Research Interests:
Jann specializes in creating Stata modules for advanced statistical analysis, including geospatial mapping (geoplot), robust regression (robreg10), and inequality decomposition (oaxaca-blinder methods). His substantive work examines social inequality through economic and sociological lenses, analyzing how living costs and taxation systems impact income distribution in Switzerland. He also investigates educational transitions and gender disparities in STEM occupational choices through longitudinal studies like TREE2.
Recent Publications Trends:
Jann’s 15 most recent articles (2025-2023) demonstrate his focus on statistical software development for social science applications. Key contributions include methods for marginal odds ratios (2023), two-level model variance decomposition (2025), and list experiment analysis (2025). His empirical work connects statistical methodology to pressing social issues like gender wage gaps (2021) and teacher content knowledge in developing countries (2021).
