using input output tables for estimates of czech gross domestic product 1970 1989
Economic Systems Research, 2014Co-Authors: Jaroslav Sixta, Jakub FischerAbstract:The paper describes the transformation of original macroeconomic data for the Czech Republic in the period of socialism to the current methodology of national accounts. Since the Czech Republic was a part of former Czechoslovakia, such estimates were not usually published. The key approach is based on symmetric input--output tables (SIOTs) that allow the description of several segments of the economy. SIOTs were compiled directly from data sources on a regular basis instead of supply and use tables. We used SIOTs for 1973 and 1987 to investigate thoroughly the differences between the previously used Material Product System (MPS) and the System of National Accounts (SNA). After that, we identified the most important differences between MPS and SNA, and constructed the time series of Czech gross domestic product for 1970--1989. The estimated time series are fully consistent with official figures of the Czech Statistical Office published from 1990 onwards.

the smoking epidemic across generations gender and educational groups a matter of diffusion of innovations
Social Science Research Network, 2018Co-Authors: Cinzia Di Novi, Anna MarenziAbstract:This study examines whether the temporal variations in smoking habits across generations and gender and among groups with differing levels of education fit the pattern proposed by the theory of the diffusion of innovations (TDI). We focus on the Italian case and employ a pseudo-panel derived from repeated cross-sections of the annual household survey, “Aspects of Daily Life,” that is part of the Multipurpose Survey carried out by the Italian National Statistical Office (ISTAT) for the period 1997 to 2012. The results confirm Rogers’ TDI and show that smoking prevalence has declined over time and across age cohorts: younger men of all educational levels and women with higher education are less likely to smoke than are those in other cohorts. On the other side, less-educated women, who entered the smoking-diffusion process later that others are more likely to smoke. Hence, socio-economic differences in smoking continue to persist, especially for women. According to Rogers’ TDI, smoking prevalence is expected to decline further, particularly among little-educated women.

Occupazione e disoccupazione in Italia: misura e analisi dei comportamenti Measuring participation at work in the presence of fallible indicators of labour force state Measuring participation at work when the labour force state is imprecisely observe
2020Co-Authors: Erich Battistin, Enrico Rettore, Ugo Trivellato, Achille LemmiAbstract:Abstract Current labour force counting fits general guidelines set by the International Labour Office (ILO) to classify units in the usual three labour force states -employed, unemployed and out of the labour force. The resulting statistics are known to be sensitive to slight variations in the conventional guidelines prima facie consistent with this general guidelines. Exploiting alternative criteria followed by the Italian Statistical Office (ISTAT) up to 1992, we provide some evidence to define critical units whose state is not clearly identified and turns out to depend on the classification itself. To prove how statistics are sensitive to alternative definitions of unemployment, we compare such critical groups to some benchmark groups, namely groups whose classification is not questioned and stable with respect to both ILO and ISTAT guidelines. Conditioning on characteristics known to be relevant for the labour forc-e status allows us to establish which state critical units more likely belong to. An application is presented for a sample of married women from the Italian Labour Force Survey on four survey occasions reflecting the labour market cycle between 1984 and 1995

the distribution of personal income in post war italy source description data quality and the time pattern of income inequality
Giornale degli Economisti, 1999Co-Authors: Andrea BrandoliniAbstract:The paper describes the sample surveys on the personal distribution of incomes conducted in post-war Italy: the first survey carried out by Istituto Doxa in 1947-48; the sample survey of household income and wealth conducted by the Bank of Italy since the late 1960s; the expenditure survey, and the European Community Household Panel conducted by the Italian Central Statistical Office, which gather income data since 1980 and 1993, respectively. The quality of the information is assessed by collecting the available evidence on differential response rates and mis-reporting, and by comparing grossed-up survey results with aggregate figures from the labour force survey and the national accounts. The evidence from income sample surveys is tentatively used to identify the main episodes in the post-war evolution of income inequality.

impact of economic crisis on cause specific mortality in south korea
International Journal of Epidemiology, 2005Co-Authors: Youngho Khang, John Lynch, George A KaplanAbstract:Accepted 29 September 2005Background Economic changes can be powerful determinants of health. In the late 1990s,South Korea experienced a steep economic decline. This study examines whetherthe massive economic changes affected trends in all-cause and cause-specificmortality in South Korea.Method Mid-year population estimates of 5 year age groups (denominators) and deathcertificate data (numerators) from the National Statistical Office of Korea wereused to compute cause-specific age-standardized mortality rates before and afterthe economic crisis.Results All-cause mortality continued to decrease in both sexes and all age groups duringthecrisis.Cerebrovascularaccidents,stomachcancer,andliverdiseasecontributedmost to this decline. A remarkable decrease in transport accident mortality rateswas also observed. The most salient increase in mortality was suicidal death.Mortality from homicide, pneumonia, and alcohol dependence increased duringthe economic crisis, but these accounted for a small proportion of total mortality.Conclusions Short-term mortality effects of the South Korean economic crisis were relativelysmall. It appears that any short-term effects of the economic decline wereoverwhelmedbythemomentumoflargedeclinesincausesofdeathsuchasstroke,stomach cancer, and liver disease, which are probably related to exposures withmuchlongeraetiologicalperiods.However,thisstudyfocusedonratherimmediatemortality effects and follow-up studies are needed to elucidate any longer-termhealth effects of the South Korean economic crisis.Keywords Economic recession, socioeconomic factors, mortality, South Korea
