Interested in studying the shadow economy? (also called: underground economy, black economy, informal economy) In shadow markets , transactions are legal but hidden from the authorities to avoid taxes and regulations. Many aspects of such markets are still poorly understood, such as: • Why isn’t the shadow sector larger in high-tax countries such as the Scandinavian? • What factors determines the size of the shadow economy? • How does shadow markets affect efficiency? • To what extent do regular firms participate in shadow activities? If you are interested in studying problems related to the shadow economy, contact: Tone Ognedal, tone.ognedal@econ.uio.no

Tollfri importkvote for ost fra EU - vurdering av ulike fordelingsmetoder - Statens landbruksforvaltning (SLF) Høykontrast | A A A Logg inn saksbehandler | Sidekart | English Eiendom og skog Miljø og økologisk Produksjon og marked Internasjonal handel Erstatning Om SLF 15.12.2011 Orga nisa sjon Organisasjonskart Tollfri im p ortkv ote for ost fra EU - v urd ering a v ulike Kontakt oss ford elingsm etod er Ansatte Forslag til studentoppgave på bachelor- eller masternivå i SLF. Ledige stillingar For studenter Bakgrunn for oppgaven Norge og EU har inngått en ny avtale om handel med landbruksvarer innenfor rammen av Artikkel 19 til EØS-avtalen. I denne avtalen er EU gitt en ny kvote for tollfri eksport av ost til Norge på 2700 tonn. Denne kvoten fordeles per auksjon. I tillegg har EU fra tidligere en kvote på 4500 tonn med ost. Denne fordeles etter søknadstidspunkt og etter historiske kriterier. I henhold til avtalen med EU skal denne fordelingsmetoden avvikles og erstattes med et annet system, som ikke er auksjon. SLF ønsker derfor en vurdering av ulike fordelingsmetoder og fordelingsmetodenes konsekvenser for det norske ostemarkedet. Problemstilling Norge har gitt EU en tollfri eksportkvote på 4500 tonn ost. Denne fordeles p.t. etter søknadstidspunkt og etter historiske kriterier. Denne fordelingsmetoden skal fra 1. januar 2014 erstattes av et nytt fordelingssystem, som ikke skal være auksjon. Hvordan skal et slikt fordelingssystem utformes, gitt at man ønsker en balanse mellom minimering av risiko for markedsforstyrrelser i det norske ostemarkedet, et forutsigbart system for importørene og et system som minimerer den administrative belastningen? Relevant studieretning Denne oppgaven passer for deg som studerer samfunnsøkonomi, men også andre studieretninger kan være relevant under forutsetning om at man har mikroøkonomi i fagkretsen. Ønsket resultat Statens landbruksforvaltning (SLF) ønsker en beskrivelse av det norske ostemarkedet, og en evaluering av ulike fordelingsmetoder og deres påvirkning på det norske ostemarkedet. SLF ønsker en anbefaling til fordelingsmetode som i størst mulig grad tilfredsstiller de kriterier som er gitt under problemstillingen. Hva SLF kan bidra med i prosjektperioden? SLF vil være en samtalepartner og en veileder, og tilbyr også å stille relevant informasjon til rådighet i den grad denne er tilgjengelig. SLF kan bidra med å sette opp møter med relevante myndigheter/næringsliv i den grad det er ønskelig og etterspurt. I den grad det er behov for ytterligere bidrag fra SLF sin side, vil dette bli stilt til rådighet innenfor hensiktsmessige rammer. Kostnadsdekking Skriving av oppgaver lønnes ikke. Eventuelle utlegg som studenten har i forbindelse med prosjektsamarbeidet, for eksempel gjelde reise- og oppholdsutgifter knyttet til å komme til møter i SLF, kan dekkes etter avtale. Kontorplass SLF stiller ikke med egen kontorplass i prosjektperioden, men kan tilby møtefasiliteter. https://www.slf.dep.no/...organisasjon/for-studenter/undersider/Tollfri+ importkvote+ for+ ost+ fra+ EU+ + -+ vurdering+ av+ ulike+ fordelingsmetoder.16681.cms[08.02.2012 15:09:52]
