Notes to Chapter 6
Notes to Chapter 7
Figure 6.2 in Chapter 6 is based on the regression
shown here in Table 6.9. The unit of analysis
is an adult in Denmark. Data are available on
almost all 2012 adults participating in our survey
in 2008. The questions about training were
not asked in previous years.
Figure 7.2 in Chapter 7 is based on Figure 6.2
and on the regressions shown here in Tables 7.8
and 7.9. The unit of analysis is an adult in Denmark.
The sample of respondents approximates
a simple random sample of the adult population
in Denmark and is thereby fairly representative
of the population of adults (ages 18 to 64). Data
for these analysis are available on by far most
adults participating in our surveys in the years
2003-08, except that the questions about training
were asked only in 2008. Therefore I regressed
on the independendent variables including
training using only the data for 2008
and I regressed on the independent variables
excluding training using the data for 2003-08.
