1/2 Back from #PAA. Saw many sequence analysis applications — not all with great visualization. No need to overcomplicate: #TraMineR (base R) and #ggseqplot (CRAN update just out) offer solid tools for clear, appealing sequence data viz. @seqanalysisassn.bsky.social @popassocamerica.bsky.social

In our paper, we adapt @joannapepin.bsky.social's visualization of U.S. couples' money arrangements to the German context. Using German Family Panel data, we show how these arrangements vary by cohort and age group. Replication files + high-res plot: github.com/maraab23/Cou... #FReDA #pairfam
A plot illustrating cohort and age group differences in partnership and money arrangements among couples in Germany using data from the German Family Panel. The weighted distributions are shown as tile plots. Across cohorts, the share of couples that put all money together is decreasing. This is mainly driven by the changed behavior among married couples. Check out the full article for more details: https://doi.org/10.1177/237802312413014
