Department Name: Inst for Social and Economic Research
Abstract
Changes to our society are being driven by both long-term social and economic trends, and the impacts of recession and austerity. Five social trends drive the new research programme of the Research Centre on Micro-Social Change (MiSoC): i) new features of the job market that are changing the fortunes of different groups of people; ii) changing family set-up and relationships; iii) reform of and cut-backs in the provision of housing, education, health, and benefits; iv) breaking down of social and political beliefs, and increasing ethnic and religious diversity; v) changes in our values to be more accepting of personal freedom and more tolerant of inequality. Of course, modern societies are always changing, but the next decade poses new challenges. Recession, austerity and the patchy nature of the recovery mean things looks bleak for many. Ties between family, friends and neighbours, weakening as the UK grew richer and as individuals became more mobile, have been put under further stress by hard times.
Our new research programme aims to point to ways in which society can continue to integrate people with diverse backgrounds, preferences and abilities. The research will be led by a team of experts at the Institute for Social and Economic Research (ISER) at the University of Essex, with collaborators across the UK and in other countries, and will be directed jointly by Mike Brewer, Professor of Economics and David Voas, Professor of Population Studies. Our work covers three main areas:
The first area examines how individuals and families are affected by and react to changes in their life circumstances, including shocks to their health, disability, income and living arrangements. Our researchers will pay special attention to the way that new welfare systems, such as changes to benefits, protect households. We will be making a major contribution to important debates on poverty by advancing new ways of measuring poverty, and with new evidence on the dynamics of poverty.
The second investigates how new members of society - children, young people and new migrants -develop and are integrated into it. We will analyse how parents, school, peers and society interact to influence the development of children's mental, social and physical skills, and the long-term consequences of childhood disadvantage. We will also look at how some people get more out of gaining a university degree than others. We will provide new evidence on the integration of ethnic minorities, and how this varies across individuals. We will look at the experience of new migrants, and how characteristics and behaviours are passed between generations in migrant families.
The third area of research investigates how values, attitudes, expectations, tastes or preferences and identity are formed, and how they are linked to our education, employment and family set-up. A better understanding of this will help policy-makers come up with the best policies to help more people live successful, happy lives.
How we research the important issues facing society today is just as important as the research itself, so our integrated programme of methodological work will help researchers to better examine the impact of specific policies, and to advise on new ways to handle the sometimes incomplete information which comes from survey data they are using in their research.
We expect this programme of research to benefit a wide range of organisations involved in policy debates, policy design and practice, in a range of domains, located in the UK and other countries, and provide evidence informing key policy choices, such as the balance between intervening late or early in children's lives, the role of family and wider society in an individual's development, the choice between universal or targeted support or safety nets for the vulnerable, and the relative roles of values, expectations and preferences versus structure in determining how we act.

Planned Impact
The aim of MiSoC's research programme is to examine how society as a collective enterprise can be maintained under new pressures and social changes. As government departments focus their research and analysis on specific, instrumental, pieces of work, MiSoC has an important role in wider debates about policy choices: we will provide new evidence informing key policy choices such as the balance between intervening late or early in children's lives, the relationship between investments made by society and the family in determining the development of individual capabilities, the choice between universal or targeted support, and the relative roles of values, expectations and preferences versus social structure in determining behaviour.
Strand I will benefit users involved in making or analysing policy on economic inequalities, health inequalities, the design of the welfare state, employment and welfare-to-work policy, poverty dynamics, saving for retirement, labour supply and economic performance, and support for disabled people, and private sector and not-for-profit organisations involved in welfare-to-work programmes, training, the provision of social care, and private sector insurance companies.
Strand II will provide evidence on the relative role in the development of children played by parents, siblings and peers, and state institutions, useful to policy-makers and practitioners in the area of education, parenting, children and youth services and the transmission of social advantage. Analysis of integration amongst minorities will inform policy-makers interested in equalities and social cohesion. Evidence on the longitudinal experience of new migrants, and the way behaviours are passed between generations, will benefit those setting policy relating to migration, those debating the causes and consequences of migration, and practitioners working with migrant families.
Strand III, understanding how values, attitudes, tastes, expectations and identity are formed and their role in motivating decisions, will be of use to those devising policy or designing interventions in any of the substantive areas that we examine.
Specifically, our research will be of benefit to the following types of users:
i. Organisations in local, central and the devolved UK governments including: local education departments and health boards; the departments for Work and Pensions, Health, Education, Business, Innovation and Skills, Communities and Local Government, the Home Office, the Cabinet Office (including the Behavioural Insights unit), the GEO; their counterparts in the devolved nations
ii. Government executive agencies, non-departmental public bodies, parliamentary select committees and quangos (e.g. HESA, EHRC, LPC)
iii. Foreign governments, international organisations and DfID (through our evaluation work in developing countries, our comparative work, chiefly within the EU, and where UK research leads to transferable findings)
iv. Independent research foundations (the Nuffield Foundation, the Sutton Trust, and the Joseph Rowntree Foundation)
v. Other organisations which engage in public policy debates, such as think-tanks , other charitable bodies (e.g. Age UK, Gingerbread, Families and Daycare Trust, Runnymede Trust) and political parties
vi. Commercial organisations and third sector organisations involved in providing services relevant to our research, such as those providing pension and insurance products, actuaries, childcare, education, social care services, and employment agencies
vii. The public, as an audience of research findings and through resulting improvements in policy and practice
Our research will also benefit academics, and researchers and analysts outside of academia; we describe how in Academic Beneficiaries.

| Title | What your brain can do (control) |
| Description | This 10-minute video was the control video that respondents randomly assigned into control viewed. Like the treatment video, it was entitled "What your brain can do", featured the same three talking heads; Steffan Kennett and Nick Cooper (Psychology, Essex) and Wandi Briune de Bruin (Psychology, Leeds); had the same visual style, and lasted 10 minutes. Unlike the treatment video, it focused on the specialities of different regions of the brain, with evidence from studies showing the implications of damage to these regions. It contained no study tips, only information about which parts of the brain are being used when undertaking certain activities. |

| Title | What your brain can do (treatment) |
| Description | This 10-minute video presents the following information: People's brains adapt and grow in response to learning opportunities. Example given from a study showing the size of key parts of the brain increased following language training. ? Structure of the brain, neurons, dendrites and synapses. New imaging techniques show that the structure of a neuron is not fixed, and new dendritic spines can grow quickly. ? This teaches us that we should think of the brain as a muscle: It grows with exercise. The more you challenge your brain to learn, retain and retrieve new information, the more dendritic spines you physically grow, the more you revisit the new connections you make, and the longer they will stay. ? Example: Study in which training one area of the brain using a computer game leads to improvements in other cognitive domains, that persisted for over one year. ? Mistakes and challenges are really important for learning. When you are finding something difficult, it is not that you are reaching the limits of your ability, but an opportunity to train your brain to get stronger in that area by creating new neurons or new connections. ? Example: brain activity highest after a mistake, but this is only true for those who believed that ability can grow. If you belief your ability is not fixed, you can learn from your mistakes. ? A poor mark does not mean you have low ability. You can train your brain to grow. ? This means the most effective kind of study is where you challenge yourself, giving four study tips: o Testing. [Expand on this after: Writing notes, using flashcards, completing past papers, or using textbook questions. This is a form of active learning. More passive methods are only good for encoding information in memory the first time] o Spacing. [Study time on a particular topic is better distributed among several sessions. It last longer and more brain connections get formed. Material reviewed several times stays in the memory much longer. Cramming might feel effective but doesn't give the brain the opportunity to store information in long term memory] o Attending lectures and classes. [Especially complemented with note-taking and reading assignments]. o Avoiding bad situations. [Stress and lack of sleep inhibits formation of new brain cells and encoding of new information. Distractions like music or checking one's phone consume part of working memory so prevent encoding of information. Exercise improves blood flow to the brain] |

