We are focusing on three concepts – reciprocal motives, personality traits and wage differences – to explain job satisfaction and production sector affiliation. Estimation results obtained from multivariate analyses on individual level data from the German Socio-economic Panel Study (GSOEP) can be summarized in three points: First, in contrast to reciprocal motives, personality traits have a unique and direct effect on public and private sector employees’ job satisfaction. Second, even though we cannot proof that public employees at the high-end of the earnings distribution trade a loss in pecuniary benefits against an increase in non-pecuniary benefits, the empirical analysis strongly supports the notion that public employees’ job satisfaction function varies across the earnings distribution. Finally, public employees’ personal characteristics can be associated with lower levels of negative reciprocity, conscientiousness and neuroticism, pointing out to a potential self-selection and recruitment bias in the public sector. http://www.sfb597.uni-bremen.de/pages/download.php?ID=172&SPRACHE=en&TABLE=AP&TYPE=PDF SOEP GB 6324 Erdmann, Vera, Plünnecke, Axel, Riesen, Ilona and Stettes, Oliver 2010 Bildungsmonitor 2010: Bessere Bildung trotz Haushaltskonsolidierung – Die Chancen des demografischen Wandels nutzen Forschungsbericht des Instituts der deutschen Wirtschaft Köln im Auftrag der Initiative Neue Soziale Marktwirtschaft (INSM) Köln IW Köln Report cross-sectional 33 Other Grey Literature education http://www.iwkoeln.de/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=LglmHnXg6NY%3d&tabit=252 SOEP D 6323 Rasner, Anika, Frick, Joachim R. and Grabka, Markus M. 2010 Extending the Empirical Basis for Wealth Inequality Research Using Statistical Matching of Administrative and Survey Data Paper Prepared for the 31st General Conference of The International Association for Research in Income and Wealth Manuscript longitudinal 52 Speech Manuscript income and poverty, transfer systems Wealth inequality, statistical matching, public pension entitlements, SOEP Social security entitlements are a substantial source of wealth that grows in importance over the individual’s lifecycle. Despite its quantitative relevance, social security wealth has been thus far omitted from wealth inequality analyses. In Germany, it is the lack of adequate micro data that accounts for this shortcoming. The two main contributions of this paper are: First, to elaborate a statistical matching approach that complements information on net worth as surveyed in the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP), a population representative panel study, with information on social security wealth from the Sample of Active Pension Accounts (SAPA), a large-scale administrative dataset maintained by the German Statutory Pension Insurance. Second, we show to what extent the inclusion of social security wealth affects the level and the distribution of individual net worth as well as overall inequality. The present value of pension entitlements (including entitlements from the statutory pension system as well as from the separate system for civil servants) amounts to 5.6 trillion Euros, which corresponds to an average of 78,500 Euros per person – thus almost doubling the level of net worth. Compared to results based on net worth only, inequality of our amended wealth measure is about 25 percent less. Moreover, we present significant differences in pension entitlements across occupational groups with civil servants gaining most from the inclusion of public pension wealth in the extended wealth measure and self-employed benefiting the least. Overall, our results provide clear indication for the relevance of including the notional wealth held in pension entitlements providing a less biased picture of the level and the socio-economic structure of wealth in Germany. Above and beyond such within-country variation, our findings may also be most relevant for comparative analyses across welfare-regimes. http://www.iariw.org/papers/2010/2bRasner.pdf SOEP GB 6322 Damioli, Giacomo 2010 How and Why the Dynamics of Poverty Differ Across European Countries Paper Prepared for the 31st General Conference of The International Association for Research in Income and Wealth Manuscript longitudinal 52 Speech Manuscript income and poverty, international comparison poverty dynamics, decomposition, duration analysis, European countries In a duration analysis framework, I develop a method in the spirit of the popular Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition that allows disentangling the cross-country differences in measures of poverty dynamics in the contribution due to differences in the distribution of characteristics and the contribution due to differences in the poverty dynamics generating process. I illustrate this with the comparison of ten European countries in the second half of the 1990s. Despite remarkable differences in the composition of the working-age population, the results of the analysis show that cross-country variation in poverty dynamics measures is mainly determined by differences in the poverty dynamics generating process rather than by the heterogeneity in population composition. Since the age of the household head and household living arrangements show the most varied effects among the explanatory variables, the results of the paper point out family related policies as one of the main driver of poverty dynamics heterogeneity. http://www.iariw.org/papers/2010/6dDamioli.pdf ECHP GB 6321 Rohde, Nicholas, Tang, Kam Ki and Rao, D.S. Prasada 2010 Measuring Income Insecurity: Analysis of Income Data from the United States, Britain and Germany Paper Prepared for the 31st General Conference of The International Association for Research in Income and Wealth Manuscript longitudinal 52 Speech Manuscript income and poverty, international comparison This paper seeks to measure and compare income insecurity in the United States, Great Britain and Germany using household income data from the Cross National Equivalence File (CNEF). As definitive techniques for measuring insecurity are yet to be established we present an explorative methodology based upon the volatility of incomes. Though imperfect, the method is well established in the fields of decision theory and inequality measurement and captures some important aspects of what may constitute income insecurity. Applying this technique we find that insecurity in the United States from 1990 to 2005 was substantially higher than in Great Britain and Germany, which were roughly comparable in several respects. We also measure the extent to which governmental taxes and transfers absorbed household insecurity and nd that all three governments insulated households from similar levels in absolute terms. In relative terms however