    • Absorptive capacity and energy efficiency in manufacturing firms – An empirical analysis in Norway 

      Solnørdal, Mette Talseth; Thyholdt, Sverre Braathen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-07-02)
      Increased energy efficiency (EE) in manufacturing firms is important for confronting climate challenges. However, the information barrier is considered a major restriction on EE innovation. Building on the theory of absorptive capacity and the current EE literature, we argue that this barrier relates to firms' ability to assimilate and exploit information. Thus, this study's objective is to analyse ...

    • The Bumpy Road of Demand Growth—An Application to Atlantic Salmon 

      Brækkan, Eivind Hestvik; Thyholdt, Sverre Braathen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-10-16)
      We measure demand growth for all salmon-importing regions of the world using an index approach for the 2002–2011 period. Our results demonstrate that there are substantial variations in demand growth by region and over time. Russia and Brazil exhibit the highest demand growth, with average annual growth rates of approximately 20%. More established markets, such as the United States and Japan, ...

    • The demands they are a-changin' 

      Brækkan, Eivind Hestvik; Thyholdt, Sverre Braathen; Asche, Frank; Myrland, Øystein (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-03-15)
      Smooth operators such as time trends are often applied to deal with unidentified demand shifters. However, if unknown factors affect demand irregularly, a time trend fails to capture the variation. We present an index approach for estimating irregular demand shifts, decomposing total demand shifts into predicted and unexplained effects. This allows separating demand shifts caused by known factors ...

    • Drivers for energy efficiency: an empirical analysis of Norwegian manufacturing firms 

      Solnørdal, Mette Talseth; Thyholdt, Sverre Braathen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-08)
      Manufacturing firms’ ability to innovate and improve their energy efficiency (EE) is a key element in reducing emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) and attain international objectives of climate change mitigation. Despite an urgent need for more knowledge drivers for EE in manufacturing firms, there is still little research on the topic. Taking departure in the EE and environmental innovation literature ...

    • En etterspørselsanalyse av laksemarkedet i EU. Med et spesielt blikk på lakseavtalen mellom Norge og EU 

      Thyholdt, Sverre Braathen (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2007-05)
      Denne oppgaven er en etterspørselsanalyse av laksemarkedet i EU, hvor spesielt effekten av lakseavtalen mellom EU og Norge blir analysert. For å estimere effekten er det blitt brukt tre forskjellige AIDS (almost ideal demand system) modeller. Den første modellen behandler lakseavtalen som en dummyvariabel. Dummyvariabelen er en skiftvariabel som viser skiftene i etterspørselskurven lakseavtalen ...

    • The importance of temperature in farmed salmon growth: regional growth functions for Norwegian farmed salmon 

      Thyholdt, Sverre Braathen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-05-20)

    • Just Like Putting Scissors to a Market - Investigating Supply and Demand Relations of Farmed Atlantic Salmon 

      Thyholdt, Sverre Braathen (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2015-06-17)
      Price and quantity numbers, which we are observing in a market place, occur because of an interaction between supply and demand. An understanding of what drives supply and demand is therefore important in order to understand the market in itself. This dissertation focuses on determining the impact of exogenous factors on salmon biomass growth and how producers respond to price changes. Furthermore, ...

    • Measuring inventory turnover efficiency using stochastic frontier analysis: building materials and hardware retail chains in Norway. 

      Breivik, Jørgen; Larsen, Nils Magne; Thyholdt, Sverre Braathen; Myrland, Øystein (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-08-26)
      Operational efficiency in the retail business is vital in order to be profitable in a competitive environment. This paper investigates how environmental factors, firm size and time trends are linked to inventory performance. We use location data, demographic data and 16 years of financial accounting data from small and medium-sized home improvement retailers to explain inventory performance at a ...
