The transformation of ownership policy and structure in Sweden : convergence towards the Anglo-Saxon model?
Henrekson, Magnus (contributor); Jakobsson, Ulf (contributor) - 2001 - [Elektronische Ressource], Rev. September 19, 2002
We investigate the dramatic transformation of ownership policies and ownership structure in Sweden during the postwar period. After WWII, Swedish ownership policies were guided by a socialist vision where the ultimate goal was abolition of private ownership. These policies came to an end in the...

Tax effects on work activity, industry mix and shadow economy size : evidence from rich-country comparisons
Davis, Steven J. (contributor);  … - 2004 - [Elektronische Ressource]
Guided by a simple theory of task assignment and time allocation, we investigate the long run response to national … differences in tax rates on labor income, payrolls and consumption. The theory implies that higher tax rates reduce work time in …

Testing for unit roots in nonlinear dynamic heterogeneous panels
He, Changli (contributor); Sandberg, Rickard (contributor) - 2005 - [Elektronische Ressource]
In this paper we present a unit root test against a nonlinear dynamic heterogenous panel with each cross section modelled as an LSTAR model. All parameters are viewed as cross section specific. We allow for serially correlated residuals over time and heterogenous variance among cross sections....

Parametric covariance matrix modeling in Bayesian panel regression
Salabasis, Mickael (contributor) - 2004 - [Elektronische Ressource], Rev. February 16, 2005
The full Bayesian treatment of error component models typically relies on data augmentation to produce the required inference. Never stricly necessary a direct approach is always possible though not necessarily practical. The mechanics of direct sampling are outlined and a template for including...

Determing the number of regimes in a threshold autoregressive model using smooth transition autoregressions
Strikholm, Birgit (contributor);  … - 2005 - [Elektronische Ressource], Rev. February 11, 2005
In this paper we propose a method for determining the number of regimes in threshold autoregressive models using smooth transition autoregression as a tool. As the smooth transition model is just an approximation to the threshold autoregressive one, no asymptotic properties are claimed for the...

The cutting power of preparation
Tercieux, Olivier (contributor);  … - 2005 - [Elektronische Ressource]
In a strategic game, a curb set [Basu and Weibull, Econ. Letters 36 (1991) 141] is a product set of pure strategies containing all best responses ro every possible belief restricted to this set. Prep sets [Voorneveld, Games Econ. Behav. 48 (2004) 403] relax this condition by only requiring the...

Information updating and insurance dropout : evidence from dental insurance
Grönqvist, Erik (contributor) - 2004 - [Elektronische Ressource]
Micro data from a dental insurance natural experiment is used to analyze why agents opt out of insurance. The purpose … show that agents tend to leave the insurance when reclassified into higher premium classes, or when experiencing … unexpectedly low dental care utilization within the insurance. They are more responsive to higher premiums than to lower expected …
