Does Stock and Flow diagrams lead to a better management of credit card ? The case of exponential growth bias. An experimental study
(Master thesis, 2014-06-02)Abstract Exponential growth bias is the tendency to linearize exponential functions. It means that people underestimate the future value of a growing debt in case of borrowing and future value of a growing investment in ... -
Does tree canopy closure moderate the effect of climate warming on plant species composition of temperate Himalayan oak forest?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-09)Question: We ask if there are significant changes in plant species composition after 20 yr of documented temperature increase (~1 °C), and if the temporal changes are different in closed temperate oak forest compared to ... -
Double energy vulnerability in the Norwegian low-carbon urban transport transition
(Journal article, 2022)Household energy poverty and transport energy poverty are increasingly recognised as entangled in energy social science. The intersection of these related phenomena is growing due to twin transitions of decarbonisation and ... -
Downhill shift of alpine plant assemblages under contemporary climate and land-use changes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-01-10)Compositional changes in Himalayan vegetation in response to the major drivers of biodiver- sity loss, climate change and land-use change, are barely documented. We quantify temporal changes in the alpine vegetation of ... -
A Dynamic Analysis of Tourism Determinants in Sicily

A Dynamic approach to understanding the nexus between electric power demand and economic growth, using a generic electricity model: The case of Ghana
(Master thesis, 2011-06-13)The debate about the interplay between energy and economic growth continues unabated without any indication of a consensus being reached. While some research work point to a unidirectional relationship between energy ... -
The Dynamic Ecological footprint. Endogenizing the Ecological Footprint of Forestry in the Threshold21 Model of Senegal
(Master thesis, 2012-07-11)Many countries in the world are in ecological overshoot. That is the message that the Ecological Footprint calculated by the Global Footprint Network sends us. Since many developing countries may not be in overshoot yet, ... -
Dynamic implications of the biological link between bovine milk and meat production for operationalizing the planetary health diet
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The EAT–Lancet planetary health diet (PHD) provides guidelines on a global scale and calls for red meat consumption to be halved. Operational PHD guidelines at country level have yet to be determined. Here we argue that ... -
The dynamic of modern software development project management and the software crisis of quality. An integrated system dynamics approach towards software quality improvement
(Master thesis, 2012-08-01)The software industry is plagued by cost-overruns, delays, poor customer satisfaction and quality issues that are costing clients and customers world-wide billions of dollars each year. The phenomenon is coined The Software ... -
Dynamic Simulation Model of Common Pool Resource Cooperation Experiments
(5/2003, Working paper, 2003)We investigate the decision rules adopted by individuals in local communities, whoselivelihoods depend on common pool resource stocks and who face the cooperationdilemma in their everyday life. For this purpose, field ... -
A dynamic systems analysis of factors affecting success of identity-preserved products: the case of high-oleic soybeans
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The factors contributing to success of identity-preserved (IP) products are understood conceptually, but are rarely quantified. A combination of system dynamics modeling and group modeling building with value chain ... -
Dynamics and cost of insurgency: the Maoist insurgency in Nepal
(Master thesis, 2014-10-01)Nepal faced a ten year long Maoist insurgency problem when the Communist Party of Nepal, CPN (Maoist) declared war in 1996 by rejecting the fundamental premises of Nepal's constitutional monarchy and parliamentary system ... -
The dynamics of female labour force participation: How family policy influences women's work behaviour
(Master thesis, 2017-08-23)Female labour force participation (FLFP) in the UK has stagnated in recent decades in spite of policies that have tried to increase the number of women in the labour force. This thesis uses system dynamics to investigate ... -
The Dynamics of Food Availability in sub-Saharan Africa: An Endogenous Perspective on Food Production Systems
(Doctoral thesis, 2017-11-18)Food insecurity is a major challenge of our time: In 2015, 795 million people suffered from hunger worldwide. The eradication of hunger remains a target of high-level policy programs such as the United Nations’ Sustainable ... -
E-scooter regulation: The micro-politics of market-making for micro-mobility in Bergen
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Micro-mobility market-making represents an under-studied but important aspect of urban transport sustainability transitions. Micro-mobility roll-out combines several critical elements: decarbonisation, digitalisation and ... -
ECCIS, a generic Model of Carbon Capture and Sequestration System for Enhance Oil Recovery Operations