the German government absorbed around 80% of measured insecurity, the British government around 75% and the United States government less than 45%. Lastly we investigate the joint distribution of income insecurity and income and nd that it was predominantly distributed amongst lower income earners for Britain and Germany, while in the United States it follows a distinct `U' shape with very high insecurity levels for low and high income earners and lower insecurity levels for middle income earners. We argue that the distribution of insecurity has important implications for welfare and inequality. http://www.iariw.org/papers/2010/8dTang.pdf CNEF GB 6320 Stüber, Heiko and Beissinger, Thomas 2010 Does Downward Nominal Wage Rigidity Dampen Wage Increases? IZA DP No. 5126 Bonn Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) Report mentions of the SOEP study 30 Discussion Paper Focusing on the compression of wage cuts, many empirical studies find a high degree of downward nominal wage rigidity (DNWR). However, the resulting macroeconomic effects seem to be surprisingly weak. This contradiction can be explained within an intertemporal framework in which DNWR not only prevents nominal wage cuts but also induces firms to compress wage increases. We analyze whether a compression of wage increases occurs when DNWR is binding by applying Unconditional Quantile Regression and Seemingly Unrelated Regression to a data set comprising more than 169 million wage changes. We find evidence for a compression of wage increases and only very small effects of DNWR on average real wage growth. The results indicate that DNWR does not provide a strong argument against low inflation targets. http://ftp.iza.org/dp5126.pdf GB 6319 Beznoska, Martin and Ochmann, Richard 2010 Household Savings Decision and Income Uncertainty DIW Discussion Paper No. 1046 Berlin DIW Berlin Report cross-sectional 31 DIW Discussion Paper income and poverty, consumption / assets / habitation Consumption-savings decision, interest rate elasticity of savings, income uncertainty This paper empirically investigates the effects of changes in the interest rate as well as transitory income uncertainty on households' consumption-savings decision. Applying a structural demand model to German survey data, we estimate the uncompensated interest rate elasticity for savings, in line with the literature, to around zero. Accordingly, any policy-induced variation of net returns to savings is expected to have no significant effects on the level of savings. Moreover, we find significant effects of precautionary savings on the consumption-savings decision. As a result of a doubling of transitory income uncertainty, an average household increases savings by 4:4%. These effects vary by household composition and social status. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.359312.de/dp1046.pdf SOEP GB 6318 Liebig, Stefan, Valet, Peter and Schupp, Jürgen 2010 Perceived Income Justice Depends on the Economy Weekly Report 6 24 187-192 Journal Article 05 DIW Weekly Report subjective indicator Justice, SOEP, Inequality At least half of all employees in Germany described their wages in all three survey years under consideration here - 2005, 2007, and 2009 - as just. Still, major changes occurred over this period in how people perceived their earnings. Data from the Socio- Economic Panel (SOEP) Study show that after an increase in income dissatisfaction in 2007, the percentage of the population who consider their income unjust has again decreased substantially in 2009 - at 30 percent - to 2005 levels. This suggests that in times of economic crisis, people are willing to lower their earnings expectations, while in times of economic growth - like the year 2007 - they expect to share in the benefits of increased prosperity. The analysis shows that it was mainly people in the low to medium income range and in particular skilled workers who perceived their net income as unjust, a perception that remained stable over time. This is partly due to the income taxes paid by these groups. In the upper income segment, in contrast, no negative effect of the income tax burden on perceived income justice is found. Finally, the results confirm previous studies indicating that even in a world in which everyone received the wages they subjectively perceived to be fair, income differences between men and women would still persist. Women's income expectations are significantly lower than men's - even within the individual occupational groups. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.359272.de/diw_wr_2010-24.pdf SOEP GB 6317 Metz, Rainer 2010 40 Zeitreihenanalyse Christof Wolf, Henning Best Handbuch der sozialwissenschaftlichen Datenanalyse Wiesbaden VS Verlag für Sozialwissenschaften 1053-1090 Book Section mentions of the SOEP study 20 Book Section D 6316 Scherer, Stefani and Brüderl, Josef 2010 39 Sequenzdatenanalyse Christof Wolf, Henning Best Handbuch der sozialwissenschaftlichen Datenanalyse Wiesbaden VS Verlag für Sozialwissenschaften 1031-1051 Book Section methodological 20 Book Section methods Eine Sequenz ist eine geordnete Liste von Elementen.

Es liegt daher nahe, als grundlegende Analyseebene von Veränderungsprozessen das sich verändernde Individuum zu wählen (Schmiedek & Lindenberger 2007). Um einerseits individuellen Unterschieden in Veränderungen mit ausreichender Flexibilität gerecht zu werden, andererseits aber auch mittlere Veränderungen beschreiben und statistisch testen zu können, haben sich in den letzten Jahren Verfahren zur Veränderungsmessung etabliert, in denen sogenannte feste und zufällige Effekte (fixed und random effects) kombiniert werden. Die festen Effekte repräsentieren die mittleren Veränderungen und die zufälligen Effekte individuelle Abweichungen von diesen. Zu diesen Verfahren zählen sowohl Mehrebenenmodelle (Multilevel models bzw. Mixed models) als auch latente Wachstumskurvenmodelle (Latent growth curve models; LGMs). Beide Verfahren sind in vielerlei Hinsicht konzeptuell verwandt oder sogar formal identisch. Da LGMs als Strukturgleichungsmodelle (Structural equation models; SEMs) formuliert und geschätzt werden, bieten sie jedoch eine enorme Flexibilität in Bezug auf Erweiterungen verschiedenster Art. Dazu gehören Möglichkeiten der Untersuchung multivariater Veränderungsprozesse, der Einsatz von komplexen Messmodellen für abhängige und unabhängige Variablen sowie Mehrgruppen- und latente Klassenmodelle zur Untersuchung von Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschieden von Veränderungen in verschiedenen a priori definierten oder explorativ identifizierten Populationen. Weiterhin lassen sich latente Veränderungsmodelle (Latent change models; LCMs) formulieren, in denen latente Wachstumsmodelle flexibel mit autoregressiven Prozessen verknüpft werden können."

