      Røisland, Øistein; Torvik, Ragnar (Working Papers;10/1999, Working paper, 1999)
      Several countries face the choice between targeting inflation independently or entering a monetary union that targets inflation. The present paper extends the theory of optimum currency areas to deal with this choice. In ...

      De siste 20 årene har det skjedd store endringer i pengepolitikken internasjonalt og i Norge. Både økonomisk teori og historiske erfaringer ligger bak utviklingen fram til dagens ordninger. Selv om flere trekk er felles, ...
    • Ordrestrømsanalyse av valutakurser 

      Rime, Dagfinn; Sojli, Elvira (Journal article, 2006)
      Artikkelen forklarer teorien som ligger til grunn for å bruke data fra verdipapirhandel i empiriske anvendelser. Det fokuseres på problemstillinger knyttet til valutamarkedet, men teorien har gyldighet også for andre ...
    • Output Gap in the Norwegian Economy – Different Methodologies, Same Result? 

      Frøyland, Espen; Nymoen, Ragnar (Journal article, 2000)

      This paper investigates how the presence of financial frictions and financial shocks changes the definition and the estimated dynamics of the output gap in a New Keynesian model. Financial shocks absorb explanatory power ...
    • Overconfidence, Monetary Policy Committees and Chairman Dominance 

      Claussen, Carl Andreas; Matsen, Egil; Røisland, Øistein; Torvik, Ragnar (Working Papers;17/2009, Working paper, 2009)
      We suggest that overconfidence among policymakers explains why formal decision power over monetary policy is given to committees, while much of the real power to set policy remains with central bank chairmen. Overconfidence ...

      Gresvik, Olaf; Haare, Harald (Staff Memo;6/2008, Working paper, 2008)

      Haare, Harald; Sletner, Inger-Johanne (Journal article, 2007)

      Bergo, Jarle (Journal article, 2002)
      I det lange løp kan pengepolitikken verken påvirke produksjonen, sysselsettingen eller konkurranseevnen. Men gjennom å praktisere fleksibel inflasjonsstyring kan man oppnå en fornuftig avveining mellom variasjonen i inflasjon ...
