Koronapandemien i en makroøkonomisk modell
Samfunnsøkonomen, 1, p. 37-55.
Vis sammendrag
De store variasjonene i viktige økonomiske størrelser under koronapandemien utgjør en utfordring for modeller som tallfestes på historiske tidsserier. I denne artikkelen presenterer vi en pragmatisk løsning på hvordan pandemiperioden kan håndteres i en DSGE-modell for norsk økonomi. Vi introduserer sjokk i den makroøkonomiske modellen NORA som kun får være aktive i pandemiårene. Med denne tilnærmingen kan vi analysere de relative bidragene fra ulike drivere av svingninger i økonomisk aktivitet under pandemien. Vi viser at å ikke ta hensyn til pandemispesifikke sjokk kan lede til en feilvurdering av de økonomiske konsekvensene av innretningen av finanspolitikken. Dette gjør vi ved å se på hvordan en permanent økning i merverdiavgiftssatsen slår ut i økonomisk aktivitet. I en modell uten pandemispesifikke sjokk undervurderes den økonomiske kostnaden med en faktor på fire.

Testing the zero-process of intraday financial returns for non-stationary periodicity
Vis sammendrag
Recent studies show that the zero-process of observed intraday financial returns is frequently characterized by non-stationary periodicity. As liquidity varies across the trading day, not only does unconditional volatility change, but also the unconditional zero-probability. While scaling returns by the time-varying intraday volatility may stabilize volatility, it does not make the zero-process of scaled returns stationary. This invalidates standard methods of risk estimation, and recent studies document that the use of such invalid methods can have major effects on risk estimates. Formal tests for non-stationary periodicity in the zero-process can therefore be of great value in guiding the choice of a suitable risk estimation procedure. Despite this, little attention has been devoted to the derivation of such tests. Here, we help filling this gap by developing user-friendly yet flexible and powerful tests that hold under mild assumptions. Next, our empirical study reveals that intraday financial returns are widely characterized by non-stationary periodicity in the zero-process. This has important and potentially wide-ranging implications for future research.

Should we trust cross sectional multiplier estimates?
Vis sammendrag
I examine the properties of cross-sectional estimators of multipliers, elasticities, or pass-throughs when a conventional spatial macroeconomic specification generates the data. A number of important biases plague standard estimates; the most relevant one occurs when the units display heterogeneous dynamics. Methods that work well in this situation are suggested. An experimental setting shows the magnitude of the biases cross-sectional estimators display. Average estimates of local fiscal multipliers in the US states are compared and contrasted.

Feedback and Learning: The Causal Effects of Reversals on Judicial Decision-Making
Vis sammendrag
Do judges respond to reversals of their decisions? Using random assignment of cases across two stages of the criminal justice system in Norway and a novel dataset linking trial court decisions to reversals in appeals courts, we provide causal evidence on feedback effects in judicial decision-making. By exploiting differences in the tendencies of randomly assigned appeal panels to reverse trial court decisions, we show that trial court judges who receive a reversal of a sentence respond by updating the likelihood of imposing a prison sentence in the direction of the reversal in future cases. Consistent with a Bayesian learning model, we find that the responses are stronger for judges with weaker priors and for reversals corresponding to stronger signals. Our estimates, however, also indicate that judges overreact to reversals compared to Bayes’ rule.

Hvordan virker utlånsforskriften? En oppsummering av forskningslitteraturen
Samfunnsøkonomen.
Vis sammendrag
I denne artikkelen forsøker vi å svare på om utlånsforskriften har virket etter hensikten og hvilke kostnader den påfører husholdningene. Forskningslitteraturen indikerer at boliglånsregulering bidrar til noe lavere gjelds- og boligprisvekst, men at det er mer usikkert om den reduserer husholdningenes sårbarhet for uforutsette hendelser som renteøkninger og arbeidsledighet. Utlånsforskriften påfører samtidig mange husholdninger kostnader ved at den begrenser muligheten for konsumglatting og kan gjøre det vanskeligere for unge å kjøpe sin første bolig. Reguleringen kan også forsterke viktigheten av formuende foreldre for muligheten til boligkjøp. Høy inflasjon og rente kan redusere behovet for forskriften og øke kostnadene.

House price seasonality, market activity, and the December discount
Vis sammendrag
In Norway, house prices tend to drop in December. This regularity is persistent across regions and over time. I exploit a transaction data set with high temporal granularity to document and estimate the size of the December discount. I control for a composition effect using a hedonic model and I control for unobserved heterogeneity by using repeat sales and involving ask prices and appraisal values. By segmenting into submarkets, I search for determinants of price seasonality. The evidence suggests that the December effect is linked to time-on-market for each unit and transaction volumes within each submarkets.

IV estimation of spatial dynamic panels with interactive effects: large sample theory and an application on bank attitude towards risk
Vis sammendrag
This paper develops a new instrumental variables estimator for spatial, dynamic
panels with interactive effects under large N and T asymptotics. For this class of models, most
approaches available in the literature are based on quasi-maximum likelihood estimation. The
approach put forward here is appealing from both a theoretical and a practical point of view
for a number of reasons. First, it is linear in the parameters of interest and computationally
inexpensive. Second, the IV estimator is free from asymptotic bias. Third, the approach can
accommodate endogenous regressors as long as external instruments are available. The IV
estimator is consistent and asymptotically normal as N, T → ∞ , such that N/T → c , where
0 < c < ∞ . We study the determinants of risk attitude of banking institutions. The results
show that the capital regulation introduced by the Dodd–Frank Act has succeeded in influencing
banks’ behaviour.

COVID-19 among guestworkers in Norway
Vis sammendrag
Guestworkers in Norway is a group we have little knowledge about, even though this group makes up nearly 4% of the Norwegian workforce in high seasons during a normal year. During the COVID-19 pandemic, migrant guestworkers in Norway were the subject of strict infection prevention measures, but there is little knowledge about actual infections in this group compared to residents. In this analysis, we study whether infection rates were higher among guestworkers compared to a relevant comparison group in the general population. A guestworker is a non-resident migrant worker with a temporary id-number (d number) and active employment. Our study gives valuable information on whether additional precautionary measures for this group would have been justified. In this paper we use employment data from the State Register of Employers and Employees (Aa-registeret) from April 1st, 2020 to October 1st, 2021, together with results from PCR tests. We compare the probability of infection among guestworkers in Norway with a group of employees who are permanent residents, controlling for gender, age, occupation and local infection rate. We find a lower confirmed incidence of COVID-19 among guestworkers, and no difference in positivity rate.

The structure of Norwegian seafood trade
Vis sammendrag
While seafood is a highly traded commodity, lack of data has largely prevented examination of the firms and industries that are conducting the actual transactions. In this paper we use highly disaggregated data to provide an overview of the seafood exports from Norway, the world’s 2nd largest seafood exporting country, and a country where fisheries as well as aquaculture are important industries. The industry has a global reach with Norwegian seafood reaching 172 different countries in the period 2016–2020. While there are as many as 437 different exporting firms, this is relatively few firms compared to the 11,024 different buyers that import Norwegian seafood. There is significant heterogeneity in the export sector from very small firms handling only a few products to very large firms handling a large variety of products. The average firm is quite specialized and serves only 9 markets. However, there are also a handful of large exporters who ship products from all three main sectors in the Norwegian seafood industry to a large number of markets. The 10% largest companies make up 39% of the total export value and provide significant synergies between the aquaculture, pelagic and whitefish sectors.
