      Intermittent renewable energy sources, including solar and wind power, typically remain more expensive than conventional power sources. As a consequence, few intermittent power projects would have been deployed if speci ...

    • Returprovisjoner – et samfunnsproblem? : en utforskende studie om returprovisjonsavtaler i den norske turistnæringen

    • Revelation of preferences in patient list data 

      Ubøe, Jan; Lillestøl, Jostein (Discussion paper, Working paper, 2007)
      In this paper we will show how the patient list model in Ubøe & Lillestøl (2007) can be used to infer strength of preferences from patient list data. We prove that we can construct unique sets of preferences that replicates ...

    • Revelation of preferences in trip distribution models 

      Jörnsten, Kurt; Thorsen, Inge; Ubøe, Jan (Discussion paper, Working paper, 2007)
      In this paper we will see how commuter preferences can be revealed from observations of trip distributions. We will explain how to find unique representations of preference structures leading to an observed trip distribution, ...

      Kvaløy, Ola; Olsen, Trond E. (Discussion paper, Working paper, 2006-07)
      Why does individual performance pay seem to prevail in human-capital-intensive industries where teamwork is so common? We present a model that aims to explain this. In a repeated game model of relational contracting, we ...

    • Risikopremier, realrenten og optimal konsum og porteføljeteori: Hva er problemet?

      Vi demonstrerer hvordan rekursive preferanser kan anvendes i økonomisk modellering, der kombinasjon av tid og usikkerhet er vesentlige elementer. Additiv og separerbar forventet nytteteori har vært den vanlige grunnpillaren ...

    • Risk aversion in the large and in the small

      Estimates of agents' risk aversion differ between market studies and experimental studies. We demonstrate that the estimates can be reconciled through consistent treatment of agents' tendency for narrow framing, regarding ...

    • The risk components of liquidity 

      Chollete, Lorán; Næs, Randi; Skjeltorp, Johannes A. (Discussion paper, Working paper, 2008-03)
      Does liquidity risk differ depending on our choice of liquidity proxy? Unlike literature that considers common liquidity variation, we focus on identifying different components of liquidity, statistically and economically, ...

    • Risk taking in selection contests 

      Hvide, Hans K.; Kristiansen, Eirik Gaard (Discussion paper, Working paper, 2000-11)
      We study selection contests in which the strategic variable is degree of risk rather than amount of effort. The selection efficiency of such contests is examined. We show that the selection efficiency of a contest may be ...

    • Royalty Taxation under Profit Shifting and Competition for FDI 

      Juranek, Steffen; Schindler, Dirk; Schneider, Andrea (Discussion paper;11/20, Working paper, 2020-09-09)
      Multinational corporations increasingly use royalty payments for intellectual property rights to shift profits globally. This threatens not only the tax base of countries worldwide, it also affects the nature of competition ...

    • RuttOpt : a decision support system for routing of logging trucks 

      Andersson, Gert; Flisberg, Patrik; Lidén, Bertil; Rönnqvist, Mikael (Discussion paper, Working paper, 2007)
      We describe the decision support system RuttOpt, which is developed for scheduling logging trucks in the Swedish forest industry. The system is made up of a number of modules. One module is the Swedish road database NVDB ...

    • Scrapping a wind turbine: Policy changes, scrapping incentives and why wind turbines in good locations get scrapped first 

      Mauritzen, Johannes (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      The most common reason for scrapping a wind turbine in Denmark is to make room for a newer turbine. The decision to scrap a wind turbine is then highly dependent on an opportunity cost that comes from the interaction of ...

    • Scrubber: a potentially overestimated compliance method for the Emission Control Areas - The importance of involving a ship's sailing pattern in the evaluation
