• Optimal Insurance Policies in the Presence of Costs 

      Aase, Knut Kristian (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      We reconsider costs in insurance, and suggest a new type of cost function, which we argue is a natural choice when there are relatively small, but frequent, claims. If a fixed cost is incurred each time a claim is made, ...

    • Påvirker kjønn forhandlinger? 

      Schei, Vidar; Rognes, Jørn Kjell (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Det synes å være en utbredt oppfatning at kvinner er dårlige til å forhandle. Nyere internasjonal forskning viser imidlertid at det er små forskjeller mellom kvinner og menn. Og det avgjørende er hvorvidt forhandlingssituasjonen ...
    • Planning for charters: A stochastic maritime fleet composition and deployment problem 

      Wang, Xin; Fagerholt, Kjetil; Wallace, Stein W. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)
      This paper introduces a chartering problem that arises in the shipping industry. The chartering decisions determine the time-charter contracts to enter into, in particular, how many ships of each type to charter in, and ...
    • Positive uncertainty: the benefit of the doubt in advertising 

      Ketelaar, Paul; Van'T Riet, Jonathan; Thorbjørnsen, Helge; Buijzen, Moniek (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Positive uncertainty refers to uncertainty surrounding an anticipated positive outcome. It provides consumers with the opportunity to imagine and speculate on a product’s or experience’s potentially positive characteristics. ...
    • Predators in the market: implications of market interaction on optimal resource management 

      Steinshamn, Stein Ivar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      A two-species bioeconomic model is analyzed, but in contrast to most similar models, there is no biological interaction between the species, only economic. The interaction takes place in the market where the quantity of ...

    • Priceless: The nonpecuniary benefits of schooling 

      Salvanes, Kjell Gunnar; Oreopoulos, Philip (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)
      Increasing wealth provides key motivation for students to forgo earnings and struggle through exams. But, as we argue in this paper, schooling generates many experiences and affects many dimensions of skill that, in turn, ...
    • Problem-driven scenario generation: an analytical approach for stochastic programs with tail risk measure 

      Fairbrother, Jamie; Turner, Amanda; Wallace, Stein William (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Scenario generation is the construction of a discrete random vector to represent parameters of uncertain values in a stochastic program. Most approaches to scenario generation are distribution-driven, that is, they attempt ...
    • Progress in the R ecosystem for representing and handling spatial data 

      Bivand, Roger S. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Twenty years have passed since Bivand and Gebhardt (J Geogr Syst 2(3):307–317, 2000. https://doi.org/10.1007/PL00011460) indicated that there was a good match between the then nascent open-source R programming language ...

      Almås, Ingvild; Kjelsrud, Anders Grøn (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)
      It is well known that consumption patterns change with income. Relative price changes would therefore affect rich and poor consumers differently. Yet, the standard price indices are not income-specific, and hence, they ...
