Tax reform evaluation using nonparametric methods : Sweden 1980-1991
- 1997
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This paper evaluates the tax reforms carried out in Sweden between 1980 and 1991. We use a recently developed nonparametric labor supply function to account for the behavorial responses of the taxed individuals. We decompose the tax reform to study how th

Estimating Preferences for Local Public Services using Migration Data

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Using Swedish micro data, the paper examines the impact of local public services on community choice. The choice of community is modelled as a choice between a discrete set of alternatives. It is found that, given taxes, high spending on child care attracts migrants. Less conclusive results are obtained with respect to the role of spending on education and elderly care. High local taxes deter migrants. Relaxing the independence of the irrelevant alternatives assumption, by estimating a mixed logit model, has a significant impact on the results.

Relaxing the IIA assumption in locational choice models : a comparison between conditional logit, mixed logit, and multinomial probit models
- 2003
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This paper estimates a locational choice model to assess the demand for local public services, using a data set where individuals chooses between 26 municipalities within a local labor market. We assess the importance of the IIA assumption by comparing the predictions of three difference models; the conditional logit (CL) model, the mixed logit (MXL) model, and the multinomial probit (MNP) model. Our main finding is that a MXL or a MNP estimator leads to exactly the same conclusions as the traditional CL estimator. That is, given the data used here, the IIA assumption, and hence the use of a CL estimator, seems to be valid when estimating Tiebout-related migration. The only instance when we get somewhat different results when using the MXL or MNP estimator compared with the CL estimator is when we have a too parsimonious model. One possible hypothesis explaining this result is that omitted variables are captured by the distribution parameters of the coeffcients of the included variables, leading to the false conclusion that the coefficients are not fixed. This hypothesis is supported by the results from a Monte Carlo investigation.

Assessing social costs of inefficient procurement design
- 2005

Ingår i: Journal of the European Economic Association. - 1542-4766. ; 3:4, s. 826-850

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- 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) strategye quilibriumc oncept and estimatet he structural parameterso f the bidders'd is-tribution of costs. We estimate social costs defined as the predicted cost difference between the winning firm and the most efficient bidding firm. We also compare the expected procurement costs under two different auction formats. The data is collected from procurement auctions of road painting in Sweden during 1993-1999. The results indicate that the social costs of inefficient contract allocation is about 2% of total potential production cost and that an effi-cient second-pricea uction would lower the expected procurementc ost by 2.5%.

Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- 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’ distribution of costs. We estimate social costs defined as the predicted cost difference between the winning firm and the most efficient bidding firm. We also compare the expected procurement costs under two different auction formats. The data is collected from procurement auctions of road painting in Sweden during 1993-99. The results indicate that the social costs of inefficient contract allocation is about 1.7 per cent of total potential social cost and that an efficient second price auction would lower the expected procurement cost by 2.8 per cent.
