Radical welfare reform is one of the hallmarks of the coalition government. In this event we aim to move beyond analysis of which families gain and which lose from these reforms and look at some of the other effects that the reforms might have.
In this paper, we use micro-simulation techniques to investigate whether financial work incentives will be stronger in 2015-16 than they were in 2010-11 and to separate out the impact of changes to taxes, benefit cuts and the introduction of universal credit from the impact of wider economic changes.
This paper analyses the career progression of skilled and unskilled workers with a focus on how careers are affected by economic downturns and whether formal skills, acquired early on, can shield workers from the effect of recessions.
This paper estimates the causal effects of family size on girls’ education in Mexico, exploiting prenatal son preference as a source of random variation in the propensity to have more children within an instrumental variables framework.
We highlight the importance of randomisation bias, a situation where the process of participation in a social experiment has been affected by randomisation per se.
In this paper, we use firm- and individual-level data to shed new light on these aggregate patterns and we examine changes in firm investment in physical capital and profitability.
This checklist has been compiled to allow you to make the most of the NPD to measure the impact of your programme on the lives of children and young people.
