The resulting aggregate TFPR
dispersion measures look very similar to those shown in Table 1, except for the first eight years.
The Herfindahl Index and other share
dispersion measuresPrice
dispersion measures computed directly from price data indicate that prices for pharmaceutical drugs vary substantially both within and between individual markets.
First of all, the absolute diversification potential of cross-country and cross-industry stocks allocation is definitely time-varying and the national and industry
dispersion measures exhibit co-movement in the same direction.
Abraham and Katz (1986) demonstrate that this
dispersion measure will increase even if no sectoral reallocation is present, simply because some industries are more cyclically sensitive than others.
However, the studies relating unemployment to
dispersion measures have largely ignored the effects of demographic changes and other traditional labor-market variables.
Replacing |g.sub.it~ with |Mathematical Expression Omitted~ in (2) gives a
dispersion measure |Mathematical Expression Omitted~ that has average aggregate and industry growth rates removed.
Although two of the three newly discovered FRBs were discovered relatively close to the galactic plane, their
dispersion measures and redshifts suggests an extragalactic origin.
"The striking difference between the evolution of the two
dispersion measures argues against the importance of changing distortions that affect both capital and labor at the same time," the authors write.
These studies are concerned with regional labour market variables (Dixon et al., 2001; Dixon, 2006; Dixon and Mahmood, 2006), following Martin's (1997) application of absolute dispersion and relative
dispersion measures to regional unemployment data for the United Kingdom.
