Administrative Data and Economic Policy Evaluation

Dearden, Lorraine

6.1 Research Management and Application of Research (general) ; 3.3 Quality in Quantitative Research ; 2.6 Use of Administrative Sources

This paper looks at the strengths and weaknesses of using administrative data for economic policy evaluation. It does this by looking at how school administrative data has been used to assess school effectiveness and the impact of month of birth on educational outcomes with varying degrees of success. It concludes that if there is some natural experiment in the way the education is delivered or an education initiative is introduced, then schools administrative data offers the ...

Missing ordinal covariates with informative selection

Miranda, Alfonso ; Rabe-Hesketh, Sophia

1.1 Frameworks for Research and Research Designs (general) ; 2.1 Data Collection (general) ; 4.2.1 Quantitative Approaches (general)

This paper considers the problem of parameter estimation in a model for a continuous response variable y when an important ordinal explanatory variable x is missing for a large proportion of the sample. Non-missingness of x, or sample selection, is correlated with the response variable and/or with the unobserved values the ordinal explanatory variable takes when missing. We suggest solving the endogenous selection, or 'not missing at random' (NMAR), problem by modelling the informative ...

Bringing Things to Life: Creative Entanglements in a World of Materials

Ingold, Tim

1.2 Epistemology

The creation of things, according to Aristotle, involves a bringing together of form (morphe) and matter (hyle). In the subsequent history of western thought, the hylomorphic model of creation has become ever more deeply embedded. Contemporary discussions in fields ranging from anthropology and archaeology to art history and material culture studies continue to reproduce its underlying assumptions. The aim of this paper is both to expose these assumptions and to replace the model ...

Locating where the action is: quantitative and qualitative lenses on families, schooling and structures of social inequality

Irwin, Sarah

4.3.3 Combining Qualitative and Quantitative Approaches

There has been a proliferation of interest in cultural processes amongst those seeking to explain the role of family life in the reproduction of class-related educational inequalities. Analysts of macro level quantitative and micro level qualitative evidence share an interest in internal family dynamics and resources, yet they generate very different pictures of family level processes, and their articulation with broader structures of social inequality. This article critically ...
