Nevertheless, in Italy, the share of doctoral graduates is still lower than the average for OECD member countries. This paper investigates the effectiveness of doctoral education and the extent to which the Italian labour market properly absorbs the rising flow of Ph.D. holders. The effectiveness is assessed from the twofold perspective of the formal relevance of a Ph.D. qualification in the labour market and the substantial applicability of skills acquired to different occupations inside and outside university. Logit models enable sketches of the main determinants of overeducation and overskilling among Italian Ph.D.'s, whereas log-earnings equations allow assessment of the role of educational and skills mismatches in terms of wage penalties. Oaxaca-Blinder decompositions help analyse some causes of these mismatches. The different patterns of overeducation and overskilling among Ph.D. holders working inside and outside academe lead to different degrees of pay penalties.","PeriodicalId":242585,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Methodology and Statistics","volume":"180 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132031106","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Those two problems could be mitigated by a thorough approach to the questionnaire design and by changing questionnaire elements that could have an impact on the questionnaire length and complexity levels. In the paper, the questionnaire length and complexity are quantified by observing survey times or the times that respondents need to complete the provided questionnaire. The questionnaire length and complexity levels have an impact on survey times and consequently on response rates. The aim of the paper is to investigate how different questionnaire lengths and complexity levels influence survey times. The selected questionnaire length and complexity determinants are observed using the case of two different questionnaire versions. Those questionnaire versions have been used in a business web survey of Croatian enterprises. The results have shown that on average the long questionnaire version is twice longer and 142% more complex than the short questionnaire version. However, due to the interaction effect of length and complexity determinants, the long questionnaire version has on average 119% higher questionnaire length and complexity level than the short questionnaire version. The analysis has shown that this increase of the questionnaire length and complexity had a different impact on enterprises with different characteristics. Furthermore, the increase of the questionnaire length and complexity level did not lead to a proportionate increase in survey time at the overall enterprises level.","PeriodicalId":242585,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Methodology and Statistics","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127666520","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On the contrary to the original Gower coefficient, which only recognizes if two categories match or not in the case of nominal variables, the examined modifications offer three different approaches to measuring the similarity between categories. The examined dissimilarity measures are compared and evaluated regarding the quality of their clusters measured by three internal indices (Dunn, silhouette, McClain) and regarding their classification abilities measured by the Rand index. The comparison is performed on 810 generated datasets. In the analysis, the performance of the similarity measures is evaluated by different data characteristics (the number of variables, the number of categories, the distance of clusters, etc.) and by different hierarchical clustering methods (average, complete, McQuitty and single linkage methods). As a result, two modifications are recommended for the use in practice.","PeriodicalId":242585,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Methodology and Statistics","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131877477","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This has applications in the area of nuclear physics, agriculture and economic when the researcher knows the coefficient of variation. The proposed confidence interval is based on the approximate expectation and variance of the estimator by Taylor series expansion. A Monte Carlo simulation study was conducted to compare the performance of the proposed confidence interval with the existing confidence interval. Simulation results show that the proposed confidence interval performs as well as the existing one in terms of coverage probability.
