261 - Policy and Research Workshop. Innovative Longitudinal Tools for International Research in the Social Sciences and Economics on Inequality Among Families and Individuals

Sun, August 17, 12:30 to 2:10pm, TBA

Session Submission Type: Invited Session

Abstract

Principal Investigators and representatives of five major large-scale ongoing longitudinal studies from Germany and the spokesman of the new Collaborative Research Unit 882 “From Heterogeneities to Inequalities” at Bielefeld University will present a new basis for innovative, cross-national, and interdisciplinary research.
Presentations of exemplary analytical work on research on economic inequality on families and individuals will offer stimulating new research perspectives and foster international cooperation and networking among workshop participants. The unique data infrastructure of these important studies provides the international user community with longitudinal panel data on important current societal issues such as aging, education, family formation, and perhaps most prominently, inequality. The Collaborative Research Unit 882 focuses on empirical research on inequality from a primarily micro perspective; a particular aim of the group’s work is to identify general mechanisms in the emergence of inequality and to organize these into a typology. The moderated panel discussion will explore synergies with similar studies and research projects in the United States, thereby fostering international collaboration among workshop participants and generating added value for the broader research community.

(This session is part of this year's 22nd Annual ASA Research Support Forum.)
