It demonstrates strong correlations between keyword searches and unemployment rates monthly German exhibits a potential the used. JEL Classification: C22, C82, E17, E24, E37
Abstract. A large number of different Pseudo‐ R 2 measures for some common limited dependent variable models are surveyed. Measures include those based solely on the maximized likelihoods with and without restriction that slope coefficients zero, which require further calculations parameter estimates variances whether qualitative predictions model correct or not. The theme survey is while there no obvious criterion choosing to use, if estimation in context an underlying latent model, a case...
Young people have been among those most affected by the recent financial crisis. Vocational education and training (VET) is often viewed as silver bullet for youth joblessness problem. In this article, authors provide a better understanding of VET in industrialized countries, proposing typology with three types vocational systems: 1) technical schools, 2) formal apprenticeships, 3) dual apprenticeship systems that combine school firm-based approach. They first describe strengths challenges...

A positive wage-firm size relationship is well documented in the empirical literature industrial organization and labor economics. Firm seems to proxy various unobserved determinants such as job satisfaction, monitoring costs, more complex technologies worker participation monopoly profits. It generally argued that, greater possibility of controlling for these latent factors, less likely that a significant effect will appear. This paper attempts distinguish firm from other wage rich data...

Immigrants are much less likely to own their homes than natives, even after controlling for a broad range of life-cycle and socioeconomic characteristics housing market conditions. This paper extends the analysis immigrant tenure choice by explicitly accounting ethnic identity as potential influence on homeowner-ship decision, using two-dimensional composite index that incorporates attachments both origin host cultures. In case Germany, evidence suggests immigrants with stronger commitment...
Originating in China, the coronavirus has reached world at different speeds and levels of strength. This paper provides an initial understanding some driving factors their consequences. Since transmission requires people, human factor behind globalisation is essential. Globalisation, a major force global well-being equality, highly associated with this factor. The analysis investigates impact on speed to country scale infections context other factors. Our cross-country finds that measures...
More democratic countries are often expected to fail at providing a fast, strong, and effective response when facing crisis such as COVID-19. This could result in higher infections more negative health effects, but hard evidence prove this claim is missing for the new disease. Studying association with five different democracy measures, study shows that while infection rates of disease do indeed appear be so far, their observed case fatality lower. There also between government attempts...
