A general equilibrium evaluation of aggregate welfare effects from improved sectoral efficiency . Empirical evidence for Norway
(Discussion Papers;No. 224, Working paper, 1998)This paper discusses and shows how a CGE model can be used to assess welfare effects of structural policy reforms targeting inefficiency problems at micro levels that normally are not captured in operational CGE-models. ... -
A Statistical Model for Simple, Fast and Reliable Measurement of Poverty. A revised version of DP 415
(Discussion Papers;No. 415, Working paper, 2005)Abstract: The primus inter pares of the UN-approved Millennium Development Goals is to reduce poverty. The only internationally accepted method of estimating poverty requires a measurement of total consumption based on ... -
Distributional and behavioural effects of child care subsidies
(Discussion Papers;No. 135, Working paper, 1995)A methodology to describe the distributional and behavioural effects of child care subsidies is presented within a micro simulation framework. We discuss the effects of changing the governmental policy to support families ... -
Estimating latent total consumption in a household
(Discussion Papers;No. 324, Working paper, 2002)Abstract: This article presents a new way of estimating latent total consumption in a household that may improve the accuracy of studies into permanent income and consumption inequality. While the frequently used total ... -
Evaluating multilateral price indices in a dynamic item universe
(Discussion papers;914, Working paper, 2019-09)Statistics Norway has a long history of using scanner data in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The early research – in Norway as well as internationally – was focused on supermarket data which consists largely of stable ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
The Importance of definitions of data and observation frequen-cies for job and worker flows - Norwegian experiences 1996-1997
(Discussion Papers;No. 278, Working paper, 2000)This paper examines the importance of definitions for establishments and for observation frequency for the resulting job and worker flow rates. In particular, this is of importance when comparing results across countries, ... -
The predictive ability of poverty models : empirical evidence from Uganda
(Discussion Papers;No. 560, Working paper, 2008)Abstract: This paper examines the performance of a particular method for predicting poverty. The method is a supplement to the approach of measuring poverty through a fully-fledged household expenditure survey. As most ... -
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 ...
