Studies have shown that children from some ethnic minority families are disproportionately represented in the child protection system. Ethnic-based treatment is problematic because it challenges whether child protection decision-making is based on the principle of ’the best interests of the...

The effect of education on the transition to second births is examined using three waves of the Hungarian GGS data. We hypothesize that higher education increases the hazard of second conception and this effect is due to the presence of highly educated partner. Parity-specific survival models...

Multilevel multiprocess hazard models are routinely used by demographers to control for endogeneity and selection effects. These models consist of multilevel proportional hazards equations, and possibly probit equations, with correlated random effects. Although Stata currently lacks a...

A tanulmány áttekinti az adatok felfedés elleni védelmét szolgáló eljárások statisztikai következményeit, és részletesen elemzi az adatcsere kovariancia- és regressziós becslésekre gyakorolt hatását. Amellett érvel, hogy az adatcsere kitüntetett szerepet tölt be a felfedés...

Students of racial and gender inequalities are often interested in knowing to what extent an observed group difference can be attributed to differences in returns to productive abilities (discrimination effect) or to differences in the average of productive abilities (endowment effect). The...

Margin is a user-written program that estimates average marginal effects, i.e. the sample average of the effects of partial or discrete changes in the explanatory variables. The presentation will compare the performance of margin and the official mfx. Margin is quicker because it computes the...

This paper adresses the question under which conditions do social networks affect labor market outcomes. Because of imperfect information, personal connections are effective in amtching persons and jobs, thus, besides education, social networks are expected to affect status and income...

Multilevel multiprocess models are routinely used to study parallel processes of repeated demographic events, like births, union formation, and union dissolution. Multilevel multiprocess models are simultaneous equations for hazards including heterogeneity components, and the joint estimation of...
