Impact of Economic Shocks on Wellbeing

Economic ShocksMotu is using data from Statistics New Zealand’s longitudinal Survey of Family, Income and Employment (SoFIE) to examine how events, such as job loss and the onset of health problems, impact on individual and household wellbeing. 

In current work, Steve Stillman, John Gibson and collaborator Trinh Le are examining how individual and household wealth has changed over the first three years of the survey and how this relates to household characteristics.
