Outline: Open any news outlet and you'll nowadays read about high inflation and energy poverty affecting countless households. From autumn 2021 till spring 2022, we have collected a panel dataset of 14 bi-weekly waves measuring the financial worries of households in The Netherlands, Belgium and Australia. We also measure various labor market relevant outcomes such as psychological health, life satisfaction, human and social capital investments and more. If you are interested in exploring the within person and between person fluctuations in financial worry and the relation to changes in labor market relevant outcomes, this may be the topic for you. Note that you need to have prior experience cleaning and analyzing panel data.
For this topic we are looking for a student with strong quantitative analysis skills.