| Impact | This video was presented to half of the students enrolled in the BOOST cohort. Those assigned to the video perform about 1.4 marks out of 100 better than those assigned to a control video, and this rises to 1.8 marks for Home students. Both of these coefficients are significant at the 10% level. They are are 2.4 percentage points more likely to get a first class mark on a given module, and 3.8 percentage points more likely to get at least a 2:1, other things equal. |
| Description | Strand I. Vulnerability, social insurance, and the dynamics of family finances, employment and health Convenor: Mike Brewer; Deputy: Steve Pudney. Researchers: Silvia Avram, Michaela Benzeval, Sonia Bhalotra, Cara Booker, Malcolm Brynin, Mark Bryan, Amy Clair, Thomas Crossley, Ruth Hancock, Stephen Jenkins, Man Yee Kan, Ricky Kanabar, Heather Laurie, Simonetta Longhi, Alita Nandi, Cheti Nicoletti, Alari Paulus, Andrea Salvatori, Bernhard Schmidpeter. Overall aims: Longer-term trends reshaping the distribution of earnings and job opportunities have combined with the weak economy since 2008 to create a challenging labour market for some. We evaluate the resulting increases in gender, ethnic and socio-economic inequalities, and investigate how the post- austerity welfare state protects households from adverse shocks to earnings, employment, family circumstances and health; one focus is the relationship between income and health. Here, we give an overview of our key contributions and findings. I.1. New dynamics in the labour market MiSoC work (by Brynin, Kan, Laurie, Longhi and Nandi) provided new evidence on gender and ethnic gaps in the labour market, including two key reports commissioned by the EHRC which informed the EHRC's new strategy in 2017 on ethnic and gender pay gaps. In ongoing work, Bhalotra structurally estimates an equilibrium model of the labour market in which the elasticity of substitution between male and female labour is allowed to vary depending on the task content of occupations; the findings help explain the narrowing of the gender wage gap at the upper end of the wage distribution and an increase at the low end. MiSoC's work has stressed the role of the family as the context where labour market decisions are taken. Bryan and Longhi studied how couples make choices over working patterns, the role of flexible working patterns, and also how spouses react to a partner's job loss. Brewer and Rabe studied how free childcare affected mothers' and fathers' labour supply behaviour, finding that mothers do work more when their youngest child begins full-time school. MiSoC work on the labour market includes a re-assessment of how well the polarization theory is relevant to the UK, including its link to the task content of jobs and to globalisation (Etheridge, Salvatori, Schmidpeter); investigation into how welfare reforms affect lone parent employment and labour market progression (Brewer); and new methods for measuring workers' experience of labour market volatility (Jenkins). We also re-examined the scarring impact of unemployment (Tumino); assessed the pay-off to interim jobs after a worker has been laid off (Schmidpeter); and looked at pay progression for minimum wage workers in the UK (Avram). I.2 Dynamics of income and poverty, and inequalities in individual and family living standards Work by Jenkins has sought to reconcile estimates of top income from household surveys and administrative data. This has given new insights into trends in top income shares in the UK since the 2000s, and led the ONS to implement a new method in their key estimate of UK income inequality. Work by Brewer and (separately) Paulus has investigated the reliability of survey-based measures of income at the bottom of the distribution, and in the presence of tax evasion. Avram and Brewer used the methods developed in Jenkins' work on labour market volatility to examine volatility in different concepts of individual and household income; they find clear evidence that austerity policies have reduced the extent that the UK's welfare system dampens down volatility in household incomes. MiSoC's work has used decomposition and microsimulation methods to better understand trends in inequality and poverty in individual countries (UK, Greece, Turkey, Mexico) and in comparative pan-EU work (Brewer, Jenkins, Paulus). Related work has assessed prospects for income inequality and fiscal aggregates given broad demographic pressures across the EU. Etheridge investigated the role that house price shocks play in determining consumption inequality. EUROMOD, the EU tax-benefit microsimulation model developed and managed by ISER researchers is now being used to predict the income distribution of the current year, giving policy-makers "real-time" estimates of poverty some 2-3 years before actual micro-data become available. Much of the work in this strand informed Brewer's book, "What do we know and what should we do about inequality?", published in 2019 at the end of the research programme. This brought together the latest evidence on economic inequalities in the UK, as assessed by earnings, disposable incomes, top income shares, and wealth. I.3 Welfare reforms, insurance and vulnerability MiSoC researchers have used tax and benefit microsimulation techniques to assess the impact of actual or hypothetical tax reforms, and to assess ex post the contribution of policy changes to changes in inequality of poverty. This includes work on Universal Credit (Brewer), with a number of collaborations with the Resolution Foundation; an assessment of how austerity policies affected the income distribution in the UK and across the EU (Paulus); a paper on how well EU tax and welfare systems protect mothers from divorce or income loss upon childbirth (Popova); and detailed analysis of how the proposals made by the late Tony Atkinson would affect inequality and poverty in the UK. MiSoC researchers also contributed to methodological work on tax and benefit microsimulation or distributional analysis, including how to undertake gender assessments (Avram); how best to identify those with disabilities in household surveys (Hancock and Pudney), and how a lifecycle perspective changes our view of the impact of the tax and benefit system on financial work incentives (Brewer), as well as contributing key chapters to the "Handbook of Income Distribution" and the new "Handbook of Microsimulation". Work on other aspects of welfare reforms in the UK included an assessment of who bore the incidence of cuts to Local Housing Allowance (Brewer); and one of the first detailed analyses of the circumstances of food bank users (Clair). Working with the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, MiSoC researchers made recommendations for how the tax system should be used in an anti-poverty strategy (Brewer); and on what an anti-poverty social security strategy for individuals with disabilities would look like (Hancock and Pudney). Two projects looked at the impact of aspects of the welfare state and health: Crossley produced estimates of how much Winter Fuel Payments contribute to better health amongst recipients, and Clair looked at the complex links between housing circumstances and health, finding that tenure and building type were statistically significantly associated with levels of C-reactive protein (a marker associated with stress and inflammation). I.4 Income dynamics and health Here, MiSoC's health researchers have used various longitudinal analysis methods to assess inequalities in health over the lifecourse. One paper examined whether adverse circumstances early in the life course cumulate as health-harming biographical patterns across the prime working and family caregiving years (Booker); another looked at the links between adiposity and mental health (Benzeval). Related work seeks to understand better socioeconomic inequalities in health, with a view to understanding better inequalities in aging and the long-run impacts of events in working life (Barban, Benzeval). Methodological work focused on the relationship between information provided by biomarkers relative to self-reported health status, and on how best to measure income gradients in children's mental health (Pudney). Co-funded by the RCUK and the British Academy, Bhalotra has analysed the impact of health shocks on earnings in Brazil using longitudinal data and estimating the size of the impact of dengue outbreaks on earnings and inequality. She found the largest impact is on women working in the informal sector. In ongoing research she is investigating the extent to which the opening of primary health care centres mitigates these impacts. Strand II. New members of society: the formation of capabilities in children and young adults, and social mobility and integration amongst immigrants Convenor: Emilia Del Bono; Deputy: Sonia Bhalotra. Researchers: Cara Booker, Adeline Delavande, Angus Holford, Cheti Nicoletti, Matthias Parey, Birgitta Rabe Overall aims: This strand investigates how new members of society - children, youth and the newly arrived - are integrated into it, and how their development is affected by parents, specific interventions and society. We examine the relative role in the development of children played by parents, siblings and peers, and state institutions. We study the returns to higher education (HE), providing a better understanding of how HE contributes to social, gender and ethnic inequalities. We explore integration amongst ethnic minorities, and how this evolves over the lifecycle and varies geographically, and we examine the experience of new migrants and how socio-economic characteristics and behaviours are passed between generations. Here, we give an overview of our key contributions and findings. II.1. Interaction between private and public investments in children. MiSoC researchers investigated the impact of the UK government's policy of providing free pre-school education on children's outcomes, and found little or no impact of children's development, perhaps because the policy expanded access to the private childcare sector, rather than to the higher quality state-run facilities (Del Bono, Rabe). Further work on the UK includes projects on the 'production' of human capital: Nicoletti and Rabe estimated the impact of additional spending on schools on children's educational outcomes; Del Bono looked at the long-run impacts of attending selective schools; Nicoletti and Del Bono looked at the cognitive and non-cognitive development of children in the UK focusing on parental investments and own investments, respectively. Holford assessed how parents and children interact over teenagers' finances, finding that parents reduce their own financial support when teenagers have paid employment. Ongoing work (Rabe) is assessing how parents respond to unexpected news provided by Ofsted about the quality of their children's school. II.2 Sibling and peer influences on children's development and outcomes MiSoC's work has pursued research designs that can give us credible causal impacts of the impact of siblings on test scores (Nicoletti, Rabe) and the impact of peers on other behaviours at school (Holford); other work has assessed how mothers' decision to return to work is affected by peers (Nicoletti). Various MiSoC research has also examined the determinants of wellbeing for teenagers and young adults. One project looked at the impact of smoking, alcohol, consumption of fruit, vegetables and junk food, and sports participation on adolescent happiness and socio-emotional difficulties (Booker). The second project focused on screen-based media, sport participation and wellbeing among the same population, and this led to further longitudinal investigation on the relationship between chatting on social media and wellbeing (Booker). This work, in collaboration with ICLS, provided some of the earliest UK evidence on screen time