Dynamic discrete choice models usually require a general specification of unobserved heterogeneity. In this paper, we apply Bayesian procedures as a numerical tool for the estimation of a female labor supply model based on a sample size which is typical for common household panels. We provide two important results for the practitioner: First, for a specification with a multivariate normal distribution ...

It is still unclear to what extent time allocation retrospectively reported in questionnaires reflects people's actual behavior. Addressing this research gap, we analyze the congruence oftime use information assessed through retrospective questionnaires and through experience sampling methodology. Participants completed standard survey questions on time allocation. In addition, a mobile-phone-based ...

Respondent-driven sampling is a network sampling technique typically employed for hard-to-reach populations (for example, drug users, men who have sex with men, people with HIV). Similarly to snowball sampling, initial seed respondents recruit additional respondents from their network of friends. The recruiting process repeats iteratively, thereby forming long referral chains. Unlike in snowball sampling, ...

In den Wirtschafts- und Sozialwissenschaften setzt sich zunehmend die Erkenntnis durch, dass die Ebene der Organisation in der eine Person arbeitet, von wesentlicher Bedeutung für die Erklärung von individuellem Lebenserfolg ist. Dies gilt unter anderem für die ökonomische und soziologische Arbeitsmarktforschung, die Netzwerk- und Sozialkapitalforschung, die Gesundheitsforschung, die Forschung zu...
Findings from many behavioral genetic studies utilizing the classical twin design suggest that genetic and non-shared environmental effects play a significant role in human personality traits. This study focuses on the methodological advantages of extending the sampling frame to include multiple dyads of relatives. We investigated the sensitivity of heritability estimates to the inclusion of sibling ...
