Seems like this anti-welfare attitude among young males (and gender divide in political attitudes) is quite a universal trend now, seen in many high-income countries

Say you’ve got very good causal IDENTIFICATION. Can you say you have causality, can make a causal general claim, and can say what “THE causal effect” is?

Let’s say you have very low sample response rate (recruit tens of millions and only tens of thousands self select into sample).
Then you have a RCT where there is clean random assignment of treatment.
Does the first stage sample selection bias your estimate of causal effect of treatment?

Curious about the LIS/LWS database and eager to learn how to use quantitative methods with the harmonised cross-national dataset for comparative research?

I will also contribute to teaching macro-panel (or time-series cross-section) methods using LIS data.
