Probabilistic models for qualitative choice behavior : an introduction
(Documents;2000/1, Working paper, 2000)Preface: The econometric discipline has been criticized for being too similar to mathematical statistics and only to a limited degree linked to formalized theoretical models. This is particularly the case as regards formulation ... -
Random coefficients and unbalanced panels: an application on data from Norwegian chemical plants
(Discussion Papers;No. 235, Working paper, 1998)A framework for analyzing substitution and scale properties, and technical change from plant-level panel data is presented. Focus is on comparing the constant and random coefficient specification of the substitution and ... -
Ranking intersecting Lorenz curves
(Discussion Papers;No. 271, Working paper, 2000)This paper is concerned with the problem of ranking Lorenz curves in situations where the Lorenz curves intersect and no unambiguous ranking can be attained without introducing weaker ranking criteria than first-degree ... -
Robust inequality comparisons
(Discussion Papers;No. 623, Working paper, 2010)Abstract: This paper is concerned with the problem of ranking Lorenz curves in situations where the Lorenz curves intersect and no unambiguous ranking can be attained without introducing weaker ranking criteria than ... -
Simulated maximum likelihood using tilted importance sampling
(Discussion Papers;No. 540, Working paper, 2008)Abstract: This paper develops the important distinction between tilted and simple importance sampling as methods for simulating likelihood functions for use in simulated maximum likelihood. It is shown that tilted ... -
Small continuous surveys and the Kalman filter
(Discussion Papers;No. 333, Working paper, 2002)Abstract: The time series nature of repeated surveys is seldom taken into account. I present a statistical model of repeated surveys and construct a computationally feasible estimator based on the Kalman filter. The novelty ... -
Statistikk som bistand
(Journal article, 2011)I Norge har statistikk en viktig funksjon i faktabasert samfunnsplanlegging. Vårt nasjonale statistikksystem bidrar til at politiske beslutninger kan tas på grunnlag av et solid statistikkgrunnlag. Dette systemet bygger ... -
Statistikk som pådriver for fremskritt
(Journal article, 2009)Tre initiativ for å måle fremskritt ”beyond GDP” eller bruttonasjonalproduktet, er det globale prosjektet ”Measuring the progress of societies”, som gjennomføres i regi av Organisasjonen for økonomisk samarbeid og utvikling ... -
A stochastic model for the utility of income
(Discussion Papers;No. 358, Working paper, 2003)Abstract: In this paper we discuss a general framework for analyzing labor supply behavior in the presence of complicated budget- and quantity constraints of which some are unobserved. The point of departure is that an ... -
Stochastic properties and functional forms in life cycle : models for transitions into and out of employment
(Discussion Papers;No. 24, Working paper, 1987)The paper discusses a justification for a particular econometric framework for analysing transitions into and out of employment in an intertemporal context with uncertainty. The analysis extends the models found in the ... -
Survey sampling : a necessary journey in the prediction world
(Discussion Papers;608, Working paper, 2010)The design-approach is evaluated, using a likelihood approach to survey sampling. It is argued that a model-based approach is unavoidable from a scientific point of view. Estimating population quantities can then be regarded ... -
Synthetic graphical modelling of binary panel data subject to non-response : a case study
(Discussion Papers;No. 220, Working paper, 1998)The present paper applies synthetic graphical modelling to the binary panel data of the Muscatine Coronary Risk Factor Study, where the observations are subject to non-response. The methodology combines the techniques ... -
The dynamic factor model revisited: the identification problem remains
(Discussion Papers;No. 369, Working paper, 2004)Abstract: The lack of identification of short run run effects in a system of regression equations consisting of a dynamic translog cost function and cost share equations derived from this cost function is shown. Keywords: ... -
The Effect of using administrative registers in economic short term statistics: The Norwegian labour force survey as a case study
(Discussion Papers;No. 273, Working paper, 2000)In case of a single survey at one time point, it is well known that combining administrative registers with survey data often substantially improves the quality of statistic production. However, in short term statistics ... -
The elasticity of substitution of superlative price indices
(Discussion Papers;No. 407, Working paper, 2005)Abstract: The paper presents a method for computing the curvature implicit in the use of superlative price indices. It extends the quadratic lemma and allows us to compute the elasticity of substitution of the underlying ... -
Towards universal childhood immunisation. An evaluation of measurement methods
(Report;2009/45, Report, 2009)Childhood immunisation programming is an essential part of every country’s health programme to reduce vaccine preventable diseases. The Global Alliance on Vaccines and Immunisation (GAVI) was established to help fund and ... -
Two-Stage sampling from a prediction point of view
(Discussion Papers;No. 383, Working paper, 2004)Abstract: This paper considers the problem of estimating the population total in two-stage cluster sampling when cluster sizes are unknown, making use of a population model arising basically from a variance component ... -
UMP unbiased tests for multiparameter testing problems with restricted alternatives
(Discussion Papers;No. 212, Working paper, 1998)Applications of the standard theory of UMP unbiased tests depends on conditions which in general are difficult to verify. In the present paper, however, we suggest more simple rules for applying this theory for regular ... -
A unit-error theory for register-based household statistics
(Discussion Papers;598, Working paper, 2009)The next round of census will be completely register-based in all the Nordic countries. Household is a key statistical unit in this context, which however does not exist as such in the administrative registers available, ... -
Using the Helmert-transformation to reduce dimensionality in a mixed model: An application to a wage equation with worker and firm heterogeneity
(Discussion Papers;No. 667, Working paper, 2011)Abstract: A model for matched data with two types of unobserved heterogeneity is considered – one related to the observation unit, the other to units to which the observation units are matched. One or both of the unobserved ...
