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 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 ... -
Stochastic programs with binary distributions: Structural properties of scenario trees and algorithms
(Discussion paper;12/17, Working paper, 2017-10-27)Binary random variables often refer to such as customers that are present or not, roads that are open or not, machines that are operable or not. At the same time, stochastic programs often apply to situations where penalties ... -
