Individual versus Aggregate Income Elasticities for Heterogeneous Populations
Paluch, Michal; Kneip, Alois; Hildenbrand, Werner - 2007
This paper deals with different concepts of income elasticities of demand for a heterogenous population and the relationship between individual and aggregate elasticities is analyzed. In general, the aggregate elasticity is not equal to the mean of individual elasticities. The difference depends...

Problems of using grouped DMUs for efficiency measurement: Monte Carlo experiments, empirical dimension, and a correction procedure
Brümmer, Bernhard; Thiele, Holger D. - 1999
This paper explores the consequences for parametric and non-parametric efficiency levels and rankings when using grouped instead of individual Decision Making Units (DMU). The bias results due to the differences of the grouped DMUs frontier compared to the individual DMUs frontier. Monte Carlo...

Implicit Microfoundations for Macroeconomics
Wright, Ian - 2008
A large market economy has a huge number of degrees of freedom with weak microlevel coordination. The 'implicit microfoundations' approach assumes this property of micro-level interactions more strongly conditions macro-level outcomes compared to the precise details of individual choice...

Implicit Microfoundations for Macroeconomics
Wright, Ian - In: Economics: The Open-Access, Open-Assessment E-Journal 3 (2009) 2009-19, pp. 1-27
A large market economy has a huge number of degrees of freedom with weak microlevel coordination. The 'implicit microfoundations' approach considers this property of micro-level interactions to more strongly determine macro-level outcomes compared to the precise details of individual choice...

A user cost approach to capital measurement in aggregate production functions
Knetsch, Thomas A. - 2012
A method is proposed to measure capital services in production. This means that productive assets are weighted according to their user costs. The user costs of the individual asset classes are estimated based on data from the national accounts and other sources. The results show that, in the...
