The objective of this paper is to empirically analyze the relationship between job flows and regional income stabilization provided by the national tax and transfer systems. The analysis is based on an administrative panel data set containing all sectors in 20 Swedish regions for the time period...

In this paper we estimate the amount of tax evasion in customs authorities in both Kenya and Tanzania by calculating measurement errors in reported trade flows between the two countries and correlate those errors with tax rates. We find that the measurement error is correlated with the tax rates...

In this paper we evaluate different measurement practices when calculating the human capital content of a country's net trade. The calculations are performed using a structural measure developed by Lundberg & Wiker (1997) that relates the average factor input requirements in exports relative to...

This paper analyzes the impact of the definition of part-time sick leave (PTSL) when analyzing the effect of PTSL on employees’ probability to fully recover lost work capacity. Using a random sample of 3,607 employees, we estimate an econometric model that aims to answer the hypothetical...

This paper includes a simulation study on the bias and MSE properties of a two-step probit model estimator for handling missing values in covariates by conditional imputation. In one smaller simulation it is compared with an asymptotically ecient estimator and in one larger it is compared with...

The calibration approach is suggested in the literature for estimation in sample surveys under non-response given access to suitable auxiliary information. However, missing values in auxiliary information come up as a thorny but realistic problem. This paper considers the consistency of the...
