      Bernhardsen, Tom (Staff Memo;1/2008, Working paper, 2008)
      In this paper we discuss simple cross-check models for the krone exchange rate. Such models may give information as to whether the exchange rate is in line with basic macroeconomic fundamentals. Norges Bank publishes ...
    • Simple Monetary Policy Rules and Exchange Rate Uncertainty 

      Leitemo, Kai; Söderström, Ulf (Working Papers;6/2001, Working paper, 2001)
      We analyze the performance and robustness of some common simple rules for monetary policy in a New-Keynesian open economy model under different assumptions about the exchange rate model. Adding the exchange rate to an ...
    • Simple Monetary Policymaking Without the Output Gap 

      Leitemo, Kai; Lønning, Ingunn (Working Papers;9/2002, Working paper, 2002)
      The performance of a simple monetary policy rule, which does not rely on explicit information about the output gap but instead uses the change in the rate of inflation as a proxy for the output gap, is explored in a simple ...
    • Simple Rules Versus Optimal Policy: What Fits? 

      Bache, Ida Wolden; Brubakk, Leif; Maih, Junior (Working Papers;3/2010, Working paper, 2010)
      We estimate a small open-economy DSGE model for Norway with two specifications of monetary policy: a simple instrument rule and optimal policy based on an intertemporal loss function. The empirical fit of the model with ...
    • Simulating Forward-Looking Models 

      Kolsrud, Dag (Working Papers;9/2001, Working paper, 2001)
      The solutions of a macroeconometricmodel with expectations of future-dated variables has to be approximated by numerical simulations. A brief review of deterministic and stochastic dynamic simulations of a backward-looking ...

    • Smitte mellom banker – Systemrisiko som følge av bankenes sammenkobling 

      Lind, Øyvind Andreas (Staff Memo;13/2016, Working paper, 2016)
      Sammenkobling mellom banker gir opphav til systemrisiko. En betydelig del av bankenes eiendeler er eksponeringer hvor motparten er en annen bank. Slike sammenkoblinger kan utgjøre en risiko for smitte i det finansielle ...
