Work and earnings of low-skilled women: Do employee and employer reports provide consistent information?
Authors: Wallace Geoffrey L. , Haveman Robert
Published: March 2019

The employment and earnings effects of the state-oriented federal welfare reform legislation of 1996 have been extensively studied using either survey or administrative data. Because information may differ substantially across these sources, it is difficult both to identify the true effects of these interventions and to compare evaluation estimates of these interventions that rely on these different data sources. This paper uses data gathered as part of the Wisconsin Child Support Demonstration Evaluation to examine the extent to which administrative (unemployment insurance) and survey records on employment and earnings for a sample of low-skilled women are congruent. Our findings suggest that there are substantial differences in both mean earnings and mean employment rates between survey and unemployment insurance (UI) data. We identify the extent to which these disparities can be explained by differences between these data sources in the definition of earnings or the method of data collection. We also examine the differences between UI and survey sources in estimates of employment and earnings growth among low-skilled women.
Measuring response of output growth to changes in yield spread in a state switching framework
Authors: Bhar Ramaprasad , Hamori Shigeyuki
Published: March 2019

This paper explores the dynamic relationship between the yield spread and the growth rate of output when the economic states are driven by a hidden Markov chain. The results for three industrialised countries (USA, UK and Japan) confirm that the response of output growth rate to yield spread is more effectively captured by this state switching approach than a single state model. The two distinct states are characterised by the levels of growth rates, volatility and risk-aversion. This also allows us to analyze the international co-movements of the economic states between these countries using a non-parametric measure of concordance. We detect strong co-movements of the economic states between USA and Japan over the sample period. We then postulate that the U.S. yield spread might have explanatory power over and above the domestic yield spread in explaining the economic activity in Japan. We are able to confirm this assertion when we extend the model, but only in case Japan. In the case of UK, the domestic yield spread retains the dominant influence.
Longitudinal matching of recent current population surveys: Methods, non-matches and mismatches
Authors: Feng Shuaizhang
Published: March 2019

Longitudinal matching of Current Population Survey data is of considerable interest to empirical researchers. This paper develops a general method that uses the conditional probabilities (of being correct) to accept or reject a crude match. The assumptions and procedures used to estimate those probabilities with real data are described in detail. The paper performs the matching of adjacent recent March CPS Supplements, and finds a sharp increase in non-match rates after the 2002 State Children Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) sample expansion. The widely used matching algorithm proposed by Madrian and Lefgren continues to work fine for recent CPS, as it keeps the mismatch rates low in all years.
Measuring relative sub-national human development: An application of the United Nation's Human Development Index using geographic information systems
Authors: Porter Jeremy R. , Purser Christopher W.
Published: March 2019

Understanding human development at the international, regional, and national level is essential to the understanding of the needs and wants of vast populations around the world. Since the late 1980's the United Nation's Development Program (UNDP) has published hundreds of reports on development at a variety of geographic extents. This project aims to apply the United Nation's Human Development Index (HDI) to the United States in order to create a sub-national HDI for the measurement of US counties. Due to the inherent spatial methodology in the development of the HDI, this project further introduces the use of geographic information systems tools in hopes of better capturing the results of the development index and employs spatial statistics as a way of identifying clusters of high and low development. The results report high regional, state, and county variation in all of the measures and outcomes associated with the sub-national HDI.
Econometric forecasting at mixed frequencies: Application to Mexico's economy. Part II: Combined use of high frequency and low frequency models
Authors: Klein Lawrence R. , Kusnnirsky Fyodor I. , Mercado Alejandro Delgado
Published: March 2019

In a two-part paper, we apply to the Mexican economy the methodology of forecasting at mixed frequencies developed by Klein and Kushnirsky [2]. We construct two macroeconometric models for Mexico – high frequency, with monthly observations, and low frequency, with annual observations. Our methodology demonstrates how the high frequency model can be used for periodic adjustments of selected key indicators in the low frequency model. The methodology includes a theoretical foundation, methods for the adjustment of model structures and properties, procedures for achieving mutually consistent solutions, and step-by-step applications. The computational procedures are based on: (a) employment of a loss function in order to force the solution of the low frequency model to come close to the solution of the high frequency model and(b) construction of "exact" joint solutions, with values of key variables in the low frequency model imported from the high frequency model. We illustrate the applications by generating: (a) independent solutions of the high frequency and low frequency models; (b) solutions of the low frequency model with the use of a loss function; and (c) solutions of the low frequency model with key variables such as GDP and the price index imported from the high frequency model.
Measuring and monitoring human welfare: How credible are the data in the UNDP's human development reports?
Authors: Tokuyama Chieko , Pillarisetti J. Ram
Published: March 2019

