Guest Lecture: Interpretation of Statistical Analyses Using Quantities-of-Interest

Thomas Gschwend is Professor for Political Science, Quantitative Methods in the Social Sciences at the School of Social Sciences and a project director at the Mannheimer Zentrum für Europ?ische Sozialforschung. His substantive research focuses on electoral behavior, public opinion and comparative politics.

This lecture makes the case that social scientists should take their model results more seriously by using them to strengthen the substantive implications of their research. Raw regression coefficients, particularly in non-linear models, offer only limited substantive insights at best.
