      I construct a novel dataset to investigate the effects of oil income in regions of Russia. My data combines regional level data on oil endowments and a wide range of economic series for 85 geographical regions of Russia. ...
    • Local economic development and oil discoveries 

      Hamang, Jonas Hveding (CAMP Working Paper Series;03/2022, Working paper, 2022-09-15)
      In this paper I use data on the location of all historic petroleum discoveries onshore to establish a new stylized fact: Economically developed areas are significantly more likely (about five percentage points) to contain ...
    • Macroeconomic uncertainty and bank lending 

      Juelsrud, Ragnar E.; Larsen, Vegard H. (CAMP Working Paper Series;05/2022, Working paper, 2022-11)
      We investigate the impact of macro-related uncertainty on bank lending in Norway. We show that an increase in general macroeconomic uncertainty reduces bank lending. Importantly, however, we show that this effect is largely ...
    • Monetary policy when export revenues drop 

      Bergholt, Drago; Røisland, Øistein; Sveen, Tommy; Torvik, Ragnar (CAMP Working Paper Series;04/2022, Working paper, 2022-11)
      We study how monetary policy should respond to shocks which permanently alter the steady state structure of the economy. In such a case monetary policy affects not only the short run misallocations due to nominal rigidities, ...
    • The effect of rising energy prices amid geopolitical developments and supply disruptions 

      Bjørnland, Hilde C. (CAMP Working Paper Series;07/2022, Working paper, 2022-12)
      Much research has documented how changes in supply and demand cause commodity price fluctuations, with subsequent effects on the global economy. This paper puts the recent energy price surge in perspective amid geopolitical ...
    • Lost in transition? Earnings losses of displaced petroleum workers 

      Ellingsen, Jon; Espegren, Caroline (CAMP Working Paper Series;06/2022, Working paper, 2022-12-01)
      We estimate the earnings losses of displaced petroleum workers using a matched employer-employee longitudinal data set from Norway, coupled with an event-study framework of the oil price drop in 2014. Displacement leads ...
    • Dominant Drivers of National Inflation 

      Ditzen, Jan; Ravazzolo, Francesco (CAMP Working Paper Series;08/2022, Working paper, 2022-12-29)
      For western economies a long-forgotten phenomenon is on the horizon: rising inflation rates. We propose a novel approach christened D2ML to identify drivers of national inflation. D2ML combines machine learning for model ...
    • The Economic Consequences of Effective Carbon Taxes 

      Kapfhammer, Felix (CAMP Working Paper Series;01/2023, Working paper, 2023-01)
      This paper studies the economic consequences of carbon taxes at the macroeconomic and sectoral level. I propose a novel monthly measure of effective carbon tax rates, which, in contrast to the measures used by the existing ...
    • Oil Prices Uncertainty, Endogenous Regime Switching, and Inflation Anchoring 

      Chang, Yoosoon; Herrera, Ana María; Pesavento, Elena (CAMP Working Paper Series;02/2023, Working paper, 2023-02-27)
      Using a novel approach to model regime switching with dynamic feedback and interactions, we extract latent mean and volatility factors in oil price changes. We illustrate how the volatility factor constitutes a useful ...
    • Oil and the Stock Market Revisited: A mixed functional VAR approach 

      Bjørnland, Hilde C.; Chang, Yoosoon; Cross, Jamie L. (CAMP Working Paper Series;03/2023, Working paper, 2023-03-13)
      This paper proposes a new mixed vector autoregression (MVAR) model to examine the relationship between aggregate time series and functional variables in a multivariate setting. The model facilitates a re examination of the ...
    • Where do they care? The ECB in the media and inflation expectations

    • Bayesian Mode Inference for Discrete Distributions in Economics and Finance 

      Cross, Jamie L.; Hoogerheide, Lennart; Labonne, Paul; Van Dijk, Herman K. (CAMP Working Paper Series;11/2023, Working paper, 2023-06-27)
      Detecting heterogeneity within a population is crucial in many economic and financial applications. Econometrically, this requires a credible determination of multimodality in a given data distribution. We propose a ...
    • Monetary policy shocks and exchange rate dynamics in small open economies
