I use detailed field-level data on Norwegian offshore oil production and a semi-parametric additive model to control for the production profile of fields to estimate the effect of oil prices on production. I find no significant evidence of a concurrent reaction of field production to oil prices,...

I make use of an over-dispersed Poisson regression model and the roll-out of a new pro-competition regulatory and tax regime in Norway in the mid-2000's to estimate the effects of industry microstructure and firm-level variables on well drilling. I demonstrate the importance of the...
