Evidence on the Impact of the Troubled Assets Relief Program on Stock Returns
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)In response to the global financial crisis which began in 2008, the US government launched the Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP), the largest government bailout in US history. TARP was controversial and publicly ... -
Segmentation, Classification, and Determinants of In-Store Shopping Activity and Travel Behaviour in the Digitalisation Era: The Context of a Developing Country
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The influence of digital technologies in the current era has substantially affected the way individuals engage with in-store shopping activities and travels. To prepare a transport policy with sustainable orientations, it ... -
Rescue performance in Norwegian road related avalanche incidents
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)In Norway, snow avalanches hitting roads are a considerable safety challenge for the rescue services. Previous studies have given rise to concern about the rescuers´ levels of exposure to avalanche risk during these missions. ... -
Holistic economic analysis of building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) system: case studies evaluation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Recent trends and future objectives in sustainable buildings are to reduce energy consumption, and simultaneously try to supply their energy demand within the building employing an environmentally friendly energy resource ... -
Petroleum Investments on the Norwegian Continental Shelf: Is 10% still the right rate of return?
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-ISØP/2020;, Master thesis, 2020)Oil and gas companies on the Norwegian continental shelf are frequently conducting investments. Important part of that process is to set a required rate of return or hurdle rate on the assets, as well as choosing a discount ... -
Characterising the robustness of coupled power-law networks
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Many networks exhibit a power-law configuration, where the number of connections each node has follows a power-law distribution, including the Internet, terrorist cells, species relationships and infrastructure. Given the ... -
Personal Travel Planning: Review of Soft Transport Measure Criteria and Effects
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)In an effort to reduce car travel and the resulting negative effects (Green House Gas (GHG) emissions, traffic congestion, inefficient land use); and to increase public and active travel modes, there has been increasing ... -
