      Falk, Martin; Tveteraas, Sigbjørn Landazuri; Xie, Jinghua (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-13)
      The number of economics-related articles in the Scandinavian Journal of Hospitality and Tourism (SJHT) has recently increased considerably. Despite this increase, the research efforts of Nordic economists on tourism issues have lagged behind in an international comparison. The recent increase in the number of economics-related publications in SJHT is due to better access to microdata (individual and ...

Managers practiced in a variety of ways rather than according to a ...
    • Absorptive capacity and energy efficiency in manufacturing firms – An empirical analysis in Norway 

      Solnørdal, Mette Talseth; Thyholdt, Sverre Braathen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-07-02)
      Increased energy efficiency (EE) in manufacturing firms is important for confronting climate challenges. However, the information barrier is considered a major restriction on EE innovation. Building on the theory of absorptive capacity and the current EE literature, we argue that this barrier relates to firms' ability to assimilate and exploit information. Thus, this study's objective is to analyse ...

    • Accumulated marine pollution and fishery dynamics 

      Bergland, Harald; Pedersen, Pål Andreas; Wyller, John Andreas (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-04-05)
      We analyze the possible impacts of pollution on a fishery by means of a dynamical systems theory approach. The proposed model presupposes that activities stimulating economic growth also cause higher emissions that remediate or accumulate in the oceans. The density of pollution is assumed to affect the fishery negatively by reducing biological growth potential and decreasing marginal willingness to ...

      Jansson, Johan; Pettersson, Thomas; Mannberg, Andrea; Brännlund, Runar; Lindgren, Urban (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-07)
      During the last years, many governments have set targets for increasing the share of biofuels in the transportation sector. Understanding consumer behavior is essential in designing policies that efficiently increase the uptake of cleaner technologies. In this paper we analyze adopters and non-adopters of alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs). We use diffusion of innovation theory and the established ...
    • Aktive turister gir verdier 

      Prebensen, Nina Katrine (Chronicle; Kronikk, 2013-06-20)
      Reiselivsnæringen i Norge forteller at turistene bruker mindre penger. Undersøkelser viser at turistene synes Norge er ensformig, kjedelig, og dyrt. Hva gjør norgesferien variert, spennende og verdifull? Hva gir valuta for pengene? Det å forstå hvordan verdier skapes i opplevelsesbransjene er grunnleggende for økt lønnsomhet, konkurransekraft og bærekraftighet. Opplevelsesindustrien blir i stor ...

    • “All along the curves”: Bridging the gap between comparative statics and simultaneous econometric models 

      Brækkan, Eivind Hestvik; Myrland, Øystein (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-10-31)
      A simultaneous econometric model of supply and demand provides estimates of own-price effects and the effect of exogenous variables on supply or demand. Most of the time economists use elasticities derived from econometric analysis in a ceteris paribus context, more seldom in a total elasticity setting (Buse in J Farm Econ 40:881–891, 1958). Perhaps even more seldom net effects of exogenous changes ...
    • The all-pay auction with cross-shareholdings 

      Clark, Derek J.; Konrad, Kai A.; Riis, Christian (Working paper; Arbeidsnotat, 2007-02)
      We consider an all-pay auction between several firms under asymmetric information in which each firm owns a share in its rival. We characterize the equilibrium and show how much these cross-shareholdings serve to dampen competition. Additionally, we explain why the well known relationship between the equilibrium strategies of the standard first price and all-pay auctions breaks down in our setting.
    • Ambiguity tolerance and confusion avoidance in the intent to purchase farmed fish 

      Hoque, Mohammed Ziaul; Bashar, Mohammad Abul; Akhter, Farzana (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-18)
      Aquaculture products are presently becoming a crucial part of consumers’ diets. However, asymmetric information regarding farmed fish exposes consumers to ambiguity and often makes them confused. Therefore, this study aims to ascertain the levels of ambiguity tolerance (AT) and confusion avoidance (CA) related to farmed fish and to test if consumers’ AT and CA influence their purchase intent (PI) ...
    • An Analysis of a Semelparous Population Model with Density-Dependent Fecundity and Density - Dependent Survival Probabilities. 

      Wikan, Arild (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-12-17)
      A discrete age-structured semelparous Leslie matrix model where density dependence is included both in the fecundity and in the survival probabilities is analysed. Depending on strength of density dependence, we show in the precocious semelparous case that the nonstationary dynamics may indeed be rich, ranging from SYC (a dynamical state where the whole population is in one age class only) dynamics ...
    • An analysis of Discrete stage-structured prey and prey-predator population models. 

      Wikan, Arild (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-04-16)
      Discrete stage-structured prey and prey-predator models are considered. Regarding the former, we prove that the models at hand are permanent (i.e., the population will neither go extinct nor exhibit explosive oscillations) and, moreover, that the transfer from stability to nonstationary behaviour always goes through a supercritical Neimark−Sacker bifurcation.The prey model covers species that ...
    • Analyzing motivating functions of consumer behavior: Evidence from attention and neural responses to choices and consumption 

      Pawar, Sanchit; Fagerstrøm, Asle; Sigurdsson, Valdimar; Arntzen, Erik (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-02-09)
      Academia and business have shown an increased interest in using neurophysiological methods, such as eye-tracking and electroencephalography (EEG), to assess consumer motivation. The current research contributes to this literature by verifying whether these methods can predict the effects of antecedent events as motivating functions of attention, neural responses, choice, and consumption. Antecedent ...
