• Buying power in UK retail chains : a residual supply approach 

      Asche, Frank; Nøstbakken, Linda; Tveterås, Sigbjørn (Working paper, Working paper, 2006-11)
      The development of supermarket chains has led to substantial concentration in food supply chains, and has raised concerns not only that these companies can exploit oligopoly power, but also oligopsony power. In this paper, ...
    • Capacity adjustment and drivers of investment in a fishery with tradable output quotas 

      Nøstbakken, Linda (Working paper, Working paper, 2009-03)
      In this study, I analyse what drives investment and capital development, and hence the development of fishing capacity in a well-managed fishery. An empirical analysis of drivers of firm-level investment in the Norwegian ...
    • Capacity and compliance in quota regulated industries 

      Lazkano, Itziar; Nøstbakken, Linda (Working paper, Working paper, 2010-10)
      Production quotas can restore efficiency in industries characterized by production externalities, such as resource industries and industries with environmental regulations. However, with imperfect quota enforcement, firms ...
    • Cost structure and capacity in the Norwegian pelagic fisheries 

      Nøstbakken, Linda (Working paper, Working paper, 2004-11)
      The parameters of the short-run cost function are estimated for three vessel types taking part in the Norwegian pelagic fisheries: purse seine vessels, trawlers, and coastal vessels. The generalised translog functional ...
    • Eierskap i norsk oppdrettsnæring 

      Nøstbakken, Linda; Selle, Simon Flatebø (Working paper, 2019-11)
      Denne rapporten studerer eierskapet i norsk oppdrettsnæring i perioden 2015 til 2018. Hensikten er å kartlegge andelen av produksjonskapasitet i norsk oppdrettsnæring som eies av norske og utenlandske aktører. Utgangspunktet ...
    • Fishermen’s compliance : a dynamic model 

      Nøstbakken, Linda (Working paper, Working paper, 2006-11)
      In this paper, a dynamic model of fishermen's compliance is developed and used to analyse several issues. There are two parties involved in the fishery; the regulator and the fishermen. The regulator takes on a long term ...
    • Market based supply of North Sea herring and Icelandic cod 

      Bjørndal, Trond; Nøstbakken, Linda (Working Paper, Working paper, 2005-11)
      A continuous-time bioeconomic model is developed and used to derive open-access and optimal management supply curves. Long-run equilibrium supply curves are estimated based on data for two fisheries: North Sea herring and ...
    • Multi-jurisdiction quota enforcement for transboundary renewable resources 

      Beard, Rodney; Nøstbakken, Linda (Working paper, Working paper, 2010-06)
      Many renewable resources, such as fish stocks, water or environmental quality, are shared between different countries. The management of such resources then relies on international agreements. We develop a model of a shared ...
    • Quota enforcement in resource industries : self reporting and differentiated inspections 

      Hansen, Lars Gårn; Jensen, Frank; Nøstbakken, Linda (Working paper, Working paper, 2010-06)
      Individual quotas are a dominant instrument in the management of common pool renewable resources like fisheries. However, there is concern about the basic effectiveness of quota regulation due to widespread non-compliance. ...
    • Regime switching in a fishery with stochastic stock and price 

      Nøstbakken, Linda (Working paper, Working paper, 2004-11)
      We develop a bioeconomic model of a fishery subject to stock uncertainty and price uncertainty. With a linear control model, the optimal harvest policy is a bang-bang approach to the optimal stock level, where one harvests ...
    • Stochastic feedback policies under alternative management regimes 

      Nøstbakken, Linda (Working paper, Working paper, 2004-02)
      A discrete-time stochastic bioeconomic model is developed and used to analyse the North Sea herring fishery under alternative management regimes. The analysis focuses on how catches and harvesting policies change with the ...
    • Supply functions for North Sea herring 

      Nøstbakken, Linda; Bjørndal, Trond (Working Paper, Working paper; Working paper, 2002-10)
      A discrete time bioeconomic model is developed and used to derive supply curves for the open access and the optimally managed fisheries. Supply curves are estimated based on data for the North Sea herring fishery. Different ...
