Health anxiety is an important driver of healthcare use
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-02-02)Background: Healthcare use is increasing, and health anxiety (HA) is recognized as an important associated factor. Previous research on the association between HA and healthcare use has mostly explored HA as a dichotomous construct, which contrasts the understanding of HA as a continuous construct, and compared healthcare use to non-use. There is a need for studies that examine the association ... -
Rent Generation Under the Norwegian Rights-Based Pelagic Fishery
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-03-01)As a general rule, only active fishermen can own fishing boats for commercial fishing in Norway. Thus, vertical integration is not allowed. Accordingly, the Norwegian empirical context is exceptionally well suited to study actual rent creation as a potential resource rent can only accrue to the catch stage of the value chain. This paper examines profitability and rent generation of 35 seagoing ... -
