Fishing on cold water coral reefs : A bioeconomic model of habitat-fishery connections
(Working paper; Arbeidsnotat, 2008-11)
This paper applies a bioeconomic model in order to study different interactions
between a harvested renewable resource and a non-renewable resource without
commercial value that is negatively affected by the harvesting activity. This
enables the analysis of for instance cold water coral habitats and their importance
to commercial fish species. The fish is harvested either in a manner that does ...
Regional policy analysis in a simple NEG model with vertical linkages.
(Working paper; Arbeidsnotat, 2008-03)
The paper presents a simple three-region, two-sector general equilibrium model that is used for analysing the
effect of regional tax policies. The model includes exogenous asymmetry in terms of transport costs as well as a
vertical industry structure that can account for endogenous location development in order to distinguish between
the effect of ‘first nature’ and ‘second nature’ on the required ...
Managerial Incentives for Technology Transfer
(Working paper; Arbeidsnotat, 2008-03-27)
This paper studies how a separation of ownership and management
affects a firm’s incentives to transfer knowledge about technology to
a rival in a Cournot duopoly. We consider a three-stage strategic
delegation game, where there are two technologies available; one with
increasing returns to scale and the other with constant returns to scale.
Whilst the former is known to both firms, only the ...
Contingent payments in selection contests
(Working paper; Arbeidsnotat, 2005-04)
The early literature on research contests stressed the advantages of a fixed
prize in inspiring R&D effort. More recently the focus has moved towards endogenizing
the rewards to research activity in these tournament settings, since this can induce extra
effort or enhance the surplus of the buyer. We focus on a research contest as a means of
selecting a partner for an R&D enterprise, in an ...
The translog neoclassical growth model
(Working paper; Arbeidsnotat, 2004-03)
The macroeconomic growth equation based on the translog aggregate production function is derived and compared to the growth equation based on Cobb-Douglas both with and without human capital. The model is estimated directly in structural form, using international panel data. Results are compared to the Cobb-Douglas case and a conventional fixed effect model.
Sequential Bargaining with Public Intervention: The Optimal Subsidy Path
(Working paper; Arbeidsnotat, 2008-10)
Models of sequential bargaining under asymmetric information often exhibit
equilibria which are characterised by the fact that agreement is reached only with
a delay and that the final (period) solution is ex ante inefficient. The latter means
that agreement is not reached though it is efficient (aggregate pay off exceeds
aggregate costs). In this paper we analyse how intervention by a third ...
Marine reserves. A bio-economic model with asymmetric density dependent migration
(Working paper; Arbeidsnotat, 2004-10)
A static bioeconomic model of a marine reserve is introduced, allowing asymmetric
density dependent migration between the reserve and the fishable area. This allows for
habitat or ecosystem differences within and outside a reserve not described in earlier
studies. Four scenarios are studied; a) maximum harvest, b) maximum current profit, c)
open access and d) maximum sustainable yield (MSY) in ...
Bargaining with asymmetric externalities
(Working paper; Arbeidsnotat, 2007-02)
We consider sequential bargaining between three firms that are all
essential in creating a surplus. One of the firms is dominant in the
sense that it ultimately decides whether the surplus will be created.
The other firms have an incentive to get a large share of the pie for
themselves, but leaving enough for the dominant firm that it finds it
profitable to create the surplus. Hence, the smaller ...
On the economics of ecological nuisance
(Working paper; Arbeidsnotat, 2005-03)
This paper analyses the economics of pest and nuisance relating to wild animals. It studies
stylised models where wild animals represent a direct nuisance to agricultural production
through grazing and crop damage. Such damage is particularly relevant in poor rural
communities, where people are dependent on livestock and crop production and at the same
time are living close to nature and wildlife. ...
