Measuring the extent of technical inefficiency in Nepalese agriculture using SDF and DEA models

Media bias and news customization
(Working paper, Working paper, 2010-03)In this paper we analyze the effects of news customization (tailoring news to consumers’ political preferences) on media bias. In particular, we extend Hotelling’s duopoly location model to include news customization. ... -
Media bias, news customization and competition

Media competition when the audience dislikes advertising : a theory of vertical alliances on the internet

Media Diversity, Advertising and Net Neutrality
(Working paper;04/15, Working paper, 2015-03)In this paper, we analyze the effects of net neutrality on media diversity. We show that in the net neutrality regime, media firms al- ways provide media diversity, whereas in the no net neutrality regime, the equilibrium ... -
Media market concentration, advertising levels, and ad prices
(Working paper;2012:02, Working paper, 2012-01)Standard media economics models imply that increased platform competition decreases ad levels and that mergers reduce per-viewer ad prices. The empirical evidence, however, is mixed. We attribute the theoretical predictions ... -
Media plurality : private versus mixed duopolies
(Working paper;11/14, Working paper, 2014-09)In this paper, we analyze the effects on media plurality of competition between a private news firm that maximizes profits and a publicly owned news firm that maximizes social welfare. We show that when the costs of adapting ... -
Medier i markedet
(Arbeidsnotat, Working paper, 2006-02)Mediene utgjør en stor del av våre liv. For eksempel tilbrakte en gjennomsnitts nordmann i overkant av 19 timer per uke foran TV-apparatet i 2005. Og ifølge tall presentert hos Albarran og Arrese (2003) bruker en gjennomsnitts ... -
Merger and collusion in contests
(Working paper, Working paper, 2000-12)Competition in some product markets takes the form of a contest. If some firms cooperate in such markets, they must decide how to allocate effort on each of their products and whether to reduce the number of their products ... -
Merger simulations with observed diversion ratios
(2010:46, Working paper, 2010-09)A common approach to merger simulations used in antitrust cases is to calibrate demand from market shares and a few additional parameters. When the products involved in the merger case are differentiated along several ... -

Mergers and partial ownership

Mergers in two-sided media markets : pricing- and welfare implications

Migration policy, illegal migrants, self-selection and brain drain
(Working paper, Working paper, 2008-12)We compare two migration policies: an open migration policy, where all migrants can migrate legally; and a selective migration policy, where migrants are selected according to skills. We show that since the selective ... -
Migropolis : migration networks and formation of ethnic clusters in cities
(Working paper, Working paper, 2003-12)In this paper we extend previous models of migration networks and ethnic cluster formation by considering migration as an ethnic-community wide phenomena where established migrants strategically provide support to newcomers. ... -
Modeling demand for fishmeal using a heterogeneous estimator for panel data
(Working Paper, Working paper; Working paper, 2003-12)Increased livestock and aquaculture production can put pressure on the fishmeal market, and thus industrial fisheries stocks, since both of these sectors use fishmeal in their feeds. Data indicate that fishmeal supply has ... -
Modeling the Norwegian sea ‘pelagic complex’. An application of the ensemble kalman filter
(Working paper;07/13, Working paper, 2013-02)We have estimated the parameters of a modified logistic ecosystem model of the pelagic fish stocks in the Norwegian Sea with the Ensemble Kalman Filter. Our model only contains four parameters. The model appear to capture ... -
Modelling farmers' labour supply in CGE models
