Abstract
The critics of our article concentrate mainly on the coefficients used and the misspecification of our model. Some of their arguments are du e to a misunderstanding of the tested hypothesis. Other arguments igno re the face that we reported the results of different techniques. Even if other coefficients and models are used, the supposed decline of pr edictive power of socio-demographic characteristics can be shown.
