Does government ideology influence budget composition? Empirical evidence from OECD countries (2010, background): “On ideology-induced education policy see also Iversen and Stephens (2008) .”
Labour market- versus life course-related social policies: understanding cross-programme differences (2012, background): “Following this advice, the emerging standard today is not to include unit fixed effects when also including theoretically important time-invariant variables (Gerring et al. 2005; Iversen and Stephens 2008).”
Vocational Education and Employment over the Life Cycle (2016, background): “…should be noted that coordination of employment relations as such is unlikely to offer an alternative explanation for a moderating effect of the vocational education sector, as there are multiple skill equilibria even within the category of coordinated market economies (Iversen and Stephens, 2008).”
Explaining the welfare state: power resources vs. the Quality of Government (2011, methodology): “In our evaluation of the debate, the latter three should be seen as complements and additions to PRT (see e.g. Iversen and Stephens, 2008), whereas the first has been thoroughly criticized elsewhere (Korpi, 2006; Paster, 2009). systematically produced decisions they thought of as hostile to their…”
Vocational Training and the Labour Market in Liberal and Coordinated Economies (2008, unknown): “We agree with Iversen and Stephens (2008) that a distinction has to be made between different types of coordinated market economies.”
Partisan Politics: The Empirical Evidence from OECD Panel Studies (2017, unknown): “Iversen and Stephens (2008) use active labor market spending per unemployed person, public education spending (as a share of GDP), public higher education spending (as a share of GDP), and day care spending (as a share of GDP) as the dependent variable.”
Welfare Regimes and Education Regimes: Equality of Opportunity and Expenditure in the EU (and US) (2013, background): “Perhaps because of this, it is not always recognised as part of the policy package of the welfare state, even though education and skills are considered by some to be at its core (Iversen and Stephens, 2008).”
Asset Specificity, Institutional Complementarities and the Variety of Skill Regimes in Coordinated Market Economies (2009, background): “…conservative welfare states with significantly lower levels of decommodification and welfare state generosity vement in VET and the education system in general are much stronger and firm involvement much more limited than in continental European CMEs (Busemeyer, 2007; Iversen and Stephens, 2008).”
Review Article: Comparative Political Science and the Study of Education (2011, background): “…and the vocational specificity of the education system as such.11 Busemeyer (2009a) identifies three distinct skill regimes in co-ordinated market economies that are, in part, reminiscent of the ‘three worlds of human capital formation’ (Iversen & Stephens 2008; see also Busemeyer & Nikolai 2010).”
