Log-linear, logit and logistic regression models are the most common ways of analyzing data when (at least) the dependent variable is categorical. This volume shows how to compare coefficient estimates from regression models for categorical dependent variables in three typical research situations: (i) within one equation, (ii) between identical equations estimated in different subgroups, and (iii) between nested equations. Each of these three kinds of comparisons brings along its own particular form of comparison problems. Further, in all three areas, the precise nature of comparison problems in logistic regression depends on how the logistic regression model is looked at and how the effects of the independent variables are computed. This volume presents a practical, unified treatment of these problems, and considers the advantages and disadvantages of each approach, and when to use them, so that applied researchers can make the best choice related to their research problem. The techniques are illustrated with data from simulation experiments and from publicly available surveys. The datasets, along with Stata syntax, are available on a companion website.

For a long time in-work poverty was not associated with European welfare states. Recently, the topic has gained relevance as welfare state retrenchment and international competition in globalized economies has put increasing pressures on individuals and families. This book provides explanations as to why in-work poverty is high in certain countries and low in others.Much of the present concern about the working poor has to do with recent changes in labour market policies in Europe. However, this book is not primarily about low pay. Instead, it questions whether gainful employment is sufficient to earn a living - both for oneself and for one's family members. There are, however, great differences between European countries. This book argues that the incidence and structure of the working poor cannot be understood without a thorough understanding of each country's institutional context. This includes the system of wage-setting, the level of decommodification provided by the social security system and the structure of families and households. Combining cross-country studies with in-depth analyses from a national perspective, the book reveals that in-work poverty in Europe is a diverse, multi-faceted phenomenon occurring in equally diverse institutional, economic and socio-demographic settings.With its rich detail and conclusions, this genuinely comparative study will be of interest to academics and researchers of labour and welfare economics, social policy and European studies as well as to policy advisers.

In recent decades the probability of divorce and separation among married and cohabiting couples has increased significantly in most European countries. Focusing on both economic and social aspects, this comprehensive volume explores the consequences of partnership dissolution at the individual level. The contributors use personal characteristics, properties of the partnerships and the institutional context to explain coping behaviours.The book comprises reports on eight countries, which have tentatively been classified as: 'the male breadwinner' (Belgium and Germany), 'the dual earner' (Denmark, Finland and Sweden), 'the market' (Great Britain) and 'the family' model (Spain and Greece). It also contains four cross-national comparative studies addressing the wider impacts of divorce, including labour force participation, residential mobility and housing, household income, and poverty and lifestyle deprivation. Complemented by the editors' authoritative introduction, this timely study will prove invaluable to graduate students and researchers interested in the economics and sociology of the family. Legal and public policy practitioners will also find the book an insightful addition to the current literature.

Gewinne macht man bei einer Scheidung nicht, so jedenfalls die landläufige Meinung, und je nach Standpunkt sagen die einen, Männer seien die Verlierer, während andere vor allem Frauen und Kinder als Benachteiligte sehen. Diese Untersuchung betrachtet die wirtschaftlichen Folgen von Trennung und Scheidung aus unterschiedlichen Blickwinkeln: Wie verändern sich Einkommen, Wohnsituation und Erwerbsbeteiligung im Zusammenhang mit einer Trennung? In welcher Höhe und mit welcher Regelmäßigkeit wird Unterhalt gezahlt? Wie wird das Rechtssystem zur Durchsetzung von Unterhaltsansprüchen genutzt? Welche Sozialleistungen werden in Folge einer Trennung in Anspruch genommen? Und wie verändert sich das subjektive Wohlbefinden nach Trennung und Scheidung? Zur Beantwortung dieser Fragen greifen die Autoren sowohl auf Befragungsdaten von Betroffenen als auch auf Informationen aus Expertengesprächen mit Familienrichtern, Scheidungsanwälten und anderen Sachverständigen zurück.

Dieses Buch behandelt Modelle zur Analyse kategorialer Daten. Kategoriale Daten sind Variablen, die eine begrenzte Anzahl von Ausprägungen (Kategorien) haben. Bei vielen der in Umfrageforschung und amtlicher Statistik erhobenen Merkmale handelt es sich um kategoriale Daten. Beispiele wären etwa das Geschlecht einer Befragungsperson, ihre Parteipräferenz, die Anzahl der Mitbewohner im Haushalt dieser Person, ihre Schichtzugehörigkeit und ähnliches mehr. In diesem Lehrbuch geht es um eine anwendungsorientierte Einführung in die multivariate Analyse kategorialer Daten. Konkret werden vier Ansätze vorgestellt: die gewichtete Regression nach Grizzle, Starmer und Koch (GSK-Ansatz), die Klasse der log-linearen Modelle, die logistische Regression und die Analyse latenter Klassen.

Many economic and social surveys are designed as panel studies, which provide important data for describing social changes and testing causal relations between social phenomena. This textbook shows how to manage, describe, and model these kinds of data. It presents models for continuous and categorical dependent variables, focusing either on the level of these variables at different points in time or on their change over time. It covers fixed and random effects models, models for change scores and event history models. All statistical methods are explained in an application-centered style using research examples from scholarly journals, which can be replicated by the reader through data provided on the accompanying website. As all models are compared to each other, it provides valuable assistance with choosing the right model in applied research. The textbook is directed at master and doctoral students as well as applied researchers in the social sciences, psychology, business administration and economics. Readers should be familiar with linear regression and have a good understanding of ordinary least squares estimation.​

In der Kölner Zeitschrift für Soziologie und Sozialpsychologie (KZfSS) erschienen vom Zeitpunkt ihrer Gründung 1921 (damals unter dem  Namen Kölner Vierteljahrshefte für Sozialwissenschaften Reihe A: Soziologische Hefte) bis einschließlich 2015 in den regulären Heften insgesamt 2.350 Beiträge (ohne Rezensionen) aus allen Bereichen der Soziologie. Als erste deutsche Fachzeitschrift für Soziologie in Deutschland spiegelt die KZfSS in ihren Beiträgen zu einem erheblichen Maße somit nicht nur die an wechselnden thematischen Schwerpunkten orientierte Entwicklung der Soziologie in Deutschland wider, sondern ist auch selbst bereits zu einem Bestandteil der deutschen Soziologiegeschichte geworden.Die Herausgeber dieses Sonderheftes haben eine Auswahl von Aufsätzen getroffen, die primär eine Geschichte der Soziologie im Kontext der Veröffentlichungen der KZfSS nachzeichnen. Damit ist natürlich keineswegs der Anspruch verbunden, „die Geschichte der Soziologie“ widerzuspiegeln, sondernnur, dem Leser aufzuzeigen, wie sich auch in einer Zeitschrift wie der KZfSS „eine Geschichte der Soziologie“ niederschlägt.
