• The perpetual American put option for jump-diffusions : implications for equity premiums 

      Aase, Knut K. (Discussion paper, Working paper, 2004-12)

    • Pervasive liquidity risk 

      Eckbo, B. Espen; Norli, Øyvind (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 

      Wang, Xin; Fagerholt, Kjetil; Wallace, Stein W. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)
      This paper introduces a chartering problem that arises in the shipping industry. The chartering decisions determine the time-charter contracts to enter into, in particular, how many ships of each type to charter in, and ...
    • Playing Easy or Playing Hard to Get: When and How to Attract FDI 

      Gresik, Thomas A.; Schindler, Dirk; Schjelderup, Guttorm (Discussion paper;7/20, Working paper, 2020-06-30)
      We study the link between a country’s institutional quality in tax collection and its optimal corporate tax policies in a model of heterogeneous multinationals that can shift income using both debt and transfer prices. ...
    • Pollution decay, consumer awareness and optimal carbon taxes 

      Sandal, Leif Kristoffer; Steinshamn, Stein Ivar (Discussion paper, Working paper, 2004-02)
      The effects of non-linear decay and consumer preferences are analyzed in a setting where optimal extraction of non-renewable resources is combined with stock externalities. The control is exercised via a corrective tax and ...
    • Pooling in insurance 

      Aase, Knut K. (Discussion paper, Working paper, 2003-01)
      Risk sharing resulting in pooling of risk is considered. First pooling is discussed from the perspective of life and pension insurance. Second we take the perspective of Pareto optimal risk sharing, originating from a model ...
    • Pragmatic beliefs and overconfidence 

      Hvide, Hans K. (Discussion paper, Working paper, 2000-06)
      Several studies indicate that humans are overconfident about their own (relative) abilities. We propose a notion of pragmatic beliefs, and show through an example that this concept can shed light on why overconfidence ...
    • Precautionary Storage in Electricity Markets 

      Durmaz, Tunç (Discussion paper;5/16, Working paper, 2016-02-25)
      As renewable energy depends on meteorological shocks and is non-controllable, the overall energy production becomes riskier with the rising renewable share. Although this has led to a renewed interest in storage technologies, ...
    • Predators in the market: implications of market interaction on optimal resource management 

      Steinshamn, Stein Ivar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      A two-species bioeconomic model is analyzed, but in contrast to most similar models, there is no biological interaction between the species, only economic. The interaction takes place in the market where the quantity of ...
