[…] 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 […]
[…] cycle. We analyse these stylised facts in a panel context, advancing an innovative identification strategy to disentangle age, cohort and time effects. Furthermore, we carefully model the impact of prices by modeling the user cost of durables in the light of substantial price changes for the durable commodities. Given the potential link between the […]
[…] positively correlated. These results of the GGSS shall serve as basis for further analyses on the BHPS. In my paper I analyse the data of the BHPS in order to answer the following question: Compared to my results on the impact of personality on nonresponse, do personality traits affect panel attrition in the same way?