In diesen Verfahren erfolgt die Drittvariablenkontrolle durch Konstruktion statistischer Vergleichsgruppen, die in Bezug auf relevante Hintergrundfaktoren weitgehend identisch sind. In der praktischen Anwendung dominiert das Propensity score matching, das eine einfache Vergleichsgruppenbildung innerhalb eines eindimensionalen Merkmalsraums ermöglicht. Die empirische Analyse erfolgt dabei in drei Schritten: zunächst ist ein Zuweisungsmodell zu entwickeln, das die Verteilung des Kausalfaktors in Abhängigkeit von theoretisch relevanten Kovariaten beschreibt. Über die aus dem Zuweisungsmodell vorhergesagten Propensity scores wird anschließend durch den Einsatz verschiedener Matchingalgorithmen die Balancierung der Hintergrundkovariaten in den Vergleichsgruppen der Untersuchung angestrebt. Ist diese erreicht, erfolgt die eigentliche Schätzung der interessierenden kausalen Effekte durch den nichtparametrischen Vergleich der Ereignisverteilungen in den Experimental- und Kontrollstichproben. Auf die Annahme eines vollständigen Erklärungsmodells für die abhängige Variable der Analyse wird dabei verzichtet. Matchingverfahren stellen insgesamt eine Alternative zu gängigen Regressionsmodellen dar, die kausale Effekte unter vergleichsweise sparsamen statistischen Annahmen abschätzen. Ähnlich wie in konventionellen Regressionsanalysen hängt die Validität der Effektschätzungen jedoch entscheidend davon ab, ob der kausal wirksame Faktor und die Ergebnisgröße unter Kontrolle der verfügbaren Kovariaten aus theoretischer Sicht als unabhängig betrachtet werden können. SOEP D 6312 Geiser, Christian and Eid, Michael 2010 14 Item-Response-Theorie Christof Wolf, Henning Best Handbuch der sozialwissenschaftlichen Datenanalyse Wiesbaden VS Verlag für Sozialwissenschaften 311-332 Book Section methodological 20 Book Section methods "Dieses Kapitel gibt einen Überblick über die wichtigsten Modelle und Methoden der Item-Response-Theorie (IRT). Die IRT stellt Modelle zur psychometrischen Analyse und Skalierung von Test- und Fragebogenitems insbesondere mit nominalem und ordinalem Skalenniveau zur Verfügung. Als eines der einfachsten und bekanntesten IRT-Modelle wird zunächst das Rasch-Modell (1-parametriges logistisches Modell) für dichotome Items vorgestellt. Im Rasch-Modell wird angenommen, dass alle Items einer Skala oder eines Tests dieselbe latente Dimension (z. B. Fähigkeit, Einstellung, Persönlichkeitseigenschaft) mit unterschiedlichen Itemschwierigkeiten aber jeweils identischer Trennschärfe erfassen. Wichtige Eigenschaften sind die spezifische Objektivität der Messungen, wenn das Rasch-Modell für einen Itemsatz gilt, sowie die Tatsache, dass der ungewichtete Summenscore der Items bei Gültigkeit des Rasch-Modells eine suffiziente Statistik für den Personenparameter darstellt. Mögliche Gründe für eine Fehlanpassung des Rasch-Modells in der Praxis werden diskutiert. Anschließend werden das Birnbaum-Modell (2-parametriges logistisches Modell), in welchem die Annahme gleicher Trennschärfen aller Items aufgehoben wird, und das Birnbaum-Modell mit Rateparameter (3-parametriges logistisches Modell), in welchem zusätzlich die Ratewahrscheinlichkeit berücksichtigt wird, besprochen. In den folgenden Abschnitten wird auf Weiterentwicklungen des Rasch-Modells eingegangen. Exemplarisch werden Rasch-Modelle für mehrstufig geordnet kategoriale (ordinale) Items sowie Mischverteilungsmodelle (Mixed-Rasch-Modell) behandelt. In einer empirischen Anwendung auf sechs dichotome Testitems zur Messung der Fähigkeit zur ""mentalen Rotation"" (N = 519) zeigen wir, wie mit Hilfe des Computerprogramms WINMIRA die Modellparameter, Fitstatistiken für das Rasch-Modell und das Mixed-Rasch-Modell geschätzt werden können. In diesem Anwendungsbeispiel zeigt sich, dass das einfache Rasch-Modell aufgrund unterschiedlicher Lösungsstrategien in Subgruppen schlechter passt als ein 2-Klassen-Mixed-Rasch-Modell, in welchem sich die Itemparameter für zwei latente Klassen unterscheiden können. Eine zweite Anwendung (drei 7-stufige Items zur Erfassung von Offenheit aus dem SOEP; N = 2036) illustriert, wie Mischverteilungs-IRT-Modelle dazu genutzt werden können, a priori unbekannte Personengruppen zu identifizieren, die sich hinsichtlich der Nutzung der Ratingskala unterscheiden. Im vorliegenden Fall zeigt sich, dass nur ca. 65 % der Befragten die vorgegebene 7-stufige Ratingskala in der intendierten Weise verwendet haben. Die restlichen 35 % der Befragten verwendeten die Skala dagegen nur eingeschränkt mit einer Tendenz zu den Extremkategorien sowie zur Mittelkategorie der Skala. Abschließend wird auf praktische Aspekte und besondere Probleme bei der Durchführung von IRT-Analysen eingegangen. " SOEP D 6311 Spiess, Martin 2010 6 Der Umgang mit fehlenden Werten Christof Wolf, Henning Best Handbuch der sozialwissenschaftlichen Datenanalyse Wiesbaden VS Verlag für Sozialwissenschaften 117-142 Book Section methodological 20 Book Section methods Dieser Beitrag behandelt zwei breit einsetzbare Techniken zur Kompensation fehlender Werte: Die Gewichtung, die im Wesentlichen zur Kompensation fehlender Einheiten eingesetzt wird, und die Methode der multiplen Imputation, die im Wesentlichen zur Kompensation fehlender Werte von ansonsten beobachteten Einheiten verwendet wird. Die der Gewichtung zugrunde liegende Idee basiert darauf, dass diejenigen Einheiten mit einer geringeren Beobachtungswahrscheinlichkeit relativ zu jenen mit einer höheren Beobachtungswahrscheinlichkeit höher gewichtet werden. Bei der Methode der multiplen Imputation werden für jeden fehlenden Wert mehrere plausible Werte erzeugt, in deren Variation sich die mit diesen Schätzungen verknüpfte Unsicherheit widerspiegelt. Um die Einsatzmöglichkeiten beider Techniken, aber auch deren Grenzen beleuchten zu können, wird zunächst eine Einführung in die gängige Klassifikation der Mechanismen vorgestellt, die es erlaubt, zwischen Ignorierbarkeit und Nicht-Ignorierbarkeit des Missingmechanismus zu unterscheiden. Dieser Unterscheidung kommt eine wichtige Bedeutung zu, denn bei Ignorierbarkeit kann auf die fehleranfällige Modellierung des Missingmechanismus verzichtet werden. In weiteren Abschnitten werden die Methode der Gewichtung und die Methode der multiplen Imputation sowie deren Voraussetzungen ausführlich dargestellt und diskutiert. Dabei wird weitgehend davon ausgegangen, dass der Missingmechanismus ignorierbar ist. Sowohl die Gewichtung als auch die multiple Imputation können prinzipiell aber auch dann eingesetzt werden, wenn der Missingmechanismus nicht ignorierbar ist. In der Anwendung ist dies allerdings problematisch, denn in solchen Fällen wird Information von außerhalb der Stichprobe benötigt, etwa in Form von starken Annahmen, Restriktionen oder Daten. Diese steht jedoch oft nicht zur Verfügung. Der Einsatz beider Methoden wird anhand eines Beispiels veranschaulicht, nämlich der Schätzung einer Einkommensgleichung für Frauen. Zur Kompensation fehlender Personen werden die mit dem verwendeten Datensatz ausgelieferten Gewichte verwendet. Einzelne fehlende Werte werden mit Hilfe einer frei verfügbaren Software mehrfach imputiert.

