Abstract

This thesis focuses on factor analysis as a technique. It thus includes a survey of the various factor mode ls, their theory and mathematical development, a survey of its previous use for empirical studies in economics, and empirical tests of sensitivity of alternative factor techniques. From the results of the sensitivity test it was concluded that different factor techniques yield very similar results and that factor techniques are of value for empirical studies in economics.
