(DP SAM;15/2020, Working paper, 2020-08)While COVID-19 was responsible for more than 600,000 deaths worldwide as of July 24, 2020, very little is known about the socio-economic heterogeneity of its impact on mortality. In this paper, we combine several administrative ... -
Port pricing : principles, structure and models

Postpartum Job Loss: Transitory Effect on Mothers, Long-run Damage to Children
(DP SAM;22/2020, Working paper, 2020-11)The first year after childbirth involves dramatic changes to parents’ lives and is crucial for children’s development. Using plausibly exogenous job loss from mass layoffs, we study the effect of labor shocks on mothers ... -
Poverty measurement : the critical comparison value

The premium of marine protected areas : a simple valuation model

Prestasjonsbasert lønn og turnover : en empirisk undersøkelse på tvers av landegrenser

Price and quality in spatial competition
(Discussion paper, Working paper, 2009-07)We study the relationship between competition and quality within a spatial competition framework where firms compete in prices and quality. We generalise existing literature on spatial price-quality competition along ... -
Price Change Synchronization within and between Firms
(SAM DP;15/2021, Working paper, 2021-08)This paper provides evidence on price rigidity at the product- and firm-level in Norway. A strong within-firm synchronization is found supporting the theory of economies of scope in menu costs. The industry synchronization ... -
Price Changes - Stickiness and Internal Coordination in Multiproduct Firms.
(DP SAM;21, Working paper, 2016-12)We assess empirically the micro-foundations of producers’ sticky pricing behaviour. We account for various functional forms of menu costs. The focus is on the analysis of multiproduct plants, and the menu costs therefore ... -
Price discrimination and three part tariffs in a duopoly

The Price of Cost-effectiveness Thresholds

Price-dependent profit sharing as an escape from the Bertrand paradox
(Discussion paper, Working paper, 2007-01)In this paper we show how an upstream firm can prevent destructive competition among downstream firms producing relatively close substitutes by implementing a price-dependent profit-sharing rule. The rule also ensures ... -
Price-dependent profit-sharing as a channel coordination device
(Discussion paper, Working paper, 2009-07)We show how an upstream firm by using a price-dependent profit-sharing rule can prevent destructive competition between downstream firms that produce relatively close substitutes. With this rule the upstream firm induces ... -
Priceless: The nonpecuniary benefits of schooling
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)Increasing wealth provides key motivation for students to forgo earnings and struggle through exams. But, as we argue in this paper, schooling generates many experiences and affects many dimensions of skill that, in turn, ... -
Pricing of an interruptible service with financial compensation and rational expectations
