About the book:
Financial participation of employees is a perennial debate in political discussions as well as in business practice and in social sciences research. On the European level in particular attempts have been made during recent years to harmonise and stimulate the instrument of economic democracy and partnership. To date, regulations have been characterised by national law and labour relations. For instance, France has established an obligatory legal framework, whereas small tax incentives are provided in Germany. Therefore, this book combines several national reports with perspectives from different disciplines, e.g. business administration, economic sociology and law. Furthermore, different institutional forms like corporate associations are presented.

Neue Publikation: Sozialwissenschaftliche Forschungsmethoden – Band 10: Explorative und deskriptive Datenanalyse mit R

sozialwissenschaftliche-forschungsmethoden-10 Markus Burkhardt, Peter Sedlmeier

Explorative und deskriptive Datenanalyse mit R

Die explorative Datenanalyse (EDA) umfasst eine Reihe meist grafischer oder semigrafischer Verfahren, die es ermöglichen, Daten und Ergebnisse besser zu verstehen. Das Ziel der EDA ist es Muster, Auffälligkeiten oder Zusammenhänge in Daten zu entdecken. Im Hauptteil des Buches werden die Grundtechniken zur Exploration von Verteilungen, Zusammenhängen und multivariaten Beziehungen vorgestellt. Die Grenzen zwischen der explorativen und der deskriptiven Datenanalyse sind fließend und für eine vernünftige Datenanalyse (und auch zur Kommunikation von Ergebnissen) sind beide unabdingbar. Deswegen behandelt das Buch beide Arten von Verfahren. Zudem enthält es ein Kapitel über Effektgrößen und eines zu Grafiken in der Inferenzstatistik. Alle Verfahren werden mit Hilfe von Beispielen illustriert und können unter Verwendung der frei erhältlichen Programmiersprache R von jedermann leicht nachvollzogen werden. Ergänzend werden alle R-Skripte auch online angeboten (http://www.r-stutorials.de/eda). Da keinerlei Programmierkenntnisse vorausgesetzt werden, eignet sich dieses Buch auch zum Einstieg in R.

Lineare Strukturgleichungsmodelle sind aus der verhaltenswissenschaftlichen Forschung nicht mehr wegzudenken. Sie sind ein nützliches Werkzeug, um Hypothesen über Beziehungen zwischen Variablen zu prüfen und – mehr noch – Implikationen kausaler Strukturen zu testen. In diesem Buch werden Grundlagen, Hintergründe und die Vorgehensweisen bei der Spezifizierung von Kausalmodellen diskutiert. Dies wird an einem empirischen Beispiel und unter Verwendung des lavaan-Pakets innerhalb der Software R illustriert. Der Schwerpunkt des Buchs liegt hierbei weniger auf methodischen und statistischen Aspekten eines Modells, sondern auf der adäquaten Übersetzung der theoretischen Vorstellungen in ein Modell. Ein besonderer Stellenwert wird dem Verständnis der kausalen Implikationen von Modellen, der theoretische Bedeutung von Variablen, der Diagnostik einer Fehlanpassung an die Daten und modernen Konzepten wie dem Instrumentalvariablen-Ansatz aus der Ökonometrie und dem d-separation-Konzept, eingeräumt. Somit bietet das Buch sowohl einen Einstieg für Anfänger/innen als auch interessante Inhalte für Fortgeschrittene.
