    • A generalized single equation error correction model and its application to quarterly data 

      Biørn, Erik; Olsen, Hilde (Discussion Paper;No. 19, Working paper, 1986-12-01)
      In this paper, we specify a class of single equation 'error correction' models on the basis of a general autoregressive-distributed lag regression equation with one regressor and a white noise disturbance. This relationship ...

    • A Kantian approach to sustainable development indicators for climate change 

      Greaker, Mads; Stoknes, Per Espen; Alfsen, Knut H.; Ericson, Torgeir (Discussion papers;718, Working paper, 2012-11)
      Agenda 21 required countries to develop and regularly update a national set of indicators for sustainable development. Several countries now have such sets also including separate indicators for climate change. Some of ...

    • A laboratory stress-test of bid, double and offer auctions 

      Søberg, Morten (Discussion Papers;No. 327, Working paper, 2002)
      Abstract: This paper reports on the empirical properties of the bid auction (buyers propose prices), offer auction (sellers suggest prices) and double auction (both buyers and seller initiate price quotes). These trading ...

    • A linear demand system within a Seemingly Unrelated Time Series Equation framework 

      Raknerud, Arvid; Skjerpen, Terje; Swensen, Anders Rygh (Discussion Papers;No. 345, Working paper, 2003)
      Abstract: We consider a Seemingly Unrelated Time Series Equations framework for the linear Almost Ideal Demand system. The framework is applied to a consumer demand system covering nine non-durable commodities. We test ...

    • A macromodel of local government spending behaviour in Norway 

      Langørgen, Audun (Discussion Papers;No. 117, Working paper, 1994)
      A cooperative bargaining model is adapted to the setting of local government in Norway. Aggregate consumption, the capital stock and net financial wealth in the local public sector are endogenized. The origin of intertia ...

    • A method for improved capital measurement by combining accounts and firm investment data. A revised version 

      Raknerud, Arvid; Rønningen, Dag; Skjerpen, Terje (Discussion Papers;No. 365, Working paper, 2007)
      Abstract: We propose a new method for estimating capital stocks at the firm level by combining business accounts information and investment data. The method also produces capital estimates at the sector or industry level ...

    • A method of weighting adjustment for survey data subject to nonignorable nonresponse 

      Zhang, Li-Chun (Discussion Papers;No. 311, Working paper, 2001)
      Abstract: Weighting adjustment is a standard quasi-randomization approach for survey data subject to nonresponse (Little, 1986). The existing methods are typically based on the assumption that nonresponse is independent ...

    • A Note on Post-stratification when Analyzing Binary Survey Data Subject to Non-response 

      Zhang, Li-Chun (Discussion papers;218, Working paper, 1998-04)
      In this paper we follow up two notes of Thomsen (1973, 1978) and present some results on the estimation effect of post-stratification when analyzing binary survey data subject to non-response. Using an alternative ...

    • A practical approach for modelbased poverty prediction 

      Mathiassen, Astrid; Øvensen, Geir (Rapporter;2007/9, Report, 2007)
      The objective of this report is to provide practical guidance for producing poverty estimates based on ”light” household surveys. Mathiassen (2005) outlines the theoretical model. A household budget survey is used to ...

    • A prediction approach to sampling design 

      Zhang, Li-Chun; Thomsen, Ib (Discussion Papers;No. 440, Working paper, 2005)
      Abstract: Standard approaches to sample surveys take as the point of departure the estimation of one or several population totals (or means), or a few predefined sub-totals (or sub-means). While the model-based prediction ...

    • A short run dynamic equilibrium model of the norwegian production sectors 

      Frenger, Petter (Discussion Papers;No. 4, Working paper, 1985-03-25)

    • A state space approach for estimating VAR models for panel data with latent dynamic components 

      Raknerud, Arvid (Discussion Papers;No. 295, Working paper, 2001)
      Abstract: The econometric literature offers various modeling approaches for analyzing micro data in combination with time series of aggregate data. This paper discusses the estimation of a VAR model that allows unobserved ...

    • A Statistical Model for Simple, Fast and Reliable Measurement of Poverty. A revised version of DP 415 

      Mathiassen, Astrid (Discussion Papers;No. 415, Working paper, 2005)
      Abstract: The primus inter pares of the UN-approved Millennium Development Goals is to reduce poverty. The only internationally accepted method of estimating poverty requires a measurement of total consumption based on ...

    • A structural approach for analyzing fiscal equalization 

      Langørgen, Audun (Discussion papers;715, Working paper, 2012-11)
      Many countries apply cost-equalization and/or fiscal capacity equalization formulas to enable subnational governments to provide comparable service standards at comparable tax rates. This paper demonstrates how measures ...

    • A structural approach for measuring fiscal disparities 

      Langørgen, Audun; Aaberge, Rolf (Discussion Papers;No. 254, Working paper, 1999)
      Fiscal disparities arise from differences in costs and capacity to produce a standard package of public services. This paper proposes to use a structural modelling approach as basis for measuring fiscal disparities across ...

    • A study of Norwegian local government behaviour in a dynamic context 

      Kerimova, Olga (Documents;2011/6, Working paper, 2011)
      Using previous work on the subject as a foundation, Norwegian local government spending behaviour is analysed in a dynamic framework facilitated by a panel dataset, combining municipality data for the years 2001 to 2008. ...

    • A stylized satellite account for human capital 

      Liu, Gang (Discussion papers;816, Working paper, 2015-08)
