      Halvorsen, Bente; Larsen, Bodil Merethe (Discussion Papers;No. 537, Working paper, 2008)
      Abstract: Differences in estimated parameters depending on the frequency of aggregate data have been reported in several fields of economic research. Some differences are due to seasonal variations in demand, but temporal ...

    • When can micro properties be used to predict aggregate demand? 

      Halvorsen, Bente (Discussion Papers;No. 452, Working paper, 2006)
      Abstract: Heterogeneity in consumer behaviour creates differences in demand responses, which may create problems with aggregation across consumers. If aggregation problems exist, results from estimation based on aggregate ...
