    • Non-stationary inflow and duration of unemployment 

      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 ...
    • Population ageing and fiscal sustainability : an integrated micro-macro analysis of required tax changes 

      Aaberge, Rolf; Colombino, Ugo; Holmøy, Erling; Strøm, Birger; Wennemo, Tom (Discussion Papers;No. 367, Working paper, 2004)
      Abstract: Most studies on the economic consequences of ageing rely on Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) models that account for feedback mechanisms through changes in relative prices, tax bases etc. However, since ...
    • Unemployment shocks and income distribution : how did the Nordic countries fare during their crises? 

      Aaberge, Rolf; Björklund, Anders; Jäntti, Markus; Pedersen, Peder J.; Smith, Nina; Wennemo, Tom (Discussion Papers;No. 201, Working paper, 1997)
      We analyse how inequality of disposable income evolved in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden during the late 1980s and early 1990s when unemployment rose dramatically in all four countries. We find that a standard measure ...
