Market-specific Sunk Export Costs: The Impact of Learning and Spillovers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Firms may face sunk costs when entering an export market. Previous studies have focused on global or country-specific sunk export costs. This study analyses the importance of market-specific sunk export costs (defining ... -
Optimal control of predictive mean-field equations and applications to finance
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)We study a coupled system of controlled stochastic differential equations (SDEs) driven by a Brownian motion and a compensated Poisson random measure, consisting of a forward SDE in the unknown process X(t) and a predictive ... -
Tax-adjusted Discount Rates: a General Formula under Constant Leverage Ratios
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)Cooper and Nyborg (2008) derive a tax-adjusted discount rate formula under a constant proportion leverage policy, investor taxes and risky debt. However, their analysis assumes zero recovery in default. We extend their ... -
Optimal control of systems with noisy memory and BSDEs with Malliavin derivatives
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)In this article we consider a stochastic optimal control problem where the dynamics of the state process, X(t), is a controlled stochastic differential equation with jumps, delay and noisy memory. The term noisy memory ... -
Planning for charters: A stochastic maritime fleet composition and deployment problem
(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 ... -
A Maximum Principle for Mean-Field SDEs with Time Change
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Time change is a powerful technique for generating noises and providing flexible models. In the framework of time changed Brownian and Poisson random measures we study the existence and uniqueness of a solution to a ... -
A Donsker delta functional approach to optimal insider control and applications to finance
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)We study optimal insider control problems, i.e. optimal control problems of stochastic systems where the controller at any time t, in addition to knowledge about the history of the system up to this time, also has ... -
Oil Prices and the Renewable Energy Sector
(Discussion paper;15/17, Working paper, 2017-11-14)Energy security, climate change, and growing energy demand issues are moving up on the global political agenda, and contribute to the rapid growth of the renewable energy sector. In this paper we investigate the effects ... -
The effects of a day off from retail price competition : evidence on consumer behavior and firm performance in gasoline retailing
(Working paper;2017:11, Working paper, 2017-08)First, we analyze how regular days off from competition and a time-dependent price pattern affect firm performance. Second, we examine the effects on firms’ profitability from consumers’ changing search- and timing behavior. ... -
Tilknytningsformer for arbeid : virksomhetsstudien
(Arbeidsnotat;2017:7, Working paper, 2017-06)Dette notatet er en underveisrapportering fra et prosjekt om tilknytningsformer i arbeidslivet. Prosjektet er et samarbeidsprosjekt mellom Fafo (hovedansvarlig) og SNF, og er finansiert av Arbeids- og sosialdepartementet. ... -
Coalition formation with externalities : the case of the Northeast Atlantic mackerel fishery in a pre and post brexit context
(Working paper;2017:12, Working paper, 2017-10)In this paper we apply the so-called partition function approach to study coalition formation in the North-east Atlantic mackerel fishery in the presence of externalities. Atlantic mackerel is mainly exploited by the ... -
Individuelle priser i dagligvaremarkedet : et fangens dilemma for kjedene?
(Arbeidsnotat;2017:4, Working paper, 2017-06)Bedrifter har fått større mulighet til å samle informasjon om hver enkelt kunde. I dagligvaremarkedet samler kjedene informasjon om hvor og hva vi handler. NorgesGruppen og Coop har i mange år hatt rabattprogrammer hvor ... -
Building conditions in Norwegian local governments : trends and determinants
(Working paper;2017:13, Working paper, 2017-10)In light of evidence of low levels of maintenance of public buildings, we investigate trends and determinants of public building conditions in Norwegian local governments. On average, the condition of Norwegian local public ... -
Upstream partnerships among competitors when size matters
(Working paper;2017:6, Working paper, 2017-06)In several industries, downstream competitors form upstream partnerships. An important rationale is that higher aggregate upstream volume might generate efficiencies that reduce both fixed and marginal costs. Our focus is ... -
The effect of industrial diversification on banks’ performance : a case study of the Norwegian banking market
(Working paper;2017:9, Working paper, 2017-06)By attracting deposits from savers and offering financing to borrowers, banks play an important role in the economy. Which strategic approach banks ought to pursue for optimizing performance and hence contribute to financial ... -
The impact of regional environmental regulations on empirical vessel speeds
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Economic theory suggests that the use of more expensive low-sulphur fuel within an Emission Control Area (ECA) should result in lower vessel speeds. The objective of this paper is to investigate empirically, for the first ... -
Raising rivals’ costs or improving efficiency? : an exploratory study of managers’ views on backward integration in the grocery market
(Working paper;2017:5, Working paper, 2017-06)Large retail grocery chains’ backward integration into distribution, procurement and production is controversial, and has received a lot of attention by both policymakers and market players. If a large retail chain for ... -
