Testing for long-run homogeneity in the Linear Almost Ideal Demand System An application on Norwegian quarterly data for non-durables

Skjerpen, Terje; Swensen, Anders Rygh - Statistisk Sentralbyrå, Government of Norway - 2000

We consider testing for long-run homogeneity within a dynamic consumer demand system allowing for non-stationarities. The static long-run solution is assumed to follow the Linear Almost Ideal Demand System and we test for long-run homogeneity within this system utilizing a triangular...

Noisy signals in target zone regimes Theory and Monte Carlo experiments

Holden, Steinar; Kolsrud, Dag; Vikøren, Birger - Statistisk Sentralbyrå, Government of Norway - 1995

Previous empirical evidence indicates that uncovered interest rate parity (UIP) does not hold for target zone exchange rates, like those in the European Monetary System and in the Nordic countries. We explore a target zone model where the market inferes the probability of a realignment of the...

Samling Errors and Cross-Country Comparisons of Income Inequality

Aaberge, Rolf - Statistisk Sentralbyrå, Government of Norway - 1999

The growing interest in cross-national comparisons of income inequality is primarily a result of the establishment of the Luxembourg Income Study (LIS) database and the wide range of studies on income inequality based on LIS data. These studies suffer, however, from a major weakness since...

Exit dynamics of start-up firms. Does profit matter?

Golombek, Rolf; Raknerud, Arvid - Statistisk Sentralbyrå, Government of Norway - 2012

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 profitability explains a firm's exit behavior. Some key characteristics...

Initiation into crime: An analysis of Norwegian register data on five birth cohorts

Galloway, Taryn Ann; Pudney, Stephen - Statistisk Sentralbyrå, Government of Norway - 2011

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 of the risk of initiation into crime in early adulthood suggests an increased risk for...

Exit Dynamics with Adjustment Costs

Golombek, Rolf; Raknerud, Arvid - Statistisk Sentralbyrå, Government of Norway - 2005

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 in Bertrand (price) competition. Firms produce heterogeneous products, using labor,...

Individual Heterogeneity and Price Responses in Tobacco Consumption: A Two-Commodity Analysis of Unbalanced Panel Data

Wangen, Knut R.; Biørn, Erik - Statistisk Sentralbyrå, Government of Norway - 2001

The paper presents a panel data analysis of tobacco demand. The purpose is threefold: (i) to measure income, own … sociodemographic effects, and (iii) to utilize the potential offered by panel data to investigate unobserved heterogeneity. The latter … and non-linear specifications of a two-equation system are estimated, using an unbalanced panel data set of Norwegian …
