We focus on whether person-specific disability, as measured by the Census, is a permanent or a transitory condition. Survey data results regarding the incidence of Census-measured disability are shown both cross-sectionally and longitudinally. It is found from longitudinal CPS and SIPP responses that Census-measured disability is largely transitory. That finding empirically confirms the longstanding theoretical objections to the use of Census cross-section disability data along with a permanent disability assumption in worklife expectancy models; hence, any worklife expectancy model which assumes that Census disability measures are permanent conditions is misspecified and empirically invalid. Instead of using the permanent disability assumption, we use actual longitudinal disability transition probabilities and life table analysis to quantify the lifetime duration of disability as measured by the Census in total life years and working life years. We show that the realistic feature of disability transition dramatically lowers the effect of disability on worklife expectancy.","PeriodicalId":265321,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Forensic Economics","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126119896","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Interest rates did indeed rise sharply. But by 1996 interest rates were already fallings rates have continued to fall so that the status quo ante has been essentially restored. This bit of forensic economic history would be of little interest except that Johnson and Gelles are still cited to help justify net interest rates more appropriate to the 1980s than to 2015. This note updates their work, using their same sources and methods it is intended in part to show that the high interest rates described in their paper are not now relevant. The note continues, to discuss how to measure net interest rates. There are two issues: (1) The net rate for an n-year note should use the n-year rate of wage increases alternatively it should compare the 1-year rate of return on the n-year note (with capital gains from resale) with the 1-year rate of wage increase. (2) Interest rates are measured daily, and wages monthly. Does the use of annual averages change the resultsq Answer: the overall picture given by alternative definitions is not very sensitive to the definition of the net interest rate, except that when 3- or 10-year notes are held for just one year and re-sold to give a total annual return that includes interest and capital gains or losses, volatility of returns is considerably higher than when the securities are held to maturitys the result suggests that the return on Treasury notes for one year with resale is not appropriate for discounting earnings losses to present value.","PeriodicalId":265321,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Forensic Economics","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117316314","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The article finds attributes of stationarity in each of the series examined and notes greater support for total offset of interest rates and medical cost growth rates than does previously published research. The present study makes four adjustments to Schap, Guest and Kraynak (2013). First, the data set is updated by two years and four months. Second, the t-test applied in the original study and also used in earlier studies of total offset fails to account for autocorrelated error terms, so a substitute test is applied to both the original data set and the newly extended data set, with results reported. Third, Phillips-Perron testing is conducted in addition to Augmented Dickey-Fuller and Kwiatkowski-Phillips-Schmidt-Shin testing of stationarity of the various series analyzed, with results reported. Finally, Zivot-Andrews testing is applied diagnostically, to identify stationary sub-series of MNDRs, similar to an approach used successfully to identify stationary sub-series of wage net discount rates (Schap, Baumann and Guest, 2014). The data analysis suggests two options available to practicing forensic economists who endorse the use of Treasury securities of short duration in formulating MNDRs. One option is to use total offset (i.e., a zero MNDR), based on modestly favorable empirical support in the period 1981:01 to 2014:10. The alternative option would be to rely on a body of evidence amassed over a shorter time frame, from 2001:01 to 2014:10, but which has remarkably strong stationarity properties and yields MNDRs between minus 1.5 and minus 2.0% (i.e., an implicit forecast of medical cost growth exceeding the discount factor).","PeriodicalId":265321,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Forensic Economics","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116799874","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
