Lastly, we calculate the price elasticity of cabin-based outdoor recreation to be -0.24 (with a 95% confidence interval of [-0.73, −0.05]), indicating inelastic demand. Since we used aggregate data, we had to conduct a Monte Carlo simulation to get an estimate of the uncertainty:

We do a difference-in-differences and find that Strava activities in cabin areas fell by 15% as a result of the electricity price increase. This is robust to a myriad of robustness checks, placebo tests and checks for SUTVA violations.

We use activity traces from the training app Strava which we have merged with the locations of cabins. We look only at trails within 15 kilometers from the border. - The south of the border experienced the high prices: our treatment group. - The north of the border did not: our control group.

In late 2021, the electricity prices in three out of five electricity price zones in Norway started to increase fast. A hard border appeared between the south with high prices and the north with normal prices. We utilize this to find the price elasticity of cabin-based outdoor recreation.

Excited to share that my paper "The value of cabin-based outdoor recreation: Evidence from a natural experiment" (with @edsandorf.bsky.social, @zanderventer.bsky.social and Anders Dugstad) is now out in the Journal of Environmental Economics and Management doi.org/10.1016/j.je... 🧵

Lite sukk: figurer som viser endring i oppslutning mangler så og si alltid informasjon om hva endringen er relativt til. Er det siden forrige valg, forrige måling, forrige måned? Legg til en note under figuren. Denne gangen TV2, men gjelder de og. www.tv2.no/nyheter/inne...

On Wednesday I leave for a 6 month research stay at ARE at UC Berkeley. Very excited to go, but definitely going to miss Oslo on days like this. Suggestions on things to do, places to see and seminars to attend in the Bay Area will be very appreciated

Vi sammenligner de som kommer på ordningen med andre arbeidstakere med høyt sykefravær. Vi finner at de som blir med i ordningen har høyere sannsynlighet for å være i arbeid de første to-tre årene. På lengre sikt har de lavere sannsynlighet for å være i arbeid.
