Born to run behind? Persisting birth month effects on earnings
Røed Larsen, Erling; Solli, Ingeborg F. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The relative age effect is an established phenomenon in the literature, but estimates of its strength and duration vary. With Norwegian registry data we investigate how birth month affects earnings throughout the full ... -
House price seasonality, market activity, and the December discount
Røed Larsen, Erling (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)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 ... -
Is the Engel curve approach viable in the estimation of alternative PPPs?
Røed Larsen, Erling (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Conventional estimates of purchasing power parities (PPP) rely on cross-country price data. Using Engel curves, Almås (2012) was able to show, however, that PPPs contain substantial bias. Since constructing conventional ... -
Is the Housing Market an Inequality Generator?
Eggum, Terje; Røed Larsen, Erling (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)We study inequality generated by capital gains in the housing market by exploiting two countrywide data sources in Norway: a registry of housing units and a database of transactions. We identify and follow all individuals ... -
Strategic sequencing behavior among owner-occupiers: the role played by sell-first movers in a housing recovery
Anundsen, Andrè Kallåk; Røed Larsen, Erling (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Purpose – This article aims to study the dual search problem using data on the Norwegian housing market during the financial crisis of 2008 and begin the detailed mapping of the elements in the transmission mechanism ... -

The Engel curve of owner-occupied housing consumption
Røed Larsen, Erling (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Housing is a major component of aggregate demand, and understanding how the demand for housing co-varies with income is useful for analysis and policy. While estimating housing consumption for tenants amounts to observing ... -
Thick-market effects, housing heterogeneity, and the determinants of transaction seasonality
Nenov, Plamen T.; Røed Larsen, Erling; Sommervoll, Dag Einar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)This article uses cross-sectional variation in transaction seasonality and a search-theoretic framework to develop a test for thick-market effects from matching efficiency. The test relates the extent of transaction ... -

Beatty, Timothy K. M.; Røed Larsen, Erling; Sommervoll, Dag Einar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010)Rental-equivalence is often used in computing price changes of owner-occupied housing in the CPI. We employ an alternative approach, employing interest-adjusted house prices. For Norway 2000-2008 our method yielded a 30% ...
