The aim of this article is to analyze the contribution of social ties to moving to high-opportunity locations and assess whether their effect is more pronounced for low-income individuals as a compensation for economic resources. This is done by utilizing Swedish administrative data and by focusing on a wide range of relationships (observed directl...
There is a substantive literature examining the gender wage gap, its components and how it changes over time. The decisions that workers make in their career paths when changing occupations or entering new industries have a major impact on the evolution of their wage trajectories. Women and men follow different typical paths across industries and o...
Strong local clusters help firms compete on global markets. One explanation for this is that firms benefit from locating close to their suppliers and customers. However, the emergence of global supply chains shows that physical proximity is not necessarily a prerequisite to successfully manage customer-supplier relations anymore. This raises the qu...
By using extensive Hungarian administrative data, this study aims to provide empirical evidence that former university ties strongly influence the labour market outcomes of individuals, even early in their careers. The estimates focus on the early career paths of graduates who obtained a master's degree between 2010 and 2017. As direct information...
Napjainkban is komoly különbségek figyelhetőek meg nők és férfiak vezetővé válási esélyeit, és vezetőként elért béreit tekintve. Tanulmányunkkal célunk, hogy egy új elemmel járuljunk hozzá férfi és női vezetői bérkülönbségek vizsgálatához: a vezetői pozíciókat megelőző foglalkozási utak feltérképezésével és a karriermintázatokban előforduló nemek k...
We address the presence, magnitude, and composition of wage gains related to former co-workers and discuss the mechanisms that could explain their existence. Using Hungarian linked employer–employee administrative data and proxying actual co-workership with overlapping work histories, we show that the overall wage gain attributable to former co-wor...
Tanulmányunkban azt vizsgáljuk, hogy a mesterképzésben egy időben tanuló szaktársak milyen hatást gyakorolnak egymás későbbi munkaerőpiaci kilátásaira a végzettség megszerzését követő néhány évben. Az elemzést olyan összekötött államigazgatási adatokon végeztük, amelyek a 2003 és 2017 közötti időszakra tartalmazzák a magyarországi népesség 50 száza...
Kutatásunk célja annak megmutatása, hogy a volt munkakapcsolatok figyelemre méltó hatást gyakorolnak a munkahelyváltó egyének kezdőbérére, a későbbi bérek pályájára, illetve az állásvesztés valószínűségére. Az elemzés adminisztratív államigazgatási adatbázison alapul, mely a 2003–2011 közötti időszakra vonatkozóan tartalmazza a magyarországi népess...
The goal of the research was to create online maps with dynamically changing cartographic images according to the users’ map reading skills, by only using open source tools and resources. The maps were designed for three map reader groups (beginners, intermediates and experts). We used OpenStreetMap and Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) data...
An online map reading test was done with 859 subjects to statistically measure the efficiency of information retrieval from three different cartographic images of the same area. The differences between the maps were defined by the graphic variables of size, color, pattern, etc., for six map data categories: linear features, hydrography, land cover,...
Map users understand the same map with different efficiency, but cartographers are searching ways for a long time to diminish this difference, and provide the same cartographic information to all users. In this study an online map-reading test was done to statistically measure the efficiency of information retrieval from three different cartographi...
The aim of the present experimental research is to study the readability of different map data types with statistical methods regarding three user categories (beginner, intermediate and expert). The fivelingual intenational survey has included 488 people (mainly from the higher education), and consisted of eight questions in an online test. Because...
The goal of the study was to quantify map reading skills with the results of an online test. The target group mainly (not exclusively) consisted of ongoing and graduated students from higher education from Hungary, Spain, Austria, Germany, Romania and Bulgaria, resulting in a total sample size of 488 people. The test consists of seven multiple-choi...
