On the choice of royalty rule to cover fixed costs in input joint ventures
(Working paper;16/13, Working paper, 2013-07)In a model where two competing downstream firms establish an input joint venture (JV), we analyze how different royalty rules for covering fixed costs affect channel profits. Under running royalties (regardless of whether ... -
On the costs and benefits of vertical integration
(Working paper, Working paper, 2003-06)We consider a setting where two upstream firms may vertically integrate or contract with a single downstream distributor. Under vertical integration the integrated firm may offer to share the downstream capacity with its ... -
On the dynamics of commercial fishing and parameter identification
(Working Paper, Working paper; Working paper, 2002-03)This paper has two main objectives. The first is to develop a dynamic model of commercial fisheries different from most existing models that assume optimizing behavior. The industry is assumed to have a well-defined index ... -
On the efficiency gains of emissions trading when climate deals are non-cooperative
(Working paper, Working paper, 2011-07)This paper studies, in a numerical environment, climate treaties with emissions trading when national quotas result from strategic individual choice. We find that the larger the number of parties to the deal, the smaller ... -
On the relationship between aquaculture and reduction fisheries
(Working paper, Working paper; Working paper, 2000-09)Traditional aquaculture has to a large extent used herbivore species with limited requirements for additional feeding. However, in intensive aquaculture production one farm carnivore species like salmon and also feeds ... -
On the workings of a cartel : evidence from the Norwegian cement industry
(Working Paper, Working paper, 2005)Using the institutional set-up of the Norwegian cement industry, in particular its sharing rule, we are able to identify the workings of a cartel in some detail. Given data on prices, production, and exports, we are able ... -
Operational expressions for the marginal cost of indirect taxation when merit arguments matter
(Working paper, Working paper, 2009-02)Marginal indirect tax reform analysis evaluates for each commodity (group) the marginal welfare cost (MC) of increasing government revenue by one Euro by raising the indirect tax rate on that commodity. In this paper, I ... -
Operational research models and the management of renewable natural resources : a review
(Working Paper, Working paper; Working paper, 2001-05)This paper reviews the role that the operational research discipline has played in the understanding and management of renewable resources in the areas of agriculture, fisheries and forestry. The analysis is undertaken ... -
Optimal age-structured harvest in a dynamic model with heterogenous capital
(Working Paper, Working paper, 2003-08)A dynamic optimization model with four state variables and two control variables is developed in order to analyze a fishery where on fleet-segment is targeting young fish and another fleet-segment is targeting older fish ... -
Optimal feedback controls : comparative evaluation of the cod fisheries in Denmark, Iceland and Norway
(Working paper, Working paper; Working paper, 2000-01)The purpose of this paper is to compare the relative efficiency of the fish harvesting policies of Iceland, Norway and Denmark. We have chosen to concentrate on the cod fishery as this is the single most important fishery ... -
Optimal fishing mortalities with age-structured bioeconomic model-a case of NEA mackerel
(Working paper;2016:6, Working paper, 2016-05)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 merverdibeskatning av mediemarkeder : en tosidig analyse
(Arbeidsnotat, Working paper, 2010-06)Våre analyser gjennomført i Hotelling- og Saloprammeverket tyder på at anvendte beskatningsregimer i mediemarkeder ikke er samfunnsmessig optimale. En lav brukerbeskatning bidrar til en høyere brukerpris, overetablering ... -
Optimal petroleum taxation subject to mobility and information constraints
(Working Paper, Working paper, 2001-10)Two recent noticeable international developments in the petroleum industry have been mergers and acquisitions, and the opening of new oil producing provinces for transnational oil companies. Both factors contribute to ... -
Optimal population and capital dynamics in fisheries with irreversible investments
(Working paper, Working paper, 2007-06)A multi-dimensional, non-linear dynamic model in continuous time is presented for the purpose of finding the optimal combination of exploitation and capital investment in optimal renewable resource management. Non-malleability ... -
Optimal tariff and ownership structure for a natural gas transportation network
(Working paper, Working paper, 2007-11)This paper discusses how the government can set transportation tariffs to induce socially optimal transportation of natural gas in a network owned by a syndicate of gas producers. In a setting where the gas is exported to ... -
Optimization in the ‘Pelagic complex’ : a multi-species competition model of North East Atlantic fisheries
(Working paper;2014:12, Working paper, 2015-03)Optimal management of herring, mackerel and blue whiting in the North East Atlantic is analyzed. The main motivation is to quantify the potential gain from implementing multi-species management compared to traditional ... -
Organisasjonsforsking i Vest-Norge : ei kartlegging av organisasjonsforsking frå Molde til Stavanger i perioden 2000-2004
(Arbeidsnotat, Working paper, 2005-04)Vi presenterer her ei oversikt over organisasjonsforskinga på Vestlandet, med vekt på perioden 2000-2004. Vi byggjer på innspel frå kontaktpersonar i fagmiljøa og eigen kunnskap (gjeld NHH/SNF, UIB). Eit tidlegare utkast ... -
Output regulation of multiproduct firms : an application of the quadratic profit function
(Working paper, Working paper, 2004-05)The paper employs the symmetric normalised quadratic (SNQ) profit function presented by Kohli (1993) to estimate for interaction effects between restricted and unrestricted outputs in firm production. Based on data for ... -
Overview, roles, and performance of the North East Atlantic fischeries commission (NEAFC)
(Working paper, Working paper, 2008-10)According to the 1995 United Nations Fish Stocks Agreement (UNFSA), straddling fish stocks and highly migratory fish stocks are to be managed by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs), consisting of coastal ... -
Patterns in the relative price for different sizes of fish : biological price generating processes in fish farming
(Working paper, Working paper; Working paper, 2000-09)Fish farming is a biological production process dependent upon biological and environmental conditions. These constraints imply that fish farmers are likely to have a quite similar distribution of different sizes of fish ...
