Analyzing Nonresponse in Longitudinal Surveys Using Bayesian Additive Regression Trees: A Nonparametric Event History Analysis

Increasing nonresponse rates is a pressing issue for many longitudinal panel studies. Respondents frequently either refuse participation in single survey waves (temporary dropout) or discontinue participation altogether (permanent dropout).

How can stated preferences, often criticised as inconsequential “cheap talk,” be more valid and predictive than ...

We show that organisation’s mission plays a critical role. In sectors where mission is important, despite receiving higher wages than their less talented colleagues, high-ability workers perceive their contract as unfair because ...

Women with children first? Parenthood, policies, and gender gaps in three European labour markets

Parenthood divides today the careers of women and men. A family gap has emerged in labour markets: Women pay economic and career prices for motherhood, while the career progression of men marches on come fatherhood. Gender inequality in paid work persists despite institutional change aimed at mitigating it or curbing it altogether. Labour market and welfare institutions have variously departed from ...

Four Essays on the Economics of Education and Inequality

This dissertation includes four essays on the economic analysis of education and inequality. The first essay shows that, between 1993 and 2013, the income share of housing expenditures in Germany increased strongly for the bottom income quintile and fell for the top quintile. These trends are driven by a decline in the costs of homeownership versus renting, changes in household structure, and residential ...
