This paper examines the impact of neighbourhood on the income and mental health of individuals living in social housing in the United Kingdom. We exploit a dataset that is representative and longitudinal to match people to their very local neighbourhoods. Using this, we examine the effect of living in a neighbourhood in which the […]
[…] on these questions in the case of young people in Germany. In particular, it examines the extent to which maternal and paternal unemployment during childhood have an impact on political far right-wing views, affinities to right-wing extremist parties, and the chances of joining skinhead or neo-Nazi groups. Also examined are young Germans’ prejudices and […]
[…] 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. Finally, the longitudinal features of the BHPS are used to […]
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 […]
[…] survey manageable, we restrict attention to studies that consider the relationship between parental poverty (or ‘income’) during childhood and later-life outcomes; we do not explicitly consider the impact of other family background variables such as parental education. The general message is that growing up poor has a deleterious impact on later-life chances, and that […]
[…] 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 […]
