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 ... -
Aggregation and aggregation biases in production functions : a panel data analysis of translog models
Biørn, Erik; Skjerpen, Terje (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 ... -
Constructing panel data estimators by aggregation: A general moment estimator and a suggested synthesis
Biørn, Erik (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 ... -
Consumer demand in Norwegian households 1973-1977. A data base for micro-econometrics
Biørn, Erik; Jansen, Eilev S. (Rapporter;1980/4, Report, 1979-12-20)Perspektivene for okonometriske konsumanalyser ble betydelig utvidet da Statistisk Sentralbyrå gikk over til løpende innsamling av individuelle forbruksdata fra og med året 1974. Tidligere ble det gjennomført større ... -

Distribution of Preferences and Measurement Errors in a Disaggregated Expenditure System
Aasness, Jørgen; Biørn, Erik; Skjerpen, Terje (Discussion papers;149, Working paper, 1995-12)A complete system of consumer expenditure functions with 28 commodity groups is modelled and estimated by means of Norwegian household panel data. Measurement errors are carefully modelled. Total consumption expenditure ... -

Energy price changes, and induced scrapping and revaluation of capital a putty clay approach
Biørn, Erik (Discussion Papers;No. 16, Working paper, 1986-09-15)The paper presents a framework for analyzing the effect of unanticipated energy price changes on the firms' plans for scrapping of capital and on the induced changes in the value of capital. A putty-clay vintage model with ... -
Engel functions, panel data and latent variables
Aasness, Jørgen; Biørn, Erik; Skjerpen, Terje (Discussion Paper;No. 41, Working paper, 1988-12)A system of consumer expenditure functions is estimated from Norwegian household budget data.

Errors in Variables and Panel Data: The Labour Demand Response to Permanent changes in Output
Biørn, Erik; Klette, Tor Jakob (Discussion papers;125, Working paper, 1994-08)This paper examines panel data modelling with latent variables in analyzing log-linear relations between inputs and output of firms. Our particular focus is on (i) the "increasing returns to scale puzzle" for labour input ... -
Estimating Seemingly Unrelated Regression Models from Incomplete Cross-Section / Time-Series Data
Biørn, Erik (Rapporter;1981/33, Report, 1981-11-26)Most of the theoretical contributions to models for handling combined cross-section/time-series data are based on the assumption that complete time-series of equal length exist for all observation units. This paper is ... -
Expectations, substitution, and scrapping in a putty clay model
Frenger, Petter; Biørn, Erik (Discussion Papers;No. 17, Working paper, 1986-08-15)The paper presents a putty-clay framework for analyzing the effect of changing expectations about future prices on a firm's choice of technique, and on its anticipated scrapping of capital equipment. Particular attention ... -
