Event History Analysis in Life Course Research

A compendium of studies drawn from an international conference, this volume includes work on event history analysis. Researchers at four institutions convened, shared models of analysis and collected their findings for the first time. The studies included represent work done in the following organizations - the Max Planck Institute in West Germany, the US Social Science Research Council's Committee on Comparative Stratification, the Special Research Unit of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, and MASO, an informal German working group on mathematical sociology.
