1.      Benefit Transfer without Apology: A Decision-Theoretic Approach by Professor Olvar Bergland, NMBU

2.      Oil Futures Revisited by Professor Ole Gjølberg, NMBU

PROF. OLVAR BERGLAND

PhD U of Kentucky, An associate editor of Journal of Commodity Markets, served on the council of the International Association for Energy Economics. His research interest is in energy economics and more specifically in electricity markets: market design, contracts and organization. Electricity markets are designed markets with clear and transparent rules, and frequent data, which are great for empirical industrial organization work. Expanding penetration in the market of intermittent production from renewable sources such as wind and solar with almost zero marginal costs creates challenges both with respect to security of supply and the usual pricing mechanisms for collecting sufficient revenue.
