    • Explaining the gender wage gap : estimates from a dynamic model of job changes and hours changes 

      Liu, Kai (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 ...

      Kristiansen, Eirik Gaard (Discussion paper, Working paper, 2001-01)

    • Exploiting parallelization in spatial statistics: an applied survey using R 

      Bivand, Roger S. (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 ...

      Cappelen, Alexander W.; Halvorsen, Trond; Sørensen, Erik Ø.; Tungodden, Bertil (Discussion paper;5/2013, Working paper, 2013-02)
      We study the relative importance of intrinsic moral motivation and extrinsic social motivation in explaining behavior in the dictator game. We introduce a novel design that manipulates these two dimensions. The paper ...
    • Failing to Follow the Rules: Can Imprisonment Lead to More Imprisonment Without More Actual Crime? 

      Franco, Catalina; Harding, David J.; Bushway, Shawn D. (SAM DP;03/2022, Working paper, 2022-03)
      We find that people involved in low-level crime receiving a prison sentence are more likely than those with non-prison sentences to be re-imprisoned due to technical violations of parole, rather than due to new crimes. We ...

    • Fairness and inequality : measuring fairness preferences and identifying the unfair income inequality in Germany 

      Stavem, Frøya Plahte; Støren, Bendik Nagel (Master thesis, 2016)
      The standard measures of economic inequality seem not to be in accordance with the way people tend to think about inequality. Rather than considering all economic inequality unfair, people seem to accept inequalities arising ...
    • Fairness and limited information: Are people Bayesian meritocrats? 

      Cappelen, Alexander W.; Haan, Thomas de; Tungodden, Bertil (SAM DP;07/2022, Working paper, 2022-05)
      Meritocracy is a prominent fairness view in many societies, but often difficult to apply because there is limited information about the source of inequality. This paper studies theoretically and empirically how limited ...

      Buser, Thomas; Cappelen, Alexander W.; Tungodden, Bertil (DP SAM;08/2021, Working paper, 2021-03)

      Støstad, Morten Nyborg (DP SAM;22/2023, Working paper, 2023-12)
