Show summary
This paper reviews the literature on intergenerational mobility. While our review is centered
around the large empirical literature on this topic, we also give a brief discussion of some of the
relevant theory. We consider three strands of the empirical literature. First, we discuss how to
measure intergenerational persistence in various socio-economic outcomes. We discuss both
measurement challenges and some notable findings. We then turn to quantifying the importance
of family environment and genetic factors for children's outcomes. We describe the pros and cons
of various approaches as well as key findings. The third strand is concerned with drawing causal
inferences about how children's outcomes are affected by specific features of their family
environment. We discuss a wide range of environmental features, including the neighborhoods in
which children grow up. We critically assess what conclusions one may and may not draw from
certain celebrated studies of neighborhoods and intergenerational mobility.

A dynamic binomial model with application to the propensity to use tax amnesty.
Show summary
In the talk, a model to study the effects of announcement and implementation of international tax information agreements on thepropensity to use the Norwegian tax amnesty will be introduced and studied. The model is based on the binomial distribution with a dynamic for which the initial value has to be estimated. The model is also extended to a panel version.

The impact of international tax information exchange agreements on the use of tax amnesty: evidence from Norway.
Norges Handelshøyskole. Institutt for foretaksøkonomi.
ISSN 1500-4066.
Show summary
In this paper we develop a model for tax amnesty applications in a multi-period setting. One key insight from the model is that applying for amnesty becomes more attractive at the moment when stricter enforcement is announced, even if the implementation of the policy is in the distant future. We use our model to make sense of how international tax information exchange agreements affects voluntary disclosure of wealth and income previously hidden in tax havens. Our data is from Norway. In accordance with the dynamic amnesty model we observe a strong announcement effect of a tax information exchange agreement between Norway and Switzerland and Luxembourg, the two most important tax havens for Norwegian tax evaders. However, the effect levels off very quickly, much faster than our model predicts. We think this is because the initial announcement of the tax agreement exaggerated the risk the agreement imposed to those who had hidden taxable income and wealth in Switzerland. We also estimate and find significant effects of the press releases the Norwegian Tax Authority issues to inform taxpayers about new international tax agreements and the amnesty, or voluntary disclosure, option that exists in the Norwegian tax code.

Pregnancy, Parenthood and Productivity.

Show summary
Parenthood is a key determinant of the gender gap in career outcomes. However, the exact mechanisms behind this relationship are only partially uncovered: While previous research shows that parenthood is associated with a decline in work hours of female employees, there is scarce evidence on the impact of parenthood on female worker productivity. Using detailed data on worker productivity for 400+ employees in the customer service center of an insurance company in Norway, we first document a gender gap in work hours, productivity and earnings. We then analyze the impact of pregnancy and parenthood on female worker productivity. Weekly work-hours falls sharply during pregnancy, and never recovers to its pre-pregnancy levels. However, when accounting for this drop in actual work-hours, there is no effect of pregnancy and parenthood on female worker productivity.
