[…] should be included in the over-sample. In this paper we draw on a wide ranging review of the literature, the results from an intensive consultation exercise, the impact of current policy concerns and priorities, existing practice and development work already carried out for Understanding Society and in its Innovation Panel to establish the precise […]

[…] British Household Panel Survey to present the first estimates of the housework-wage relationship in Britain. Controlling for permanent unobserved heterogeneity, we find that housework has a negative impact on the wages of men and women, both married and single, who work full-time. Among women working part-time, only single women suffer a housework penalty. The […]

[…] Little is however known about the properties of errors in event history data. This paper examines errors in event history data derived from panel interviews and their impact on estimates. The study uses survey reports on the receipt of State benefits, which were collected in the context of the British Household Panel Survey, and […]

[…] a weak but significant association between interviewer departures from standard interviewing practice and the occurrence of respondent cognition problems regardless of question type. Dependent interviewing did, however, impact the survey interaction itself. We found that dependent interviewing questions were nearly 6.5 times more likely to be interrupted by respondents than regular survey questions. We […]

[…] 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 […]
