    • A framework for empirical modelling of consumer demand with latent quality attributes 

      Dagsvik, John K.; Zhu, Yu; Aaberge, Rolf (Discussion Papers;No. 229, Working paper, 1998)
      This paper discusses a particular approach to empirical consumer demand modelling when products are differentiated and the product attributes are unobservable. In contrast to the traditional approach to this problem, see ...
    • 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 theory for ranking distribution functions 

      Aaberge, Rolf; Havnes, Tarjei; Mogstad, Magne (Discussion papers;763, Working paper, 2013-11)
      When is one distribution (of income, consumption, or some other economic variable) more equal or better than another? This question has proven difficult to answer in situations where distribution functions intersect and ...

      Aaberge, Rolf; Colombino, Ugo (Discussion Papers;No. 619, Working paper, 2010)
      Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to introduce and adopt a generalised version of Roemer's (1998) Equality of Opportunity (EOp) framework, which we call extended EOp, for analysing second-best optimal income taxation. ...

      The purpose of this paper is to introduce and adopt a generalised version of Roemer's (1998) Equality of Opportunity (EOp) framework, which we call extended EOp, for analysing second-best optimal income taxation. Unlike ...
    • Analyse av ulikhet i fordelinger av levekår 

      Andersen, Arne; Aaberge, Rolf (Rapporter;1983/21, Report, 1983)
      Ett av hovedformålene med en levekårsstatistikk er å belyse fordelingen av levekårene i befolkningen. En slik generell formulering av formålet kan imidlertid presiseres i en rekke ulike problemstillinger. Det er ganske ...
    • Arbeidstilbud blant innvandrere : Effektivitets- og fordelingsvirkninger av skattereformer 

      Bhuller, Manudeep; Aaberge, Rolf (Rapporter;2012/30, Report, 2012-11-07)
      I løpet av perioden 1979–2006 har effekten av en lønnsøkning på arbeidstilbudet definert ved antall arbeidstimer endret seg fra å være positiv til å bli negativ; dvs. at mens en lønnsøkning tidligere ga et øket samlet ...
    • Assimilation effects on poverty among immigrants in Norway 

      Galloway, Taryn Ann; Aaberge, Rolf (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2005)
      This paper discusses the question of whether or not the high incidence of poverty among immigrants in Norway persists even after immigrants have been in the country for a long period, i.e. after they have had the opportunity ...
    • Asymptotic distribution theory of empirical rank-dependent measures of inequality 

      Aaberge, Rolf (Discussion Papers;No. 402, Working paper, 2005)
      Abstract: A major aim of most income distribution studies is to make comparisons of income inequality across time for a given country and/or compare and rank different countries according to the level of income inequality. ...
    • Axiomatic characterization of the Gini coefficient and Lorenz curve orderings 

      Aaberge, Rolf (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2001)
      This paper is concerned with distributions of income and the ordering of related Lorenz curves. By introducing appropriate preference relations on the set of Lorenz curves, two alternative axiomatic characterizations of ...
    • Birds of a feather flock together : the impact of choice of spouse on family labor income inequality 

      Aslaksen, Iulie; Wennemo, Tom; Aaberge, Rolf (Discussion Papers;No. 276, Working paper, 2000)
      This paper discusses the effects of the substantial rise in labor force participation of married women on the level, structure and trend in family labor income inequality. An interesting question is to what extent the rise ...
    • Birds of a feather flock together’: the impact of choice of spouse on family labor income inequality 

      Aslaksen, Iulie; Wennemo, Tom; Aaberge, Rolf (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2005)
      This paper analyzes to what extent the rise in women's labor force participation has led to ‘flocking together’, i.e. whether women with high labor income tend to be married to men with high labor income, or vice versa. ...
    • Characterization and measurement of duration dependence in hazard rate models 

      Aaberge, Rolf (Discussion Papers;No. 319, Working paper, 2002)
      Abstract: As is known from the economic literature, the notion of negative/positive duration dependence defined in terms of a decreasing/increasing hazard function can solely be used as a basis for revealing whether ...
    • Choosing measures of inequality for empirical applications 

      Aaberge, Rolf (Discussion Papers;No. 158, Working paper, 1995)
      This paper is concerned with the distribution of income and the problem of choosing summary measures of inequality for empirical applications. By introducing a simple transformation of the Lorenz curve one is led to three ...
