Panel Studies of Variation and Change

Panel Studies of Variation and Change

The relationship between the individual and the community is at the core of sociolinguistic theorizing. To date most longitudinal research has been conducted on the basis of trend studies such as replications of cross-sectional studies or comparisons between present-day cross-sectional data and ‘legacy’ data. While the past few years have seen an increasing interest in panel research much of this work has been published in a variety of formats and languages and is thus not easily accessible. This edited volume brings together the major researchers in the field of panel research highlighting connections and convergences across and between chapters methods and findings with the aim of initiating a dialogue about best practices and ways forward in sociolinguistic panel studies. By providing for the first time a platform for key research on panel data in one coherent edition this volume aims to shape the agenda in this increasingly vibrant field of research. | Panel Studies of Variation and Change

Microeconometrics Using Stata Second Edition Volume I: Cross-Sectional and Panel Regression Models

Microeconometrics Using Stata Second Edition Volume I: Cross-Sectional and Panel Regression Models

Microeconometrics Using Stata Second Edition is an invaluable reference for researchers and students interested in applied microeconometric methods. Like previous editions this text covers all the classic microeconometric techniques ranging from linear models to instrumental-variables regression to panel-data estimation to nonlinear models such as probit tobit Poisson and choice models. Each of these discussions has been updated to show the most modern implementation in Stata and many include additional explanation of the underlying methods. In addition the authors introduce readers to performing simulations in Stata and then use simulations to illustrate methods in other parts of the book. They even teach you how to code your own estimators in Stata. The second edition is greatly expanded—the new material is so extensive that the text now comprises two volumes. In addition to the classics the book now teaches recently developed econometric methods and the methods newly added to Stata. Specifically the book includes entirely new chapters on duration models randomized control trials and exogenous treatment effects endogenous treatment effects models for endogeneity and heterogeneity including finite mixture models structural equation models and nonlinear mixed-effects models spatial autoregressive models semiparametric regression lasso for prediction and inference Bayesian analysis Anyone interested in learning classic and modern econometric methods will find this the perfect companion. And those who apply these methods to their own data will return to this reference over and over as they need to implement the various techniques described in this book. | Microeconometrics Using Stata Second Edition Volume I: Cross-Sectional and Panel Regression Models

Squeezing Birth into Working Life Household Panel Data Analyses Comparing Germany Great Britain Sweden and The Netherlands

Squeezing Birth into Working Life Household Panel Data Analyses Comparing Germany Great Britain Sweden and The Netherlands

This title was first published in 2001. Increasingly young women throughout Europe educate themselves for a life-long labour market career. So where does birth fit into a young woman's curriculum vitae? This book takes a welfare state comparative perspective on this issue analyzing relevant macro policies from four countries whose political views on the combination of work and family differ namely Germany Britain the Netherlands and Sweden. The effects of these macro policies on the micro economic labour market and fertility behaviour are also examined using household panel data from each country. For this purpose all available information from the four countries has been organized into fertility and work histories on a month-to-month basis around the date of giving birth. Within the welfare state comparative framework hypotheses on women's labour market transitions in connection with childbirth women's share in joint family earnings around the birth of the first and the second child the timing of having a first and subsequent child are derived from economic theory on human capital and labour supply. | Squeezing Birth into Working Life Household Panel Data Analyses Comparing Germany Great Britain Sweden and The Netherlands

Handbook of Empirical Economics and Finance

Handbook of Empirical Economics and Finance

Handbook of Empirical Economics and Finance explores the latest developments in the analysis and modeling of economic and financial data. Well-recognized econometric experts discuss the rapidly growing research in economics and finance and offer insight on the future direction of these fields.

Experimental Comparisons of Usability Evaluation Methods A Special Issue of Human-Computer Interaction

Experimental Comparisons of Usability Evaluation Methods A Special Issue of Human-Computer Interaction

This special issue contains essays regarding the CHI '95 conference which featured a panel titled Discount or Disservice? Discount Usability Analysis: Evaluation at a Bargain Price or Simply Damaged Merchandise? Wayne Gray who organized the panel presented a controversial critique of studies that had evaluated various usability evaluation methods (UEMs). The level of interest in this discussion led Gray to propose a review article that dealt with the issues in a more systematic fashion. The resulting essay written by Gray and his collaborator Marilyn Salzman conducted an in-depth review of a series of influential studies that used experimental methods to compare a variety of UEMs. Gray and Salzman's analysis was framed using Cook and Campbell's (1979) well-known discussion of various forms of validity. They used this to evaluate numerous details of these comparative studies and they concluded that the studies fell short on the criteria by which good experimental studies are designed and interpreted. | Experimental Comparisons of Usability Evaluation Methods A Special Issue of Human-Computer Interaction
