EU integration and outsiders : a simulation study of industrial location
(Discussion paper, Working paper, 2000-02)This paper focuses on the location effects of preferential trade areas (PTA) on non-members. More specifically, using a CGE model calibrated to real data, it focuses on the impact of tighter European integration on ... -
Euler Equations, Subjective Expectations and Income Shocks
(DP SAM;21/2018, Working paper, 2018)In this paper, we make three substantive contributions: first, we use elicited subjective income expectations to identify the levels of permanent and transitory income shocks in a life-cycle framework; second, we use these ... -
Euler Equations, Subjective Expectations and Income Shocks.
(DP SAM;05, Working paper, 2017-04)In this paper, we make three substantive contributions: first, we use elicited subjective income expectations to identify the levels of permanent and transitory income shocks in a life-cycle framework; second, we use these ... -
A European type wage equation from an American type labour market : some evidence from a panel of Norwegian manufacturing industries in the 1930s
(Discussion paper, Working paper, 2003-09)Using a newly constructed panel of manufacturing industry data for interwar Norway, we estimate a long-run wage curve for the 1930s that has all the modern features of being homogeneous in prices, proportional to ... -
Evaluating carbon capture and storage in a climate model with directed technical change
(Discussion Papers;14/2013, Working paper, 2013-08)Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is considered a critical technology needed to curb CO2 emissions and is envisioned by the International Energy Agency (IEA) as an integral part of least-cost greenhouse gas mitigation ... -
Evaluating Carbon Capture and Storage in a Climate Model with Endogenous Technical Change
(DP SAM;22/2019, Working paper, 2019-10-16)We assess the extent to which Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and R&D on this abatement technology are part of a socially efficient solution to the problem of climate change. For this purpose, we extend the intertemporal ... -
Evidence of the Environmental Kuznets Curve in Emerging Eastern European Economies
(DP SAM;11/2019, Working paper, 2019-05)This study aims to investigate the relationship of economic development, measured as economic growth, energy use, trade and foreign direct investment one the one hand and environmental degradation (carbon dioxide (hereafter ... -
Evidence that prenatal testosterone transfer from male twins reduces the fertility and socioeconomic success of their female co-twins

The evolution of inequality in productivity and wages : panel data evidence
(Discussion paper, Working paper, 2007-08)There has been a remarkable increase in wage inequality in the US, UK and many other countries over the past three decades. A significant part of this appears to be within observable groups (such as age-gender-skill ... -
The evolution of the gender wage gap
(Discussion paper, Working paper, 2003-01)In this paper we investigate when the male-female wage differential arises: Does it evolve over the early career or does it exist right from entry into first employment? For the analysis we use new administrative ... -
Exclusionary contracts and incentives to innovate
(DP SAM;05/2020, Working paper, 2020-06)The article considers a situation where several firms have the opportunity to sell an identical product to a set of buyers, and where each seller can invest in R&D to develop a higher quality version of the product in ... -
Exercise Improves Academic Performance.
(DP SAM;8/2017, Working paper, 2017-08)We report the results of a randomized controlled trial testing whether incentivizing physical exercise improves the academic performance of college students. As expected, the intervention increases physical activity. The ... -
Expansions in Paid Parental Leave and Mothers’ Economic Progress
(SAM DP;13/2022, Working paper, 2022-10)We examine the impact of government-funded universal paid parental leave extensions on the likelihood that mothers reach top-pay jobs and executive positions, using eight Norwegian reforms. Up to a quarter of a century ... -
Experimental Evidence on the Acceptance of Males Falling Behind
(SAM DP;13/2023, Working paper, 2023)In recent decades, an increasing share of males struggle in the labor market and education. We show in a set of large-scale experimental studies involving more than 30,000 Americans that people are more accepting of males ... -
Explaining the gender wage gap : estimates from a dynamic model of job changes and hours changes
(Discussion paper;15/2012, Working paper, 2012-08)I address the causes of the gender wage gap with a new dynamic model of wage, hours, and job changes that permits me to decompose the gap into a portion due to gender differences in preferences for part-time work and in ... -
Explaining the gender wage gap: Estimates from a dynamic model of job changes and hours changes.
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)I address the causes of the gender wage gap with a new dynamic model of wage, hours, and job changes that permits me to decompose the gap into a portion due to gender differences in preferences for hours of work and in ... -
Explicit and implicit incentives in fund management
(Discussion paper, Working paper, 2001-01)Fund managers compete to attract new investors. Competition and fund management contracts provide implicit and explicit incentives for fund management. I study the combined effect of these two types of incentives on i) ... -
Exploiting parallelization in spatial statistics: an applied survey using R
(Discussion paper, Working paper, 2010-10)Computing tasks may be parallelized top-down by splitting into per-node chunks when the tasks permit this kind of division, and particularly when there is little or no need for communication between the nodes. Another ... -
Face-saving or fair-minded : what motivates moral behavior?
