A Bellman approach to periodic optimization problems
(Discussion paper;19/16, Working paper, 2016-11-30)We consider an infinite horizon optimization problem with arbitrary but finite periodicity in discrete time. The problem can be formulated as a fix-point problem for a contraction operator, and we provide a solution scheme ... -

A bridge between continuous and discrete-time bioeconomic models: Seasonality in fisheries
(Discussion paper;20/16, Working paper, 2016-11-30)We develop a discretization method for continuous-time bioeconomic models. Based on this method, we develop a discrete-time bioeconomic model to analyze seasonality in fisheries. The discretization method consists of three ... -
A bridge between continuous and discrete-time bioeconomic models: Seasonality in fisheries
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)We develop a discretization method to construct a discrete finite-time bioeconomic model, corresponding to bioeconomic models with continuous-time growth function, but allowing the analysis of seasonality in fisheries. The ... -
A carbon footprint proportional to expenditure : a case for Norway?
(Discussion paper;16/14, Working paper, 2014-04)Assuming that emissions originate from the consumption of goods and services, we study the relationship between consumption-based per capita carbon footprint and per capita expenditure for Norway, using 2007 data. A ... -
