Duopolistic competition under risk aversion and uncertainty
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-07-16)A monopolist typically defers entry into an industry as both price uncertainty and the level of risk aversion increase. By contrast, the presence of a rival typically hastens entry under risk neutrality. Here, we examine ... -
On Farm Conservation of Crop Genetic Resource: Declining De Facto Diversity and Optimal Funding Strategy
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Crop genetic resources (CGRs) are crucial natural resource which ensure food or livelihood security of billions of people today as well as ensure future agricultural innovations. However, the CGR diversity remaining in in ... -
An Analysis of Social Seed Network and Its Contribution to On-Farm Conservation of Crop Genetic Diversity in Nepal
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Social seed systems are important for the maintenance of crop genetic diversity on farm. This is governed by local and informal system in the community through a farmers’ network. This paper analyses these local seed ... -
The Ensemble Kalman Filter for Multidimensional Bioeconomic Models
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015) -
Maritime Shipping and Emissions: A three-layered, damage based approach
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Policy emphasis in ship design must be shifted away from global and idealized towards regional based and realistic vessel operating conditions. The present approach to reducing shipping emissions through technical standards ... -
Hvorfor kjøper bedrifter forsikring?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)De fleste bedrifter bruker forsikring som en del av sin risikostyring. For mange praktikere er dette en selvfølge, men klassiske teoretiske verk innen finans predikerer det motsatte, nemlig at bedriftene bør overlate til ... -
The tyranny puzzle in social preferences: an empirical investigation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)When forming their preferences about the distribution of income, rational people may be caught between two opposite forms of “tyranny.” Giving absolute priority to the worst-off imposes a sort of tyranny on the rest of the ... -
How electricity price spikes can help overcome the energy efficiency gap
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Using data on Google searches, I suggest that the spiky nature of electricity markets has a strong effect on searching for information on energy efficiency goods. I identify the informational effect by decomposing prices ... -
A Donsker delta functional approach to optimal insider control and applications to finance
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)We study optimal insider control problems, i.e. optimal control problems of stochastic systems where the controller at any time t, in addition to knowledge about the history of the system up to this time, also has ... -
Debt Shifting and Thin-Capitalization Rules – German Experience and Alternative Approaches
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)This paper presents the general design of thin-capitalization rules and summarizes the economic effects of such rules as identified in theoretical models. We review empirical studies providing evidence on the experience ... -
Costs and benefits of financial regulation: Short-selling bans and transaction taxes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)We quantify the effects of financial regulation in an equilibrium model with delegated portfolio manage- ment. Fund managers trade stocks and bonds in an order-driven market, subject to transaction taxes and constraints ... -
Harvest control rules in modern fisheries management
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Harvest control rules have become an important tool in modern fisheries management, and are increasingly adopted to provide continuity in management practices, to deal with uncertainty and ecosystem considerations, and to ... -
Optimal multi-dimensional stochastic harvesting with density-dependent prices
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)We prove a verification theorem for a class of singular control problems which model optimal harvesting with density-dependent prices or optimal dividend policy with capitaldependent utilities. The result is applied to ... -
Recursive utility using the stochastic maximum principle
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Motivated by the problems of the conventional model in rationalizing market data, we derive the equilibrium interest rate and risk premiums using recursive utility in a continuous-time model. We use the stochastic maximum ... -
Batteries in offshore support vessels – Pollution, climate impact and economics
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)This paper assesses the pros and the cons of installing batteries on offshore support vessels. These vessels are specially designed to provide services to oil and gas operations, such as anchor handling, supply and subsea ... -
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 ... -
Environmental regulations in shipping: Policies leaning towards globalization of scrubbers deserve scrutiny
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)ABSTRACT Emission regulations for Sulphur oxides (SOx) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) are motivated by health- and other environmental objectives in local and regional settings, while global warming concerns motivate policies ... -
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 ... -
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 global potential for carbon capture and storage from forestry
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Discussions about limiting anthropogenic emissions of CO2 often focus on transition to renewable energy sources and on carbon capture and storage (CCS) of CO2. The potential contributions from forests, forest products and ...
