A.; George, D. The Use of Computerised Cash Flow Models of U.S. Unemployment Insurance Programmes. In: International Social Security Asso- Hameenlinna, Finland, Loimaan A paper presented at the International Social Security Association's Sixth International Conference of Social Security Actuaries and Statisticians, Helsinki, Finland, 1975, summarizes simple cash flow computer programs developed to simulate the income, outgo, and reserves of the U.S. unemployment insurance (UI) system. Results relate to economic assumptions as to unemployment rates, wage increases, and labor-force changes; various elements of the UI plan which determine benefits; and elements that determine tax income. jnl-mod. 1905 Van Erden, James D. Projecting Extended Benefit Triggers for Unemployment Insurance: A Methodological and Empirical Analysis.

Washington, DC, American Statistical Association, 1978. 829 pp. Department of Labor. In a paper read at the annual meeting of the American Statistical Association Business and Economic Statistics Section, Chicago, Illinois, August 1977, estimates of extended unemployment insurance benefit triggers for California, North Dakota, and Virginia are given a methodological and empirical analysis. Results indicate that the process of estimating extended benefit triggers is primarily tied to forecasting the time series weeks claimed. The Box-Jenkins model is considered successful for forecasts in the larger or more stable States. Suggestions for improving forecasts in smaller States are given. pro-gen. 1907 Ycas, Martynas A. An Introduction to the Income Survey Washington, DC, DHEW, ISDP, 1979. The Income Survey Development Program (ISDP) established to examine and to resolve the content, operational, and technical issues involved in designing the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) is described. SIPP is planned as a national longitudinal household survey which will collect data on cash and in-kind income, program eligibility and participation, net worth, and related variables on a recurring basis after 1980. SIPP will be the joint responsibility of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare and the Bureau of the Census. Reports of workshops held in conjunction with the planning for SIPP are available from ISDP staff. jnl-mod. 1906 Vogel, Linda; Coble, Terry. Current Population Survey Reporting of Social Security Numbers. In: American Statistical Association, 1974 Proceedings of the Social Statistics Section, pp. 130-136. Washington, DC, American Statistical Association, 1975. 474 pp. Social Security Administration. In a paper read at the annual meeting of the American Statistical Association, Social Statistics Section, St. Louis, Missouri, August 26-29, 1974, the reporting and nonreporting of social security numbers (SSN's) for a project to match SSA earnings and benefit records to Current Population Survey data are discussed. Age and race were found to be major determinants of the likelihood of SSN's being reported; household respondents were more likely to report their SSN's. Chances for human and machine error in the reporting system are identified. pro-gen. Chapter 9: Statistical This chapter contains publications of statistical data and 397 |