The broad objectives of the Human Development Report (HDR) and the estimates of human wellbeing are to identify policies that reduce poverty, economic and gender inequalities and increase human wellbeing. Since its inception in 1990, the HDR and the methodological and measurement issues relating to the now well known Human Development Index (HDI) have undergone several transformations. This paper empirically examines the reliability of databases from HDRs with a special focus on the estimations methodology and data revisions of the HDI, and the recent growth trends in the HDI and real income. This paper notes that the databases in the HDRs exhibit significant measurement errors and inadequacies. The measurement errors are more conspicuous in cases of data pertaining to low-income developing countries.
Measurement error in the SIPP: Evidence from administrative matched records
Authors: Cristia Julian , Schwabish Jonathan A.
Published: March 2019

Validation studies that compare survey to administrative earnings are useful to assess the extent and implications of measurement error in labor market data. While previous work typically used small restrictive samples with topcoded earnings, this paper matches data from the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) to Social Security Administration records, which contains uncapped administrative earnings. Results show that SIPP respondents, on average, underreport earnings by a significant amount ($2,800). Consistent with previous studies, measurement error is negatively correlated with true earnings. Finally, unlike previous work, we find a consistent pattern between measurement error and covariates: factors positively associated with earnings are negatively correlated with measurement error.
Discrimination or differing model structures?
Authors: Zhao Bojuan B. , Shyr Yu
Published: March 2019

The Blinder-Oaxaca (B-O) decomposition has been widely used in continuous outcome comparisons between two groups of people; however, controversies and limitations with this method remain. In this paper, operating under the same-model structure, we suggest employing a multiple regression using a dummy variable to represent discrimination, and we compare this strategy with results obtained from a B-O decomposition and a Neumark decomposition, both in theory and using a simulation study. In addition, we extend these methods to cover binary outcomes.
The analysis of budget consolidations
Authors: Wenzelburger Georg
Published: March 2019

Fiscal adjustments have been examined from different perspectives in the literature. However, the conceptual approaches to the analysis of budget consolidations vary substantially. Therefore different approaches to the analysis of fiscal adjustments are discussed in a first step. It is shown that the choices regarding the underlying concepts lead to specific research designs and influence the appropriate empirical method. In a second step, the determinants of budget consolidations are examined empirically in four different research designs for 23 industrialised countries in the 1990s. The analysis shows that the results vary depending on the method applied. However, economic variables seem to play the most important role in explaining the consolidation performance.
Fisher versus Fisher: Evaluating the accuracy of additive and multiplicative price and quantity indices
Authors: Casler Stephen D.
Published: March 2019

The accuracy of index numbers can be understood by evaluating the consistency of their formulas with the sources of change in total expenditure and by examining their ability to estimate actual price and output changes with precision. In terms of formulas, differences among index numbers can be seen in their treatment of the interaction term, which arises when changes in prices and quantities occur simultaneously over discrete time intervals. This paper evaluates these differences for a number of important indices, including the additive and multiplicative versions of the Fisher. Then, using the growth-rate counterparts of these measures, the accuracy of index numbers is examined in terms of their ability to estimate constant elasticity values for both demand and supply functions. For the indices considered, results show that the additive measures, especially the Additive Fisher, provide superior measurement of price and output growth effects.
Socioeconomic patterns in climate data
Authors: McKitrick Ross , Nierenberg Nicolas
Published: March 2019

To generate a climate data set, temperature data collected at the Earth's surface must be adjusted to remove non-climatic effects such as urbanization and measurement discontinuities. Some studies have shown that the post-1980 spatial pattern of temperature trends over land in prominent climate data sets is strongly correlated with the spatial pattern of socioeconomic development, implying that the adjustments are inadequate, leaving a residual warm bias. This evidence has been disputed on three grounds: spatial autocorrelation of the temperature field undermines significance of test results; counterfactual experiments using model-generated data suggest such correlations have an innocuous interpretation; and different satellite covariates yield unstable results. Somewhat surprisingly, these claims have not been put into a coherent framework for the purpose of statistical testing. We combine economic and climatological data sets from various teams with trend estimates from global climate models and we use spatial regressions to test the competing hypotheses. Overall we find that the evidence for contamination of climatic data is robust across numerous data sets, it is not undermined by controlling for spatial autocorrelation, and the patterns are not explained by climate models. Consequently we conclude that important data products used for the analysis of climate change over global land surfaces may be contaminated with socioeconomic patterns related to urbanization and other socioeconomic processes.

