Speciality oils supply chain optimization: from a decoupled to an integrated planning approach
(Discussion paper;03/12, Working paper, 2012-03)We study a problem of tactical planning in a divergent supply chain. It involves decisions regarding production, inventory, internal transportation, sales and distribution to customers. The problem is motivated by the ... -
Specification of merger gains in the Norwegian electricity distribution industry
(Discussion paper;7/16, Working paper, 2016-04-19)Electricity distribution often exhibits economies of scale. In Norway, a number of smaller distribution system operators exist and thus there is potential to restructure the industry, possibly through mergers. However, the ... -
Spillovers and international competition for investments
(Discussion paper, Working paper, 2001-05)Two jurisdictions compete to attract shares of the investment budget of a large multinational enterprise, whose investments confer positive spillovers on national firms. The firm has private information about its efficiency ... -
Spin-offs and spillovers : tracing knowledge by following employees across firms
(Discussion paper, Working paper, 2002)Most R&D projects fail from a commercial point of view, and technological shifts may quickly turn even successful innovations into failure. It is, however, possible that projects which fail commercially produce knowledge ... -
The St. Petersburg Paradox
(Discussion paper, Working paper, 1998-09)The classical St. Petersburg Paradox is discussed in terms of doubling strategies. It is claimed that what was originally thought of as a "paradox" can hardly be considered as very surprising today, but viewed in terms of ... -
Stackelberg equilibria in a multiperiod vertical contracting model with uncertain and price-dependent demand
(Discussion paper;2012:2, Working paper, 2012-02)In this paper, we consider Stackelberg games in a multiperiod vertical contracting model with uncertain demand. Demand has a distribution with a mean and variance that depend on the current retail price, and this ... -
Stackelberg equilibria in continuous newsvendor models with uncertain demand and delayed information
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)We consider explicit formulae for equilibrium prices in a continuous-time vertical contracting model. A manufacturer sells goods to a retailer, and the objective of both parties is to maximize expected profits. Demand ... -
Stairway to (Secrecy) Heaven: Market Attitudes towards Secrecy Shopping
(Discussion paper;19/18, Working paper, 2018-12-18)We study asset price reactions to news on firms' decisions to acquire affiliates located in known secrecy havens. Our sample consists of data on the S&P 500 companies in the period 2007 to 2014. We find that acquisitions ... -

Status concerns and the organization of work
(Discussion paper, Working paper, 2001-01)We study the effects of local status, where workers compare their wage to the wage of other workers within the same firm. We assume a competitive labor market with unobservable effort, where firms condition wages on output ... -
Stepwise Green Investment under Policy Uncertainty
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)We analyse how market price and policy uncertainty, in the form of random provision or retraction of a subsidy, interact to affect the optimal time of Investment and the size of a renewable energy (RE) project that can be ... -
Stepwise Investment and Capacity Sizing under Uncertainty
(Discussion paper;10/15, Working paper, 2015-02-13)The relationship between uncertainty and managerial flexibility is particularly crucial in addressing capital projects. We consider a firm that can invest in a project in either a single (lumpy investment) or multiple ... -

Stochastic Electricity Dispatch: A challenge for market design
(Discussion paper;11/16, Working paper, 2016-08-25)We consider an electricity market with two sequential market clearings, for instance representing a day-ahead and a real-time market. When the first market is cleared, there is uncertainty with respect to generation and/or ... -
Stochastic energy market equilibrium modeling with multiple agents

Stochastic optimization for multispecies fisheries in the Barents Sea
(Discussion paper;02/14, Working paper, 2014-02)This study presents a multispecies stochastic model. The model suggests optimal fishing policy for two species in a three species predator prey ecosystem in the Barents Sea. We have employed stochastic dynamic programing ... -
Stochastic programming, cooperation, and risk exchange
(Discussion paper, Working paper, 2001-08)Stochastic programming offers handy instruments to analyze exchange of goods and risks. Absent efficient markets for some of those items, such programming may imitate or synthesize market-like transfers among concerned ...
