Adferdsøkonomi og økonomiske eksperimenter F
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012) -
Adjusting for age effects in cross-sectional distributions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Income and wealth differ over the life cycle. In cross-sectional distri- butions of income or wealth, classical inequality measures such as the Gini, could therefore find substantial inequality even if everyone have the ... -
After "Raising the Bar'': applied maximum likelihood estimation of families of models in spatial econometrics.
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Elhorst (2010) shows how the recent publication of LeSage and Pace (2009) in his expression “raises the bar” for our fitting of spatial econometrics models. By extending the family of models that deserve attention, Elhorst ... -
All the bottles in one basket? Evaluating the effect of intra-industry diversification on risk
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)This paper develops a framework using Monte Carlo simulation to examine risk/return properties of intra-industry product portfolio composition and diversification. We use product-level data covering all Swedish sales of ... -
An evasive topic: theorizing about the hidden economy
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)This paper reviews some central issues that arise in theorizing about tax evasion decisions and the hidden economy. It starts from the Allingham-Sandmo (1972) modelling of the tax evasion decision as a choice under ... -
An experimental study of prosocial motivation among criminals
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)The fact that criminal behavior typically has negative consequences for others provides a compelling reason to think that criminals lack prosocial motivation. This paper reports the results from two dictator game experiments ... -
Antarctic Tourism and Maritime Heritage
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010)Maritime activities in the Antarctic region date back to the eighteenth century. They evolved from exploration and discoveries to commercial enterprises, especially sealing, whaling and fishing. Antarctic tourism is a much ... -
Appendix 1: The effects of the oil price shocks on shipbuilding in the 1970s
(Work around the globe: historical comparisons and connections;, Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2017) -
Approximate Bayesian inference for spatial econometrics models
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)In this paper we explore the use of the Integrated Laplace Approximation (INLA) for Bayesian inference in some widely used models in Spatial Econometrics. Bayesian inference often relies on computationally intensive ... -
Asymmetric Information and Public Economics: The Mirrlees-Vickrey Nobel Prize
(Journal article, 1999) -
Baby booming inequality? Demographic change and earnings inequality in Norway, 1967–2000
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)In this paper, we demonstrate how age-adjusted inequality measures can be used to evaluate whether changes in inequality over time are due to changes in the age-structure. To this end, we use administrative data on ... -
Business Training in Tanzania: From Research-driven Experiment to Local Implementation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Field experiments documenting positive treatment effects have a strong policy message: scale up! However, such experiments are typically implemented under close supervision of the research group in charge of the study. In ... -
Bør den indirekte pressestøtten gis som momsfritak eller skattefradrag? :
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Papiraviser er fritatt for moms. Dette representerer en indirekte subsidie i størrelsesorden 1,5 milliarder kroner per år. Skattefradrag for redaksjonelle kostnader har vært foreslått som et supplerende virkemiddel i en ... -
Bør FoU-støtte rettes mot små eller store foretak?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)I boken Innovation, Path Dependency, and Policy, som utkom på Oxford University Press i 2009, uttrykker Jan Fagerberg, David Mowery og Bart Verspagen bekymring for at norsk forskningspolitikk ikke i tilstrekkelig grad ... -
Climate Policy and the steel industry: achieving global emission reductions by an incomplete climate agreement
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2004)The steel industry is one of the largest sources of global CO 2 emissions and hence a candidate for climate policies. A carbon tax on emissions in industrialized countries, however, will cause relocation of steel production ... -
Company taxation and tax spillovers: Separate accounting versus formula apportionment
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010)It is observed in the real world that taxes matter for location decisions and that multinationals shift profits by transfer pricing. The US and Canada use so-called formula apportionment (FA) to tax corporate income, and ... -
Comparing Implementations of Estimation Methods for Spatial Econometrics
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-01)Recent advances in the implementation of spatial econometrics model estimation tech- niques have made it desirable to compare results, which should correspond between im- plementations across software applications for ... -
Comparing implementations of global and local indicators of spatial association.
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)Functions to calculate measures of spatial association, especially measures of spatial autocorrelation, have been made available in many software applications. Measures may be global, applying to the whole data set under ... -
Competitive in the lab, successful in the field?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)A number of lab experiments in recent years have analyzed people’s willingness to com-pete. But to what extent is competitive behavior in the lab associated with field choicesand outcomes? We address this question in a ... -
Computing the Jacobian in Gaussian Spatial Autoregressive Models: An Illustrated Comparison of Available Methods
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)When estimating spatial regression models by maximum likelihood using spatial weights matrices to represent spatial processes, computing the Jacobian, ln(|I - lW|), remains a central problem. In principle, and for smaller ...
