Abstract:
|
Two long-standing research problems of research interest are the sources of variations in social inequalities and the differential contributions of the temporal dimensions of age, time period, and cohort to variations in social phenomena. To study these problems, this paper presents a two-step algorithm for integrating Variance Function Regression, which simultaneously models both the mean and variance of an outcome variable as functions of covariates, with Hierarchical Age-Period-Cohort Analysis, for application to a series of repeated cross-section sample surveys. The integrated model then is applied to repeated cross-section sample survey data on subjective health status.
