• Econometric Inflation Targeting 

      Bårdsen, Gunnar; Jansen, Eilev S.; Nymoen, Ragnar (Working Paper Series, 1503-299X; 2002:5, Research report, 2002)
      Inflation targeting requires inflation forecasts, yet most models in the literature are either theoretical or calibrated. The motivation for this paper is therefore threefold: We seek to test and implement an econometric ...
    • Forecast Robustness in Macroeconometric Models 

      Bårdsen, Gunnar; Kolsrud, Dag; Nymoen, Ragnar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      This paper investigates potential invariance of mean forecast errors to structural breaks in the data generating process. From the general forecasting literature, such robustness is expected to be a rare occurrence. With ...
    • Model Specification and Inflation Forecast Uncertainty 

      Bårdsen, Gunnar; Jansen, Eilev S.; Nymoen, Ragnar (Working Paper Series, 1503-299X; 2002:13, Research report, 2002)
      Three classes of inflation models are discussed: Standard Phillips curves, New Keynesian Phillips curves and Incomplete Competition models. Their relative merits in explaining and forecasting inflation are investigated ...
    • The Empirical (ir)Relevance of the New Keynesian Phillips Curve 

      Bårdsen, Gunnar; Jansen, Eilev S.; Nymoen, Ragnar (Working Paper Series, 1503-299X; 2002:21, Research report, 2002)
      We give an appraisal of the New Keynesian Phillips curve (NPC) as an empirical model of European inflation. We show that existing evidence reported in favour of the NPC on Euro-area and country data is due to a corroborative ...
    • Wage inequality and union membership at the establishment level: An econometric study using Norwegian data 

      Svarstad, Elin; Nymoen, Ragnar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      We model the empirical relationship between the within-establishment union membership rate and wage inequality in Norway. The data set is a panel of 2,285 private-sector establishments observed in the period 2000–18. The ...
