Recursive utility using the stochastic maximum principle
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Motivated by the problems of the conventional model in rationalizing market data, we derive the equilibrium interest rate and risk premiums using recursive utility in a continuous-time model. We use the stochastic maximum ... -
Batteries in offshore support vessels – Pollution, climate impact and economics
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)This paper assesses the pros and the cons of installing batteries on offshore support vessels. These vessels are specially designed to provide services to oil and gas operations, such as anchor handling, supply and subsea ... -

Non-parametric estimation of conditional densities: A new method
(Discussion paper;22/16, Working paper, 2016-12-07)Let X = (X1,...,Xp) be a stochastic vector having joint density function fX(x) with partitions X1 = (X1,...,Xk) and X2 = (Xk+1,...,Xp). A new method for estimating the conditional density function of X1 given X2 is presented. ... -
A bridge between continuous and discrete-time bioeconomic models: Seasonality in fisheries
(Discussion paper;20/16, Working paper, 2016-11-30)We develop a discretization method for continuous-time bioeconomic models. Based on this method, we develop a discrete-time bioeconomic model to analyze seasonality in fisheries. The discretization method consists of three ... -
A Bellman approach to periodic optimization problems
(Discussion paper;19/16, Working paper, 2016-11-30)We consider an infinite horizon optimization problem with arbitrary but finite periodicity in discrete time. The problem can be formulated as a fix-point problem for a contraction operator, and we provide a solution scheme ... -
