This article gives results specifically related to the last principal component.

"This paper shows that a fusion of qualitative and quantitative methods in social research must not only consist of counting words in qualitative documents, exemplifying statistics by case studies, generating hypotheses by qualitative exploration studies or the like. Beyond that, typological...

"By arranging the Microcensus (the German Labour Force Survey) as a set of panel data it is possible to carry out longitudinal analyses. As participation in the survey is obligatory by law, the cases of non-response are minimal. For that reason the number of cases available is comparably high,...

"Five years after a business start-up, it becomes increasingly difficult to obtain information on the destination of people who set up businesses with the aid of the bridging allowance. At an earlier stage of the project - after an average of three years of self-employment - it was still...

"When evaluating a pilot or demonstration program, there are risks from drawing inferences from a single test. This paper reviews the experiences of replication efforts from demonstrations using randomized controlled trials in the initial evaluation and the replications. Although replications of...

"This paper illustrates the effects of item-nonresponse in surveys on the results of multivariate statistical analysis when estimation of productivity is the task. To multiply impute the missing data a data augmentation algorithm based on a normal/Wishart model is applied. Data of the German IAB...

"Linking data from different sources can be used to compensate for the weaknesses characteristic for the single sources and therefore significantly increase the potential for analyses. This requires that linking data implies no consequences that cancel out the advantages. Considering this...

"Die Aufdeckung komplexer Zusammenhänge zwischen verschiedenen Merkmalen aus dem sozialwissenschaftlichen Forschungsbereich erfordert ein statistisches Analyseverfahren, das nicht nur die Vielzahl der erklärenden Merkmale (Datenvielfalt), sondern auch den Einfluß berücksichtigt, der von der...
