      Akram, Q. Farooq; Ben-Haim, Yakov; Eitrheim, Øyvind (Working Papers;14/2007, Working paper, 2007)
      We employ the robust-satisficing approach to derive robust monetary policy when parameters of a macro model are uncertain. There is a trade-off between robustness of policies and their performance. Hence, under uncertainty, ...

      Mæhlum, Mathis (Staff Memo;17/2012, Working paper, 2012)

    • Salience of Debt and Homebuyers’ Credit Decisions 

      Agarwal, Sumit; Karapetyan, Artashes (Working Papers;21/2015, Working paper, 2015)
      We show how a regulatory disclosure of hidden debt can eliminate a large mispricing in housing. In a setting where homebuyers must combine several sources of debt, they are biased towards hidden loans, especially if they ...

    • Sammenhengen mellom styringsrenten og pengemarkedsrentene : 2007-2012 

      Bernhardsen, Tom (Aktuell Kommentar;2/2012, Others, 2012)
      I denne kommentaren vises det at endringer i styringsrenten har hatt bredt gjennomslag til pengemarkedsrentene i Norge og andre land, og at risikopåslagene i pengemarkedsrentene er uavhengig av endringer i styringsrenten. ...