and social media use, and this has been presented regularly to policy-makers and parliamentarians. Related work has examined the importance of housing (Clair) and income (Knies) for child wellbeing. II.3 Childhood circumstances, resilience, and adult outcomes This sub-strand is largely concerned with the long- and very long-run impacts of interventions in childhood or childhood circumstances. Much of the evidence comes from outside the UK, exploiting unique data resources and policy interventions, including interventions to provide clean water (in Mexico), antibiotics (in the US in the early 20th century) and health support to newborns and their mothers (in Sweden in the early 20th century), reforms which dramatically altered the probability that children will survive into adulthood. Research by Bhalotra demonstrates the impacts on survival and then traces the trajectory that children exposed to these reforms follow, finding impacts on their cognitive attainment, education, employment and earnings. Bhalotra was also part of a major international consortium that was investigating how to treat mental health problems amongst pregnant women (in rural Pakistan). In follow-up work, the consortium was able to estimate the causal impact of mental health problems on later outcomes for the mother and the child. Other papers (by Bhalotra) focus on fertility and its link with subsequent outcomes. A third line of work of Bhalotra consisting of four papers investigates implications of son preference in India, studying impacts of world gold prices on dowry, technological innovations in prenatal sex detection technology, a reform equalizing inheritance rights for women, and the role of property rights on land, in each case analysing parental responses. In related work in this strand, MiSoC researcher Holford has used the rich data in the LSYPE to identify the effect of part-time employment by schoolchildren on educational attainment and their labour market outcomes as adults. II.4. Inequalities in Higher Education outcomes This sub-strand is concerned with the variation in the economic and non-economic returns to HE, exploring the role of social networks in enhancing employability. MiSoC's work has benefited from Delavande, Del Bono and Holford's work on the BOOST2018 project, a major project whose overarching goal is to understand the role of subjective expectations, preferences, skills and access to information in the processes generating socio-economic inequalities in higher education outcomes in the UK. Our work on expectations (see also Strand III) in this sub-strand has shown how young people's attitudes to university is affected by their beliefs about how well it pays (Delavande). We have explored the link between the business cycle and HE, looking both at how attitudes and expectations about HE change amongst children and young adults (Taylor), and on how the impact of graduating into a recession varies by the characteristics of the graduate (Del Bono with PhD student Morando). We have studied how gender gaps develop through university and during graduates' early labour market experience (Parey). We have used the HESA Destination of Leavers Survey to explore the experience of and the return to unpaid internships (Holford), and the role of unpaid work and personal connections in accessing STEM professions (Holford). Related work has shown how, and explained why, the returns to education seem to be lower for ethnic minorities (Longhi with PhD student Zwysen), and explored the idea of over-qualification, and what impact this has on the demand for HE (Brynin). II.5 Social mobility and integration amongst immigrants Immigration and the integration of the foreign-born and their descendants has become an increasingly charged topic in the UK. MiSoC researchers Luthra and Platt bring new evidence to this topic from a variety of angles. The first is to draw attention to diversity among immigrant groups commonly treated as homogeneous by policy makers and academics. Drawing from an original dataset on new Polish and Pakistani immigrants in London collected in 2011/2012, Luthra, Platt and co-authors have generated a new migrant typology linked to migration motivations of free movement Polish migrants during recession (2016). A second paper demonstrated heterogeneity in the characteristics and early labour market and sociocultural outcomes underlying a group considered as uniformly high-skilled and positively selected: student migrants. A second strand examines the causes and consequences of ethnic and racial harassment. MiSoC's Nandi and Luthra showed that this form of disadvantage is distinct from many others, with reports of harassment highest among the more highly educated, among men, and among those who participate more broadly in society. To explain this, Nandi and Luthra frame the risk of reporting ethnic and racial harassment in a novel way, as a characteristic associated with exposure deriving from time spent in public space and having the personal expectations of treatment and social confidence to identify harassment behaviours to survey interviewers and police. Other work shows that UK-born ethnic minorities have higher rates of ethnic and racial harassment, worse mental health, and worse health behaviours, on average, than the foreign-born, despite being economically better off, and that ethnic minorities who experience the lowest levels of residential segregation are also those who suffer the highest probabilities of ethnic and racial harassment. Strand III: Values, preferences and expectations Convenor: David Voas; Deputy: Adeline Delavande. Researchers: Sule Alan, Sonia Bhalotra, Mark Bryan, Elif Kubilay, Alita Nandi, Cheti Nicoletti. Overall aims: This strand studies values, preferences, attitudes, expectations or beliefs about future states of affairs, and identity. Values and the associated attributes are not just outcomes of social change but important influences on it: for example, the integration of new members of society (Strand II) and the forms of collective support available (Strand I) are crucially affected by what people want, believe, and think is right. Furthermore, where attitudes moderate the effects of economic incentives, our work will point to areas where policy levers can be most effective. This strand seeks to understand how these determinants of behaviour are formed and modified, and their relative role in motivating decisions across a number of domains (e.g. education, employment and family formation). Here, we give an overview of our key contributions and findings. III.1 Formation of expectations, preferences and values in childhood A number of papers followed from MiSoC researcher Alan's role in a series of interventions in primary schools in Istanbul, Turkey (with the interventions, field experiments and surveys funded through other sources). MiSoC funding led to several important papers on how attitudes and non-cognitive skills can be measured, and how they can be influenced. For example, Alan shows that "grit", a non-cognitive skill that has been shown to be highly predictive of achievement, is malleable in the childhood period and can be fostered in the classroom environment, with a classroom intervention leading treated students to score 0.28 standard deviations higher in a standardised math test, and 0.13 standard deviations higher in a standardised Turkish test at follow-up; it also reduces gender gaps. Other papers studied children's level of patience, and how it can be affected by interventions; "social confidence", and how the decline in this as girls age can explain their reluctance to enter positions that demand leadership skills; a final paper showed that children who hold optimistic beliefs that success can come from increased effort (and not just innate ability) also have a reduced sympathy towards those had a chance to be successful but failed. III.2 Subjective expectations and decision-making under uncertainty Many decisions are made under uncertainty, and individuals are likely to form subjective beliefs (expectations) about the probabilities of events that are relevant for their decisions. In the expected utility framework, choices depend on both preferences and these expectations; if researchers only observe the final outcomes, then there is a basic identification problem when making inferences about the decision-making process, as many combinations of preferences and expectations can lead to the same observed choice. One possibility to mitigate this identification problem is to ask decision-makers directly about their subjective expectations. MiSoC's Delavande has made important methodological developments on how best to ask about expectations in developing countries, and applied these to a range of substantive issues. For example, we implemented new methods for measuring individuals' expectations about the impact of HIV on survival, own and partners' HIV status and the risk of transmission to study risky sexual behaviour in Malawi. Analysis of the accuracy of these expectations showed that information policies could reduce risky sexual behaviour if focused on mortality risks, but not if focused on transmission risk. As a follow-up of this paper, a randomized controlled trial in which individuals are provided information on mortality risk is currently being rolled out in Malawi. Another important substantive application has been related to educational choice. By collecting data on expectations on the return to a degree from youth in Pakistan, Delavande evaluated the role of future earnings, non-pecuniary outcomes and financial constraints in the choice of a university (between religious seminaries, Islamic universities or liberal universities). They find that future earnings and employment prospects play a small (but statistically significant) role. However, non-pecuniary outcomes, such as the school's ideology, are the major determinants. Delavande also collaborated with Bhalotra to field unique questions on expected returns and expected costs of mother's investments in children in the first few months of life. In work in progress, including MiSoC PhD student Font Gilabert, they find that parental investments in children are conditioned by both expected returns and costs, while there is limited heterogeneity in preferences. III.3 Understanding changes in values, attitudes and behaviour The secularisation thesis - the idea that modernisation causes problems for religion - has been a key topic in the study of social change, and MiSoC's Voas has been very active in this field. A major study on religious decline in the United States challenged the long-held view that the United States is a counterexample to the theory that modernisation is associated with secularisation. In a forthcoming paper, Voas points out that while there is still no consensus on why secularisation occurs, we have made substantial progress in understanding the mechanisms of religious decline. Voas' focus on proximate rather than ultimate causes - on how religion loses influence rather than why it does so - has turned out to be an important contribution. Voas has been active in the study of value change more broadly, leading the British part of the European Values Study, and serving as co-investigator on the forthcoming World Values Survey in Great Britain. MiSoC researcher Bhalotra has a programme of research on the substantive impacts of diversifying political representation, with a focus on women and religious minorities. It is set in India, but, as there is limited causal evidence for OECD countries or other low income countries, it is of wider interest. The common theme running through the programme is that political/legislator identity influences public policy decisions. She finds that women legislators are more likely to provide public health than male legislators, holding constant voter preferences and other legislator