    • An alternative way to model merit good arguments 

      Schroyen, Fred (Discussion paper, Working paper, 2003-10)
      Besley (1988) uses a scaling approach to model merit good arguments in commodity tax policy. In this paper, I question this approach on the grounds that it produces ’wrong’ recommendations—taxation (subsidisation) of ...

    • An alternative way to model merit good arguments 

      Schroyen, Fred (Discussion paper, Working paper, 2002)
      Besley (1988) uses a scaling approach to model merit good arguments in commodity tax policy. In this paper, I question this approach on the grounds that it produces ’wrong’ recommendations—taxation (subsidisation) of ...

    • Attitudes towards income risk in the presence of quantity constraints 

      Schroyen, Fred (Discussion paper, Working paper, 2011-04)

    • Attitudes towards large income risk in welfare states: an international comparison. 

      Schroyen, Fred; Aarbu, Karl Ove (DP SAM;20/2017, Working paper, 2017-12)
      Using survey data and the instrument developed by Barsky et al. (1997), we estimate the distribution of attitudes towards income risk in a country where many employment and health-related risks are generously covered by a ...

    • A benchmark value for relative prudence 

      Schroyen, Fred; Etner, Johanna; Eeckhoudt, Louis (Discussion paper, Working paper, 2007-10)
      In this paper we propose benchmark values for the coefficients of relative risk aversion and relative prudence on the basis of a binary choice model where the decision maker chooses between aggregating or disaggragatin ...

    • Can a mixed health care system be desirable on equity grounds ? 

      Marchand, Maurice; Schroyen, Fred (Discussion paper, Working paper, 2003-02)
      Should health care provision be public, private, or both? We look at this question in a setting where people differ in their earnings capacity and face some illness risk. We assume that illness reduces a person's time ...

    • Evaluating carbon capture and storage in a climate model with directed technical change 

      Durmaz, Tunç; Schroyen, Fred (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 

      Durmaz, Tunç; Schroyen, Fred (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 ...

    • Income risk aversion with quantity constraints 

      Schroyen, Fred (Discussion paper, Working paper, 2010-02)
      In this paper, I consider a consumer with a concave utility function over n commodities and trace out the consequences of quantity constraints on product markets for the consumer's aversion towards income risk. I show ...

    • The legal incidence of ad valorem taxes matters 

      Pauwels, Wilfried; Schroyen, Fred (DP SAM;23/2023, Working paper, 2023-12-19)
      It is well known that, for a specific tax, its economic incidence does not depend on which side of the market has the legal obligation to pay the tax. In this paper, we show that, for an ad valorem tax, this legal incidence ...

    • Mapping risk aversion in Norway using hypothetical income gambles 

      Aarbu, Karl Ove; Schroyen, Fred (Discussion paper, Working paper, 2009-08)
      This is the first study that explores the heterogeneity of risk preferences among the Norwegian population. We measure risk aversion as the complement of the maximal relative downside income risk a person is willing to ...

    • Marginal indirect tax reform analysis with merit good arguments and environmental concerns : Norway, 1999 

      Schroyen, Fred; Aasness, Jørgen (Discussion paper, Working paper, 2006-04)
      We present a framework to identify and evaluate marginal tax reforms when merit good arguments and environmental concerns are given explicit consideration. It is applied to the Norwegian indirect tax system for 1999. ...

    • Markets for public and private health care : redistribution arguments for a mixed system 

      Schroyen, Fred; Marchand, Maurice (Discussion paper, Working paper, 2001-04)
      Should health care provision be public, private, or both? We look at this question in a setting where people differ in their earnings capacity and express an inelastic demand for health care. We assume that illness reduces ...

    • Multidimensional screening in a monopolistic insurance market 

      Olivella, Pau; Schroyen, Fred (Discussion Papers;19/2011, Working paper, 2011-11)
      In this paper, we consider a population of individuals who differ in two dimensions: their risk type (expected loss) and their risk aversion. We solve for the profit maximizing menu of contracts that a monopolistic insurer ...

    • Multidimensional screening in a monopolistic insurance market: proofs 

      Olivella, Pau; Schroyen, Fred (Discussion Papers;21/2011, Working paper, 2011-11)
      This technical paper contains the proofs of all lemmata, propo- sitions and other statements made in the paper Multidimensional screening in a monopolistic insurance market.

    • Operational expressions for the marginal cost of indirect taxation when merit arguments matter 

      Schroyen, Fred (Discussion paper, Working paper, 2005-02)
      Marginal indirect tax reform analysis evaluates for each commodity (group) the marginal welfare cost (MC) of increasing government revenue with 1 Euro by raising the indirect tax rate on that commodity. In this paper, ...

    • Optimal hospital payment rules under rationing by random waiting. 

      Gravelle, Hugh; Schroyen, Fred (SAM;8/2016, Working paper, 2016-05-19)
      We derive optimal rules for paying hospitals in a public health care system in which providers can choose quality and random patient demand is rationed by waiting time. Since waiting time imposes real costs on patients ...

    • Pricing of an interruptible service with financial compensation and rational expectations 

      Schroyen, Fred; Oyenuga, Adekola Oludolapo (Discussion paper, Working paper, 2008-08)
      This paper proposes a pricing framework that combines the occurrence of supply interruptions with financial compensations. Consumers post ex ante demands for a designated period. These demands are met if ex post supply ...

    • Redistributive taxation and the household : the case of individual filings 

      Schroyen, Fred (Discussion paper, Working paper, 2002-01)
      In this paper I look at the tax treatment of households under individual filings and characterise the efficiency properties of an income tax schedule that redistributes from rich to poor households. Because tax liabilities ...

    • Sticks and carrots for the alleviation of long-term poverty 

      Schroyen, Fred; Torsvik, Gaute (Discussion paper, Working paper, 2001-12)
      Work requirements can make it easier to screen the poor from the nonpoor. They can also affect future poverty by changing the poors’ incentive to invest in their income capacity. The novelty of our study is the focus ...