Die Gründe, warum Menschen zu Rauchern werden, sind hingegen nicht so offenkundig. Der vorliegende Bericht untersucht den Zusammenhang von Familienform und Rauchverhalten von jungen Menschen in Deutschland auf Basis der Daten des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP). Eines der zentralen Ergebnisse: Jugendliche und junge Erwachsene aus Alleinerzieher-Haushalten haben ein deutlich höheres Risiko, Raucher zu werden sowie früher mit dem Rauchen anzufangen als solche aus sogenannten traditionellen Familien. Auch die Intensität des Tabakkonsums hängt von der Familienform ab - Personen, die in Alleinerzieher-Haushalten aufwachsen, rauchen im Durchschnitt mehr Zigaretten pro Tag. Besonders wichtig ist dabei, wie die Alleinerziehung zustande kam und in welchem Alter sie einsetzte: Eine Scheidung der Eltern erhöht das Risiko zu rauchen am stärksten, wohingegen das Aufwachsen mit einer alleinerziehenden Mutter oder der Tod des Vaters während der Kindheit keine statistisch signifikante Rolle spielen. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.359408.de/10-34.pdf SOEP D 6307 Frick, Joachim R., Grabka, Markus M. and Marcus, Jan 2010 Editing und multiple Imputation der Vermögensinformation 2002 und 2007 im SOEP DIW Berlin Data Documentation 51 Berlin DIW Berlin Report methodological 35 Other DIW Publication comsumption / assets / habitation, method http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.359703.de/diw_datadoc_2010-051.pdf SOEP D 6306 Kroh, Martin 2010 Documentation of Sample Sizes and Panel Attrition in the German Socio Economic Panel (SOEP) (1984 until 2009) DIW Berlin Data Documentation 50 Berlin DIW Berlin Report methodological 35 Other DIW Publication methods http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.359697.de/diw_datadoc_2010-050.pdf SOEP GB 6305 Beninger, Denis, Bonin, Holger, Horstschräer, Julia and Mühler, Grit 2010 Wirkungen eines Betreuungsgeldes bei bedarfsgerechtem Ausbau frühkindlicher Kindertagesbetreuung: Eine Mikrosimulationsstudie ZEW Discussion Paper No. 10-057 Mannheim Centre for European Economic Research (ZEW) 2010: SOEPpaper 316.

Wir schätzen mit SOEP-Daten und unter Berücksichtigung partiell beobachtbarer Rationierungen im Betreuungsbereich ein strukturelles Modell, in dem Eltern simultan über den Umfang des Arbeitsangebots, den Umfang externer Betreuung und die Intensität der Kinderbetreuung in der Familie entscheiden. Simulationen auf Grundlage der geschätzten Modellparameter ergeben, dass ein Betreuungsgeld das Arbeitsangebot und die Nachfrage nach externen Betreuungsangeboten spürbar verringert. Für sich betrachtet wirkt der Ausbau der Kindertagesbetreuung bei beiden Zielgrößen in die umgekehrte Richtung. Im Gesamteffekt beider Maßnahmen fallen sowohl das Arbeitsangebot als auch die Inanspruchnahme von Betreuung außerhalb der Familie. Zwar verbessert sich die Einkommensposition bildungsferner Familien, ein Betreuungsgeld behindert bei dieser Gruppe aber die Nutzung externer frühkindlicher Bildungsangebote. ftp://ftp.zew.de/pub/zew-docs/dp/dp10057.pdf SOEP D 6304 Krebs, Tom and Scheffel, Martin 2010 A Macroeconomic Model for the Evaluation of Labor Market Reforms ZEW Discussion Paper No. 10-050 Mannheim Centre for European Economic Research (ZEW) Report citation of SOEP results Dynamic General Equilibrium, Heterogenous Agents, Human Capital, Labor Market Search, Unemployment Insurance, German Labor Market Reform The empirical literature documents a substantial and rising amount of labor income risk, in particular, employment risk. In most countries, the government provides insurance against this type of risk through the payment of unemployment benefits. Other things being equal, the provision of unemployment insurance increases the welfare of risk-averse households. However, unemployment benefits also discourage unemployed households from exerting search effort thereby raising the overall unemployment rate. When employment drops, so does aggregate output. In designing the unemployment insurance system, governments therefore have to weigh the insurance benefits against the costs of distorted incentives. The latest major labor market reforms in Germany (Hartz Reforms) became effective in 2005 and 2006. The 2005-reform reduced the benefit payments for long-term unemployed households while the 2006-reform shortened the eligibility period for high benefit payments. Both reforms aimed at putting more weight on the incentive side of the unemployment benefit system. While the effect on the employment rate and production is unambiguously positive, it is due to the loss of insurance a priori not clear, how the new system is valued by the people. The valuation of these reforms, the so called welfare effect, is the ultimate performance measure of labor market reforms from the perspective of the society and can only be computed on the theory-based macroeconomic model. The purpose of this paper is to develop a tractable macroeconomic model, and to use a calibrated version of the model to evaluate the quantitative effects of the Hartz Reforms on unemployment, growth, and welfare. We find that first, the 2005-reform had ceteris paribus large employment effects: the equilibrium unemployment rate has been reduced by approximately 1.1 percentage points from 7.5 to 6.4 percent. Second, the drop in unemployment has led to substantial output gains. Third, employed and short-term unemployed households experienced a significant welfare gain, that is, the positive incentive effect dominates the negative insurance effect. However, the long-term unemployed have lost in welfare terms. Fourth, the effects of the 2006-reform are qualitatively similar, but quantitatively much smaller. Finally, a further decrease in the benefit rate leads only to small additional welfare gains. ftp://ftp.zew.de/pub/zew-docs/dp/dp10050.pdf GB 6303 Trischler, Falko and Kistler, Ernst 2010 Gute Erwerbsbiographien: Arbeitsbedingungen und Erwerbsverlauf Arbeitspapier 2 zum Forschungsprojekt Gute