🚨 Methodische Brüche im #Mikrozensus
Seit 2020 ist die Zahl gleichgeschlechtlicher Partnerschaften in den Daten stark gestiegen – allerdings nicht durch gesellschaftliche Veränderungen, sondern durch veränderte Erhebungsverfahren.

The first research project where I am PI, “Responsible use of Artificial Intelligence in government agencies”, was selected by the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam to seek sponsorship!

Everything is in Dutch, but it can be translated with the Google translate plugin.

Today, the ERC formally adopted a decision to increase its support for researchers moving to Europe.

On top of its normal grants, the ERC offers 'start-up' funding to help PIs establish laboratories / research teams in Europe.

This extra funding is now x2 (up to €2 million!)

People usually overestimate the share of immigrants in their country.

However, in this new #openaccess paper, I show that survey respondents who do not use round numbers like 10% or 20% in their guesses collectively estimate the share with astounding precision. #crowdwisdom

doi.org/10.1177/0001...
Abstract of the paper "Emergent Numeracy: How the Crowd Wisdom of Non-Rounding Survey Respondents Generates Accurate Immigration Estimates": Survey respondents overestimate, on average, the number of immigrants living in their country. This phenomenon, known as immigration innumeracy, seems incompatible with the wisdomof- crowds effect, which suggests that large samples of individuals should, as a collectivity, be good at estimating such figures. However, this article reveals that crowd wisdom does emerge in a previously overlooked subgroup: non-rounding respondents. Drawing on German and European survey data, it is shown that when round estimates (5, 10, 15, …) are excluded, a subset of “wise” non-rounding respondents remains, who collectively estimate the share of foreigners in their country with astounding precision. Thus, a relevant—and easily identifiable— part of the population is actually collectively immigration numerate. Two potential mechanisms behind this emergent phenomenon are explored. First, regression models reveal that non-rounders are more educated and politically interested than rounders, indicating more informed guesses. Second, simulations show that the coarse-grained nature of round numbers itself can contribute to inaccurate estimates. Using round numbers is thus associated with uncertainty, resulting in biased estimates. Taking the crowd wisdom of non-rounding respondents into account qualifies the extent of immigration innumeracy and improves our understanding of a phenomenon that is often seen as a root cause of xenophobia. Graph that shows that rounding survey responents on average over-estimate the share of foreigners living in Eastern Germany, whereas non-rounding survey respondents are collectively very close to the official value. Graph that reveals based on simulated data that the coarse-grained nature of round values contributes to the imprecision of round estimates. Graph from the supplementary material that shows based on international ESS data that across countries in Europe the same pattern holds: rounders overestimate the share of migrants, non-rounders are close to the offical value on average.

Wahl 2025: Wie die GLES die vorgezogene Bundestagswahl begleitet
Am 5. November 2024 beantragte Olaf Scholz die Entlassung von Finanzminister Christian Lindner beim Bundespräsidenten. Darüber zerbrach die Regierungskoalition, und es kam zu vorgezogene Bundestagswahlen. Statt im September sollte schon im Februar 2025 gewählt werden.
