Growth and innovation policy in a small, open economy: Should you stimulate domestic R&D or exports?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)In small and open economies, absorption of foreign knowledge through international trade often plays a more important role for domestic innovation and growth than investment in domestic R&D. This suggests that trade policies ... -
Health status after cancer: does it matter which hospital you belong to?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010)Background: Survival rates are widely used to compare the quality of cancer care. However, the extent to which cancer survivors regain full physical or cognitive functioning is not captured by this statistic. To address ... -
Identifying and reducing response burdens in internet business surveys
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2004)Response burden is of great concern in survey data collection activities. Despite extensive efforts on the part of data collection agencies to reduce the burden the problem seems to prevail. In this article we discuss how ... -
Labor supply responses and welfare effects from replacing current tax rules by a flat tax: Empirical evidence from Italy, Norway and Sweden
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2000)This paper employs a microeconometric framework to examine the labor supply responses and the welfare effects from replacing current tax systems in Italy, Norway and Sweden by a flat tax on total income. The flat tax rates ... -
Likelihood and statistical evidence in survey sampling
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2003)A comparison is made of the two concepts, generalized likelihood (from Bjørnstad, 1996) and Royall's measure of empirical statistical evidence in prediction problems, here called evidential likelihood, applied to ... -
Measuring long-term inequality of opportunity
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)Abstract In this paper, we introduce a new family of rank-dependent measures of inequality and social welfare consistent with the equality of opportunity (EOp) principle. The proposed framework can be used to measure ... -
Measuring the benefits from public services: the effects of local government spending on the distribution of income in Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2006)The purpose of this paper is to provide an evaluation of how local public in-kind benefits affect the distribution of income in Norway. To this end, a method that accounts for differences between municipalities in capacity ... -
Modeling and estimation methods for household size in the presence of nonignorable nonresponse applied to the Norwegian consumer expenditure survey

A note on post-stratification when analyzing binary survey data subject to nonresponse
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 1999)In this article we presents some results regarding the effect of post-stratification when analyzing binary survey data to nonresponse. Assuming that nonresponse depends on the variable of interest which is missing for ... -
A note on the effect of auxiliary information on the variance of cluster sampling
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2009)A model-based synthesis is presented for a number of well-known results concerning the design effect of cluster sampling. This helps to yield a simpler perspective, making the design-based expressions more transparent. ... -
On some common practices of systematic sampling
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2008)Systematic sampling is widely used technique in survey sampling. It is easy to execute, whether the units are to be selected with equal probability or with probabilities proportional to auxiliary sizes. It can be very ... -
On the Bias in Gross Labour Flow Estimates Due to Nonresponse and Misclassification
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2005)Abstract: I evaluate and compare the bias due to nonresponse and misclassification in the sample gross labour flow estimates from the Norwegian Labour Force Survey (LFS). These help also to explain the level and net change ... -
