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.

Productivity dispersion and measurement errors
Discussion Papers no. 869
Thomas von Brasch, Diana-Cristina Iancu and Terje SkjerpenPublisert:
We outline a novel procedure to identify the role of measurement errors in explaining the empirical dispersion in productivity across establishments.

Exact and inexact decompositions of international price indices
Discussion Papers no. 868
Pål BougPublisert:
Decompositions of international price indices are usually inexact in the sense that the underlying aggregator formula is not exactly reproduced.
-
The efficient combination of taxes on fuel and vehicles
Discussion Papers no. 867
Geir H. M. BjertnæsPublisert:
A tax on fuel combined with tax-exemptions or subsidies for purchase of fuel-efficient vehicles is implemented in many countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other negative externalities from road traffic.

Churning in thick labor markets
Discussion Papers no. 866
Stefan LeknesPublisert:
Using a very large comprehensive matched employer-employee panel of the Norwegian workforce (19 million observations), I find a higher likelihood of job change across sectors and occupations, namely labor churning, in populous areas.

Match quality in housing transactions
Discussion Papers no. 865
Erlend Eide BøPublisert:
Match quality, the part of housing value to the buyer which is unique for each buyer-house match, is important in several housing market matching models, but measuring it is difficult for an econ-ometrician.

Regulation in the presence of adjustment costs and resource scarcity: transition dynamics and intertemporal effects
Discussion Papers no. 864
Publisert:
Announcement of future environmental regulation is likely to reduce current emissions in the combined presence of resource scarcity and adjustment costs.
-
Optimal location of renewable power
Discussion Papers no. 862
Henrik Bjørnebye, Cathrine Hagem, and Arne LindPublisert:
A decarbonization of the energy sector calls for large new investments in renewable energy production. When choosing the location for increased production capacity, the producer has typically limited incentives to take fully into account the investments costs of the subsequent need for increased grid capacity.

Immigration and the Dutch disease
Discussion Papers no. 860
Ådne Cappelen and Torbjørn EikaPublisert:
The EU-enlargement in 2004 increased labour migration and affected the Norwegian labour market in particular. We study how this modified the Dutch disease effects during the resource boom 2004- 2013.
-
Identifying fertility contagion using random fertility shocks
Discussion Papers no. 861
Sara Cools and Rannveig Kaldager HartPublisert:
Does the fertility behavior of one individual affect the fertility choices of another? This study aims to estimate fertility contagion net of unobserved heterogeneity, using sibling networks as an empirical example.
-
Life expectancy and claiming behavior in a flexible pension system
Discussion Papers no. 859
Christian N. Brinch, Dennis Fredriksen, Ola VestadPublisert:
We study the relationship between early claiming of pensions and incentives in the highly flexible Norwegian public pension system, measuring incentives to claim based on an estimated model for expected longevity.

Long term impacts of class size in compulsory school
Discussion Papers no. 858
Edwin Leuven and Sturla A. LøkkenPublisert:
How does class size in compulsory school affect peoples’ long run education and earnings?
-
Labor supply analysis with non-convex Budget sets without the Hausman approach
Discussion Papers no. 857
John K. Dagsvik and Steinar StrømPublisert:
When the budget set is non-convex the application of the Hausman approach to estimate labor supply functions will in general be cumbersome because labor supply no longer depends solely on marginal criteria (first order conditions).
-
Phasing out coal and phasing in renewables – good or bad news for arctic gas producers?
Discussion Papers no. 856
Lars Lindholt and Solveig GlomsrødPublisert:
This paper examines to what extent downscaling of global coal based electricity generation encourages gas demand and affects regional activity in gas production, with emphasis on the arctic regions.
-
Closing the gender gap in pensions. A microsimulation analysis of the Norwegian NDC pension system
Discussion Papers no. 855
Elin Halvorsen and Axel West PedersenPublisert:
In this paper we use an advanced micro-simulation model to study the distributional effects of the reformed Norwegian pension system with a particular focus on gender equality.
-
The path of labor supply adjustment: Sources of lagged responses to tax-benefit reforms
Discussion Papers no. 854
Zhiyang Jia and Trine E. VattøPublisert:
The standard static labor supply model ignores that it takes time for individuals to adjust to a tax-benefit reform.
-
Heterogeneity of the Carnegie Effect
Discussion Papers no. 853
Erlend E. Bø, Elin Halvorsen and Thor O. ThoresenPublisert:
The Carnegie effect (Holtz-Eakin, Joualfaian and Rosen, 1993) refers to the idea that inherited wealth harms recipient’s work efforts, and possesses a key role in the discussion of taxation of intergenerational transfers.
-
MPC heterogeneity and household balance sheets
Discussion Papers no. 852
Andreas Fagereng, Martin B. Holm and Gisle J. NatvikPublisert:
Using Norwegian administrative data, we study how sizable lottery prizes affect household expenditure and savings.
-
Problematic response margins in the estimation of the elasticity of taxable income
Discussion Papers no. 851
Kristoffer Berg and Thor O. ThoresenPublisert:
The elasticity of taxable income (ETI) is known to represent a summary measure of tax efficiency costs, which means that further information about the behavioral components of the ETI is not required for its use in tax policy design.

Multigenerational persistence: Evidence from 146 years of administrative data
Discussion Papers no. 850
Jørgen ModalsliPublisert:
This paper uses Norwegian census data on occupational associations among grandfathers, fathers and sons from 1865 to 2011 and finds significant grandparental influence throughout the period.
