This article uses longitudinal data from the National Child Development Study (NCDS) to investigate determinants of voter turnout in 1997 British general election. It introduces measures cognitive ability and personality into participation literature finds that they are significant turnout. also shows standard models may be biased by inclusion much used ‘interest politics’ measure. A bivariate probit model political interest individuals with high comprehension an aggressive more likely both...
Individuals who vote in one election are more likely to the next. Yet modelling causal relationship between past and current voting decisions is intrinsically difficult, as this positive association can exist due habit formation or unobserved heterogeneity. This article overcomes problem using longitudinal data from British National Child Development Study (NCDS) examine voter turnout across three elections. It distinguishes heterogeneity caused by fixed individual characteristics initial...

There is a considerable body of research arguing for an association between psychotic disorders and atypical brain lateralisation--where non-right-handedness usually taken as marker the latter. By contrast, there has been less attention given to possible link handedness affective (particularly major depression) and, unlike case psychosis, no priori reason such link. are very few studies relationship depression in normal populations. This paper uses new large population survey from 12...
Abstract This paper is concerned with the impact of unions on investment rate in British industry. On basis an analysis some 72 industries manufacturing sector, we find that, ceteris paribus, firms that recognize manual and have average level union density invest 23 per cent less than do not unions. However, once allow for effects wages productivity, this overall effect reduced to between 4 13 cent, depending degree competition product market.
Abstract This paper estimates the effects of handedness on earnings. Augmenting a conventional earnings equation with an indicator left-handedness shows there is positive effect male manual workers enjoying slightly larger premium. These results are inconsistent view that left-handers in general handicapped either innately or through experiencing world geared toward right-handers. Left-handed females however paid significantly less. The consistent range mostly psychological evidence, which...
Using a dataset that allows consistent cross-country comparisons the non-linearity in conventional earnings equation is tested with respect to schooling. The findings suggest assumption of linearity not robust and there are well-determined positive returns completion educational levels. However, inferences sensitive choice functional form.
A number of papers have investigated whether there is an association between handedness and alcohol consumption hypothesizing that alcoholism may be a consequence atypical cerebral lateralization or response to the stress involved in being minority right-handed world. Research date has mostly used small clinical samples, some without comparison group. This paper exams this issue using large population-based random sample.A multi-country data set nationally representative samples...
This article investigates whether the returns to education vary with level of cognitive ability. Unlike much literature, this finds that return schooling is lower for those higher ability indicating can act as a substitute observed Using quantile regressions we also find that, again unlike most are at quintiles conditional earnings distribution. suggests unobserved The policy implications increasing in general and particularly should reduce income inequality.
