Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Hardcover, ix + 413 pages, NOT ex-library. A very good, clean and bright copy, with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps. Published without a dust jacket. -- This is a practical guide for social scientists engaged in the complex task of harmonizing survey data from different European countries. The work directly confronts the core problem of comparative research: that key socio-economic variables like education, occupation, and income are measured differently across national contexts, making direct comparison invalid. The book offers a systematic framework and concrete strategies for achieving functional equivalence, focusing on "ex-post" harmonization where data has already been collected. The analysis details the major international classification systems, such as ISCED for education and ISCO for occupations, and provides step-by-step procedures for recoding national-specific data into a single, comparable variable. This is an essential toolkit for any researcher seeking to conduct valid and reliable quantitative analysis using datasets like the European Social Survey or Eurobarometer. -- Contents: Measuring Demographic and Socio-Economic Variables in Cross-National Research: An Overview; -- I.
