Controlling for time fixed effects in analyses on longitudinal data by means of timedummy variables has long been a standard tool in every applied econometrician's toolbox. In order to obtain unbiased estimates, time fixed effects are typically put forward to control for macroeconomic shocks and...

Purpose - This paper aims to explore John Mbiti's concept of African time in line with the studies on the crisis of the post-independence African state. Then, how this concept offers new analytical spaces for understanding the modern nation-states inconveniences in African contexts....

This article deals with the role of time in causal models in the social sciences, in particular in structural causal modeling, in contrast to time-free models. The aim is to underline the importance of time-sensitive causal models. For this purpose, it also refers to the important discussion on...

Stadtplanungsprozesse bewegen sich im Wirkungsverhältnis sich ständig ändernder globaler, regionaler und lokaler Dynamiken. Prozesse daher aus der zeitlichen Perspektive zu betrachten, kann ein Schlüssel zum Verständnis dieser komplexen Sinnzusammenhänge sein. Obgleich in der...

While several studies suggest that stress-related mental health problems among school children are related to specific elements of schooling, empirical evidence on this causal relationship is scarce. We examine a German schooling reform that increased weekly instruction time and study its...

Wie in vielen anderen Weltregionen soll der halbjährliche Wechsel zwischen Winter- und Sommerzeit in der EU abgeschafft werden. Dieser Beitrag untersucht, ob es eine optimale Zeitzone für ein Land gibt und ob ein „Zeitzonenflickenteppich“ tatsächlich mit hohen ökonomischen Kosten...

The European Union has recently decided to stop the policy of biannual clock changes in 2021. One reason is that the original rationale for the policy, energy savings, is not supported by a large portion of recent empirical studies. Whether the new permanent time will be standard time or the...

People rely on their experiences when making important decisions. In making these decisions, individuals may be significantly influenced by the timing of their experiences. Using administrative data, we study whether the order in which students are assigned courses affects the choice of college...

The paper presents a modification of the matching and difference-in-differences approach of Heckman et al. (1998) and its Stata implementation, the command flexpaneldid. The approach is particularly useful for causal analysis of treatments with varying start dates and varying treatment durations...