Erwerbsbiographien Stadtbergen Internationales Institut für Empirische Sozialökonomie (inifes) Report longitudinal 33 Other Grey Literature labour http://www.boeckler.de/pdf_fof/S-2009-236-3-3.pdf SOEP D 6302 o.V. 2010 Beschäftigung: Schlechte Arbeitsbedingungen - Ballast fürs ganze Leben Böcklerimpuls 12/2010 4-5 Magazine Article 62 Professional Newsletter http://www.boeckler.de/pdf/impuls_2010_12_4-5.pdf D 6301 o.V. 2010 Einkommen: Die Kluft wächst Böcklerimpuls 11/2010 2 Magazine Article longitudinal 62 Professional Newsletter http://www.boeckler.de/pdf/impuls_2010_11_2.pdf D 6300 o.V. 2010 Gender: Frauen sorgen fürs Geld - und die Familie Böcklerimpuls11/2010 6-7 Magazine Article cross-sectional 62 Professional Newsletter "income and poverty; gender" http://www.boeckler.de/pdf/impuls_2010_11_6-7.pdf SOEP D 6299 Noll, Heinz-Herbert and Weick, Stefan 2010 Materielle Lebensbedingungen prägen Lebenszufriedenheit in Deutschland stärker als in anderen Ländern: Analysen zum subjektiven Wohlbefinden Informationsdienst Soziale Indikatoren 44 5-10 Journal Article longitudinal 04 Other Journal subjective indicator http://www.gesis.org/fileadmin/upload/forschung/publikationen/zeitschriften/isi/isi-44.pdf "SOEP; ESS" D 6298 Erlinghagen, Marcel 2010 Zunehmende Angst vor Jobverlust trotz gleichbleibender Beschäftigungsstabilität Informationsdienst Soziale Indikatoren 44 1-4 Journal Article longitudinal 04 Other Journal labour, subjective indicators Dank Flexibilisierung der Arbeitszeiten und großzügiger Regelungen zur Kurzarbeit hat die aktuelle Wirtschaftskrise bisher am deutschen Arbeitsmarkt erfreulich geringe Spuren hinterlassen. Dennoch kann man annehmen, dass sich viele Arbeitnehmer Sorgen über ihre berufliche Zukunft machen. Derzeit liegen noch keine Daten vor, die eine Beantwortung der Frage erlauben würden, ob diese Angst derzeit größer ist als in früheren Rezessionen. Die Betrachtung der langfristigen Entwicklung erweist sich jedoch als aufschlussreich. Dabei soll neben der subjektiven Beschäftigungsunsicherheit auch die Dauerhaftigkeit von Beschäftigungsverhältnissen (Stabilität) als objektivierbarer Indikator zur Beschreibung des Arbeitsmarktgeschehens betrachtet werden. Die in diesem Beitrag dargestellten Analysen basieren im Wesentlichen auf den Daten des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP).2 Die Befunde zeigen, dass die Beschäftigungsstabilität in Deutschland langfristig nicht generell abnimmt, sondern erstaunlich stabil bleibt. Gleichzeitig aber offenbart sich in den letzten Jahren eine deutliche Zunahme der Angst vor Jobverlust. Nach der Präsentation der empirischen Befunde diskutiert der Beitrag daher die Gründe für diese scheinbar paradoxe Entwicklung, in dem der Zusammenhang zwischen dem Ausmaß der Beschäftigungsunsicherheit einerseits und der Arbeitslosenquote und der Einkommensungleichheit in Deutschland untersucht werden. Dabei ergeben sich Hinweise darauf, dass die zunehmende Wahrnehmung von Beschäftigungsunsicherheit in Deutschland mit den tiefgreifenden sozialpolitischen Veränderungen der vergangenen Jahre in Verbindung stehen könnte. http://www.gesis.org/fileadmin/upload/forschung/publikationen/zeitschriften/isi/isi-44.pdf SOEP D 6297 Specht, Jule, Egloff, Boris and Schmukle, Stefan C. 2010 The Benefits of Believing in Chance or Fate: External Locus of Control as a Protective Factor for Coping with the Death of a Spouse Social Psychological and Personality Science (accepted) Journal Article 51 Manuscript subjective indicators locus of control, life satisfaction, latent growth model, subjective well-being The death of a spouse is an extremely stressful life event that consequently causes a large drop in life satisfaction. Reactivity to the loss, however, varies markedly, a phenomenon that is currently not well understood. Because lack of controllability essentially contributes to the stressful nature of this incident, we analyzed whether individual differences in the belief in external control influence the coping process. To examine this issue, widowed individuals (N = 414) from a large-scaled panel study were followed for the 4 years before and after the loss by using a latent growth model. Results showed that belief in external control led to a considerably smaller decline in life satisfaction and higher scores in the year of the loss. Thus, although usually regarded as a risk factor, belief in external control seems to act as a protective factor for coping with the death of a spouse.

From a theoretical point of view this practice is contentious since a household’s command over resources is determined not only by its spending power over commodities it can buy in the market but also on resources available to the household members through non-market mechanisms such as the in-kind provisions of the welfare state and the value of private non-cash incomes. In developed market economies the most important private non-cash income component is imputed rent from owner-occupied or subsidized accommodation. Employing a wider definition of imputed rent that also allows the analyst to capture income advantages among tenants living in rent-subsidized accommodations of various sorts (including rent-free or reduced-rent households), the present paper examines the differential effects of including imputed rents in the concept of resources in five European countries (Belgium, Germany, Greece, Italy and the UK). The results suggest that in almost all cases, the inclusion of imputed rents in the concept of resources leads to a decline in measured levels of inequality and poverty. The main beneficiaries are outright homeowners and households living in rent-free (or heavily subsidized) accommodation—most often older persons. The inclusion of imputed rents in the concept of resources does not lead to substantial changes in the ranking of the countries according to their level of inequality, despite widespread differences in the rates of home ownership and subsidization across the countries studied here.

