A state space approach for estimating VAR models for panel data with latent dynamic components
(Discussion Papers;No. 295, Working paper, 2001)Abstract: The econometric literature offers various modeling approaches for analyzing micro data in combination with time series of aggregate data. This paper discusses the estimation of a VAR model that allows unobserved ... -
Criminometrics, latent variables, panel data, and different types of crime
(Discussion Papers;No. 124, Working paper, 1994)A behavioural model of crime is developed and applied to panel data on the number of crimes and clear-ups for the 53 police districts in Norway for the period 1970-78. Data on both total crime and on 12 different types of ... -
Energy flexibility and technological progress with multioutput production : application on Norwegian pulp and paper industries
(Discussion Papers;No. 318, Working paper, 2002)Abstract: We analyse the energy flexibility and technological change in the pulp and paper industry by applying a multioutput production function. The pulp and paper industry mostly consists of heterogeneous firms. They ... -
Engel elasticities, pseudo-maximum likelihood estimation and bootstrapped standard errors : a case study
(Discussion Papers;No. 532, Working paper, 2008)Abstract: Estimation of standard errors of Engel elasticities within the framework of a linear structural model formulated on two-wave panel data is considered. The complete demand system is characterized by measurement ... -
Exit dynamics of start-up firms. Does profit matter?
(Discussion papers;706, Working paper, 2012-10)While little attention has been paid to the role of profitability in the empirical literature on firm exit, we employ a detailed recently established database of Norwegian manufacturing firms to identify the extent to which ... -
Exit dynamics with adjustment costs
(Discussion Papers;No. 442, Working paper, 2005)Abstract: We use the Stock and Wise approximation of stochastic dynamic programming in order to identify the extent to which profitability can explain exit behavior. In our econometric model, heterogeneous firms engage ... -
Exit dynamics with rational expectations
(Discussion Papers;No. 291, Working paper, 2000)Abstract: We develop an econometric model for firm exit, using stochastic dynamic programming (SDP) as a starting point. According to SDP, the value of an operating firm can be written as the sum of (i) the net present ... -
Explaining the change in skill structure of labour demand in Norwegian manufacturing
(Discussion Papers;No. 293, Working paper, 2000)Abstract: In most OECD-countries, labour demand has shifted from unskilled to skilled over time. Many analyses of this phenomenon focus on either the effect of technical change, capital-skill complementarity or labour-labour ... -
A Framework for analyzing rank ordered panel data with application to automobile demand
(Discussion Papers;No. 480, Working paper, 2006)Abstract: In this paper we develop a framework for analyzing panel data with observations on rank ordered alternatives that allows for correlated random taste shifters across time and across alternatives. As a special ... -
Heterogeneity, productivity and selection: an empirical study of Norwegian manufacturing firms
(Discussion Papers;No. 401, Working paper, 2005)Abstract: How do firms differ, and why do they differ even within narrowly defined industries? Using evidence from a new panel data set for four high-tech, manufacturing industries covering a 10-year period, we show how ... -
How and why do Firms differ?
(Discussion Papers;No. 320, Working paper, 2002)Abstract: How do firms differ, and why do they differ even within narrowly defined industries? Using evidence from six high-tech, manufacturing industries covering a 24-year period, we show that differences in sales, ... -
Identification, estimation and testing in Panel Data Models with attrition : the role of the Missing at Random Assumption
(Discussion Papers;No. 330, Working paper, 2002)Abstract: This paper discusses identification, estimation and testing in panel data models with attrition. We focus on a situation which often occurs in the analysis of firms: Attrition (exit) is endogenous and depends ... -
Individual heterogeneity and price responses in tobacco consumption : a two-commodity analysis of unbalanced panel data
(Discussion Papers;No. 294, Working paper, 2001)Abstract: The paper presents a panel data analysis of tobacco demand. The purpose is threefold: (i) to measure income, own-price, and cross-price responses for two tobacco commodities: cigarettes and handrolling tobacco, ... -
Initiation into crime : an analysis of Norwegian register data on five birth cohorts
(Discussion Papers;No. 655, Working paper, 2011)Abstract: We construct linked register data on five Norwegian birth cohorts, covering: criminal charges after age 15; family characteristics and history up to age 15; and (for males) IQ test scores. A longitudinal analysis ... -
Lumpy investments, factor adjustments and productivity
(Discussion Papers;No. 441, Working paper, 2005)Abstract: This paper describes firms' output and factor demand before, during and after episodes of lumpy investments using a rich employer-employee panel data set for two manufacturing industries and one service industry. ... -
Panel data with errors-in-variables : a note on essential and redundant orthogonality conditions in GMM-estimation
(Discussion Papers;No. 190, Working paper, 1997)General Method of Moments (GMM) estimation of a linear one-equation model using panel data with errors-in-variables is considered. To eliminate fixed individual heterogeneity, the equation is differenced across one or more ... -
Prevalence and substitution effects in tobacco consumption: A discrete choice analysis of panel data
(Discussion Papers;No. 312, Working paper, 2001)Abstract: This paper analyzes tobacco demand within a discrete choice framework. Using binomial and multinomial logit models with random effects, and an unbalanced panel data set of Norwegian households over a twenty year ... -
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 ... -
Returns to public R&D grants and subsidies
(Discussion papers;740, Working paper, 2013-05)We address the question of whether the returns to R&D differ between R&D projects funded by public grants and R&D in general. To answer this question, we use a flexible production function that distinguishes between different ... -
Testing the multiproduct hypothesis on Norwegian aluminium industry plants
(Discussion Papers;No. 350, Working paper, 2003)Abstract: Although most production activities involve multiple outputs, econometric models of production or cost functions normally involve only one single homogeneous output. The aim of this paper is to test the hypothesis ...
