[…] per cent of the total population over two decades. The ageing population presents multiple challenges to the nation across all areas of society. Less considered is the impact on loneliness. Removing obstacles to social connection in later life will be critical for ensuring a healthy and prosperous older population in the decades to come. […]
[…] individuals’ skills. A good manager is someone who consistently causes their team to produce more than the sum of their parts. Good managers have roughly twice the impact on team performance as good workers. People who nominate themselves to be in charge perform worse than managers appointed by lottery, in part because self-promoted managers […]

[…] of LinkedIn users in the UK, as understanding this context shows the coverage of who can be asked to consent. We then explore consent outcomes, assessing the impact of question placement and wording on participants’ willingness to link data, and identifying other factors associated with LinkedIn consent. Our findings reveal that a notable proportion […]
[…] its extensive global network of over 900 million members across more than 200 countries, presents a unique repository for examining labour market dynamics, professional development, and the impact of social networking on employment opportunities.

[…] estimation of ITEs. We show empirically that our proposed approach yields models of higher complexity and more accurate predictions of ITEs, and is competitive with traditional methods for estimating average treatment effects. Our results confirm that reweighing methods can struggle with ITE estimation and that the choice of model class can significantly impact prediction performance.
[…] procedures that are implemented to produce non-response adjustments to the design weights. We then present some indicators of sample representativeness at the initial wave and of the impact that subsequent sample attrition has on this before concluding with some reflections on the nature of representativeness and estimation methods in the context of a highly […]
[…] stress in each job using data on occupational health contents. Taking our model to British data from Understanding Society combined with information from O*NET, we estimate the impact of job characteristics on health dynamics and the effects of health and job stress contents on career choices. We use our model to quantify the effects […]
