The effects of commuting and working from home arrangements on mental health
In this study, we quantify the effects of commuting time and working from home (WFH) arrangements on the mental health of Australian men and women. Leveraging rich panel-data models together with home-job-spell fixed effects, we first show that adverse effects of commuting time are modest in magnitude and manifest only among men with poor levels of mental health (0.01 SD decrease per 10-minute increase of commuting time). Second, we show that WFH…
Birth Order and Family Size of UK Biobank Subjects Identified as Asexual, Bisexual, Heterosexual, or Homosexual According to Self-Reported Sexual Histories
This study used a recently developed statistical technique to investigate the relations between various elements of a subject’s family background and the odds of that subject reporting a sexual history indicative of a minority sexual orientation. The subjects were 78,983 men and 92,150 women who completed relevant questionnaire items in the UK Biobank, a large-scale biomedical database of volunteers aged 40–69 years. The men were divided into thr…
A Current Approach to Logistic Regression Analysis of Birth Order and Sexual Orientation
Numerous statistical procedures have been developed to examine the statistical relations between quantifiable aspects of an individual’s sibship and the likelihood of that individual manifesting a homosexual preference. Our purpose in this methodological paper is explaining how to use and how to interpret the multiple regression approach introduced by Ablaza et al. (2022), modified by Blanchard (2022), and reorganized by Zdaniuk et al. (2025)—her…
Evidence of a Fraternal Birth Order Effect on Male and Female Same-Sex Marriage in the Dutch Population
Are Sibship Characteristics Predictive of Same Sex Marriage? An Examination of Fraternal Birth Order and Female Fecundity Effects in Population-level Administrative Data from the Netherlands
Despite historical increases in the number of individuals engaging in same-sex relations and entering same-sex unions, the causes of sexual orientation remain an open question. Two biological processes that have received some degree of empirical validation are the fraternal birth-order effect (FBOE) and the female-fecundity effect (FFE). Respectively, these processes posit that having a greater number of older brothers and being part of larger si…
Academic Achievement of Children in Same- and Different-Sex-Parented Families
Although numerous studies have examined how children raised in same-sex-parented families fare relative to children in different-sex-parented families, this body of work suffers from major methodological shortcomings. By leveraging linked administrative data from several population registers from the Netherlands covering the 2006–2018 period (n = 1,454,577), we overcome most methodological limitations affecting earlier research. The unique featur…
Happy Birthday, You're Fired! Effects of an Age-Dependent Minimum Wage on Youth Employment Flows in the Netherlands
The Dutch minimum wage for workers aged 15 to 23 is defined as a stepwise increasing function of a worker's calendar age. Using Dutch administrative records, the author shows that the birthday discontinuities of age-dependent minimum wage rates affect both labor market entry (job accessions) and labor market exit (job separations) of minimum wage workers. The job separations spike in the three months that precede workers' birthdays, suggesting th…
Daughters and Divorce
Are couples with daughters more likely to divorce than couples with sons? Using Dutch registry and US survey data, we show that couples with daughters face higher risks of divorce, but only when daughters are 13- to 18-years-old. These age-specific results run counter to explanations involving overarching, time-invariant preferences for sons and sex-selection into live birth. We propose another explanation that involves relationship strains in fa…
