On the economic geography of dual distribution - The case of McDonald’s in Germany
(Discussion paper;14/19, Working paper, 2019-10-29)We analyze the allocation of ownership in a franchise system by focusing on location-specific characteristics of the outlets. This study uses a comprehensive data set on McDonald’s restaurants in Germany to investigate the ... -
On the estimation of correlations for irregularly spaced time series
(Discussion paper, Working paper, 2007-06)In this paper, the problem of calculating covariances and correlations between time series which are observed irregularly and at different points in time, is treated. The problem of dependence between the time stamp process ... -
On the Evolution of Investment Strategies and the Kelly Rule – A Darwinian Approach
(Discussion paper, Working paper, 2006-12)This paper complements theoretical studies on the Kelly rule in evolutionary finance by studying a Darwinian model of selection and reproduction in which the diversity of investment strategies is maintained through genetic ... -
On the importance of sequencing decisions in production planning and scheduling
(Discussion paper, Working paper, 1999-06)We discuss the traditional hierarchical approach to production planning and scheduling, emphasizing the fact that scheduling constraints are often either ignored or considered in a very crude way. In particular, we point ... -
On the micro-foundations of money : the Capitol Hill baby-sitting co-op
(Discussion paper, Working paper, 2003-10)This paper contributes to the micro-foundation of money in centralized markets with idiosyncratic uncertainty. It shows existence of stationary monetary equilibria and ensures that there is an optimum quantity of money. ... -
On the pricing of performance sensitive debt

One size fits all? Facility management in Norwegian local governments
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Up to the mid-1990s almost all Norwegian local governments had a decentralized structure on their facility management. Over the following 15 years a swift centralization followed, and in 2010 roughly 85% of the ... -
Optimal adaptations to thin-capitalisation rules : the case of the Norwegian petroleum sector
(Master thesis, 2013)The high marginal tax rate of 78 per cent in the Norwegian petroleum sector gives the petroleum companies a strong incentive to finance themselves by both external and internal debt. This can lead to situations where the ... -
Optimal consumption and portfolio in a jump diffusion market
(Discussion paper, Working paper, 2001-06)We consider the problem of optimal consumption and portfolio in a jump diffusion market consisting of a bank account and a stock, whose price is modeled by a geometric Lévy process. We show that in the absence of transaction ... -
Optimal contracts under imperfect enforcement revisited
(Discussion paper, Working paper, 2005-08)We consider a financing game with costly enforcement based on Townsend (1979), but where monitoring is non-contractible and allowed to be stochastic. Debt is the optimal contract. Moreover, the debt contract induces creditor ... -
Optimal control of a renewable natural resources and the "stochastically induced critical depensation"
(Discussion paper, Working paper, 2002-12)This paper focus aspects connected to the optimal control of a renewable resource modelled by a stochastic differential equation. The main point is to show how small changes of the problem may cause severe changes in the ... -
Optimal control of predictive mean-field equations and applications to finance
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)We study a coupled system of controlled stochastic differential equations (SDEs) driven by a Brownian motion and a compensated Poisson random measure, consisting of a forward SDE in the unknown process X(t) and a predictive ... -
Optimal control of systems with noisy memory and BSDEs with Malliavin derivatives
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)In this article we consider a stochastic optimal control problem where the dynamics of the state process, X(t), is a controlled stochastic differential equation with jumps, delay and noisy memory. The term noisy memory ... -
Optimal control with partial information for stochastic Volterra equations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010)In the first part of the paper we obtain existence and characterizations of an optimal control for a linear quadratic control problem of linear stochastic Volterra equations. In the second part, using the Malliavin calculus ... -
Optimal control with partial information for stochastic Volterra equations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010)In the first part of the paper we obtain existence and characterizations of an optimal control for a linear quadratic control problem of linear stochastic Volterra equations. In the second part, using the Malliavin ... -
Optimal fishing mortalities with age-structured bioeconomic model - a case of NEA mackerel
(Discussion paper;9/16, Working paper, 2016-05-31)The effects of random environmental impacts on optimal exploitation of a fish population are investigated using both optimization and simulation, based on a discrete-time age-structured bioeconomic model. The optimization ... -
Optimal fishing policy for two species in a three-species predator-prey model: The case of capelin, cod and juvenile herring in the Barents Sea
(Discussion paper, Working paper, 2007-12)This paper presents a management model for the Barents Sea capelin and cod fisheries including juvenile herring in the biological model as the young herring influences the cod-capelin system. The objective of the study is ... -
Optimal heating of large block of flats

Optimal Insurance Policies in the Presence of Costs
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)We reconsider costs in insurance, and suggest a new type of cost function, which we argue is a natural choice when there are relatively small, but frequent, claims. If a fixed cost is incurred each time a claim is made, ... -
Optimal maintenance scheduling of local public purpose buildings
(Discussion paper;36/14, Working paper, 2014-11)We formulate the maintenance scheduling decision as a dynamic optimization problem, subject to an accelerating decay. This approach offers a formal, yet intuitive, weighting of the trade-offs involved when deciding a ...
