NATURNAER-Natur og næring

The optimal choice and timing of agricultural policies in the presence of uncertainty

Agricultural policy analysis has traditionally focused on the optimal choice of policy instruments for a given set of policy objectives. Less attention has been paid to the fact that the timing of policy implementation is another choice variable to policy makers. This choice is reflected in the ...

NORKLIMA-Klimaendringer og konsekvenser for Norge

Climate change impacts in the Electricity Sector

Climate change will have impacts on electricity markets, both on demand and supply. In Norway, important likely impacts are that the supply of hydropower and wind power will be boosted by weather changes, while warmer winters will dampen heating demand. H owever, in other European countries, the ...
