Explaining Interviewee Contact and Co-operation in the British and German Household Panels

[…] opportunity to investigate if differentials in the contact and co-operation rates are due to differences in the data collection, personal and household characteristics and/or differences in their impact between countries or between surveys in a same country. If the differentials are explained mainly by differences in the characteristics then it is possible to reduce […]

The Welfare Cost of Means-Testing: pensioner participation in income support

[…] levels of stigma and other claim costs and non-claimants tend to be those with high levels of claim cost. A further aim is to assess the potential impact of implicit claim costs on the measurement of poverty. Implicit costs are found to be moderate for most IS recipients, typically around £3-4 per week (or […]

Panel conditioning and scale reliability: evidence from the British Household Panel Study

[…] in influencing responses between waves. However, while conditioning effects are widely believed to be pervasive in panel survey research, the general consensus appears to be that their impact on marginal distributions is, at most, negligible (Holt 1989). In this paper, we take a somewhat different approach and examine the effect of panel membership on […]

Participation in Multiple Welfare Programmes: discrete choice with heterogeneous awareness

[…] Tax Benefit). The model allows for imperfect information and subjective claim costs and is estimated using data from five years of the Family Resources Survey. We use the model to estimate the distribution of claim costs using the compensating variation principle and assess the impact of claim costs and information search costs on poverty measurement.

Parent and Adult-child Interactions: empirical evidence from Britain

[…] financial and in-kind, such as childcare. The empirical analysis is motivated by a theoretical model of an efficient extended family, and a number of predictions about the impact of parents’ and children’s economic resources on these interactions are consistent with the model. But there are also some findings that are hard to reconcile with […]