Unfortunately, this conventional measure does not capture “second order” effects whereby income guarantees arising from public pensions make it less necessary for people to save for their retirement, rendering the “pre-government” counterfactual to the observed post-government distribution unrealistic. In addressing this problem, we offer an alternative to the conventional direct redistribution measure that considers claims to future income generated by both the public and the private sectors. Data have been calculated for 51 country-years from household income surveys available from the Luxembourg Income Study. http://www.lisproject.org/publications/liswps/546.pdf LIS GB 6294 Brady, David, Fullerton, Andrew and Moren Cross, Jennifer 2010 More than just Nickels and Dimes: A Cross-National Analysis of Working Poverty in Affluent Democracies Luxembourg Income Study Working Paper No. 545 Luxembourg Luxembourg Income Study (LIS) Report cross-sectional 30 Discussion Paper income and poverty, international comparison working poverty, international comparison "Despite its centrality to contemporary inequality, working poverty is often popularly discussed but rarely studied by sociologists. Using the Luxembourg Income Study, we analyze whether an individual is working poor across 18 affluent democracies circa 2000. We demonstrate that working poverty does not simply mirror overall poverty and that there is greater cross-national variation in working than overall poverty. We then examine four explanations for working poverty: demographic characteristics, economic performance, unified theory, and welfare generosity. We utilize Heckman probit models to jointly model the likelihood of employment and poverty among the employed. Our analyses provide the least support for the economic performance explanation. There is modest support for unified theory as unionization reduces working poverty in some models. However, most of these effects appear to be mediated by welfare generosity. More substantial evidence exists for the demographic characteristics and welfare generosity explanations. An individual’s likelihood of being working poor can be explained by a) a lack of multiple earners or other adults in one’s household, low education, single motherhood, having children and youth; and b) the generosity of the welfare state in which he or she resides. Also, welfare generosity does not undermine employment and reduces working poverty even among demographically vulnerable groups. Ultimately, we encourage a greater role for the welfare state in debates about working poverty." http://www.lisproject.org/publications/liswps/545.pdf LIS GB 6293 Misra, Joya, Budig, Michelle J. and Böckmann, Irene 2010 Cross-National Patterns in Individual and Household Employment and Work Hours by Gender and Parenthood Luxembourg Income Study Working Paper No. 544 Luxembourg Luxembourg Income Study (LIS) Report cross-sectional 30 Discussion Paper Gender, labour, family and networks, international comparison gender, family structure, motherhood, employment, international comparison http://www.lisproject.org/publications/liswps/544.pdf LIS GB 6292 Misra, Joya, Budig, Michelle J. and Böckmann, Irene 2010 Work-Family Policies and the Effects of Children on Women's Employment and Earnings Luxembourg Income Study Working Paper No. 543 Luxembourg Luxembourg Income Study (LIS) Report cross-sectional 30 Discussion Paper Gender, income and poverty, family and networks, international comparison work-family policies, motherhood, employment, income, international comparison http://www.lisproject.org/publications/liswps/543.pdf LIS GB 6291 Budig, Michelle J., Misra, Joya and Böckmann, Irene 2010 The Motherhood Penalty in Cross-National Perspective: The Importance of Work-Family Policies and Cultural Attitudes Luxembourg Income Study Working Paper No. 542 Luxembourg Luxembourg Income Study (LIS) Report cross-sectional 30 Discussion Paper gender, income and poverty, labour, family and networks, international comparison motherhood penalty, work-family policies, cultural attitudes, international comparison Mothers’ employment and earnings partly depend on social policies and cultural norms supporting work-family balance. While policies regarding parental leave and childcare may assist families in combining work and care, are these policies related to the economic penalties for motherhood? Using original social policy data with micro data from the Luxembourg Income Study, we examine relationships between specific policies and the motherhood earnings penalty. We consider how penalties vary across 22 countries, and how particular social policies link to motherhood penalties. Using data from the ISSP, we also show motherhood penalties are smaller where cultural attitudes supporting maternal employment are stronger. http://www.lisproject.org/publications/liswps/542.pdf LIS GB 6290 Chadi, Adrian 2010 How to Distinguish Voluntary from Involuntary Unemployment: On the Relationship between the Willingness to Work and Unemployment-Induced Unhappiness Kyklos 63 3 317-329 10.1111/j.1467-6435.2010.00476.x Journal Article longitudinal 02 SSCI Journal labour, subjective indicators Studies investigating the determinants of happiness show that unemployment causes high distress for most affected persons. Researchers conclude that the amount of this disutility demonstrates the involuntariness of unemployment. This paper applies the happiness research approach to German panel data in order to revive the underlying economic question of whether unemployment is voluntary or involuntary. Accordingly, the decline in life satisfaction associated with unemployment is related to the willingness to work. The results of the econometric investigation indicate a very strong connection between unemployment-induced disutility and willingness to work, so that it is possible to divide unemployed individuals into certain categories, according to the potential voluntariness of unemployment. While there is a minority which can truly be regarded as voluntarily unemployed, most unemployed people actively search for work and suffer far more from unemployment than indicated by previous happiness research studies. A subsequent discussion includes a critical juxtaposition of the findings with policies such as the recent German labour market reforms. SOEP GB 6289 o.V. 2010 Lohnt sich das?

CEPS/INSTEAD Working Paper Series No. 2010-07 Differdange CEPS/INSTEAD Report longitudinal 30 Discussion Paper subjective indicators, income and poverty Well being, adaption, sociability Using longitudinal data on households living in Germany, we quantify what part of the change in subjective well-being observed over the last two decades is predicted by changes in variables which typically show strong cross-sectional correlation with subjective well-being. We especially focus on absolute income, income comparisons, income adaptation, and sociability, finding that all have some predictive power. The increase in sociability indicators predicts the largest positive change in subjective well-being. Absolute income, income comparisons and income adaptation also predict substantial changes in subjective well-being, if taken separately. However, if considered together their net prediction is quite small: the positive change predicted by income growth is compensated for about three fourths by the joint negative predictions due to income comparison and income adaptation. Finally, we find that aging of the population predicts the largest negative change in subjective well-being. This result appears to hinge on the large loss of satisfaction experienced by individuals in old age. http://d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:irs:cepswp:2010-07&r=hap SOEP GB 6285 Milewski, Nadja 2010 Immigrant Fertility in West Germany: Is There a Socialization Effect in Transitions to Second and Third Births? European Journal of Population 26 3 297-323 Journal Article cross-sectional 02 SSCI Journal migration, family and networks Immigrant fertility, socialization effects In this paper on immigrant fertility in West Germany, we estimate the transition rates to second and third births, using intensity-regression models. The data come from the German Socio-Economic Panel Study. We distinguish women of the first and the second immigrant generations originating from Turkey, the former Yugoslavia, Greece, Italy, and Spain, and compare their fertility levels to those of West German women. In the theoretical framework, we discuss competing hypotheses on migrant fertility. The findings support mainly the socialization hypothesis: the transition rates of first-generation immigrants vary by country of origin, and the fertility patterns of migrant descendants resemble more closely those of West Germans than those of the first immigrant generation. In addition, the analyses show that fertility differentials between immigrants and women of the indigenous population can largely, though not in full, be explained by compositional differences.

