[…] by employers. Our fixed effects estimates reveal that employer-financed training is associated with higher wages both in the current and future firms, with some eveidence that the impact in future firms is larger.

[…] the British Household Panel Survey and find that, of three different types of risks that we test for, household-specific shocks and economy-wide aggregate shocks have the greatest impact on consumption, in comparison to shocks to the income stream.

[…] annual individual labor income from three representative panel datasets (German SOEP, British BHPS, Australian HILDA) we investigate a) the selectivity of item non-response (INR) and b) the impact of imputation as a prominent post-survey means to cope with this type of measurement error on prototypical analyses (earnings inequality, mobility and wage regressions) in a […]

[…] Britain. Evidence shows that higher levels of parental control and better parent-child relationships, which are more likely to happen in higher socio-economic families, have a crucial positive impact on students’ attainment process. It largely mediates the effects of class background on students’ aspirations and examination performance. Results overall suggest both academic achievements and aspirations […]

Initial definitions of well-being have tended to focus on the psychological consequences of ill-health or economic deprivation, in particular the negative impact of life events, change, and poverty. Whilst steps have been made towards understanding individual well-being in terms more than the psychological consequences of health and economic circumstances, there is still a tendency […]
