We show that the choice of the welfare measure has a substantial impact on the degree of welfare-related health inequality. Combining various income and wealth measures with different health measures, we calculate 80 health concentration indices. The influence of the welfare measure is more...

This paper discusses the theoretical and practical aspects of new methods for solving DEA problems under real-life geometrical uncertainty and probability uncertainty of sample data. The proposed minimax approach to solve problems with geometrical uncertainty of sample data involves an...

A problem statistical offices and research institutes are faced with by releasing micro-data is the preservation of confidentiality. Traditional methods to avoid disclosure often destroy the structure of data, i.e., information loss is potentially high. In this paper I discuss an alternative...

In order to assess the productivity effects of information and communication technologies (ICT), regressions based on cross?sectional firm?level data may yield unreliable results for the commonly employed production function framework. In this paper, various estimation biases and econometric...

Für Unternehmensdaten existieren im Gegensatz zu Personendaten keine einheitlichen Regeln zur Erstellung von Scientific-Use-Files, d.h. eines anonymisierten Datenfiles zur wissenschaftlichen Nutzung. Verschiedene Anonymisierungsmethoden werden hier vorgestellt. Um Mikrodaten einer breiten...

This contribution describes the linkage of microsimulation models and computable general equilibrium (CGE) models using two already established models called "STSM" and "PACE-L" used by the Centre for European Economic Research. This state of the art research method for applied policy analysis...
