This paper applies the nationality-adjusted net sales and value added framework proposed in Baldwin and Kimura (1996) to Japan. Despite possibly large estimation errors due to statistical deficiencies, the framework is very useful for analyzing the relationship of the Japanese economy to the...

The paper discusses various aspects of digital environment and activity of enterprises from the Russian manufacturing sector in 2020 using the evidence from business tendency surveys. Based on aggregate sectoral and industrial assessments, such as the Digital Climate Index (DCI), the Digital...

This paper examines the properties and prevalence of measurement error in longitudinal earnings data. The analysis compares Current Population Survey data to administrative Social Security payroll tax records for a sample of heads of households over two years. In contrast. to the typically...

This paper is based on review of literature on the relevance of statistical packages in educational research. In this paper the importance of statistical packages for data analysis in educational research examined. The collective importance of statistical software packages is to help improve...

Models of statistical discrimination typically assume that employers make rational inferencefrom (education) signals. However, there is a large amount of evidence showing thatmost people do not update their beliefs rationally. We use a model and two experimentsto show that employers who are...

Despite the impression that the federal statistical system has been starved for resources, the record over the last decade or so, judged by conventional deflation methods, has been one of rough stability. The quality of U.S. international data on commodity and service trade, direct investment,...

Difference in differences methods have become very popular in applied work. This paper provides a new method for inference in these models when there are a small number of policy changes. This situation occurs in many implementations of these estimators. Identification of the key parameter...

Measurement of price change is based on averages - also, hedonic price index numbers. As NSIs obtain scannerdata having varying content, question arise: what is correct average to use? We compare in this paper price change estimates based on most known averages and index numbers including...

Differences between chain and base methods (or strategies) are analyzed. This is a preliminary paper that concentrates on numerical results and new ideas. Omitted proofs will appear in later papers. As in title, we use the term circular or chain error. We do not use milder terms as drift or...
