    • Household production, consumption and time allocation in Peru 

      Dagsvik, John K.; Aaberge, Rolf (Discussion Paper;No. 58, Working paper, 1991-02)
      Based on the neo-classical theory of time allocation, consumption and production we estimate a particular econometric model for Lima and the rural areas of Peru. This model is well suited for carrying out policy simulations ...

    • Income inequality and income mobility in the Scandinavian countries compared to the United States 

      Aaberge, Rolf; Björklund, Anders; Jäntti, Markus; Palme, Mårten; Pedersen, Peder J.; Smith, Nina; Wennemo, Tom (Discussion Papers;No. 168, Working paper, 1996)
      This paper compares income inequality and income mobility in the Scandinavian countries and the United States during the 1980's. The results demonstrate that inequality is greater in the United States than in the Scandinavian ...

    • Income mobility as an equalizer of permanent income 

      Aaberge, Rolf; Mogstad, Magne (Discussion papers;769, Working paper, 2014-01)
      Do market-orientated economies with relatively large cross-sectional levels of inequality have higher income mobility and therefore less permanent inequality? To answer this question, we introduce a formal representation ...

    • Inequality in current and lifetime income 

      Aaberge, Rolf; Mogstad, Magne (Discussion papers;726, Working paper, 2012-12)
      Standard theory of intertemporal choice predicts that people smooth out life-cycle changes in income by borrowing and saving, such that their standard of living in any given year depends more on lifetime income than on ...

    • Inequality in distributions of hours of work and consumption in Peru 

      Aaberge, Rolf; Dagsvik, John K. (Discussion Paper;No. 59, Working paper, 1991-02)
      Firstly, this paper examines the relative differences in observed hours of work, consumption (income) and welfare among individuals and households in Peru in 1985-1986. For this purpose a Gini-related measure of inequality ...

    • Labor supply in Italy 

      Aaberge, Rolf; Colombino, Ugo; Strøm, Steinar (Discussion Paper;No. 92, Working paper, 1993-07)
      The present study tries to overcome some of the shortcomings of the standard empirical labor supply models by applying an alternative approach which allows for complex non-convex budget sets, highly non-linear labor supply ...

    • Labor supply, income distribution and excess burden of personal income taxation in Norway 

      Aaberge, Rolf; Dagsvik, John K.; Strøm, Steinar (Discussion Paper;No. 54, Working paper, 1990-12)
      This paper presents the results of an empirical analysis of labor supply for married couples in NorwaS, based on a new modelling approach. This new framework is particularly convenient for dealing with'complicated budget ...

    • Labor supply, income distribution and excess burden of personal income taxation in Sweden 

      Aaberge, Rolf; Dagsvik, John K.; Strøm, Steinar (Discussion Paper;No. 53, Working paper, 1990-12)
      The paper presents results from a labor supply study on Swedish data. The estimated labor supply model is based on a new methodological approach. This approach is well suited for taking into account complex nonlinear and ...

    • Labour Supply models 

      Aaberge, Rolf; Colombino, Ugo (Discussion papers;807, Working paper, 2015-04)
      This paper is published as Chapter 7 of Handbook of Microsimulation Modelling edited by Cathal O’Donoghue, and issued in the series Contributions to Economic Analysis by Emerald Publishing Group. The purpose of the paper ...

    • Local governments, in-kind transfers, and economic inequality 

      Aaberge, Rolf; Eika, Lasse; Langørgen, Audun; Mogstad, Magne (Discussion papers;888, Working paper, 2018-11)
      We examine how in-kind transfers provided by local governments affect economic inequality. The allocation of in-kind transfers to households and the adjustment for differences in needs are derived from a model of local ...

    • Mean-spread-preserving transformations 

      Aaberge, Rolf (Discussion Papers;No. 360, Working paper, 2003)
      Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to define various mean-spread-preserving transformations, which can be considered as generalized versions of the mean-Gini-preserving transformation. The mean-Ginipreserving tran ...

    • Measuring long-term inequality of opportunity 

      Aaberge, Rolf; Mogstad, Magne; Peragine, Vito (Discussion Papers;No. 620, Working paper, 2010)
      Abstract: In this paper, we introduce and apply a general framework for evaluating long-term income distributions according to the Equality of Opportunity principle (EOp). Our framework allows for both an ex-ante and an ...

    • Measuring the benefits from public services : the effects of local government spending on the distribution of income in Norway 

      Aaberge, Rolf; Langørgen, Audun (Discussion Papers;No. 339, Working paper, 2003)
      Abstract: 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 ...

    • Modeling concentration and dispersion in multiple regression 

      Aaberge, Rolf; Bjerve, Steinar; Doksum, Kjell (Discussion Papers;No. 412, Working paper, 2005)
      We consider concepts and models that are useful for measuring how strongly the distribution of a positive response Y is concentrated near a value y0 > 0 with a focus on how concentration varies as a function of covariates. ...

    • Multidimensional poverty and inequality 

      Aaberge, Rolf; Brandolini, Andrea (Discussion papers;792, Working paper, 2014-12)
      This paper examines different approaches to the measurement of multidimensional inequality and poverty. First, it outlines three aspects preliminary to any multidimensional study: the selection of the relevant dimensions; ...

      Aaberge, Rolf; Wennemo, Tom (Discussion Paper;No. 52, Working paper, 1990-10)
      This paper is concerned with econometric problems and methods involved in estimating duration models using data on incomplete unemployment spells provided by standard labor force surveys. In particular it considers how the ...

    • On the definition and measurement of chronic poverty 

      Aaberge, Rolf; Mogstad, Magne (Discussion Papers;No. 497, Working paper, 2007)
      Abstract: As an alternative to the conventional methods for measuring chronic poverty, this paper proposes an interpersonal comparable measure of permanent income as a basis for defining and measuring chronic poverty. ...
