Neighbourhood Effects

Dataset Information

The project "neighbourhood effects" aims at combining existing individual-level datasets at a small scale regional level with informations on the respective neighbourhood, which are generated from different data sources. In a second step, the role of neighbourhood effects on varying outcome variables is analyzed in a social context. Possible approaches are, among others, the investigation of the importance of neighbourhood effects on the individual labor market success or the individual likelihood of receiving welfare benefits.
