Abstract

In diesem Beitrag wird eine Regressionsanalyse vorgestellt, die die Einflüsse auf die Entscheidung verheirateter deutscher Frauen untersucht, eine Erwerbstätigkeit aufzunehmen. Um Differenzen im Verhalten von ost- und westdeutschen Frauen zu ermitteln, erfolgte die Untersuchung getrennt in zwei Datensätzen. Zur Vermeidung von Annahmen über die Art des Zusammenhanges wurde das Generalisierte Additive Modell (GAM) gewählt, ein semiparametrisches Regressionsmodell. Diese Modellform, die nichtparametrische und parametrische Regressionsmethoden in sich vereint, hat bisher wenig Verbreitung in der Praxis gefunden. Dies lag vor allem am Schätzverfahren, dem Backfitting. Seit etwa einem Jahr gibt es neue Ansätze, in dieser Modellform zu schätzen. Die analytischen Eigenschaften des neuen Schätzers lassen sich leichter bestimmen. Mit dieser Schätzung konnten Unterschiede zwischen Ost und West genau herausgearbeitet werden und die funktionalen Zusammenhänge zwischen Einflußvariablen und Antwortvariable untersucht werden. Die Analyse brachte deutliche Unterschiede im Erwerbsverhalten zwischen der Frauen beider Landesteile zum Vorschein.
