... Section 2.4 lists the countries that provide the data for the empirical analysis reported in this chapter, describes the macro variables, defines the subset of the WFS data to be used in the analysis, and describes the micro variables employed e In Section 2.5, the operationalization of the micro-level model is illustrated with selected results for Peru and Korea. Section 2.6 reports the results of a macro analysis of micro coefficient variability, based on the discussion in Section 2.3, as well as on the extension and operationalization of the macro reasoning presented in Section 2,3.