characteristics. A second paper shows that quotas for women in Parliament can generate maternal mortality decline at essentially no cost and more rapidly than the WHO's default interventions. And a final paper on women and growth shows that a quasi-experimental "replacing" of a man with a woman in the state legislature leads to higher economic activity at the constituency level. Work in progress shows that increasing the political power of minorities lowers civil conflict, a result that we argue is of huge external interest. A third shows that sex-selective abortion (female foeticide), a growing phenomenon in India, is better controlled by Muslim legislators, consistent with Muslims having a stronger religious abhorrence of abortion. The fourth is based on a lab-in-field experiment that examines leadership identity in a coordination game. Coordination is a vital component of social capital and an effective functioning society. Leaders help to improve coordination but are often constrained in heterogeneous groups by citizen preferences for leaders from their own social group. We investigate the effectiveness of different policies in improving the coordination of leaders of different identities (and with different histories of civil conflict). Cross-Strand work: Advancing Statistical Methods Convenor: Paul Clarke. Researchers: Yanchun Bao, Sonia Bhalotra, Mike Brewer, Mark Bryan, Thomas Crossley, Stephen Jenkins Overall aims: Underpinning MiSoC's substantive strands is an integrated programme of novel methodological work that aims to provide the most robust evidence possible. Here, we give an overview of our key contributions and findings, noting that this work is in addition to the methodological advances made in the course of MiSoC's substantive work, including issues to do with measurement (including that of: top incomes, disability status, non-cognitive skills, and subjective expectations), and statistical methods (including in assessing the value-add effects of schools, estimating peer effects, and in dealing with data on individuals' subjective expectations), discussed elsewhere. MiSoC researchers Clarke and Bao have made a number of contributions to the analysis of panel data. They have produced a detailed comparison of the strengths and weaknesses of four different techniques from the social science (multilevel simultaneous equations models), economics (dynamic panel models) and biostatistics (marginal structural and structural mean models) literature. The last of these, structural mean models, are more robust to statistical assumptions than existing approaches but had not been developed for panel data or the initial conditions problem. We used these models to look at the causal effect of changes in employment status on mental health, taking account of reverse causation and confounding (observed and unobserved). Their focus on employment status changes involved the development of new theory but they showed that, while these models work well, robustness comes at the price of needing instrumental variables to handle unobserved confounding, but this can be done using the generalised method of moments. Finally, they set out the use of instrumental variables for the decomposition of causal effects into direct and indirect effects through mediated pathways: results regarding the identification, interpretation and estimation of these models were set out. Clarke was also involved with developing novel longitudinal methodology in collaborations with researchers outside of MiSoC. First, for two-level multilevel modelling of panel data on individuals within households when people move house; this developed into a general procedure for modelling time-varying associations between actors in social networks. Second, for longitudinal data where outcomes are measured less frequently than the predictor variables, by establishing the implicit measurement-model assumptions made by existing methods and relaxing these using multilevel models with 'random coefficients'. MiSoC's Brewer and Crossley add to the debate about how to conduct inference properly in difference-in-difference designs with grouped data by arguing that a more important problem is a low power to detect real effects. But they show that feasible GLS estimation combined with robust inference can increase power considerably whilst maintaining correct test size, even with few groups. In an application of this, they also show that many of the pre-2012 studies of the employment effects of the UK's national minimum wage had insufficient power to rule out large employment responses. The occurrence of twin births is widely regarded as occurring randomly across women and, under this premise, economists have used it to identify causal effects of fertility on parental investments in children and on women's labour supply. Using data from 72 developed and developing countries, we demonstrate that twin births are not random (Bhalotra). We show that - in contrast to the conclusions of recent high profile research- there are trade-offs between fertility and child quality, and so similarly there will be a trade-off between fertility and women's labour supply. We provide four examples of scientific excellence from the 2014-19 programme Childhood investments and maternal mental health. There is a vast literature on inter-generational mobility, most of which is descriptive, indicating the extent to which children's life chances are determined by their parentage. Research in MiSoC has leveraged recent developments in understanding the production of human and health capital to conduct more causal analysis that is more clearly informative of what policy interventions can do to improve children's life chances. Working with an international and multi-disciplinary team of researchers, in a series of papers published in 2015, 2016, 2018, 2020, Bhalotra has produced new evidence of causal impacts of maternal depression in the prenatal period on future outcomes of parents and children. In Baranov et al. (2020, AER), they show that treating maternal depression leads to an increase in women's control over household income and to an increase in the time and monetary investments that children receive. They find some evidence of an increase in parenting skills but no discernible impact on the cognitive and social skills of children. These studies use longitudinal cohort data- primary data gathered by the authors in rural Pakistan to follow up on what is now the largest randomized control trial of a cognitive behavioural therapy intervention. This study attracted substantial co-funding of about 4 million USD from the American National Institute of Health. This complements research using longitudinal life course data from Sweden to identify the long-run economic and health impacts of infant health programmes (Bhalotra et al. 2017, JEEA). This work led to Bhalotra being invited to give a keynote lecture at a National Policy conference in Sweden on Child Health, which is now on video on the Rikshandboken website, a National Board of Health and Welfare site providing guidance to practitioners. Immigration and ethnic inequality. Immigration and the integration of the foreign born and their descendants has become an increasingly charged topic across western democracies in the past decade, yet policy-makers and the public have only recently become aware of increasing socioeconomic diversity among both foreign born and native born "minorities" and the consequences of these for integration and intergenerational mobility. Research by MiSoC's Renee Luthra and her co-authors has brought attention to this diversity. Combining specialised metropolitan level datasets on the descendants of immigrants in New York and Los Angeles, Luthra, Soehl and Waldinger's (2018) book develops a new international framework for understanding diversity among the children of immigrants in the US, demonstrating how heterogeneity in values in the country of origin, together with characteristics of the co-ethnic community in the destination city, combine to influence educational, labour market, social and political outcomes. Positive reviews of the book by four eminent scholars are featured in a dedicated symposium in Ethnic and Racial Studies, with applications of the framework appearing and forthcoming in leading journals (for instance Soehl et al. 2019). Measurement and analysis of decision-making under uncertainty. Eliciting individuals' own subjective expectations (or beliefs) from survey respondents is critical to analysing decision-making under uncertainty in domains such as human capital investments, labour supply, household formation and health behaviours. MiSoC's Adeline Delavande has been instrumental in pushing forward the agenda of asking decision-makers directly about their subjective expectations, and, with collaborators, has pioneered the elicitation of subjective expectations in developing countries. Within the MiSoC programme, we have continued this line of research, with methodological developments on how best to ask about expectations in developing countries and with important applications (Delavande and Kohler 2016; Delavande et al., 2017). One example relates to higher education policy in South Asia. Delavande and Zafar (2019) investigate the determinants of students' university choice in Pakistan, where higher education institutions range from expensive Western-style elite (private) universities to free religious institutions (Madrassas), with public universities somewhere in the middle. This setting is relevant beyond Pakistan because of the similarity of Pakistan's education system to the rest of South Asia, home to nearly a quarter of the world's population. Delavande and Zafar (2019) find that expectations about labour market prospects play a small role in the choice of a university. Instead, nonpecuniary outcomes, such as the school's ideology, are the major determinants. Financial constraints are also very important. Results from policy simulations suggest that relaxing financial constraints by providing students with either loans or free schooling would increase students' welfare substantially. Beyond the substantive application, Delavande and Zafar (2019) innovates from a methodological point of view by modelling how some of the subjective expectations depend on the same structural parameters as the ones relevant to university choice using a generalized method of moments procedure. The secularisation thesis. The idea that modernisation causes problems for religion - has been a key topic in the study of social change, and is relevant to Strands II and III.3. A major study by Voas on religious decline in the United States was published in the American Journal of Sociology (one of the top two sociology journals), and subsequently received the 'Distinguished Article Award' from the Society for the Scientific Study of Religion, the leading learned society in this field. The article challenges the long-held view that the United States is a counterexample to the theory that modernisation is associated with secularisation. There has been a steady decline in the proportion of Americans who say that they have a religion, attend church regularly and believe in God. More significantly, these changes result from generational replacement, which is the main driver of secularisation elsewhere in the world. A commentary on this article by other scholars was widely discussed, with US Vice President Mike Pence joining in the public debate. Voas and co-author wrote a reply published at the end of 2018. In a forthcoming paper, Voas points out that while there is still no consensus on why secularisation occurs, we have made substantial progress in understanding the mechanisms of religious decline. Voas's focus on proximate rather than ultimate causes - on how religion loses influence rather than why it does so - has turned out to be an important contribution. |

