it is quite common to use information on depreciation rates and profiles based on studies from the US, Canada and the Netherlands due to a lack of national ...
    • Experience and schooling : substitutes or complements? 

      Hægeland, Torbjørn (Discussion Papers;No. 301, Working paper, 2001)
      Abstract: This paper investigates whether returns to experience and seniority vary between workers with different levels of education and between different types of firms. Using a large administrative dataset for Norwegian ...
    • Explaining experience curves for LNG liquefaction costs: Competition matter more than learning 

      Greaker, Mads; Sagen, Eirik Lund (Discussion Papers;No. 393, Working paper, 2004)
      Abstract: In this paper we seek to identify different driving forces behind the fall in LNG liquefaction unit costs. Our focus is on organizational learning including process specific R&D, but we also seek to account for ...
    • Explaining residential clustering of fertility 

      Bergsvik, Janna; Cools, Sara; Hart, Rannveig Kaldager (Discussion Paper;No. 939, Working paper, 2020-10)
      Numerous studies have shown that fertility behavior is spatially clustered. In addition to pure context effects, two causal mechanisms could drive this pattern. First, neighbors may influence each other’s fertility behavior, ...

      Bergsvik, Janna; Cools, Sara; Hart, Rannveig Kaldager (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Numerous studies have shown that fertility behavior is spatially clustered. In addition to pure contextual effects, two causal mechanisms could drive this pattern. First, neighbors may influence each other's fertility and ...
    • Explaining the change in skill structure of labour demand in Norwegian manufacturing 

      Lindquist, Kjersti-Gro; Skjerpen, Terje (Discussion Papers;No. 293, Working paper, 2000)
      Abstract: In most OECD-countries, labour demand has shifted from unskilled to skilled over time. Many analyses of this phenomenon focus on either the effect of technical change, capital-skill complementarity or labour-labour ...
