For a change, something we made ourselves: Together with my colleagues Tobias Roth, Andreas Horr, and @nataliebackes.bsky.social, we examined ethnic rent penalties. Do migrants pay higher rents for comparable housing than natives with similar characteristics? direct.mit.edu/euso/article...

"Schildbürgerstreich, autokratisches Eingreifen", das Statistische Bundesamt steht wegen der Armutszahlen in der Kritik. Es veröffentlicht bestimmte Daten nicht mehr. Im August gab es deswegen einen Protestbrief von Leuten, die zu Armut forschen & arbeiten. www.deutschlandfunk.de/arm-sein-war... 1/5
Ein "autokratisches Eingreifen in den wissenschaftlichen Diskurs". Das ist ein Vorwurf gegen das Statistische Bundesamt, weil es etwas bei den Armutszahlen verändert hat. Seit August gibt es hier Diskussionen, Streit. Warum & was steckt dahinter- ab heute Abend www.deutschlandfunk.de/systemfragen...

🚨 Methodische Brüche im #Mikrozensus
Seit 2020 ist die Zahl gleichgeschlechtlicher Partnerschaften in den Daten stark gestiegen – allerdings nicht durch gesellschaftliche Veränderungen, sondern durch veränderte Erhebungsverfahren.
Falls Sie Fragen zu amtlichen Mikrodaten haben, insbesondere zum Mikrozensus und zum EU-LFS und EU-SILC, können Sie uns gerne eine E-Mail an gml@gesis.org schreiben
Abstract Since the redesign of the German Microcensus in 2020, it is no longer possible to reliably identify same-sex couples, and official statistics no longer report figures on their prevalence. The tool provided by GESIS for identifying same-sex couples in the Scientific Use Files of the Microcensus has also been discontinued for the time being. This report outlines the extent and causes of these identification issues. Using the Scientific Use Files of the German Microcensus, the prevalence of same-sex couples is estimated and compared over time and across the life course of (synthetic) cohorts. A clear break is observed in 2020, due to methodological changes in the collection and processing of data on sex. Hypothetical example calculations demonstrate that even minimal changes in data on sex can lead to a significant increase in the (small) number of same-sex couples. Methodological adjustments indicate that same-sex couples can be identified more reliably again from the 2024 Microcensus onwards. Keywords: Same-Sex Couples, Microcensus, Germany.
Here is a new, interesting @gesis.org paper by my team colleague Andrea Lengerer on the problem of identifying same-sex partnerships in the microcensus www.ssoar.info/ssoar/handle...