| Description | The MiSoC 2014-19 research programme, "Understanding individual and family behaviours in a new era of uncertainty and change", aimed to point to ways in which our society can navigate the post-war transition from solidarity built on a sense of common purpose to the integration of people with diverse backgrounds, preferences, and abilities in an era of new pressures. We have delivered high-profile academic contributions on the themes of measuring subjective expectations, childhood investments and maternal mental health, secularisation, and immigration and ethnic inequality. Other areas where our work has consistently gained international recognition are the role of school quality and academic achievement, understanding how preschool attendance affects educational and social outcomes, gender and political economy, and income inequality. From a methodological perspective, we can signal significant developments in the areas of semiparametric causal models for panel data, improved power for difference-in-difference estimation, and measuring and modelling labour-market volatility. Our research has had conceptual and instrumental impacts, including on policy towards people with disabilities, tax and benefit design (including Universal Credit), measurement of income inequality, early years education and care, changes in the national curriculum to develop non-cognitive skills, ethnic and racial harassment and mental health, and Church of England reforms. Our strategy for achieving impact builds on our dynamic model of dialogue with policy-makers and third-sector organisations through our Policy Advisory Groups, the MiSoC Advisory Board, knowledge exchange (including joint research projects with organisations such as the Scottish Parliament Information Centre (SPICe), and the Resolution Foundation), regular events for policy-makers and practitioners, and contributions to parliamentary select enquiries and other calls for evidence. We provide below some examples of impact on policy and practice. 1. Disability benefits and social care for older people MiSoC researchers Hancock and Pudney have produced a long series of research studies on the role of disability-related cash benefits for older people and the funding of social care. Their work has shown that each system targets public support on those with high disability and financial needs, but the overlap between each source of support is small, and considerable numbers of older people with high need receive support from neither source. Combining the two sources into a single system - as proposed by the UK Government in 2008 - therefore risked increasing the numbers who fall through the (single) net. Evidence presented by the MiSoC team to the 2009 House of Commons Health Committee inquiry into social care, directly challenged the basis of the government's proposal. The Committee's report, citing our work (recommendation 35), called for a better evidential basis for policy towards disability benefits and the subsequent White Paper backtracked on that proposal. In December 2015, in the latest proposal for more integration of the disability benefits and social care systems, the Government announced it was considering giving more responsibility to local authorities to support older people with care needs: this included giving Local Authorities (LAs) responsibility for Attendance Allowance alongside social care. Our research was used to evaluate the pros and cons of this proposal and culminated in a report on Attendance Allowance and Local Government published by the Strategic Society Centre, which was launched at a seminar at the House of Lords in June 2016. In July 2016, the Department for Communities and Local Government consulted on plans to allow local authorities to retain 100% of business rates and sought views on what responsibilities could be funded locally from this new revenue stream, including giving LAs responsibility for Attendance Allowance (AA) alongside social care. In August 2016, the Joseph Rowntree Foundation published work commissioned from MiSoC's Pudney and Hancock on the design of the social security system. Many of the responses to the consultation quoted this report and the earlier report with the Strategic Society Centre. In 2017, the government announced that devolution of Attendance Allowance would not be going ahead. MiSoC's research thus provided robust quantitative evidence to challenge policy-makers' changes to the benefit system and, for the foreseeable future, has ensured that older people in the UK retain access to non-means-tested cash disability benefits to help them meet the costs that disability brings. For more details about the impact this research has so far achieved, please see: https://www.iser.essex.ac.uk/files/misoc/impact/impact-case-study-disability.pdf (narrative) https://www.iser.essex.ac.uk/files/misoc/impact/timeline-disability.pdf (timeline) 2. The impact of free early years education and care The UK government spends several billions of pounds a year on free childcare to ensure that some 2 year olds, and all 3 and 4 year olds in England have access to childcare and early education for several hours, 38 weeks a year. There has been an ongoing debate in all UK nations about whether (and by how much) to increase families' entitlement, yet there was surprisingly little evidence on the causal impact of this specific (and very high cost) intervention. In autumn 2012, MiSoC's Brewer, Rabe and Del Bono were awarded an ESRC grant to carry out a comprehensive analysis of the effects of free childcare provision on maternal employment and childhood outcomes (ES/K003232/1). The research carried over after the end of the original grant with support from MiSoC (ES/L009153/1). The main finding indicates that free childcare had little impact on children's development and maternal labour supply because its main effect was to displace existing childcare use. Subsequent analysis examined whether the effect of free childcare on child cognitive outcomes varies by the quality of the nursery attended, as measured by staff qualifications, but once again found very little impacts. The evidence uncovered by this research challenged the direction of policy at the time and the views of interest groups and non-governmental organisations. The findings were used by officials and ministers at the Department of Education in their plans for an expansion of the early years entitlement to 30 hours for working families. The objectives of educational attainment, affordability and maternal employment, which had been seen as complementary, were separated out and the justification of the expansion was based on affordability instead. The Department for Education (DfE) Chief Analyst wrote, "We have briefed our Minister, Sam Giymah on your research and it fed into discussions about what objectives we are really pursuing in early years.". The impacts provide a salient example of the ways in which independent academic research can mitigate against uncritical assumptions in policy and in society. This research has also influenced the research strategies of funders, such as the Nuffield Foundation, and government departments, such as the Department for Education. The Nuffield Foundation launched their new Early Years research stream with a report on lessons from evidence and future priorities that drew heavily on the results of our research. We worked with Frontier Economics on a project for HMRC and DfE on how best to evaluate the tax-free childcare, and the extension of free childcare to 30 hours. We have advised the Early Intervention Foundation on their research strategy, explaining the uses and limitations of existing data and commented on their research plans. We submitted to a DfE consultation on surveys on childcare and early years in England contributing to changes of the focus of the surveys from ages 0-14 to pre-school aged children. In December 2022 The Education Committee launched an inquiry to examine issues around the current childcare system for parents and carers, and whether current childcare entitlements are providing families with affordable and flexible childcare. On the basis of our research findings on this grant, in January 2023 we submitted evidence to this inquiry: https://committees.parliament.uk/writtenevidence/116455/pdf/ For more details about the impact this research has so far achieved, please see: https://www.iser.essex.ac.uk/files/misoc/impact/impact-case-study-childcare.pdf (narrative) https://www.iser.essex.ac.uk/files/misoc/impact/timeline-childcare.pdf (timeline) 3. Non-cognitive skills in childhood and curriculum change A growing body of research shows that certain attitudes and personality traits, also referred to as "non-cognitive skills," are strongly associated with achievement in various economic and social domains. Since 2013, MiSoC researcher Alan has evaluated the channels through which economic outcomes of disadvantaged children (with a particular focus on girls) can be improved in the classroom environment. The aim of the research was to improve a key set of non-cognitive skills in children of different age groups in a classroom environment by their own teachers. The initial study featured a randomized evaluation of an educational intervention involving 2500 3rd and 4th grade elementary school students in Turkey, which was carried out in collaboration with ING Bank as part of a corporate social responsibility project. The intervention focused on "patience" and was designed to encourage forward-looking behaviour. It was shown that treated students become more patient in intertemporal decisions and this effect persists for over a year after the initial intervention. Further work carried out in collaboration with the Turkish Ministry of National Education evaluated another innovative educational intervention focused on "grit". This research, involving over 3000 elementary school students, demonstrated that a program which fosters grit and instils a growth mind-set in children significantly improves test scores, and that this improvement can persist for as long as 3 years afterwards. The method used to evaluate grit in this study, known as the "Alan-Ertac Grit Measure" is now considered to be one of the most reliable inventories to elicit grit for a multitude of purposes and is used in several World Bank projects and by researchers in economics and psychology. The findings from these studies led the Turkish Ministry of National Education to launch a reformed nationwide curriculum in primary and post-primary schools to improve non-cognitive skills through the new Design-Skill Labs. At the same time, work with ING Bank Turkey led to Alan designing a new financial literacy programme, Orange Drops, for schoolchildren aged 8 and 9. This programme is the first single financial literacy education and social responsibility project by ING for Turkey's elementary school students and encourages positive behavioural changes addressing low personal rates of saving and lack of financial literacy. Since ING started running Orange Drops, 1,213 teachers have taught the programme in 329 schools, benefiting 38,835 schoolchildren. Professor Alan also been recently invited to be an academic advisor for the second phase of a World Bank funded project in North Macedonia (titled 'Learning By Doing') cultivating socio-emotional skills in 8th and 5th grade students. Here, Alan contributed to the design of a unique curriculum on socio-emotional skills which introduced a unique mentorship component. 4. Ethnic and racial harassment and impacts on mental health A specific focus of research by Luthra and long-term collaborator Nandi has been the study of the causes and consequences of ethnic and racial harassment. The research shows that this form of harassment is distinct from many others, with reports of harassment highest among the more highly educated, among men, and among those who participate more broadly in society. Other work further indicates that UK-born ethnic minorities have higher rates of ethnic and racial harassment, worse mental health, and worse health behaviours, on average, than the foreign-born. In 2016, the Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology (POST) suggested presenting written evidence based on these findings to the Home Affairs Committee's inquiry into "Hate crimes and its violent consequences". In 2017, POST requested research briefing information on behalf of Lord Crisp who wished to use the findings in the Debate on 'improving mental health services for people from black and ethnic minority communities' and on behalf of the House of Commons Women & Equalities Committee, who wanted to use it for its inquiries into the Race Disparity Audit and Tackling Inequalities faced by Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities. In 2017, Luthra was asked by the Independent Office of Police Conduct (IOPC) and the non-governmental organisation Quest for Economic Development to present to police personnel and mental health physicians. Two workshops were conducted at the IOPC offices in London, each attended by more than 20 investigators. The research was directly cited in debate Chamber in House of Lords by Lord Hunt of Kings Heath as being very relevant to the understanding about mental health issues in black and minority ethnic communities. It went on to be directly cited in Parliamentary Business, Written Questions and Answers by Baroness Whitaker in July 2018 with regards to what monitoring is undertaken in relation to the impact of racism on the mental health and wellbeing of Gypsy, Traveller and Roma people. The research also contributed to a book for academic and non-academic audiences ("Ethnic and Racial Harassment in Britain" in I. Boncori (Ed.) Race, Ethnicity and Inclusion - The University of Essex Reader, Napoli: Editoriale Scientifica, pp.111-118, 2018). Other noticeable examples of where our research has achieved significant instrumental and conceptual impacts are as follows: 5. Microsimulation methods and the design of Universal Credit MiSoC's Director Mike Brewer has a long history of research on the design of taxes and benefits. He has engaged heavily in knowledge exchange, working with and for user organisations concerned about tax and welfare design. In the run-up to the 2014 Scottish independence referendum, he served on two Expert Working Groups on Welfare for the Scottish government, where he noted the lack of microsimulation tools available to policy-makers in Edinburgh: the Scottish Parliament's Information Centre (SPICe) and the Scottish Government now use UKMOD, the UK component of the EUROMOD microsimulation model to answer Scottish Members' of Parliament queries and provide policy advice to Ministers. Work by Brewer has also led and influenced debates about the design of Universal Credit. In 2012, in a joint project with IFS, Brewer and de Agostini provided the first quantitative assessment of how households would win or lose under the proposed Universal Credit reform, and how it would affect measures of work incentives. This work was further extended by MiSoC researchers in projects commissioned by the Low Pay Commission and Gingerbread, and led Brewer to be invited to work with the Resolution Foundation to analyse how Universal Credit could be reformed so it could better meet its objectives. The final report, published by the Resolution Foundation in Spring 2015, has been cited widely; some of its recommendations were echoed by the Social Security Advisory Committee later in 2015. Brewer worked again with the Resolution Foundation, co-authoring a report published by them in October 2017. This work was part of Brewer's application for an ESRC Outstanding Impact Award in 2017, in the Public Policy category, where he was a successful finalist. 6. Inequalities in employment Brynin, Longhi and Nandi worked closely with the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) and the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) on two major research areas. A JRF-commissioned report (https://www.jrf.org.uk/report/effect-occupation-poverty-among-ethnic-minority-groups) looked at occupational segregation as an explanation for ethnic differences in poverty rates. The MiSoC team contributed to a large number of workshops organised by JRF with voluntary organisations representing ethnic-minority interests, designed to link research outcomes with practical change; and the finding that occupational segregation is a significant problem for some minorities has informed JRF's policy work. The EHRC-commissioned reports, published in autumn 2017, looked at gender, ethnic and disability gaps in labour market outcomes, and provided a major piece of the evidence base that was cited heavily in the EHRC's 2017 strategy document, Fair opportunities for all - What needs to change to reduce pay gaps in Britain?. The team also contributed to the Women & Equalities Select Committee Inquiry on Race Disparity Audit (January 2018). 7. Income inequality and the very rich. The 'go to' official sources for information about UK income inequality levels and trends are the data and statistics produced annually by the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) and Office of National Statistics (ONS) and are based on data from household surveys. These tell a different story from administrative record data from income tax returns held by HMRC (the Survey of Personal Incomes), which show a rising share of income going to those at the very top since the mid-1990s. Research by MiSoC's Stephen Jenkins with colleagues combines information about how income is distributed over the very highest income ranges (poorly covered by household surveys) with the information about the income distribution over the rest of the income range which is reliably provided by the household survey (but not the tax data). Jenkins concludes that the official income distribution statistics in the UK (and elsewhere) could be improved. This work led directly to changes in the methods used by the ONS to derive the UK's two official series about income distribution (ONS 2018: Transformation of ONS household financial statistics: ONS statistical outputs workplan, 2018 to 2019). Further ONS research confirms the findings of Jenkins and colleagues that estimates of inequality levels are higher when combined data are used, and that recent inequality trends differ. Jenkins's work is complemented by work by MiSoC's Brewer who argued for a greater use of the HMRC data in UK debates about income inequality (Brewer, 2019), and whose work on the very rich was the subject of an article in The Economist ("A rare peep at the finances of Britain's 0.01%", 29 June 2019). 8. EUROMOD and 'nowcasting' the income distribution MiSoC researchers have recently collaborated with Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union, resulting in new, experimental statistics which provide "flash estimates" of poverty and the income distribution in 2016 (http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/experimental-statistics/income-inequality-and-poverty-indicators). Since income data for 2016 for all EU countries will not be available until sometime in 2018, these estimates (published in October 2017) improve the timeliness with which indications are available of the directions of change of important social dimensions such as the at-risk-of-poverty rate and evolution of income deciles. The flash estimates make use of EUROMOD, the EU-tax-benefit microsimulation model, and the methodology draws heavily on pioneering work by MiSoC researchers to "nowcast" income distributions and poverty rates in the EU (Navicke et al., 2014). Together with other analysis using EUROMOD on the distributional and fiscal effects of policy changes, some carried out by MiSoC researchers (see the Country Reports produced by the Commission for Denmark, Spain, France, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Austria, Poland, Slovenia and Sweden in the latest round) https://ec.europa.eu/info/publications/2017-european-semester-country-reports_en), they will form an important part of the evidence-base in the European Semester process. 9. Informing policy and guiding investment in the Church of England MiSoC's David Voas was commissioned by the Church of England in 2012 to undertake a study to identify factors associated with church growth and decline, building on his expertise on analysing religious decline. The report, published online in 2014, have been widely discussed in Church circles at all levels. In response the Church published two brochures 'From Anecdote to Evidence' (in 2014) and 'From Evidence to Action' (2015). Justin Welby described the report as the most important study conducted by the Church for many years, and one that will have a real impact. Indeed, he stated that "It is for this reason - because the findings prompt churches to act - that following on from the research, a toolkit, From Evidence to Action has been developed." Andreas Whittam Smith, the First Church Estates Commissioner, is now proposing a major investment programme to change the fortunes of the Church. These investments are expected to amount to £100 million over the next ten years. The work done by Voas is explicitly cited as the justification for this major commitment. 10. Legalising drugs MiSoC's Steve Pudney, Mark Bryan and Emilia Del Bono undertook a major study, co-funded by the Open Society Institute, to evaluate the costs and benefits of two potential reforms to drugs policy in England and Wales: the creation of a regulated market for cannabis and the introduction of a national system of supervised heroin injection for registered addicts. The study was commissioned by the Beckley Foundation with the twin aims of expanding the evidence base on drugs policy reform and helping to shift the policy formation process onto a more rational basis. The report attracted considerable media attention and was cited directly by the Liberal Democrats election manifesto in 2017. 11. The consequences of war on human capital MiSoC's Sonia Bhalotra undertook a study with Richard Akresh (Univ of Illinois Urbana Champagne), Una Osili (Indiana) and Marinella Leone (Sussex) investigating for the first time the long run and intergenerational consequences of war on human capital. They analysed how exposure of individuals of different ages to the Biafra war of 1967-1970 in Nigeria affected their education, health, marriage, fertility, and the education and health of their children. One of the many findings of this research was that later life outcomes were most sensitive to exposure to war during adolescence. This finding has sparked significant interest in UNICEF, leading them to write a blog about the work and to organize a workshop (in October 2017) to discuss creating a policy and research network on adolescents in humanitarian crises. |

