      Angell, Louise Marie Solberg; Snekvik, Ragnhild (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2023-05-31)
      For å finansiere overgangen til klimanøytralitet innen 2050, har EU utarbeidet en handlingsplan for bærekraftig finans.

      Clark, Derek John; Michalsen, Anita; Olsen, Leif Roger (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2020-09-24)
      We analyze the effect of the European Union Competition Authority’s block exemption towards R&D cooperatives in a horizontal market structure, valid as long as the combined product market share is not too large. Two less efficient firms attempt to catch up with a technological leader, and may use the safe harbour provided by the legislation. We consider when the incentives of the R&D-performing firms ...

    • Tick Size and Price Reversal after Order Imbalance 

      Sirnes, Espen; Dinh, Minh Thi Hong (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-25)
      : It is well known that intraday returns tend to reverse the following intraday period, conditional on excess buying pressure on the bid or ask side. This suggests that liquidity providers “overreact” to order imbalance (OIB) by initially altering quotes so much that a negative autocorrelation is seen in mid-price returns. We investigate under which circumstances this behavior is most common. ...
