Discussion papers
Discussion papers presenterer forskningsstoff som sikter mot å ende opp som en internasjonal publikasjon og distribueres for kommentarer og forslag.
Et Discussion paper kan være lengre og fyldigere enn det som er vanlig for en artikkel ved at blant annet ugjennomsiktige mellomrekninger, resultater og bakgrunnsmateriale blir inkludert.

Resource Rent in Norwegian Fisheries
Discussion Papers no. 827
Lars Lindholt, Kristine Grimsrud og Mads GreakerPublisert:
A nation’s natural-resources wealth can be estimated via the System of National Accounts (SNA). Because the values of all parameters entering the calculation are conditional on the existing management regime, the optimal value of the natural resources may be masked.

Residential energy efficiency and European carbon policies
Discussion Papers no. 817
Taran Fæhn, Orvika Rosnes og Brita ByePublisert:
While the introduction and reformation of climate policy instruments take place rapidly in Europe, the knowledge on how the instruments interact lags behind. In this paper we analyse different interpretations of the 2030 climate policy goals for residential energy efficiency and how they interact with targets for restricting CO 2 emissions.

School accountability: Incentives or sorting?
Discussion Papers no. 815
Trude Gunnes og Hege Marie GjefsenPublisert:
We exploit a nested school accountability reform to estimate the causal effect on teacher mobility, sorting, and student achievement. In 2003, lower-secondary schools in Oslo became accountable to the school district authority for student achievement. In 2005, information on school performance in lower secondary education also became public

Crime and the transition to teenage parenthood
Discussion Papers no. 812
Carine Øien-Ødegaard og Torbjørn SkardhamarPublisert:
