This article reviews the contributions of the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) to the study of intergenerational mobility. The PSID enables researchers to track individuals as they form new households and covers many dimensions of socioeconomic status over large portions of the life cycle, making the data ideal for studying intergenerational mobility. Studies have used PSID data to show that the United States is among the least economically mobile countries among advanced economies. The PSID has been instrumental to understanding various dimensions of intergenerational mobility, including occupation; wealth; education; consumption; health; and group differences by gender, race, and region. Studies using the PSID have also cast light on the mechanisms behind intergenerational persistence.

The extent to which college admissions test scores can forecast college grade point average (GPA) is often evaluated in predictive validity studies using regression analyses. A problem in college admissions processes is that we observe test scores for all the applicants; however, we cannot observe the GPA of applicants who were not selected. The standard solution to tackle this problem has relied upon strong assumptions to identify the exact value of the regression function in the presence of missing data.

We study the relationship between the Fridays for Future climate protest movement in Germany and citizen political behaviour. In 2019, crowds of young protesters, mostly under voting age, demanded immediate climate action. Exploiting cell-phone-based mobility data and hand-collected information on nearly 4,000 climate protests, we created a highly disaggregated measure of protest participation.

Background: Social isolation and loneliness are a growing public health concern. Inadequacies in neighbourhood social infrastructure can undermine social connectedness, particularly for youth, who are dependent on their local environments yet often marginalized from public spaces and city planning. Integrating citizen science with participatory action research, the Youth.

In addition to the usual slope and location parameters included in a regular two-parameter logistic model (2PL), the logistic positive exponent (LPE) model incorporates an item parameter that leads to asymmetric item characteristic curves, which have recently been shown to be useful in some contexts. Although this model has been used in some empirical studies, an identifiability analysis (i.e.

Unlabelled: We have constructed a comprehensive database that traces the publications of father-son pairs in the premodern academic realm and examined the contribution of inherited human capital versus nepotism to occupational persistence. We find that human capital was strongly transmitted from parents to children and that nepotism declined when the misallocation of talent across professions incurred greater social costs. Specifically, nepotism was less common in fields experiencing rapid changes in the knowledge frontier, such as the sciences and within Protestant institutions.
