Examining the structure of spatial health effects in Germany using Hierarchical Bayes Models
Eibich, Peter; Ziebarth, Nicolas R. - 2013
This paper uses Hierarchical Bayes Models to model and estimate spatial health effects in Germany. We combine rich individual-level household panel data from the German SOEP with administrative county-level data to estimate spatial county-level health dependencies. As dependent variable we use...

Instrumental Variable Estimation of the Causal Effect of Hunger Early in Life on Health Later in Life
van den Berg, Gerard J.; Pinger, Pia R.; Schoch, Johannes - 2014
We estimate average causal effects of early-life hunger on late-life health by applying instrumental variable estimation, using data with self-reported periods of hunger earlier in life, with famines as instruments. The data contain samples from European countries and include birth cohorts...

Earnings Assimilation of Immigrants in Germany: The Importance of Heterogeneity and Attrition Bias
Fertig, Michael; Schurer, Stefanie - 2007
Heterogeneity in the ethnic composition of Germany's immigrant population renders general conclusions on the degree of … unobserved heterogeneity and panel attrition in determining the speed of assimilation is analysed. We find evidence for … heterogeneity in the assimilation profiles and for robust assimilation profiles for two entry cohorts only. Omitted variables …

Unemployment and smoking: Causation, selection, or common cause? Evidence from longitudinal data
Schunck, Reinhard; Rogge, Benedikt G. - 2012
Background: This study investigates possible mechanisms that can explain the association between unemployment and smoking, that is a) unemployment increases smoking probability (causation), b) smoking increases the probability to become unemployed (selection), and c) differences in both smoking...
