Workshop on Neighbourhood Effects

Empirical analyses and datasets on a small regional scale

Research question: How does the neighbourhood influence the decision making of individuals and how do individuals sort themselves into neighbourhoods?

The workshop concludes the project “Neighbourhood effects: Analysis of individual rational behaviour in a social context”. The project consortium consists of RWI, the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW Berlin), the Institute for Employment Research (IAB) and the University of Melbourne.

The aim of the project is to geo-reference existing micro-level data sets, e.g. SOEP or IEB, and to enrich them with information at a highly disaggregate regional level. This allows for econometric analyses of the social context on individual behaviour, such as unemployment benefit recipiency, exit from unemployment, or youth education and health.
