Overskuddsflytting ved bruk av internprismanipulasjon blant flernasjonale selskaper i Norge - En empirisk analyse på norske data
(Master thesis, 2015)I denne masterutredningen undersøker vi om flernasjonale selskaper som opererer i Norge flytter overskudd ved å manipulere internprisene. Vi gjør dette gjennom å sammenligne profitabiliteten til flernasjonale og nasjonale ... -
Overskuddsflytting ved internprismanipulasjon i norske flernasjonale foretak
(Master thesis, 2012)Denne oppgaven har som formål å avdekke omfanget og drivere for overskuddsflytting gjennom internprismanipulasjon blant norske flernasjonale foretak. Vi tar utgangspunkt i studien til Balsvik et al. fra 2009 som studerer ... -
Paradoxes in networks supporting competitive electricity markets
(Discussion paper, Working paper, 2000)Grid investments are normally done in electrical networks in order to achieve a well functioning integrated electricity market and/or making the network more secure, i.e. less sensitive to link failures. In general, there ... -
Pareto optimal insurance policies in the presence of administrative costs
(Discussion paper, Working paper, 2010-08)In his classical article in The American Economic Review, Arthur Raviv (1979) examines Pareto optimal insurance contracts when there are ex-post insurance costs c induced by the indemnity I for loss x. Raviv’s main ... -
Patent trolls, litigation and the market for innovation
(Discussion papers;24/14, Working paper, 2014-06)We examine the role of non-practicing entities (NPEs), often called patent trolls, in patent litigation. We present a theoretical model that predicts that cases with NPE patentees resolve faster. We test this prediction ... -
Patient allocations according to circumstances and preferences: Modelling based on the Norwegian patient list system
(Discussion paper, Working paper, 2006-12)In some countries every citizen has the right to obtain a designated general practitioner. However, each individual may have preferences that cannot be fulfilled due to shortages of some kind. The questions raised in this ... -
Patient allocations in general practice in case of patients' preferences for gender of doctor and their unavailability
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)Background: In some countries every citizen has the right to obtain a designated general practitioner. However, each individual may have preferences that cannot be fulfilled due to shortages of some kind. The questions ... -
Peak price hours in the Nordic power market winter 2009/2010: effects of pricing, demand elasticity and transmission capacities
(Discussion paper;09/15, Working paper, 2015-02-13)The Nordic electricity market experienced extremely high prices during the winter 2009/2010. Using real data from the peak price hours the zonal solution from the Nordic market is replicated and compared to the nodal price ... -
Perceived mortality and perceived morality: Perceptions of value-orientation are more likely when a decision is preceded by a mortality reminder
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)The questions addressed in this paper are whether and how reported mortality reminders can function as an indication of sincerity when communicating ambiguously motivated decisions. In two experiments, ... -

The perpetual American put option for jump-diffusions : implications for equity premiums
(Discussion paper, Working paper, 2004-12)In this paper we solve an optimal stopping problem with an infinite time horizon, when the state variable follows a jump-diffusion. Under certain conditions our solution can be interpreted as the price of an American ... -
The perpetual American put option for jump-diffusions with applications
(Discussion paper, Working paper, 2005-11)In this paper we solve an optimal stopping problem with an infinite time horizon, when the state variable follows a jump-diffusion. Under certain conditions our solution can be interpreted as the price of an American ... -
Perspectives of risk sharing
(Discussion paper, Working paper, 2000-05)In this paper we present an overview of the standard risk sharing model of insurance. We discuss and characterize a competitive equilibrium, Pareto optimality, and representative agent pricing, including its implications ... -
A perturbation approach on a class of optimal control problems, unifying the pontryagin and dynamic programming approach
(Discussion paper, Working paper, 2000-06)This article consider special ways of solving time dependent (non-autonomous) systems. Different types of time-dependent Optimal Control Problems in the setting of a Hamiltonian Formulation, are considered and the emphasis ... -
Pervasive liquidity risk
(Discussion paper, Working paper, 2002-11)While there is no equilibrium framework for defining liquidity risk per se, several plausible arguments suggest that liquidity risk is pervasive and thus may be priced. For example, market frictions increase the cost of ... -
Planning for charters: A stochastic maritime fleet composition and deployment problem
