      Bertella, Giovanna (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Luxury gastronomy can be relevant to tourism in terms of sustainability. This study adopted the perspective of business models (BMs) as narratives to explore luxury gastronomy and sustainability in the case of a food project in Arctic Norway. This study focused on the story that drives, communicates and legitimises the project’s BM and its sustainability. The main findings suggest that the specific ...
    • The EU block exemption and horizontal R&D agreements 

      Clark, Derek John; Michalsen, Anita; Olsen, Leif Roger (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2020-09-24)
      We analyze the effect of the European Union Competition Authority’s block exemption towards R&D cooperatives in a horizontal market structure, valid as long as the combined product market share is not too large. Two less efficient firms attempt to catch up with a technological leader, and may use the safe harbour provided by the legislation. We consider when the incentives of the R&D-performing firms ...

    • Tick Size and Price Reversal after Order Imbalance 

      Sirnes, Espen; Dinh, Minh Thi Hong (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-25)
      : It is well known that intraday returns tend to reverse the following intraday period, conditional on excess buying pressure on the bid or ask side. This suggests that liquidity providers “overreact” to order imbalance (OIB) by initially altering quotes so much that a negative autocorrelation is seen in mid-price returns. We investigate under which circumstances this behavior is most common. ...
    • TIL er fange i sitt eget spill.

    • Tournaments with multi-tasking 

      Clark, Derek J.; Konrad, Kai A. (Working paper; Arbeidsnotat, 2005-08)
      The standard contest model in which participants compete in a single dimension is well understood and documented. In this paper we propose an extension in which competition ensues in several dimensions and a competitor that wins a certain number of these is awarded a prize. We look at the design of this contest from the point of view of maximizing effort in the contest (per dimension and totally), ...

    • Towards some general ecological principles 

      Wikan, Arild (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013-01-03)
      Discrete deterministic age-structured, stage-structured and difference delay equation population models are analysed and compared with respect to stability and nonstationary behaviour. All three models show that species with iteroparous life histories tend to be more stable than species with semelparous life histories which allow us to conclude that this must be a fairly general ecological ...

    • Tracking decision-making of backcountry users using GPS tracks and participant surveys 

      Hendrikx, Jordy; Johnson, Jerry; Mannberg, Andrea (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-03)
      Snow avalanches are a significant natural hazard representing the primary risk of death to backcountry travelers in many alpine countries. Careful use of backcountry terrain through effective decision making can mitigate the risk of dangerous snowpack conditions, but requires relevant knowledge and experience. We present the results from a large-scale crowd sourced data collection method from ...
    • Trade volume affects bitcoin energy consumption and carbon footprint 

      Sarkodie, Samuel Asumadu; Yakubu, Maruf Ahmed; Leirvik, Thomas (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-05-16)
      The environmental sustainability of bitcoin is making waves in the empirical literature, yet, no study has thus far examined the financial determinants of bitcoin energy consumption and carbon footprint. Here, we use novel estimation methods comprising dynamic ARDL simulations and general-to-specific VAR to examine steady-state effects, cumulative impulse-response, and counterfactual shocks of bitcoin ...
    • Trading Time Seasonality in Commodity Futures: An Opportunity for Arbitrage in the Natural Gas and Crude Oil Markets? 

      Ewald, Christian Oliver; Haugom, Erik; Lien, Gudbrand; Størdal, Ståle; Wu, Yuexiang (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-29)
      In this paper we investigate energy futures contracts and the presence of a type of seasonality, that has been given very little to no attention in the literature – we call it trading time seasonality. Such seasonality is exposed through the futures trading time, not its maturity time, nor the underlying spot price. As we show, it can be linked to seasonality in the pricing kernel, but the latter ...
    • Trading Time Seasonality in Electricity Futures 

      Størdal, Ståle; Ewald, Christian Oliver; Lien, Gudbrand; Haugom, Erik (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-10-12)
      Trading time seasonality reflects the seasonal behavior of futures prices with the same time of maturity. Hence, it differs from classical seasonality, which reflects seasonal behavior induced by the spot price observed for varying maturities. This type of seasonality is linked to the pricing kernel which in turn accounts for seasonal changes in preferences of agents and tied to risk aversion and ...
    • Transgenerational Health Effects of In Utero Exposure to Economic Hardship: Evidence from Preindustrial Southern Norway 

      Sari, Emre; Moilanen, Mikko; Sommerseth, Hilde Leikny (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12)
      We studied whether in utero exposure to economic hardship during a grandmother's pregnancy has a transgenerational effect on her grandchildren's health condition. We used an individual-level three-generation data set covering people born between 1734 and 1840 in the municipality of Rendalen in Norway. We found a culling effect in which grandchildren whose grandmothers gave birth in years of economic ...
