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.

Income mobility as an equalizer of permanent income
Discussion Papers no. 769
Rolf Aaberge og Magne MogstadPublisert:
Do market-orientated economies with relatively large cross-sectional levels of inequality have higher income mobility and therefore less permanent inequality? To answer this question, we introduce a formal representation of income mobility as an equalizer of permanent income.

Diffusion of climate technologies in the presence of commitment problems
Discussion Papers no. 768
Taran Fæhn og Elisabeth Thuestad IsaksenPublisert:

Discussion Papers no. 766
Venke Furre Haaland og Kjetil TellePublisert:
Using variation across geographical regions, a number of studies from the U.S. and other developed countries have found more deaths in economic upturns and less deaths in economic downturns. We use data from regions in Norway for 1977-2008 and find the same procyclical patterns.

A theory for ranking distribution functions
Discussion Papers no. 763
Rolf Aaberge, Tarjei Havnes og Magne MogstadPublisert:
When is one distribution (of income, consumption, or some other economic variable) more equal or better than another? This question has proven difficult to answer in situations where distribution functions intersect and no unambiguous ranking can be attained without introducing weaker criteria than second-degree stochastic dominance.

Discussion Papers no. 762
Rolf Aaberge, Anthony B. Atkinson og Jørgen ModalsliPublisert:
This paper is concerned with the question of whether top income earners are permanently there or only temporarily receive the highest incomes.

Does more involved fathering imply a double burden for fathers in Norway?
Discussion Papers no. 753

The cost-of-living index with trade barriers
