Brüderl, Josef und Diekmann, Andreas, (1995). The Log-Logistic Rate Model. Two
Generalizations With an Application to Demographic Data. Sociological Methods &
Research, 24, 2: 158-186.
Abstract: "The log-logistic distribution is widely used in event history analysis. It is
well-known that the log-logistic model is able to model social processes with monotonically
decreasing, as well as nonmonotonic, reversed U-type hazard rates. In this
article two three-parameter generalizations of the log-logistic model are introduced.
These generalizations are very flexible in describing a great variety of processes with
reversed U-type hazard rates. In addition, the first generalized model allows for separating
upward rate shifts (intensity effects) from horizontal rate shifts (timing effects).
With the second model it is possible to model immunity, that is, allow for the
fact that some persons might not have an event at all. The usefulness of these models
will be demonstrated by an application to demographic data from the United States
and Germany: The effects of education on marriage rates are analyzed. Finally, the
relationship between the proposed hazard rate models and certain social diffusion
processes is investigated." Die Autoren verwenden Daten der ALLBUS-Baseline-

Brüderl, Josef, Preisendörfer, Peter und Ziegler, Rolf, (1996). Der Erfolg neugegründeter
Betriebe. Eine empirische Studie zu den Chancen und Risiken von Unternehmensgründungen.
Berlin: Duncker & Humblot.
Abstract: In der Studie wird auf der Basis einer empirischen Erhebung zu Unternehmensgründungen
in der Region München und Oberbayern die Frage untersucht, von
welchen Faktoren der Erfolg von neugegründeten Kleinbetrieben abhängt. Einleitend
präsentieren die Autoren Ergebnisse eines Vergleichs des Sozialprofils von Unternehmensgründern
mit entsprechenden Werten der erwerbstätigen Bevölkerung. Hierzu
greifen sie auf Daten der ALLBUS-Befragungen von 1980-1990 zurück
Brüderl, Josef, (1997). Education and Marriage. A Comparative Study. Computerdatei.
Abstract: "This paper investigates how education affects marriage behavior in three
countries: the United States, West Germany, and the former East Germany. Following
family economics, we postulate that for woman a longer education decreases
marriage rates both during education (institution effect) and after the degree has been
obtained (human capital effect). For men family economics hypothesizes a delaying
institution effect as well, but the human capital effect should increase marriage rates.