| Impact | My research (with M. Matsaganis) on the "Ex ante poverty and fiscal evaluation of a guaranteed minimum income programme in Greece" using the tax-benefit microsimulation model EUROMOD has been pivotal in the (ongoing) implementation process of this benefit. It was funded by the World Bank and delivered to the Greek Ministry of Labour and Social Security. This evaluation was specifically mentioned in the ESM stability support programme that was signed between Greece and the EC in August 2015 (p. 17), where the Greek authorities agreed to gradually roll out a nationwide guaranteed minimum income (GMI) by the end of 2016. The estimates provided in this study were also included in the 2016 OECD Economic Survey of Greece (p. 96). The research is considered as an impact case study candidate for the REF 2021. I was also invited to present it at the EC Conference on "European Microsimulation Modelling for Policymaking" (May 2015). I am currently assisting the World Bank in the design of a survey questionnaire to evaluate the GMI national rollout in terms of its impact on poverty, using EUROMOD. |

| Title | BOOST2018 Study |
| Description | The BOOST2018 Study is a longitudinal survey of undergraduate students who enrolled at one UK university in the academic year 2015/16, and (for the vast majority) completed their degree in 2017/18. Each year students were invited to reply to three on-line surveys, one for each term, and to attend one laboratory session. The on-line surveys were variable in length but generally took about one hour with the exception of the Summer term surveys (waves 4, 8 and 12), which were shorter to allow for the fact that students take their exams at the end of the year. Participation in the surveys was incentivised using monetary rewards - between £8 and £20 for on-line surveys and on average £30 for the laboratory sessions. The on-line surveys were designed to collect information on students' academic investments (hours of study), non-academic investments (working for pay, participation in volunteering groups, etc.), their expectations about future academic achievement and labour market outcomes (earnings, probability of employment) as well as, at wave 9, non-pecuniary future job attributes. The survey data was linked to administrative records held by the university. Specifically, we use here information on the student demographics (gender and age), socio-economic status as measured by parental occupation and the university participation rate in their neighbourhood of domicile, and marks. Ethnicity is self-identified at the time of enrolment at the university. We also obtained access to their timetable of scheduled lectures and classes and weekly records of attendance - administered through a swipe-card electronic system - to derive measures of attendance that are not affected by self-reporting. The sampling frame comprised all undergraduate students enrolling in the first year of an undergraduate (Bachelor's) course in October 2015. The target population consisted of 2,621 students. In order to participate in the study, each student was required to sign a consent form. All students who enrolled in the study received £5 as an incentive. By the end of the Autumn term of the academic year 2015/16, when the participation register was closed, 1,978 students had given their consent (about 75% of the target sample). Enrolment re-opened to eligible students at the beginning of the second and third years, resulting in a small number of additional participants (n=19). Because of the presence of monetary incentives and the advertising campaigns aimed at keeping the study salient to the population, participation to the surveys was consistently high. Between 774 and 1,276 students took part in the surveys at different points in time, with higher response rates for the main on-line waves (between 55% and 68%), and lower rates for the laboratory sessions (between 45% and 59%) and Summer term surveys (between 52% and 56%) (see Appendix Table A1). |