Measuring poverty and living conditions in Italy through a combined analysis at a sub-national level
Authors: Quintano Claudio , Castellano Rosalia , Punzo Gennaro
Published: March 2019

Aim of this paper is to explore poverty patterns and differentials across Italian provinces for several objective dimensions of life-style deprivation according to a multidimensional and fuzzy approach. We propose a joint analysis of monetary and supplementary deprivation to point out the extent to which the two aspects of poverty overlap for the population concerned, to look into their potential background determinants and to sketch a territorial poverty profile. Since traditional direct estimators, based on ECHP data, cannot provide adequate precision due to smallness of domain-specific sub-sample, we test Rao-Yu models, as extension of Fay-Herriot estimator, to handle time-series data.

In addition to a diversity of deficiencies found throughout Italy, empirical evidence clearly emphasize higher degrees of overlap in "poorer" southern provinces and lower degrees in "richer" northern ones, justifying the implementation of different approaches to poverty measurement to identify those areas which, more than others, need structural interventions.
What can the Social Security Notch tell us about the impact of additional income in retirement?
Authors: Handwerker Elizabeth Weber
Published: March 2019

For researchers interested in the impact of income on life outcomes, the 'Social Security Notch' provides a rare source of variation in incomes not caused by these same life outcomes. This paper addresses the usefulness of this variation to researchers. First, it demonstrates that simulated benefit levels by cohort are very significant predictors of reported benefits and total incomes for the affected cohorts in large data sources, such as the Current Population Survey. Second, it examines whether these are large enough to disentangle the impact of changes in income from underlying cohort variability in outcomes. It shows that the cohorts with higher benefits due to law changes are also observed to have higher earned incomes in retirement. Furthermore, the difference in mortality rates between affected cohorts is similar in magnitude to the gaps between other successive cohorts. These results imply that cohort variability overshadows the effects of this potential instrument.
Methodological disclosure issues and opinion data
Authors: Maynard Marc , Timms-Ferrara Lois
Published: March 2019

The research value of survey data is measured by its utility, which is driven by researchers' ability to evaluate survey quality. The proliferation of polls combined with new and emerging technologies for data collection and analysis have made it more difficult for researchers, journal editors, journalists and the general public to evaluate survey quality and reliability. In a time of innovation and ever-changing technologies the very definition of "disclosure" is fluid, further hampering efforts to evaluate survey quality.

This paper provides a review of the benefits and challenges of full methodological disclosure from various vantage points, and a detailed assessment of efforts to codify disclosure requirements and recommendations from four leading professional organizations in opinion research. By examining major sources of opinion data, focusing on the unique role of data archives and their historical interest in documenting and preserving research data, we propose a proactive extension of the archives' role to support several on-going efforts to provide clear and consistent disclosure of survey methods.
Estimating the U.S. aggregate demand for labor
Authors: Saltzman Cynthia
Published: March 2019

This paper develops an equation to estimate the U.S. aggregate demand for labor that incorporates the impact of the information technology (IT) capital stock and IT outsourcing, as well as the role of employee benefits relative to employee wages over time. The theoretical starting point is a production function with strategic nonlinearities that does not restrict labor to diminishing marginal productivity over all potential values of the labor input. Specific attention is given to data aggregation issues caused by chain-weighted indexes. Empirical estimation of the equation specification implies that the ratio of employee benefits to wages has the largest negative impact to the demand for labor. Estimation results also imply that there is a direct, short-term negative effect from IT outsourcing, as well as an indirect negative effect through interaction with IT capital. Further empirical investigation suggests that the effect of IT outsourcing turns positive in the longer term through its impact on the stock of capital equipment.
Space-time modeling of natural disaster impacts
Authors: LeSage James P. , Pace R. Kelley , Lam Nina , Campanella Richard
Published: March 2019

We use a space-time dynamic panel model to quantify the impact of Hurricane Ike on Texas county-level employment for the immediately affected disaster counties plus neighboring counties. While the hurricane event created a loss of over 314,000 employment in the 44 county disaster area, employment in some counties gained over 24,000 jobs as a result of rebuilding and clean up efforts associated with the disaster. These employment impacts were not accurately reflected in the official government statistics on employment, and we discuss issues pertaining to this.
How similar are different sources of CHIP enrollment data?
Authors: Plotzke Michael R. , Klerman Jacob Alex , Davern Michael
Published: March 2019

