[…] a new partner. Multiple annual observations on most re-partnered fathers in our sample allow us to use ‘within-father’ variation over time in partners’ incomes to identify the impact of individual partners’ incomes on child support payments. In other words, we can allow for unobserved persistent influences on child support payments, including the father’s ex-partner’s […]

[…] changes in these over the period, during which the UK economic and policy environments changed considerably. It then analyses the extent to which differences in social class impact on the formation of women’s attitudes, and/or on their ability to attain their desired work-family outcomes.

In this report we analyse the distributional impact after accounting for imputed rents in the household disposable income measure, using the Family Expenditure Survey 2000/01 and the Family Resources Survey 2003/4 data. Rent imputation has been performed following an “opportunity cost approach” implemented with two alternative methodologies, based on regression and stratification. We find […]

[…] service that beneficiaries would otherwise need to spend cash resources on and in this respect is regarded as a non-cash government transfer. The study of the distributional impact of public education non-cash transfers requires micro-level survey data representative of the UK population, besides national accounts aggregates for current public education expenditure. We use two […]

[…] analyzes spillover effects, anticipation effects and direct effects of a poverty program on domestic and international migration in rural communities in Mexico. Particularly, we study the regional impact of Progresa (renamed Oportunidades) on migration. We apply difference-in-difference propensity score matching techniques to estimate the existence of spillover effects using as a control group a […]

[…] to the overeducation literature using panel data from the British Household Panel Survey. Much has been written about who is more likely to be overeducated, and the impact of being overeducated on wages, at particular points in time using cross-sectional data. Panel data allows us to control for unobserved individual heterogeneity in the determinants […]

[…] enjoyed bilateral political support, and the only major changes (eg in 1992) have been to extend entitlement and increase expenditure. But remarkably little is known about the impact of these benefits – exactly what difference they make to claimants’ care and mobility arrangements, to their overall standard of living, and to their social inclusion […]

[…] and within Europe, this work presents a comprehensive and critical overview of the historical, legal, policy and cultural framework underpinning different types of European migration. Analysing the impact of migration on women’s careers, the impact of migration on family life and gender perspectives on forced migration, the authors also examine the consequences of EU […]

In this groundbreaking study, Linda Cusworth explores the impact of parental employment or unemployment, on the educational and emotional well-being of their children.