| Title | Data and Code for: Maternal Depression, Women's Empowerment, and Parental Investment: Evidence from a Randomized Control Trial |
| Description | We evaluate the medium-term impacts of treating maternal depression on women's mental health, financial empowerment, and parenting decisions. We leverage variation induced by a cluster-randomized control trial that provided psychotherapy to 903 prenatally depressed mothers in rural Pakistan. It was one of the world's largest psychotherapy interventions, and it dramatically reduced postpartum depression. Seven years after psychotherapy concluded, we returned to the study site to find that impacts on women's mental health had persisted, with a 17% reduction in depression rates. The intervention also improved women's financial empowerment and increased both time- and money-intensive parental investments by between 0.2 and 0.3 standard deviations. |

| Organisation | Higher Education Statistical Agency |
| Country | United Kingdom |
| Sector | Private |
| PI Contribution | A knowledge exchange has been set up between MiSoC researchers and the HESA Analytical team. The purpose of the project is to analyse data on several cohorts of Higher Education students and document the existence and the evolution of a gap in performance according to protected characteristics such as gender, ethnicity and social background. Performance will be measured by progression and final degree outcome taking into account (i) dropout, (ii) change of course/subject area, and (iii) change of institution. The analysis will also try to explain the factors contributing to the existence of these performance gaps, including student characteristics and institutional characteristics (i.e. student/staff ratios, composition of staff by gender, ethnicity, etc.). The MiSoC team will take the lead in defining the main research questions and applying the most up-to-date empirical methods to the empirical analysis. Specifically, we will be able to show how longitudinal methods and statistical decomposition techniques can greatly enhance the understanding of the issues at hand. |
| Collaborator Contribution | In order to obtain evidence on student progression, it will be necessary to construct a unique student identifier which would allow the researchers to follow students over time, even when they change subject or institution. At the moment, such identifier is not available directly from the HESA student records. The HESA analytical team will assist with the construction of such an identifier. To understand the institutional factors contributing to the performance gap it will be necessary to match the HESA student records with data on staff characteristics. The staff records are held at the level of the academic HESA cost centre but a student can be assigned to multiple cost centres depending on the combination of subject studied. The HESA analytical team will assist attributing students to a single cost centre or a number of cost centres in relation to the combination of subjects studied. |

