Fig. 8 Theoretical reservation wages by age and duration in unemployment (top panels) and by age and the size of accrued pension rights, in thousands of 2002 euros (bottom panels) Once the ERA approaches, the details of the pension norms (early retirement penalties, μ, and the size of minimum pensions, bmin) becomes a progressively more determining factor.
Finally, we complete the information in the text (the average predicted behavior by age in Figs. 3 and 4) by displaying the behavior when we simultaneously control for the duration of the unemployment spell h (Fig. 10) and for the size of accrued pension rights (Fig. 11).
Fig. 10 DATA (blue continuous line) vs. theoretical predictions (green, dashed line) conditional on the duration of the unemployment spell (short, h<3, vs long h=3) Fig. 11 DATA (blue continuous line) vs. theoretical predictions (green, dashed line) conditional on the size of accrued pension rights (from Low PR in the left column to high PR in the right column).
All colonoscopy requests issued during the study period will be collected systematically until the target sample size is accrued.
A possible solution to avoid randomising patients during this interval and the follow-up period is to suspend recruitment once the required sample size has accrued and then recommence it at the start of the next stage.
This allowed a relatively large sample size to accrue within a relatively short period of time.
Age, unemployment spell duration and the size of the accrued pension rights emerge as the fundamental predictors of behavior, as shown in Fig. 2, which provides a visual summary of the main behavioral regularities in the data.
Each graph has age on the horizontal axis and two lines corresponding either to a partition of the sample according to the duration of the unemployment spell (h) (on the left-hand panels) or to the size of the accrued pension rights, (hat {w}) (on the right-hand panels).
Conventional meta-analysis does not take into consideration the information size, the number of accrued events, and the effect size and the inference depends on the test for significance and the confidence interval, which can often be spuriously narrow.
