title: Combining Multi-compartment Sampler and Geophysical Techniques for Monitoring Contaminant Transport in Soils, 2016

description: Pollution of soils is a widespread problem and is an important part of the still to be implemented Soil Directive (EU). Solute transport is strongly affected by heterogeneity. This effect needs to be understood to improve risk assessment, monitoring, and treatment strategies for natural attenuation in an optimal way both environmentally and cost effectively. “Combining Multi-compartment Sampler and Geophysical Techniques for Monitoring Contaminant Transport in Soils, 2016” aimed at developing integrated technologies and modelling tools for soil contamination assessment and site characterisation at the scale of management decisions (field scale). Multi-compartment samplers (MCS) measure downward fluxes with high spatio-temporal resolution and show the effect of subsurface heterogeneities. At the field scale, geophysical techniques have become more widespread to monitor hydrogeological processes. These techniques are promising regarding cost efficiency and spatial versatility, but require ground truth. Geophysical time-lapse measurements in combination with novel ground truth methods (like MCS) give the possibility to determine absolute contamination levels, spatial spreading. Better monitoring of contaminant behavior is a prerequisite for improved measures and reduced concentrations of contaminants. Never before has the high spatio-temporal resolution data of contaminant transport provided by the MCS at field scale been combined with different geophysical methods. In this project the MCS was modified to meet the needs for more flexible use and was combined with 2D geophysical techniques. The MCS was equipped with instrumentation for geophysical measurements, and MCS water samples provided ground truth for the geophysical methods. In the proposal of this project it was put forward that innovative integration of MCS and geophysical techniques, and modelling, would be used to improve our process understanding of contaminant transport and for optimising monitoring strategy. This integration of techniques and tools would then be used to develop instruments for better decision making by the stakeholders.

title: Russias Defence Industry - An Engine for Economic Growth? 2017

description: Within a decade, starting from 2011 Russia is planning to spend roughly one and a half federal budget (22,000 billion roubles) on modernization of the country's military-industrial complex and a full-scale rearmament of the Armed Forces. The investments are supposed to improve both Russia's military capabilities, and Russia's economic performance. The main aim of the project was to investigate the potential effects on the overall Russian economy of the large defence outlays – in particular the ongoing rearmament program. The main finding was that while those who have rejected almost any positive effects on the overall economy of the high defence spending have been too dismissive, there is little to suggest that the defence industry will become a locomotive for the economy in the ways suggested by Russian officials. Data on the Russian population attitudes towards defense spending were collected, in addition to data on the Russian defense industry's production capacity and export of military equipment. For further information about "Russias Defence Industry - An Engine for Economic Growth? 2017", please contact the principal investigator.

title: The Past, Present and the Future: Sales Forecasts, Consumer Attitudes, Demographics and Economics, 2016

description: The Norwegian agricultural sector is strongly regulated and protected. A main pillar in the agricultural policy is to ensure a balance between domestic production and consumption of meat, eggs and dairy products. There have been significant changes in consumption. Changes in relative prices and real income are important in explaining these changes, but demographic factors such as an ageing and more heterogeneous population also have large impacts on the consumption of many foods over time. Finally, changes in preferences and attitudes affect the consumption. In this project, consumer research that is relevant for making forecasts for the sales of agricultural products have been conducted, and improved forecasting models for the short-run (1 year) and the long-run (10 years) for sales of beef, pork, lamb, chicken, eggs and selected dairy products were made. The project specifically investigated the effects of changes in economic factors, demographic factors, and consumer attitudes and preferences. As a part of the project, two comparative studies focusing on attitudes and demographics were carried out in Norway and the US. A specific study related to the effects of immigration was also conducted in the US. Based on the consumer research in the proposal, improved forecasting models have been developed in cooperation with Nortura, Tine, the Norwegian Agricultural Authority, the Norwegian Dairy Council, the Norwegian Poultry and Meat Council, and the Agricultural Budget Committee.

This dataset includes four surveys from Norway on consumption of meat and dairy products, in addition to two Best-Worst surveys conducted in Norway and the US. In addition, data from Statistics Norway's Consumer Expenditure Surveys, time series data from Nortura concerning the sales and prices of meat from 1980 to 2015, time series data provided by the Norwegian Dairy Council concerning the sales of dairy products from 1995 to 2015, the survey “Norsk Monitor” by Ipsos MMI, american data on daily consumption of food, and data from the NHANES database provided by the US Department of Agriculture has been used.

title: A Historic Reconstruction of the History of Research on the Monetary Valuation of Road Safety by Means of the Methodology of Scientific Research Programmes as Developed by Imre Lakatos, 2016

description: "A Historic Reconstruction of the History of Research on the Monetary Valuation of Road Safety by Means of the Methodology of Scientific Research Programmes as Developed by Imre Lakatos, 2016" described and interpreted the history of research on economic valuation of road safety, i.e. economic valuation of life and health, by further building on the theory of scientific research programs, developed by Imre Lakatos. This is a theory of how the development of research on a topic can be “reconstructed rationally”, i.e. as a result of rational choices the researchers make on the basis of internal scientific norms for what is considered fruitful and less fruitful.

title: COMPETT - Competitive Electric Town Transport, 2014

description: Although electrified vehicles have existed for years, the number of such vehicles in practical use is most limited compared to the number of internal combustion engine vehicles (ICE).
The objectives of this project is the reduction of CO2-emissions by increased use of electrified vehicles through better knowledge of the barriers against and potentials for electrified vehicles, including reduced road traffic noise. Fully electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, fuel-cell hydrogen vehicles and electric two-wheelers have different functionalities and may face different barriers and potentials.
Important questions are:
- How can electrified vehicles come into use to a greater degree?
- What are the most likely niches for electrified vehicles?
- What kind of electrified vehicles can most easily become alternatives to internal combustion engine vehicles?
- How can different kinds of electrified vehicles be applied for different kinds of trips?
Austria, Denmark and Norway participate in the project with a total of five partners representing research, local authorities and businesses. The COMPETT project will shed new light on the appropriate role of the government in the take-off stage and the creation of a self-sustaining market for e-vehicles. COMPETTs recommendations will address the different role of the different stakeholders or actors.

In this project Fiva and Smith (2017) introduce a new data set featuring all candidates running for parliamentary (Storting) elections from 1906 to 2013, and document patterns over time and across electoral systems in the development of the party system; candidates' gender, age, occupation, and geographic ties; and voter turnout. 

Statistical units are considered personal data and the processing of these must be reported to The Norwegian Data Protection Authority or to the institution's privacy ombudsman.
