Assessing Social Costs of Inefficient Procurement Design

Eklöf, Matias - Nationalekonomiska Institutionen, Uppsala Universitet - 2003

This paper considers the social costs implied by inefficient allocation of contracts in a first price, sealed bid procurement auction with asymmetric bidders. We adopt a constrained (piecewise linear) strategy equilibrium concept and estimate the structural parameters of the bidders’...

Mixed Logit Estimation of the Value of Travel Time.

Algers, S.; Bergstrom, P.; Dahlberg, M.; Dillen, J.L. - Nationalekonomiska Institutionen, Uppsala Universitet - 1998

In this paper we use mixed logit specifications to allow parameters to vary in the population when estimating the value of time for long-distance car travel.

Do Politicians’ Preferences Correspond to those of the Voters? An Investigation of Political Representation

Dahlberg, Matz; Mörk, Eva; Ågren, Hanna - Nationalekonomiska Institutionen, Uppsala Universitet - 2004

This paper investigates to what extent voters and politicians have the same preferences for locally provided welfare services. We make use of two different types of survey questionnaires; one directed towards voters and one directed towards politicians. We reach two main conclusions in the...

Latent Variables in a Travel Mode Choice Model: Attitudinal and Behavioural Indicator Variables

Vredin Johansson, Maria; Heldt, Tobias; Johansson, Per - Nationalekonomiska Institutionen, Uppsala Universitet - 2005

In a travel mode choice context, we use survey data to construct and test the significance of five individual specific latent variables – environmental preferences, safety, comfort, convenience and flexibility - postulated to be important for modal choice. Whereas the construction of the...

Wealth Dynamics in the 1980' and 1990's: Sweden and the U.S.

Klevmarken, A.; Lupton, J.; Stafford, F. - Nationalekonomiska Institutionen, Uppsala Universitet - 2000

Given differences in public saving programs between Sweden and the United States, an examination of household private wealth accumulation in these two countries can be enlightening. In this paper we examine wealth inequality and mobility in Sweden and the United States over the past decade. We...

How to Adjust for Nonignorable Nonresponse: Calibration, Heckit or FIML?

Johansson, Fredrik - Nationalekonomiska Institutionen, Uppsala Universitet - 2007

When a survey response mechanism depends on the variable of interest measured within the same survey and observed for only part of the sample, the situation is one of nonignorable nonresponse. Ignoring the nonresponse is likely to generate significant bias in the estimates. To solve this, one...

Mixed Logit Estimation of the Value of Travel Time

Algers, Staffan; Bergström, Pål; Dahlberg, Matz; … - Nationalekonomiska Institutionen, Uppsala Universitet - 1998

In this paper we use mixed logit specifications to allow parameters to vary in the population when estimating the value of time for long-distance car travel. Our main conclusion is that the estimated value of time is very sensitive to how the model is specified: we find that it is significantly...
