    • Prey-Predator Interactions in Two and Three Species Population Models 

      Wikan, Arild; Kristensen, Ørjan (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-02-17)
      Discrete nonlinear two and three species prey-predator models are considered. Focus is on stability and nonstationary behaviour. Regarding the two species model, depending on the fecundity of the predator, we show that the transfer from stability to instability goes through either a supercritical flip or a supercritical Neimark-Sacker bifurcation and moreover that there exist multiple attractors in ...

      The importance of telemedicine technologies around the world has been growing for many years, and it turned out to be a particularly important issue for conducting some medical procedures during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. It is necessary to create interdisciplinary teams to design and implement improved procedures using telemedicine tools. The aim of the article is to develop original, improved ...
    • Producing word of mouth – a matter of self-confidence? Investigating a dual effect of consumer self-confidence on WOM 

      Wien, Anders Hauge; Olsen, Svein Ottar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-03-28)
      Several researchers emphasize the importance of consumer self-confidence in the production of word of mouth (WOM). However, most focus has been on consumer self-confidence as a positive WOM predictor, and a possible negative relationship between consumer self-confidence and WOM remains largely unexplained. Here, we aimed to elucidate the possibility of both a positive and a negative effect of ...
    • Product and process innovation in a differentiated goods duopoly 

      Clark, Derek J.; Armstrong, Claire W. (Working paper; Arbeidsnotat, 2006-09)
      This paper compares Bertrand and Cournot equilibria in a differentiated duopoly with R&D competition or cooperation, where R&D may affect both unit cost of production and the size of the market. This combination of product and process innovation is shown to allow for the reversal of some results found in earlier models that only look at one of the two types of R&D effects. We find that for a ...
    • Progress on novelty in tourism: An integration of personality, attitudinal and emotional theoretical foundations 

      Blomstervik, Ingvild; Olsen, Svein Ottar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-11)
      Novelty is often depicted as the essence of travelling and is gaining attention in the tourism literature. However, the understanding of novelty is diverse, with multiple theoretical perspectives and a lack of consensus regarding its definition and conceptualisation. This study integrates different theoretical perspectives and presents an extended analysis of the progress of novelty in tourism, ...

    • Proximity dimensions and dynamics within an organisation: experiences from a change process 

      Jørgensen, Eva Jenny B.; Olafsen, Anja Hagen; Nilsen, Etty Ragnhild (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-16)
      Proximity between actors within an organisation can be relevant for interactive learning and innovation because it promotes collaboration and knowledge exchange. However, proximity has mainly been studied as a characteristic of the relationships between actors belonging to different organisations. In this paper, a case study of a faculty at a university is used to investigate proximity within this ...
    • Quotas, marine reserves and fishing the line. When does marine reserve creation pay? 

      Reithe, Siv (Working paper; Arbeidsnotat, 2003-11)
      This paper explores the issue of using marine reserves in combination with quotas as fisheries management tools using a patchy environment model as the biological foundation. The rent generated by fishing on the total population, using optimal quotas as a management tool, is compared to the rent from the fishery when managed with quotas and a marine reserve. This is done under different assumptions ...
    • R&D and knowledge transfer strategies 

      Clark, Derek J.; Østbye, Stein E. (Working paper; Arbeidsnotat, 2007-04)
      We study the incentives for firms to share knowledge when they engage in R&D in order to make an uncertain innovation. The ini- tial stock of knowledge may be unevely distributed, and we look at how this affects the type of cooperative agreements that the firms will find it profitable to enter in to. Specifically, we consider the cases in which firms share initial knowledge only (reciprocal ...

    • Rational benevolence in small committees 

      Clark, Derek J.; Riis, Christian (Working paper; Arbeidsnotat, 2006-09)
      We consider a pie-splitting game involving three committee members. In response to the large literature on sequential procedures in this type of game, we propose an institution that is inspired by auction theory. The (sealed) bids of the players are proposals for a distribution of the pie and are given simultaneously. If any of the bids is preferred to all others in a pairwise comparison (i.e. ...
    • Re-thinking sustainability and food in tourism 

      Bertella, Giovanna (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-22)
      Now is a good time to reflect on the way food tourism could contribute to a better future. A number of scholars comment on the COVID-19 crisis as an opportunity to re-think tourism in terms of sustainability, social and ecological justice (e.g. Gössling, Scott, & Hall, 2020; Higgins-Desbiolles, 2020). Most considerations tend to focus on recovery strategies, challenges of over-tourism and highcarbon ...

    • Regional policy analysis in a simple NEG model with vertical linkages. 

      Østbye, Stein (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 ...
