Liberal Resourcism: Problems and Possibilities
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)A basic question for egalitarians is the “equality of what?” question. This is an instance of the more general “distribution of what?” question for distributive justice. The question is of great importance both for ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Fairness and the Development of Inequality Acceptance
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010)Fairness considerations fundamentally affect human behavior, but our understanding of the nature and development of people’s fairness preferences is limited. The dictator game has been the standard experimental design for ... -
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 ... -
Small family, smart family? Family size and the IQ scores of young men
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010)This paper uses Norwegian data to estimate the effect of family size on IQ scores of men. Instrumental variables (IV) estimates using sex composition as an instrument show no significant negative effect of family size; ... -
The challenge of a rising skill premium for redistributive taxation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010)The present paper analyzes the challenge to redistribution programs posed by an increase in the skill premium. The skill premium affects both the profitability of education and the profitability of migration. We propose a ... -
Teaching business in Tanzania: evaluating participation and performance
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010)There is increased awareness that success among small-scale entrepreneurs in developing countries requires more than microfinance, and that an important limiting factor for business growth is the level of human capital ... -
Markup cyclicality and input factor adjustments
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010)This paper investigates the existence of markups and their cyclical behaviour at the industry sector level. Markups are given as a price-cost relation that is estimated from a dynamic, structural model of the firm. The ... -
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 ... -
A note on upward pricing pressure: the possibility of false positives
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Joseph Farrell and Carl Shapiro proposed a simple test of the possible upward pricing pressure (UPP) following a merger. They showed that the test may give false negatives—that is, indicate that a merger may not give an ... -
Single-product versus uniform SSNIPs
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)It is common to apply a SSNIP test with a uniform price increase on all products in the candidate market. We show that in situations with asymmetries – for example variations in revenues – a uniform SSNIP test may suggest ... -
Merger simulations with observed diversion ratios
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)One approach to merger simulations used in antitrust cases is to calibrate demand from market shares and a few additional parameters. When the products involved in the merger case are differentiated along several dimensions, ... -
Responsibility for what? Fairness and individual responsibility
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010)What should individuals be held responsible for? This is a fundamental question in much of the contemporary debate on distributive justice. Different fairness ideals, such as strict egalitarianism, and different versions ... -
The tyranny of non-aggregation versus the tyranny of aggregation in social choices: a real dilemma
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010)Can a tiny gain to sufficiently many well-off justify imposing a much larger sacrifice on the worst-off? We show that if one answers negatively to such a question and endorses replication invariance, one is forced to accept ... -
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 ... -
A New Latent Class to Fit Spatial Econometrics Models with Integrated Nested Laplace Approximations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)The new slm latent model for estimating spatial econometrics models using INLA has recently been introduced. It will be described briefly and its use will be demonstrated in the accompanying poster. -
Implementing Approximations to Extreme Eigenvalues and Eigenvalues of Irregular Surface Partitionings for use in SAR and CAR Models
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Good approximations of eigenvalues exist for the regular square and hexagonal tessellations. To complement this situation, spatial scientists need good approximations of eigenvalues for irregular tessellations. Starting ... -
Spatial diffusion and spatial statistics: revisting Hägerstrand’s study of innovation diffusion.
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Torsten Hägerstrand’s 1953 study of innovation diffusion [1] was pathbreaking in many ways. It was based on an explicit micro-model of information spread, and on Monte Carlo simulation of the hypothesised spatial process. ...
