The role of path–dependent institutions during the collapse and rebuilding of a fishery
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-30)
This article presents a historical analysis of the Norwegian spring spawning herring fishery. Theoretically, the
study is rooted in new institutional economics (NIE). The study shows that the fishery collapsed during the 1960s
because of overfishing. The underlying key drivers were unregulated open access management, technological
progress, and excess capacity building. The analysis further ...
Competitive Balance When Winning Breeds Winners
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-01)
In contest settings, heterogeneity between contestants generally leads to low effort provision, and many instruments have been suggested to restore competitive balance. We suggest that heterogeneity may evolve depending upon the outcome of previous contests. Restoring competitive balance in this setting is challenging, and we consider the choice faced by a principal who can distribute a prize fund ...
The creative class: do jobs follow people or do people follow jobs?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-01-19)
Regional adjustment models are applied to explore causal interaction between two types of people distinguished by educational attainment, and two types of jobs: creative class jobs and other jobs. Data used are for labour market regions in Finland, Norway and Sweden from the 2000s. Creative class jobs follow people with high educational attainment (one way causation), but creative class jobs also ...
Creating balance in dynamic competitions
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-01-02)
We consider incentives for organizing competitions in multiple rounds, focusing on situations where there is heterogeneity among the contestants ex ante, which discourages effort in a single contest. Heterogeneity evolves across rounds depending upon the outcomes of previous rounds. We present conditions under which balance in such a competition can be created, by determining the number of rounds ...
The design and implementation of driving time regulation
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-09-21)
Our object of study is welfare optimal driving time regulations in professional road transportation. Due to fatigue, traffic accident risks are supposed to increase as driving times rise. Conversely, the quantity and quality of road infrastructure affect productivity and safety in transportation positively. As the typical driver does not bear all the social costs when accidents happen, in the absence ...

Minors have been denied human rights such as access to education, food and health services. They have been kidnapped, sold, manipulated, mutilated, ...
