[…] a conceptual framework of influences on the response outcomes available for analysis. Section two develops a crossnational codeframe of response outcome codes. The last section investigates the impact that differential ways of deriving final case outcomes have on the estimated response, contact and cooperation rates. The results emphasise the importance of careful measurement of […]
[…] with their neighbours. The results suggest that all three forms of mobility have increased over time and are negatively associated with visiting neighbours. The most substantial negative impact on visiting neighbours is observed for increases in residential mobility. With further increases in mobility, close neighbours may become less relevant. Nevertheless, presently the incidence of […]
[…] caution in interpretation of our findings. These are largely descriptive and point to associations that are indicative but not conclusive regarding causation. A full-blown analysis of the impact of particular policies or policy changes requires a different type of study than this one. We also point to potential extensions to the modelling approach, for […]

[…] 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 […]
[…] union membership also affect wages. The estimates suggest that UK trade unions still play a non-negligible, albeit diminishing, role in wage formation. It appears that the greater impact of unobservables in determining individual union propensity concerning the second period under analysis, versus past unionisation experience, implies that those remaining in unions during (1997-2002) gain […]
We use British Household Panel Survey data to explore the exogenous impact of income on a number of individual health outcomes: general health status, mental health, physical health problems, and behavioural variables (alcohol consumption and smoking). Lottery winnings allow us to make causal statements regarding the effect of income on health, as these are […]
