One of the important tasks of social science research is to understand change in behaviour and attitudes of individuals over time. Questions about the timing and occurrence of events and transitions such as the timing of labour market (re-)entry, duration of partnerships, birth intervals, or school drop-outs cannot be studied with standard methods but require specialized techniques of event history analysis.
This course describes how to manage, describe, and model event history data as it pertains to the types of research carried out in the social sciences. It offers practical experience with real world examples and an overview on the estimation of continuous- and discrete-time event history models.
