- Learning targets:
The central aim of this course is to empower participants to critically discuss basic concepts and assumptions of multilevel analyses using comparative micro data, to conduct theory-driven empirical research, to choose and specify the appropriate models according to the ideas of modern causal analysis, to take the levels and scales of measurement of variables into account, to independently carry out multilevel analyses using the statistics package Stata, to correctly interpret and clearly present the results of multilevel analyses in tables and graphs.
Course contents:
Multilevel analysis has been especially applied to the case of many clusters and few observations within each cluster, e.g. in education research on pupils nested in classes and schools. However, multilevel analysis is more and more often used in international comparative social research. Following the latter comparative research tradition, this course is devoted to the specific problem of a small number of countries and large numbers of individuals within each country. This course quickly repeats the foundations of multiple regression analysis, introduces the basics of multilevel analysis and focuses on advanced topics of multilevel analysis. Models for continuous and binary dependent variables are presented. Moreover, it is discussed how many and which kind of macro level variables should be included to account for the macro context. A specific focus is on the specification and interpretation of cross-level interactions. Exemplary empirical studies and current debates in multilevel analysis of comparative micro-data are discussed. In lab sessions participants will learn how to practically implement multilevel analyses of comparative microdata using the statistics package Stata. The lab sessions and the seminar theses will draw on topical sociological questions and data of the European Social Survey (ESS).
