As immigration levels increase in Norway, there has been a growing concern of whether jobs of native workers are being taken by immigrants. Another issue is: does an increase in labour supply (as a result of immigration) lead to a fall in wages of native workers? These two concerns have been at the centre of most policy debates in recent year. This thesis provides a blueprint on how research on the ...

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 ...

<i>Purpose</i> - Previous research suggests that self-presentation causes people to have a reflective tendency to produce electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM). Drawing on the theory of the reflective-impulsive model (RIM), this paper aims to examine whether self-presentation also could motivate an impulsive tendency to produce eWOM. Self-monitoring is suggested as a possible moderator in the relationship ...

The present study investigated the link between consideration of immediate and future consequences (CFC-I and CFC-F), and perceived change in the future self (PCFS) to healthy and unhealthy behaviors. Furthermore, we explored the moderation effect of PCFS on the relationship between CFC-I and CFC-F and health behaviors. We observed that CFC-I was linked to unhealthy behaviors, whereas CFC-F was ...

Furthermore, the study explores whether the models are sustainable based on their performance over almost ...

Våren 2018 gjorde en ny personvernlov, General Data Protection Regulation sitt inntog og ble gjeldende for alle organisasjoner i EU. Loven skal bidra til at kundenes personopplysninger ivaretas på best mulig måte gjennom sikker og trygg innsamling, behandling, lagring og sending. Loven medfører derfor at organisasjoner er nødt til å endre rutiner og arbeidsmetoder. En organisasjonsendring slik som ...

Increased fish consumption can contribute to a more sustainable food system. This paper explores how signaling affects consumer choices in fresh fish purchasing situations, both in traditional and online retail settings. We examined two different types of market signals; quality signals stemming from consumers as a social proof and authority signals coming from stores. Study 1 showed that quality ...
