演講摘要：
People’s life courses can be shaped by the social history, social structure, and welfare system of a country. The social history of Germany with its unification in 1990 provides a prime example for assessing life course differences between people who were born and grew up in the eastern and western parts of the country. Do East and West German men and women’s life courses really differ?How do we know they are different enough? This presentation discusses a new method for properly assessing life course differences by innovatively adapting and applying the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC), a popular method for model selection in sociology, and the Likelihood Ratio Test.
