A framework for analyzing rank ordered data with application to automobile demand
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2009)In this paper we develop a general random utility framework for analyzing data on individuals' rank orderings. Specifically, we show that in the case with 3 alternatives one can express the probability of a particular rank ... -
A framework for empirical modelling of consumer demand with latent quality attributes
(Discussion Papers;No. 229, Working paper, 1998)This paper discusses a particular approach to empirical consumer demand modelling when products are differentiated and the product attributes are unobservable. In contrast to the traditional approach to this problem, see ... -
A linear demand system within a Seemingly Unrelated Time Series Equation framework
(Discussion Papers;No. 345, Working paper, 2003)Abstract: We consider a Seemingly Unrelated Time Series Equations framework for the linear Almost Ideal Demand system. The framework is applied to a consumer demand system covering nine non-durable commodities. We test ... -
A method of weighting adjustment for survey data subject to nonignorable nonresponse
(Discussion Papers;No. 311, Working paper, 2001)Abstract: Weighting adjustment is a standard quasi-randomization approach for survey data subject to nonresponse (Little, 1986). The existing methods are typically based on the assumption that nonresponse is independent ... -
A prediction approach to sampling design
(Discussion Papers;No. 440, Working paper, 2005)Abstract: Standard approaches to sample surveys take as the point of departure the estimation of one or several population totals (or means), or a few predefined sub-totals (or sub-means). While the model-based prediction ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Accounting for family background when designing optimal income taxes : a microeconometric simulation analysis
(Discussion Papers;No. 619, Working paper, 2010)Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to introduce and adopt a generalised version of Roemer's (1998) Equality of Opportunity (EOp) framework, which we call extended EOp, for analysing second-best optimal income taxation. ... -
Accumulation of r&d capital and dynamic firm performance: a not-so-fixed effect model
(Discussion Papers;No. 184, Working paper, 1996)Considering the observed patterns of R&D investment, we argue that a model which allows for a positive feedback from already acquired knowledge to the productiveness of current research, fits the empirical evidence better ... -
Aggregation in matching markets
(Discussion Papers;No. 173, Working paper, 1996)This paper develops aggregate relations for a matching market of heterogeneous suppliers and demanders. The point of departure is the analysis of two-sided matching found in Roth and Sotomayor (1990). Under particular ... -
Automatic editing of individual statistical observations
(Statistical Standards and Studies;No. 3, Conference lecture, 1963)1. Electronic computers or data processing machines have for some years been used at several stages of statistical processing. The fields of application range from sorting, tallying, cumulating and editing to advanced ... -
Automatic files in statistical systems
(Statistical Standards and Studies. Handbook;No. 9, Conference lecture, 1967)The existing statistical systems are designed for satisfying conditions which are changing rapidly today. The most marked feature of the existing systems of many countries is their extensive periodic surveys. The surveys ... -
Axiomatization of stochastic models for choice under uncertainty
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2008)This paper develops a theory of probabilistic models for risky choices. This theory can be viewed as an extension of the expected utility theory. One probabilistic version of the Archimedean Axiom and two versions of the ... -
Barn og unges miljø og helse : prosjektrapport fra arbeidsgruppen
(Notater;2011/3, Working paper, 2011)Rapporten Barn og unges miljø og helse er sluttproduktet til en arbeidsgruppe bestående av Helsedirektoratet, Nasjonalt Folkehelseinstitutt, Utdanningsdirektoratet, samt Statistisk sentralbyrå som har ledet arbeidet. ... -

Behavioral multistate duration models : what should they look like?
(Discussion Papers;No. 688, Working paper, 2012)Abstract: This paper discusses how specification of probabilistic models for multistate duration data generated by individual choices should be justified on a priori theoretical grounds. Preferences are assumed represented ... -
Choice among lotteries when preferences are stochastic
(Discussion Papers;No. 221, Working paper, 1998)Abstract: This paper discusses the problem of specifying probabilistic models for choices (strategies) with uncertain outcomes. The point of departure is an extension of the axiom system of the von Neumann-Morgenstern ... -
Choosing measures of inequality for empirical applications
(Discussion Papers;No. 158, Working paper, 1995)This paper is concerned with the distribution of income and the problem of choosing summary measures of inequality for empirical applications. By introducing a simple transformation of the Lorenz curve one is led to three ... -
Classical identification : a viable road for data to inform structural modeling
(Discussion Papers;No. 562, Working paper, 2008)Abstract: This paper addresses how to enhance the role of data in structural model design by utilizing structural breaks and superfluous information as auxiliary tools of exact identification. To illustrate the procedure ... -
Comment [about "Can a statistician deliver? by Platek and Särndal]
(Journal article, 2001)"Can a statistician deliver?" by Platek and Särndal is one of the important recent articles on the activities of national statistical institutes (NSIs). Their discussion covers many questions, including statistics disseminated ...
