Høyer Peter Ahlvik and Hans Hjortsberg Financed by: Subject heading European Commission DG XVII energy saving, goods transport, measures and actions, rural resource based industries Summary This report presents the results from a project on energy saving in transport of goods. It has been a pilot project in rural natural resource based industries in three Nordic countries. The main object of the project has been to develop and implement actions, strategies and measures for improved energy efficiency in transport of goods. The project has used 3 cases of natural resource based industries, one from each of the three Nordic countries Norway, Sweden and Finland. The cases are fish export in Norway, wood (paper) export in Finland and agricultural products (mainly grain) in Sweden. Pilot actions have been carried out in one company each in Norway and Finland and in two companies in Sweden. The project constituted 3 main phases: 1) Basic analytic activities, 2) Pilot actions in the “case”-companies and 3) Actions and measures in regional policies. Phase 1 included an analysis of transport means, transport volumes, load factors and energy use in transport of goods in the 3 Nordic countries. Historical data back to 1970 and prognosis up to year 2020 for the three major modes of goods transport road, rail and sea were analysed. This phase also included a literature survey of energy saving in transport of goods. Phase 2 included pilot actions at three levels; reduction of fuel consumption, increased load factor and transfer of goods from road to rail and sea. In Phase 3 an analysis of measures and actions in regional policies for energy saving in the goods transport in the 3 Nordic countries was carried out.

The content of the report is the sole responsibility of the publishers, and it does not in any way represent the views of the Commission or its services. The main object of the project has been to develop and implement actions, strategies and measures for improved energy efficiency in transport of goods. The report is edited and partly written by researcher Otto Andersen at Western Norway Research Institute, who also has been responsible for co-ordinating the project. The report is based on contributions from several other researchers both at Western Norway Research Institute and the two partners Ecotraffic R&D in Sweden and VTT Building and Transport in Finland. Each contribution is however based on comments and suggestions by all three partners. Several people within the transport sector have contributed to the content of the report, and we are most thankful for all their help. Karl Georg Høyer has headed the project.

  • Foreign Ownership in Norwegian Enterprises
    FOREIGN OWNERSHIP IN NORWEGIAN ENTERPRISES SAMFUNNSØKONOMISKE STUDIER NR. 14 FOREIGN OWNERSHIP IN NORWEGIAN ENTERPRISES UTENLANDSKE EIERINTERESSER I NORSKE BEDRIFTER By/Av Arthur Stonehill STATISTISK SENTRALBYRÅ CENTRAL BUREAU OF STATISTICS OF NORWAY OSLO 1965 Forord Den avhandlingen som her legges fram som nr. 14 i serien Samfunns- økonomiske studier, er utarbeidd av amerikaneren Arthur Stonehill. Materialet til avhandlingen samlet han under opphold i Norge i tida 1962 til 1964. Det omfatter resultatene av intervjuer og enquéte-undersøkelser som dr. Stonehill selv foretok, opplysninger fra Industri- og håndverksdeparte- mentet og Norges Bank og diverse statistiske oppgaver som er utarbeidd av Statistisk Sentralbyrå. Manuskriptet ble i hovedsak utarbeidd mens dr. Stonehill var tilsatt i Statistisk Sentralbyrå, men fikk sin endelige form etter at han var vendt tilbake til U.S.A. På grunnlag av denne avhandlingen er Arthur Stonehill tildelt graden doctor of philosophy ved University of Cali- fornia, Berkeley. Det materiale som er samlet og analysert i denne avhandlingen, kaster nytt lys over de utenlandske investeringer i norsk næringsliv. Avhandlingens første del gir en inngående historisk analyse av norsk kapitalimport og direkte utenlandske investeringer i norske bedrifter og foretak fra 1814 til 1964. Forfatteren analyserer sammenhengen mellom utenlandsk finansiering, betalingsbalansen og den totale investeringsvirk- somhet innenfor den industrialiseringsprosess Norge gjennomgikk. Analysen omfatter også en undersøkelse av virkningene av skiftende konjunkturer og norsk lovgivning. De større utenlandsk-finansierte foretakenes oppkomst og betydning følges fra næring til næring gjennom de hovedfaser utviklingen har gjennomløpt i dette tidsrommet. I annen del av avhandlingen reiser forfatteren spørsmålet om de uten- landske investeringene har vært til fordel eller ulempe for norsk økonomi.
