A method for improved capital measurement by combining accounts and firm investment data. A revised version
(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 ... -
Aggregation and aggregation biases in production functions : a panel data analysis of translog models
(Discussion Papers;No. 317, Working paper, 2002)Abstract: An applied econometric study of aggregation, based on an unbalanced panel data set for manu-facturing plants is presented. Panel data are informative in examining aggregation of variables, parameters, and ... -
Are lone mothers responsive to policy changes? : the effects of a Norvegian workfare reform on earnings, education, and poverty
(Discussion Papers;No. 533, Working paper, 2008)Abstract: The generous Nordic model of welfare is commonly viewed as an exceptional success both in terms of equality and economic growth. However, it has recently become evident that subgroups of the population with weak ... -
Behavioral multistate duration models : what should they look like?
(Discussion Papers;No. 688, Working paper, 2012)Abstract: This paper discusses how specification of probabilistic models for multistate duration data generated by individual choices should be justified on a priori theoretical grounds. Preferences are assumed represented ... -
Can non-market regulations spur innovations in environmental technologies? A study on firm level patenting
(Discussion papers;754, Working paper, 2013-09)This paper provides new evidence on the role of non-market based (“command-and-control”) regulations in relation to innovations in environmental technologies. While pricing is generally considered the first-best policy ... -
CO2-emissions from Norwegian oil and gas extraction
(Discussion papers;806, Working paper, 2015-04)Emissions from oil and gas extraction matter for the lifecycle emissions of fossil fuels, and account for significant shares of domestic emissions in many fossil fuel exporting countries. In this study we investigate ... -
Constructing panel data estimators by aggregation: A general moment estimator and a suggested synthesis
(Discussion Papers;No. 420, Working paper, 2005)Abstract: A regression equation for panel data with two-way random or fixed effects and a set of individual specific and period specific `within individual' and `within period', estimators of its slope coefficients are ... -
Estimating energy demand elasticities for OECD countries. A dynamic panel data approach
(Discussion Papers;No. 373, Working paper, 2004)Abstract: This paper estimates price and GDP/income elasticities of several energy goods in OECD countries over 1978 to 1999 by applying the one-step GMM estimation method suggested by Arellano and Bond (1991) to a panel ... -
Heterogeneity in returns to scale : a random coefficient analysis with unbalanced panel data
(Discussion Papers;No. 292, Working paper, 2000)Abstract: This paper analyses the importance of scale economies by means of unbalanced plant-level panel data from three Norwegian manufacturing industries. Focus is on heterogeneous technologies, and unlike most previous ... -
Identification, estimation and testing in Panel Data Models with attrition : the role of the Missing at Random Assumption
(Discussion Papers;No. 330, Working paper, 2002)Abstract: This paper discusses identification, estimation and testing in panel data models with attrition. We focus on a situation which often occurs in the analysis of firms: Attrition (exit) is endogenous and depends ... -
Income responses to tax changes : evidence from the Norwegian tax reform
(Discussion Papers;No. 260, Working paper, 1999)Several studies, conducted on U.S. data, have found rather strong income responses to changes in marginal tax rates, when treating tax reforms as "natural experiments" and applying the differences-of-differences estimator ... -
Increased price markup from union coordination : OECD panel evidence
(Discussion Papers;No. 470, Working paper, 2006)Abstract: Existing literature have focused on the influence of institutional factors on wage determination when explaining the prolonged cross-country differences in unemployment. Although coordination of wage bargaining ... -
Micro data on capital inputs: attempts to reconcile stock and flow information
(Discussion Papers;No. 268, Working paper, 1999)We evaluate consequences of some important assumptions ofthe perpetual inventory method of capital stock calculation under geometric depreciation. The data are plant-level panel data from the Norwegian manufacturing ... -
Modelling ‘crime-proneness’ : a comparison of models for repeated count outcomes
(Discussion Papers;611, Working paper, 2010)In the criminal career literature, the individual-level age-crime relationship is commonly modelled using generalized linear mixed models, where between-individual heterogeneity is then handled through specifying random ... -
Monetary aspects of business cycles in Norway: an exploratory study based on historical data
(Discussion papers;130, Working paper, 1994-10)Hall's (1988) approach to study price-cost margins is adapted to simultaneously estimate price-cost margins and scale economies from a panel of plant level data. The paper shows how this methodology provides a very flexible ... -
Panel data with errors-in-variables : a note on essential and redundant orthogonality conditions in GMM-estimation
(Discussion Papers;No. 190, Working paper, 1997)General Method of Moments (GMM) estimation of a linear one-equation model using panel data with errors-in-variables is considered. To eliminate fixed individual heterogeneity, the equation is differenced across one or more ... -
Parametric aggregation of random coefficient Cobb-Douglasproduction functions : evidence from manufacturing industries
(Discussion Papers;No. 342, Working paper, 2003)Abstract: A panel data study of parametric aggregation of a production function is presented. A four-factor Cobb-Douglas function with random and jointly normal coefficients and jointly log-normal inputs is used. Since, ... -
Skill composition: exploring a wage-based skill measure
(Discussion Papers;No. 531, Working paper, 2008)Most studies of heterogeneous labor inputs use classifications of high skilled and low skilled based on workers' educational attainment. In this study we explore a wage-based skill measure using information from a wage ... -
Testing for market power in the Norwegian primary aluminium industry
(Discussion papers;No.132, Working paper, 1994-11)The hypothesis of market power in the Norwegian primary aluminium industry is tested using plant-level panel data. Economies of scale are found to be present, and Norwegian aluminium plants charge a procyclical price-cost ... -
The entrepreneurial earnings puzzle. Evidence from matched person-firm data
(Discussion papers;789, Working paper, 2014-11)Empirical studies show that the pecuniary returns to an individual's decision to switch from wage employment to entrepreneurship are low. We reconsider the pecuniary gains from this transition using a unified and flexible ...