| Country | European Union (EU) |
| Sector | Public |
| PI Contribution | Synergies for Europe's Research Infrastructures in the Social Sciences (SERISS), aims to equip Europe's social science data infrastructures to play a major role in addressing the key societal challenges facing Europe today and ensure that national and European policymaking is built on a solid base of the highest-quality socio-economic evidence. The project brings together leading European Research Infrastructures in the social sciences - the European Social Survey (ESS ERIC), the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE ERIC) and Consortium of European Social Science Data Archives (CESSDA ERIC) - alongside organisations representing the Generations and Gender Programme (GGP), European Values Study (EVS) and the WageIndicator Survey. It aims to exploit potential synergies and overcome existing fragmentation across infrastructures in order to enhance the key role played by these infrastructures, which form the bedrock of empirical social science in Europe. SERISS Work Package 5, Training and Dissemination, addresses specific training of staff working in cross-national social science research and infrastructures. The work package aims to design trainings and training materials for tools developed in SERISS and to provide training on data management, data handling and harmonisation, as well as on statistical analysis to a wider social science community. By sharing resources and skills training will have considerable value beyond infrastructure specific initiatives. The SERISS project therefore develops a programme of face-to-face training events and online resources to disseminate learning from the project among other researchers and social science infrastructures. I have presented the 4th and final training course in this programme, drawing on my extensive knowledge of the Understanding Society, SOEP and CNEF studies and my heavy involvement in developing and delivering hands-on training workshop. In the next couple of months there will be a webinar on the substantive content of the course. |
| Collaborator Contribution | SERISS network organised the training course, advertised it, provided the facilities and hosted the hands-on training workshop. The course was well-received and reached a network of researchers to whom analysis of panel data is very new. (More than 120 analysts applied to attend the course of whom 25 were invited to participate). |
| Impact | Five worksheets illustrating longitudinal analysis of panel data have been produced and were shared with the course participants. Syntax files to replicate the analysis has been shared also. A webinar will be recorded and posted on the SERISS website. |

| Title | eq5dmap: Statistical software for mapping between the EQ-5D-3L and EQ-5D-5L measures of health outcomes in cost-effectiveness evaluations |
| Description | Freely available for use with the Stata statistical software package. eq5dmap is a Stata command for prediction of the utility values of EQ-5D-5L (EQ-5D-3L) from observed or specified values of EQ-5D-3L (EQ-5D-5L) conditional on age and gender. Predictions can be made either from the five-item health descriptions or from the (exact or approximate) utility score. The prediction process is based on a joint statistical model of the two variants of EQ-5D that have been fit to alternative reference datasets (the National Data Bank for Rheumatic Diseases and a EuroQol Group coordinated data-collection study). The underlying model is a system of ordinal regressions with a flexible residual distribution specified as Gaussian or as a copula mixture. Use of the command is illustrated with an application that includes an investigation of the sensitivity of the mapping outcomes to the choice of reference dataset. |
| Type Of Technology | Software |
| Year Produced | 2018 |
| Open Source License? | Yes |
| Impact | Use of the software has so far been acknowledged in 4 published papers but it is too early to know how extensive use will eventually be. |

| Results and Impact | Young adults who are still living with their parents and still in compulsory education finance their independent consumption using either parental transfers (pocket money), or by working part-time. Parents care about their own and their children's consumption, but also about the effect that part-time work might have on their children's study time and academic achievement, so are prepared to sacrifice some of their income to subsidize their children's expenses. A new IZA Discussion Paper by Angus Holford investigates how parents and their teenage children interact to set the amounts of (i) pocket money and (ii) part-time work. The analysis uses data on part-time working hours, and pocket money from parents, reported by around 5,000 girls and 5,000 boys in compulsory education in England, interviewed annually between 2004 (when they were 14) and 2006 (when they were 16). |

All this at a time when the share of graduates in the economy increased dramatically. However, in an article for The Conversation, Andrea Salvatori and colleagues Seetha Menon and Wouter Zwysen explain how new studies for ISER into job polarisation have uncovered flaws in the data and new evidence that in fact graduates are getting high skill jobs and that this sector is growing.

| Results and Impact | MiSoC's Mike Brewer was asked to speak at and participate in a private roundtable discussion on 'Reforming working age social security: lessons for policy makers' on 10 April 2018. The event will be held from 10.30-12.30 at the Institute for Government, 2 Carlton Gardens, London SW1Y 5AA, and will be followed by lunch. The roundtable will bring together politicians, civil servants and other key players involved in major reforms to working age social security over the last 20 years including Welfare to Work; Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) and Personal Independence Payments (PIP); moving support for working families from the benefit system to tax credits; and Universal Credit (UC). A full attendee list is below. The discussion will cover trends and common features across these reforms, such as the use of the benefit system to influence behaviour, the problems in delivering expected savings, and the challenges faced in effective implementation. The aim of the roundtable is to capture insights from two decades of reform and summarise them into lessons that can help current and future policy-makers - both political and official. The discussion will focus on the following key questions: · What are the key lessons to learn for future efforts at reform? What is different about trying to reform welfare to making changes in other areas of policy? · What makes reforms more - or less - likely to stand the test of time? · How far does evidence drive reform? How could evidence-gathering, consultation and evaluation be improved? The roundtable will be conducted under Chatham House rule and chaired by Nick Timmins, Senior Fellow at the Institute for Government. |

They can also help to assess the impact of a changing economic environment on the budgetary cost and effectiveness of policies and on the income distribution. This conference showcases some recent policy-relevant analysis using EUROMOD and other micro-simulation models. |

There was a lively discussion about what factors are important, and some self-reflection among the attending children was sparked. My input has fed into a performance the group are going live with in November 2015. Ideas such as "money does not buy happiness", the role of looks and self-perception, (over)eating and other health behaviours that are linked to life satisfaction are all being reflected upon in the performance. |

My research finds that money matters for children's wellbeing and suggests that a policy focus on alleviating income poverty in childhood is a key to increasing population well-being. A follow-up event was organised to showcase the research alongside other work on children's wellbeing, and with involvement of the Child Poverty Action Group. |

During panel discussion I also communicated research on ethnic and SES outcome gaps at universities, primarily showing the problem isn't access but performance after access. |

It was pointed out that for qualitative analysis, focus groups could be conducted on Second Life with the members of Virtual Ability as people with disabilities would not always be able to participate in traditional focus groups. I was also invited to participate in future events and conduct focus groups with VA members. |
