[…] explore the ways in which a selection of life course transitions and events cohere in significant ways with one another, and with participation in adult education and training, in particular. The paper demonstrates how the BHPS can be used to theorize and model the impact of context on adult life and adult learning in particular.
In this research we investigate the impact of women’s breadwinner roles on income inequality in the United States, Germany and Britain. We use panel data models to investigate the evolution of couples work careers and women’s earnings in the first five years following union formation. The data for our analyses come from the Panel […]
[…] British Household Panel Survey to present the first estimates of the housework-wage relationship in Britain. Controlling for permanent unobserved heterogeneity, we find that housework has a negative impact on the wages of men and women, both married and single, who work full-time. Among women working part-time, only single women suffer a housework penalty. The […]
[…] non-employment. The distinction between types of promotion, made in our study, proved fruitful as it seems to explain gender differences in promotion probabilities. We show that the impact of gender on promotions depends crucially on how promotions are defined. Women are more likely than men to receive automatic promotions, but as likely to receive […]

[…] Norwegian single parent benefit reform, in which work and educational requirements were introduced, time limits imposed, and the maximum benefit level increased. We propose to identify the impact of the reform by taking the difference between a pre-reform difference-in-difference estimator and a post-reform difference-in-difference estimator of the effects of becoming single mother on earnings, […]
[…] they receive less political support in countries with well-established middle class due to their distributional effects. This paper tries to answer the question what would be the impact on income distribution, e.g. in terms of inequality and poverty, of implementing a flat income tax in Western European countries. Using EUROMOD, which is a tax-benefit […]
Design effects are useful measures of the impact of a sample design on the precision of survey-based estimates. However, they are often misunderstood. Research in recent years has provided some clarity regarding definitions and some guidance regarding practical applications, including both issues relating to the use of predicted design effects to inform sample design […]
