The widely held view that separation has adverse effects on children has been
the basis of important policy interventions. While a small number of analyses have been concerned with selection into divorce, no studies have ...
I use panel data to examine whether long-term changes in industry wages are positively related to long-term changes in industry employment. Previous research using repeated cross-sectional data found no systematic relationship ...

A number of researchers have recently argued that the new-Keynesian Phillips curve matches the empirical behavior of inflation well when the labor income share is used as a driving variable, but fits poorly when deterministically ...
The MOLAND project's aim is to provide spatial planning tools that can be used to assess, monitor and model the development of urban and regional environments. To date it has been applied to an area of over 70,000km2 across ...

A widely shared intuition holds that individual control over money matters for
the decision process within the household and the subsequent distribution of re-

Individuals who vote in one election are also more likely to vote in the next. Modelling the causal relationship between consecutive voting decisions however is intrinsically difficult, as this positive association can ...
