In this paper, ... -
Cod farming at the intersection of fisheries and aquaculture
Aarset, Bernt; Standal, Dag; Asche, Frank (Working paper, Working paper; Working paper, 2000-12)Over the past three decades, the powerful combination of capital, research, and promising prospects has propelled salmon aquaculture to a mature, billion dollar, worldwide industry. Aquaculture entrepreneurs now search for ... -
Competition between farmed and wild salmon : the Japanese salmon market
Asche, Frank; Guttormsen, Atle G.; Sebulonsen, Tom; Sissener, Elin Helene (Working paper, Working paper, 2003-12)This paper examines the Japanese market for salmon. This market is of interest since it is the largest and most diversified salmon market in the world with wild and farmed species, from Europe and South and North America, ... -
Confidence intervals for the shrinkage estimator
Nilsen, Odd Bjarte; Asche, Frank; Tveterås, Ragnar (Working paper, Working paper, 2005-08)Shrinkage estimators have recently become popular in estimation of heterogeneous models on panel data. In this chapter we show that the estimated covariance matrix in the posterior distribution of the shrinkage estimator ... -
Demand characteristics for imported cod products in Portugal frozen, salted & dried and salted
Asche, Frank; Gordon, Daniel V. (Working paper;2015:9, Working paper, 2015-09)The demand function represents the fundamental building block in economics and provides important information for investment and policy purposes. The aim of this paper is to characterize and measure the demand structure ... -
Demand equations with some nonstationary variables : the demand for farmed and wild salmon in Japan
Asche, Frank; Wessells, Cathy Roheim (Working Paper, Working paper; Working paper, 2002-06)There seems to be substantial evidence in favor of treating price series as nonstationary. There are also strong arguments for treating expenditure shares as stationary. With this structure in the data, it is generally not ... -
Demand structure for fish
Asche, Frank; Bjørndal, Trond; Gordon, Daniel V. (Working paper, Working paper, 2005-08)During the last decades, there has been virtually an explosion in the number of studies of the demand structure for seafood markets. The most common approach is demand analysis, where demand equations are estimated either ... -
Derived demand and price relationships : an analysis of the Norwegian cod sector
Asche, Frank; Flaaten, Ola; Isaksen, John R.; Vassdal, Terje (Working Paper, Working paper; Working paper, 2001-08)In this paper we note that when there is only one variable factor in the intermediaries' production technology, prices will move proportional to each other over time. This is also the only general condition under which the ... -
High oil prices : a non-OPEC capacity game
Osmundsen, Petter; Asche, Frank; Misund, Bård; Mohn, Klaus (Working paper, Working paper, 2005-08)The current high oil price is partly due to low investments in the oil industry the last decade. According to economic theory, exploration and development of new oil and gas fields should respond positively to increasing ... -
Lead lag relationships between futures and spot prices
Asche, Frank; Guttormsen, Atle G. (Working Paper, Working paper, 2002-01)In this paper we examine the relationship between spot and futures prices. This is traditionally done by testing for cointegration with the Engle and Granger methodology, before one specifes an error correction models in ... -
Market interactions for aquaculture products
Asche, Frank; Bjørndal, Trond; Young, James A. (Working Paper, Working paper; Working paper, 2001-03)During the last two decades there has been a tremendous growth in the production of intensively farmed fish. This growth has been accompanied by a substantial reduction in prices. As this enhances the competitiveness of ... -
Natural gas demand in the European household sector
Nilsen, Odd Bjarte; Asche, Frank; Tveterås, Ragnar (Working paper, Working paper, 2005-08)This paper analyzes the residential natural gas demand per capita in 12 European countries using a dynamic loglinear demand model, which allows for country-specific elasticity estimates in the short and long run. The ... -
On the relationship between aquaculture and reduction fisheries
Asche, Frank; Tveterås, Sigbjørn (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 ... -
Output regulation of multiproduct firms : an application of the quadratic profit function
Jensen, Carsten Lynge; Asche, Frank; Gordon, Daniel V. (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 ... -
Patterns in the relative price for different sizes of fish : biological price generating processes in fish farming
Asche, Frank; Guttormsen, Atle G. (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 ... -
PCAIDS and growth index demand modelling for imported cod products in Portugal : ‘Special issue – fisheries and aquaculture’

Price transmission in cross boundary value chains
Asche, Frank; Menezes, Rui; Dias, Joaõ Ferreira (Working paper, Working paper; Working paper, 2003-01)The extent to which demand and supply shocks are transmitted in the value chain is an important topic. As many value chains cross international borders exchange rate pass through is an important element in this context. ... -
