One crucial indicator is the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infections. Since this measure is an important foundation for political decisions, its estimate must be reliable and unbiased. This paper presents reasons for biases in prevalence estimates due to unit nonresponse in typical studies. Since it is difficult to avoid bias in situations with mostly unknown nonresponse mechanisms, we propose the maximum amount of bias as one measure to assess the uncertainty due to nonresponse. An interactive web application is presented that calculates the limits of such a conservative unit nonresponse confidence interval (CUNCI).}, language = {en} } @article{ClassKoehlerKrawietz2018, author = {Class, Fabian and K{\"o}hler, Ulrich and Krawietz, Marian}, title = {The Potsdam Grievance Statistics File}, series = {Historical Methods}, volume = {51}, journal = {Historical Methods}, number = {2}, publisher = {Routledge, Taylor \& Francis Group}, address = {Abingdon}, issn = {0161-5440}, doi = {10.1080/01615440.2018.1429970}, pages = {92 -- 114}, year = {2018}, abstract = {The newly collected Potsdam Grievance Statistics File (PGSF) holds data on the number and topics of grievances (Eingaben) that were addressed to local authorities of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) in the years 1970 to 1989.

Germany's policy of randomly allocating asylum seekers across Germany may advantage some and disadvantage others in terms of opportunities for equal participation in society. This study explores the question whether asylum seekers that have been allocated to rural areas experience disadvantages in terms of language acquisition compared to those allocated to urban areas. We derive testable assumptions using a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) which are then tested using large-N survey data (IAB-BAMF-SOEP refugee survey). We find that living in a rural area has no negative total effect on language skills. Further the findings suggest that the "null effect" is the result of two processes which offset each other: while asylum seekers in rural areas have slightly lower access for formal, federally organized language courses, they have more regular exposure to German speakers.}, language = {en} } @incollection{Kohler2015, author = {Kohler, Ulrich}, title = {Variance Inflation Factor}, series = {Methoden-Lexikon f{\"u}r die Sozialwissenschaften}, booktitle = {Methoden-Lexikon f{\"u}r die Sozialwissenschaften}, editor = {Diaz-Bone, Rainer and Weischer, Christoph}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Wiesbaden}, isbn = {978-3-531-16629-2}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-531-18889-8_22}, pages = {423 -- 423}, year = {2015}, language = {de} } @incollection{Kohler2015, author = {Kohler, Ulrich}, title = {Cook's Distanz}, series = {Methoden-Lexikon f{\"u}r die Sozialwissenschaften}, booktitle = {Methoden-Lexikon f{\"u}r die Sozialwissenschaften}, editor = {Diaz-Bone, Rainer and Weischer, Christoph}, publisher = {Springer Fachmedien}, address = {Wiesbaden}, isbn = {978-3-531-16629-2}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-531-18889-8_3}, pages = {69 -- 69}, year = {2015}, language = {de} }