Aufgrund des demografischen Wandels wird in den kommenden 15 Jahren mit einer deutlichen Zunahme des demografischen Ersatzbedarfs an Akademikern gerechnet. Die zu erwartende Anzahl an Hochschulabsolventen dürfte deshalb nicht ausreichen, den durch Wachstumsprozesse entstehenden Expansionsbedarf an Akademikern zu decken. Eine Szenariorechnung zeigt, dass ohne Wanderungsbewegungen nach dem Studium die neuen Länder von den demografisch bedingten Engpässen besonders belastet werden. So werden in den neuen Ländern im Zeitraum 2015 bis 2019 rund acht von zehn und im Zeitraum 2020 bis 2024 rund neun von zehn Hochschulabsolventen benötigt, um allein die aus dem Erwerbsleben ausscheidenden Akademiker zu ersetzen. In den alten Ländern sind hierfür lediglich maximal zwei von drei Hochschulabsolventen nötig, sodass dort bessere Expansionsbedingungen für die Unternehmen bestehen. http://www.iwkoeln.de/Portals/0/pdf/trends02_10_5.pdf SOEP, Mikrozensus D 6283 Kalina, Thorsten and Weinkopf, Claudia 2010 Niedriglohnbeschäftigung 2008: Stagnation auf hohem Niveau - Lohnspektrum franst nach unten aus IAQ-Report 2010-06 Duisburg, Essen Universität Duisburg-Essen Report longitudinal 33 Other Grey Literature http://www.iaq.uni-due.de/iaq-report/2010/report2010-06.pdf SOEP D 6282 Reichl Luthra, Renee 2010 Assimilation in a New Context: Educational Attainment of the Immigrant Second Generation in Germany ISER Working Paper 2010-21 Colchester Institute for Social and Economic Research (ISER) Report mentions of the SOEP study 30 Discussion Paper This paper utilizes the German Mikrozensus to model competing secondary school outcomes among both foreign and naturalized children of guest workers, ethnic Germans, EU and third country immigrants. In line with previous research, I find that second generation disadvantage in educational attainment is largely explained by parental background. However, my study also finds evidence of higher attainment among many second generation groups. By introducing categorical interactions between parental education and immigrant origin, I link this new finding to the fact that most second generation groups are less adversely affected by low parental education than are the children of native Germans. http://www.iser.essex.ac.uk/publications/working-papers/iser/2010-21.pdf GB 6281 Cappellari, Lorenzo 2009 The Dynamics of Social Assistence Benefit Receipt in Britain ISER Working Paper 2009-29 Colchester Institute for Social and Economic Research (ISER) Report mentions of the SOEP study 30 Discussion Paper We analyze the dynamics of social assistance benefit (SA) receipt among working-age adults in Britain between 1991 and 2005. The decline in the annual SA receipt rate was driven by a decline in the SA entry rate, rather than by the SA exit rate (which actually declined too). We examine the determinants of these trends using a multivariate dynamic random effects probit model of SA entry and exit probabilities applied to British Household Panel Survey data. The model estimates and accompanying counterfactual simulations highlight the importance of two factors – the decline in the unemployment rate over the period, and other changes in the socioeconomic environment including two reforms to the income maintenance system in the 1990s. The results also reveal a substantial heterogeneity in SA annual transition rates. http://www.iser.essex.ac.uk/publications/working-papers/iser/2009-29.pdf GB 6280 Fuest, Benedikt 2010 Wo die Armut beginnt Rheinischer Merkur online vom 12.

Berlin: DIW Berlin Report cross-sectional 30 Discussion Paper Migration, family and networks, labour intermarriage, integration, labor market, migration Taking advantage of the panel structure of the data, the impact of intermarriage on labor market productivity as measured by earnings is examined. Contrarily to previous studies which rely on instrumental variable techniques, selection issues are addressed within a fixed effects framework. The model accounts for short and long term effects as well as general differences between those who intermarry and those who do not. Once unobserved heterogeneity is incorporated, advantageous effects from intermarriage vanish and do not differ from premiums from marriage between immigrants. However, immigrants who eventually intermarry receive greater returns to experience indicating better labor market integration. http://ftp.iza.org/dp5104.pdf SOEP GB 6277 Mavromaras, Kostas, McGuinness, Seamus, O'Leary, Nigel, Sloane, Peter and Wei, Zhang 2010 Job Mismatches and Labour Market Outcomes: Panel Evidence on Australian University Graduates IZA DP No. 5083 Bonn Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) Report citation of SOEP results 30 Discussion Paper overeducation, overskilling, wages, satisfaction, mobility The interpretation of graduate mismatch manifested either as overeducation or as overskilling remains problematical. This paper uses annual panel information on both educational and skills mismatches uniquely found in the HILDA survey to analyse the relationship of both mismatches with pay, job satisfaction and job mobility. We find that overeducation and overskilling are distinct phenomena with different labour market outcomes and that their combination results in the most severe negative labour market outcomes. Using panel methodology reduces strongly the size of many relevant coefficients, questioning previous cross-section results and suggesting the presence of considerable unobserved heterogeneity which varies by gender. http://ftp.iza.org/dp5083.pdf GB 6276 Biewen, Martin and Juhasz, Andos 2010 Understanding Rising Income Inequality in Germany IZA DP No. 5062 Bonn Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) Report longitudinal 30 Discussion Paper income and poverty, labour income inequality, poverty, unemployment, kernel density estimation We examine the causes for rising income inequality in Europe’s most populous economy. From 2000 to 2006, Germany experienced an unprecedented rise in net equivalized income inequality and poverty. At the same time, unemployment rose to record levels and there was evidence for a widening distribution of labour market returns, as well as that of other market incomes. Other factors that possibly contributed to the rise in income inequality were changes in the tax system, changes in the household structure (in particular the rising share of single parent households), and changes in other socio-economic characteristics (e.g. age or education). We address the question of which factors were the main drivers of the observed inequality increase. Our results suggest that most of the increase can be explained by both changes in employment outcomes and in market returns, and, to a similar extent, by changes in the tax system. Changes in household structures and other household characteristics seem to have played a much smaller role. Put into an international perspective, our results suggest that rising income inequality in non-Anglo-Saxon countries is the likely result of both increasing inequality in market returns and increasing inequality in employment outcomes, as well as of idiosyncratic changes such as tax reforms. http://ftp.iza.org/dp5062.pdf SOEP GB 6275 Ve?erník, Ji?