(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-09)We examined the effect of emotions, associated with “powder fever”, on decision-making in avalanche terrain. Background: Skiing in avalanche terrain is a voluntary activity that exposes the participant to potentially fatal risk. Impaired decision-making in this context can therefore have devastating results, often with limited prior corrective feedback and learning opportunities. Previous research ... -

Increasing the effectiveness of ecological food signaling: Comparing sustainability tags with eco-labels
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-10-30)The effectiveness of eco-labels has dominated research on food signaling. Building on signaling theory, we investigate the impact of sustainability tags–unverified sustainability claims–compared to eco-labels–actual awarded eco-certificates–on consumer choice and the willingness to pay (WTP). We add to the underdeveloped “non eco-labels” literature on sustainability signaling by documenting that a ... -
Scraping the bottom of the barrel? Evidence on social mobility and internal migration from rural areas in nineteenth-century Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-11)We aim to answer whether expected occupational gains motivated rural-urban and rural-rural migration in nineteenth-century Norway. Human capital theory indicates that the higher expected gains, the more prone an individual will be to migrate. We use a micro-level data set of over 42,000 rural sons linked to their fathers based on 1865 and 1900 Norwegian censuses and employ a switching endogenous ... -
Consumers’ Willingness to Pay (WTP) for Organically Farmed Fish in Bangladesh
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-15)This study aims to assess the market potential for organically farmed shrimp. The rank-ordered logit model was employed to investigate consumer perceptions; the findings reveal that consumers prefer organic shrimp from mariculture, and inland-farmed shrimp to the coastal version. The willingness to pay (WTP) for conventional shrimp amongst consumers with low knowledge is less than that for organic ... -

Suicidal tendencies have been on the rise. Feelings of isolation causing emotional distress in place-confined settings have put additional pressure on the healthcare systems demanding ... -
Group bargaining in supply chains
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-10)We consider a vertical supply chain in which a monopoly retailer produces a good by assembling a number of essential components each of which is owned by a monopoly. Rather than making the common assumption that the component price is set in the same way for each owner, we investigate the possibility that the retailer may profit by bargaining with some owners in a group, whilst others set their ... -

Parliamentary proceedings have increasingly been recognized as an important source of information for eliciting political issues. In this paper, we use unsupervised text mining techniques to analyze parliamentary speeches for Norway from the period from 2009 to 2016 to answer whether political ... -
Exploring fishery history in game form: ‘Never again April 18!’
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-02)This article studies the ways in which Norwegian fishery history can be explored through games. Using the 1989 closure of the Norwegian coastal cod commons as a case study, issues related to historical thinking and game studies are discussed. The main focus is on understanding history through serious games, but theoretical considerations for presenting the case in any game format are discussed. The ... -

Relationships between functional food consumption and individual traits and values: A segmentation approach
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-06)This study aimed to identify, describe, and compare consumer segments based on food- and health-related values and traits and how the segments are related to functional food consumption. A hybrid hierarchical k-means clustering approach was used to identify homogeneous consumer segments based on food innovativeness, food self-control, hedonic eating values, convenience orientation, health importance, ... -
Process of posthospital care involving telemedicine solutions for patients after total hip arthroplasty
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-27)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 ... -
Social media: Where customers air their troubles—How to respond to them?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-08-07)Dissatisfied customers often use social media to voice their complaints effectively, and firms strive to find solutions about how to respond to publicly visible service failure posts. We add to the emerging literature on complaint handling via social media by examining how complaining customers on a company’s Facebook page prefer to be treated. We built on the multi-attribute product concept and ... -
Influence of Tourism Seasonality and Financial Ratios on Hotels’ Exit Risk
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-20)Tourism seasonality negatively affects hotels’ operational and financial performance and then survival probabilities. Several studies have evaluated the impact of tourism seasonality on hotels’ exit risk. However, the empirical findings are ambiguous, probably due to the overall seasonality and different measures used in these studies. Against this background, this study explores the impact of tourism ... -
Tick Size and Price Reversal after Order Imbalance
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-25): It is well known that intraday returns tend to reverse the following intraday period, conditional on excess buying pressure on the bid or ask side. This suggests that liquidity providers “overreact” to order imbalance (OIB) by initially altering quotes so much that a negative autocorrelation is seen in mid-price returns. We investigate under which circumstances this behavior is most common. ... -

Underpinned by well-established theories, this study develops a single integrative model of managers’, employees’ and consumers’ CSR. Data were collected from the ... -
