The course combines labor market research on inequalities and justice evaluations with applied quantitative data analysis. From an analytical sociology perspective, substantive mechanisms will be introduced and discussed that drive actual inequality and justice perceptions between social groups regarding different labor market outcomes like earnings, promotion opportunities, among others. The course emphasizes the link between quantitative data analysis and the test of hypotheses derived from substantive theories. There will be two main data sources for applying these tests: German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) and the European Social Survey (ESS).
Basic knowledge of applied data analysis is required, such as descriptive statistics. Overall, motivation to learn about quantitative data analysis in the context of social research is suggested for participating.
The knowledge of Stata or R is useful, but not necessary.
