    • A bridge between continuous and discrete-time bioeconomic models: Seasonality in fisheries 

      Kvamsdal, Sturla F; Maroto, Jose M.; Moran, Manuel; Sandal, Leif Kristoffer (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 critical discussion of Hofstede’s concept of Power Distance 

      Ly, Annelise (Journal article, 2013)
      The aim of the paper is to critically describe and discuss the concept of power distance developed by Hofstede. It is divided into two parts: the first one focuses on the definition and discusses its extent and its ...

      Mustafa, Ghulam; Lines, Rune (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      Previous research on cross-cultural leadership has examined the effects of leadership-society congruence without explaining how positive outcomes might result when there is a fit between leadership and societal culture, ...

      Draouil, Olfa; Øksendal, Bernt (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      We study optimal insider control problems, i.e. optimal control problems of stochastic systems where the controller at any time t, in addition to knowledge about the history of the system up to this time, also has ...
    • A flying start? Maternity leave benefits and long-run outcomes of children 

      Carneiro, Pedro; Løken, Katrine Vellesen; Salvanes, Kjell Gunnar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)
      We study a change in maternity leave entitlements in Norway. Mothers giving birth before July 1, 1977, were eligible for 12 weeks of unpaid leave, while those giving birth after that date were entitled to 4 months of paid ...
    • A gentle tutorial on accelerated parameter and confidence interval estimation for hidden Markov models using Template Model Builder 

      Bacri, Timothee Raphael Ferdinand; Berentsen, Geir Drage; Bulla, Jan; Hølleland, Sondre Nedreås (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      A very common way to estimate the parameters of a hidden Markov model (HMM) is the relatively straightforward computation of maximum likelihood (ML) estimates. For this task, most users rely on user-friendly implementation ...
    • A Governance Model for Managing Lightweight IT 

      Bygstad, Bendik; Iden, Jon (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)
    • A Likelihood Ratio and Markov Chain Based Method to Evaluate Density Forecasting 

      Li, Yushu; Andersson, Lars Jonas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      In this paper, we propose a likelihood ratio based method to evaluate density forecasts which can jointly evaluate the unconditional forecasted distribution and dependence of the outcomes. Unlike the well‐known Berkowitz ...
    • A long term view on the short term co-movement of output and prices in a small open economy 

      Grytten, Ola Honningdal; Hunnes, Arngrim (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012-02)
      One assumption behind inflation targeting as objective for monetary policy is that inflation rates in the short run to some extent reflect output cycles. The present paper investigates the historical co-movements of output ...

      Grytten, Ola Honningdal; Hunnes, Arngrim (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012-02)
      One assumption behind inflation targeting as objective for monetary policy is that inflation rates in the short run to some extent reflect output cycles. The present paper investigates the historical co-movements of output ...
    • A Malliavin-Skorohod calculus in L^0 and L^1 for additive and Volterra-type processes 

      Di Nunno, Giulia; Vives, Josep (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)
      In this paper we develop a Malliavin–Skorohod type calculus for additive processes in the L1 and L1 settings, extending the probabilistic interpretation of the Malliavin–Skorohod operators to this context. We prove calculus ...
    • A maximum entropy approach to the newsvendor problem with partial information 

      Andersson, Jonas; Jörnsten, Kurt; Nonås, Sigrid Lise; Sandal, Leif Kristoffer; Ubøe, Jan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      In this paper, we consider the newsvendor model under partial information, i.e., where the demand distribution D is partly unknown. We focus on the classical case where the retailer only knows the expectation and variance ...
    • A Maximum Principle Approach to Risk Indifference Pricing with Partial Information 

      An, Ta Thi Kieu; Øksendal, Bernt; Proske, Frank (Journal article, 2008)
      We consider the problem of risk indifference pricing on an incomplete market, namely on a jump diffusion market where the controller has limited access to market information. We use the maximum principle for stochastic ...
    • A Maximum Principle for Mean-Field SDEs with Time Change 

      Di Nunno, Giulia; Haferkorn, Hannes Hagen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Time change is a powerful technique for generating noises and providing flexible models. In the framework of time changed Brownian and Poisson random measures we study the existence and uniqueness of a solution to a ...
    • A multi-country test of brief reappraisal interventions on emotions during the COVID-19 pandemic 

      Wang, Ke; Kunst, Jonas R.; Tamnes, Christian Krog; Schei, Vidar; Sverdrup, Therese E.; Askelund, Adrian Dahl; Pfuhl, Gerit; Klevjer, Kristoffer; Korbmacher, Max; Bundt, Carsten; Goldberg, Amit; Dorison, Charles A.; Miller, Jeremy K.; Uusberg, Andero; Lerner, Jennifer; Gross, James J; Agesin, Bamikole Bamikole; Bernardo, Marcia; Campos, Olatz; Eudave, Luis; Grzech, Karolina; Ozery, Daphna Hausman; Garcia, Elkin Oswaldo Luis; Jackson, Emily A.; Drexler, Shira Meir; Jurkovic, Anita Penic; Rana, Kafeel; Wilson, John Paul; Antoniadi, Maria; Desai, Kermeka; Gialitaki, Zoi; Kushnir, Elizaveta; Nadif, Khaoula; Bravo, Olalla Nino; Nauman, Rafia; Oosterlinck, Marlies; Pantazi, Myrto; Pilecka, Natalia; Szabelska, Anna; van Steenkiste, I.M.M.; Filip, Katarzyna; Bozdoc, Andrea Ioana; Marcu, Gabriela Mariana; Agadullina, Elena; Adamkovic, Matus; Roczinewska, Marta; Reyana, Cecilia; Kassianos, Angelos P.; Westerlund, Minja; Ahlgren, Lina; Pöntinen, Sara (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
