The tyranny of international index rankings

Høyland, Bjørn; Moene, Karl; Willumsen, Fredrik - In: Journal of Development Economics 97 (2012) 1, pp. 1-14

International index rankings are popular, but perhaps too persuasive. They emphasize country differences where similarity is the dominant feature. Rankings based on Doing Business, the Human Development Index and Freedom House can be misleading, not because of wrong indicators, but because the...

A criterion-based model comparison statistic for structural equation models with heterogeneous data

Li, Yun-Xian; Kano, Yutaka; Pan, Jun-Hao; Song, Xin-Yuan - In: Journal of Multivariate Analysis 112 (2012) C, pp. 92-107

Heterogeneous data are common in social, educational, medical and behavioral sciences. Recently, finite mixture structural equation models (SEMs) and two-level SEMs have been respectively proposed to analyze different kinds of heterogeneous data. Due to the complexity of these two kinds of SEMs,...

Measuring workers' health and psychosocial work-environment on firm productivity

Ödegaard, Fredrik; Roos, Pontus - Institutet för Arbetsmarknads- och Utbildningspolitisk … - 2012

We discuss a model for analyzing and measuring workers' health and psychosocial work-environment on firm productivity. Productivity is measured through the Malmquist productivity index approach using Data Envelopment Analysis. A novel component of the model is that in addition to standard...

Latent variables in discrete choice experiments

Rungie, Cam M.; Coote, Leonard V.; Louviere, Jordan J. - In: Journal of choice modelling 5 (2012) 3, pp. 145-156

This paper describes and applies a general approach for incorporating factors with structural equations into models for discrete choice. The approach gives form to the covariance matrix in random coefficient models. The factors act directly on the random coefficients as unobserved attributes....