We compare two different sources of enrollment counts for the Children's Health Insurance Program from 2000–2005. Although it is impossible to know which sources accurately report enrollment, we classify instances where data sources do not agree as an indication that at least one source reports enrollment inaccurately. We find that 26 states have Medicaid expansion programs and 18 states have stand-alone programs that report similar enrollment counts across the two data sources. Eight states with Medicaid expansion programs and five states with a stand-alone program have substantial inconsistencies that include missing enrollment counts or a disagreement in enrollment counts.
The effects of recall length and reporting aids on household reporting of health care events in the medical expenditure panel survey
Authors: Zuvekas Samuel H.
Published: March 2019

We examined the effects of length of recall period and written records on the accuracy of household reports of health care use of Medicare beneficiaries in the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS), a widely used nationally-representative federal survey. Our sample contained 1,375 Medicare beneficiaries with 5 complete rounds of MEPS interviews during 2001–2003 who were matched to their Medicare claims records. Household respondents systematically underreported any emergency department use per round (mean of 0.07 vs. 0.09 in the claims, p< 0.001) and number of ambulatory visits per 90 days (2.3 vs. 2.7, p < 0.001). In logistic regressions, recall periods less than 2 months and, to a lesser extent, 3 to 4 months were associated with lower odds of underreporting visits and higher overall accuracy. Calendars and bills, insurance statements, and other records of health care events kept by some MEPS respondents also were associated with lower odds of underreporting.
Bayesian model averaging in R
Authors: Amini Shahram M. , Parmeter Christopher F.
Published: March 2019

Bayesian model averaging has increasingly witnessed applications across an array of empirical contexts. However, the dearth of available statistical software which allows one to engage in a model averaging exercise is limited. It is common for consumers of these methods to develop their own code, which has obvious appeal. However, canned statistical software can ameliorate one's own analysis if they are not intimately familiar with the nuances of computer coding. Moreover, many researchers would prefer user ready software to mitigate the inevitable time costs that arise when hard coding an econometric estimator. To that end, this paper describes the relative merits and attractiveness of several competing packages in the statistical environment R to implement a Bayesian model averaging exercise.

One parameter of water quality is bacteriological content. Among the factors causing increased bacteriological content in water (SGL) are domestic waste. This study aims to determine the quality of water (SGL) in Keude Lueng Putu Village biologically, knowing whether distance (SGL) from polluting sources meets the requirements or not, determining whether physical conditions and construction (SGL) meet the requirements or not, and identify user behavior (SGL). The population in this study was 121 units (SGL) and those taken into samples using the Simple Random Sample technique were 10% of the total (SGL), which was 12 (SGL). For the independent variable distance / location of pollutant sources with bacteriological quality of water with  indicators of Coliform levels, it shows that the farther the distance of the pollutant source the lower the Coliform  level (having a negative correlation). While the correlation between the distance / location of pollutant sources with E. coli levels is very weak (Pearson correlation value is very small (0.013) .Correlation test for the second independent variable shows that the physical condition (SGL) does not have a significant effect on Coliform levels (p value 0.558), while E. coli levels show a correlation between construction (SGL) and E. coli levels, although this relationship is very weak because the p value is 0.067. The third independent variable explains the behavior of the people which greatly influences Coliform levels in water (SGL ) indicated by (p value) is 0.001 (<0.05).

El cambio de un modelo de Justicia Retributiva a uno de justicia restaurativa es necesario, si lo que se quiere es poner fin a un conflicto social envuelto en una espiral de violencia arraigada por décadas, para reconstruir tejido social y lograr una paz estable y duradera. Es menester que la justicia conozca a fondo los hechos y las personas, pero que este inclinada siempre a favor de la víctima, con una participación real, activa y a su vez que brinde oportunidades al victimario a través de la reparación, y el perdón que brinda la víctima para que logre pertenecer nuevamente al tejido social y así superar el estigma del delito.
Garantias del trabajador frente a la culpa patronal en accidente de trabajo.
Authors: Caballero Rangel Vladimir
Published: March 2019

El objetivo esencial de este artículo de reflexión es analizar las garantías jurídicas que tiene el trabajador cuando sufre un accidente de trabajo. Cuando se producen consecuencias temporales o permanentes en la integridad del trabajador por la ocurrencia de un accidente de trabajo, se activa en el sistema de riesgos laborales la posibilidad de acudir a las alternativas de resarcimiento por el daño causado a través de una reparación tarifada de los riesgos, la cual descansa sobre la teoría de la responsabilidad objetiva y la posibilidad de una indemnización total y ordinaria de perjuicios, que a su vez encuentra su soporte en la teoría subjetiva de la culpa, las cuales coexisten y no son excluyentes.
