Wangen, Knut R. - Statistisk Sentralbyrå, Government of Norway - 2005
The seminal paper by Pissarides and Weber (1989) is one of several previous studies trying to measure the size of the black economy. Pissarides and Weber compared the relationship between food expenditure and income in two groups of workers, self-employed and employees in employment, assuming...

Are closely-held firms tax shelters?
Alstadsæter, Annette; Kopczuk, Wojciech; Telle, Kjetil - Statistisk Sentralbyrå, Government of Norway - 2013
In 2004 Norwegian authorities announced a reform introducing dividend taxation for personal (but not corporate) owners to take effect starting in 2006. This change provided incentives to maximize dividends in 2004 and 2005, and to retain earnings in the following years. Using Norwegian registry...

Using the Helmert-transformation to reduce dimensionality in a mixed model: An application to a wage equation with worker and firm heterogeneity
Nilsen, Øivind A.; Raknerud, Arvid; Skjerpen, Terje - Statistisk Sentralbyrå, Government of Norway - 2011
heterogeneity in wage equations have been represented by fixed effects. However, because of the presence of time …-invariant covariates, we argue that specifications with random effects also deserve some attention. Our mixed model allows identification … of the effects of time invariant variables on wages, such as for instance education. Using Norwegian manufacturing data …

Why Educated Mothers don’t make Educated Children? A Statistical Study in the Intergenerational Transmission of Schooling
Pronzato, Chiara - Statistisk Sentralbyrå, Government of Norway - 2008
More educated parents are observed to have better educated children. From a policy point of view, however, it is important to distinguish between causation and selection. Researchers trying to control for unobserved ability have found conflicting results: in most cases, they have found a strong...

Errors in Variables and Panel Data: The Labour Demand Response to Permanent Changes in Output
Biørn, Erik; Klette, Tor Jakob - Statistisk Sentralbyrå, Government of Norway - 1994
This paper examines panel data modelling with latent variables in analyzing log-linear relations between inputs and output of firms. Our particular focus is on (i) the "increasing returns to scale puzzle" for labour input and (ii) the GMM estimation in the context of errors-in-variables and...

Aggregation and Aggregation Biases in Production Functions: A Panel Data Analysis of Translog Models
Biørn, Erik; Skjerpen, Terje - Statistisk Sentralbyrå, Government of Norway - 2002
An applied econometric study of aggregation, based on an unbalanced panel data set for manu-facturing plants is presented. Panel data are informative in examining aggregation of variables, parameters, and relationships empirically since they (i) allow estimation at both the micro and the macro...

Income Responses to Tax Changes – Evidence from the Norwegian Tax Reform
Thoresen, Thor O.; Aarbu, Karl Ove - Statistisk Sentralbyrå, Government of Norway - 1999
Several studies, conducted on U.S. data, have found rather strong income responses to changes in marginal tax rates, when treating tax reforms as "natural experiments" and applying the differences-of-differences estimator on individual income data. The Norwegian tax reform of 1992 implied...