í 2010 Earnings Disparities and Income Inequality in CEE Countries: An Analysis of Development and Relationships Luxembourg Income Study Working Paper No. 540 Luxemburg Luxembourg Income Study (LIS) Report citation of SOEP results 30 Discussion Paper earning disparities, income inequality, cee countries The potential in survey data for the study of simultaneous changes in earnings disparities, inequality of household income, and the connections between them has thus far been underexploited. This paper presents various data on four Central and East European (CEE countries and, for the sake of comparison, partially on Austria and Germany. It uses data from multiple sources. Microdata come from the Luxembourg Income Study (LIS), an excellent source of secondary cross-national survey data on households and from the Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) surveys. First, I compare the changes in both distributions over time since the communist period as reported in various sources and ask: how much did disparities and inequalities increase during the transition? Second, I present some methodological and empirical attempts that have been made so far to analyse the connections between the two distributions and ask: how should the association between personal and household earnings be analysed and what do we know about its development? Third, I present the changing links between earned and disposable income in CEE countries using LIS data for history and EU-SILC data for the present time. Here the question is: how strong was and currently is the association in CEE countries and how do they differ in packaging family income? Two perspectives are used: employed persons (examining the association between their earnings and the income of the households they live in) and employee households (examining the sources of their income by decomposing their inequality). Various sources confirm that earnings disparities and income inequalities rose more or less in all four CEE countries after 1989. This is apparent in the individual countries in various phases of their transition. In contrast, no increase occurred from 2004 to 2007, according to the EU-SILC surveys. http://www.lisproject.org/publications/liswps/540.pdf GB 6274 Klabunde, Anna and Korn, Evelyn 2010 Parasites and Raven Mothers: A German-Japanese Comparison on (Lone) Motherhood Ruhr Economic Papers #196 Bochum, Dortmund, Duisburg, Essen Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Department of Economics, Technische Universität Dortmund, Department of Economics and Social Sciences, Universität Duisburg-Essen, Department of Economics and Rheinisch-Westfälisches Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung (RWI) Report citation of SOEP results 30 Discussion Paper out-of-wedlock childbearing, fertility, family law, Germany, Japan Having a child out of wedlock used to be associated with shame and scorn. This is mostly not the case anymore in the western world. Therefore, freed from social sanctions, single motherhood has become an additional family-choice alternative for women, along with marriage and childlessness. Yet, the institutions that infl uence women’s decisions diff er across countries. We compare the institutional frame, in particular labor-market characteristics and family law, in Germany and Japan and, in addition, the interaction between culture and institutions. Both countries had a very traditional (one-earner) family system until the second half of the 20th century. Now we can observe that social changes that happened in Germany decades ago are happening only now in Japan. We analyze if and how the consequences in terms of family structures and fertility rates that resulted in Germany can be transfered to Japan. http://www.rwi-essen.de/media/content/pages/publikationen/ruhr-economic-papers/REP_10_196.pdf GB 6273 Mortsiefer, Henrik 2010 Vermögend und verschwiegen Der Tagesspiegel vom 07.

The alternative (association with negative changes) is generally defined as “frustrated achievement” [Graham, C., Pettinato, S., 2002. Happiness and Hardship: Opportunity and Insecurity in New Market Economies. The Brookings Institution Press,Washington, D.C.]. We investigate the determinants of “frustrated achievement” in the German socioeconomic panel on more than 30,000 individuals collected between 1992 and 2004. We observe a parallel reduction in self-declared life satisfaction corresponding to almost one-third of yearly increases in (equalised) real household income. Our econometric findings show that the lack of a full-time job, health deterioration, relative income effects, marital status shocks and poorer social life are the main factors associated with this phenomenon.

Using multi-level modelling, it can be shown that the share of postmaterialists significantly varies between the surveys when controlling for respondents‘ year of birth and survey year. These differences can partly be attributed to varying forms of data collection. In particular the ALLBUS and Eurobarometer surveys differ strongly. In addition, house effects and an effect of quota sampling can be found. http://www.gesis.org/fileadmin/upload/forschung/publikationen/zeitschriften/mda/Vol.3_Heft_2/03_Markus.pdf SOEP D 6249 Riphahn, Regina T., Eschelbach, Martina, Heineck, Guido and Müller, Steffen 2010 Kosten und Nutzen der Ausbildung an Tertiärbildungsinstitutionen im Vergleich Perspektiven der Wirtschaftspolitik 11 2 103-131 Journal Article longitudinal 03 Refereed Journal education, income and poverty Bildung, Einkommen und Armut, Kosten und Nutzen We compare German institutions of tertiary education (universities and polytechnics with respect to the cost of and the returns to their educational degrees.

Vor allem für männliche Arbeitnehmer in großen Unternehmen sind die Karrierechancen im Betrieb weniger berechenbar geworden. Die Aussichten auf einen Aufstieg sind gesunken.

The aim of this paper is to develop indicators to highlight the ability of different national pension systems to enable individuals to maintain their living standards at retirement. We will perform the analysis using data – and projections – on different European countries. The proposed indicators will be computed both on actual and projected data. We propose the use of a ‘COmprehensive Replacement’ (CORE) rate. The measurement is conceptually very simple, as it is based on the comparison (or, more precisely, on the ratio) of living standards after retirement with living standards when active. Our aim is to compute, for a set of countries representative of the different European welfare and pension systems, both an actual (data-based) version of CORE, based on ECHP data, and to project its evolution into the future. To this end we will use the semi-aggregate simulation model CeRPSAM (Ferraresi & Monticone, 2008). The paper is organised as follows. Section 1 provides a theoretical framework as well as a review of the literature on the topic. Section 2 contains the computation of replacement rates based on ECHP data. In Section 3 we use the CeRPSAM projections to compute COREs over time.

The analysis draws on the first 8 waves (1994-2001) of the European Community Household Panel (ECHP). Option values for retirement are constructed from a pool of four countries: Finland, Belgium, Germany and Spain, all relying on public-sector mandated pensions. The pooled estimation strategy diminishes the caveats of using an existing institutional setting to examine the incentives of introducing a new pension system. Pension reforms have to implement higher pension rights accruals than what has so far been introduced in pension reforms during the 2000s. Actuarial adjustment for reduction of pensions by 5%-points for each year of early retirement and even greater additions to pensions for postponed retirement would increase retirement age by around 4.4 years on average and even up to 6 years in Belgium and Germany. Pecuniary incentives are not dwarfed by joint retirement. The alternatives of improving well-being at work or improving health have minor effects. http://www.ceps.eu/ceps/download/1566 ECHP GB 6242 Hullegie, Patrick and Klein, Tobias J. 2010 The Effect of Private Health Insurance on Medical Care Utilization and Self-Assessed Health in Germany Health Economics 19 9 1048–1062 2010: IZA DP No. 5004. Bonn: Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) 10.1002/hec.1642 Journal Article longitudinal 01 SCI Journal health, transfer systems private health insurance, medical care utilization, selection into insurance, natural experiment, regression discontinuity design, measurement error In Germany, employees are generally obliged to participate in the public health insurance system, where coverage is universal, co-payments and deductibles are moderate, and premia are based on income. However, they may buy private insurance instead if their income exceeds the compulsory insurance threshold. Here, premia are based on age and health, individuals may choose to what extent they are covered, and deductibles and co-payments are common. In this paper, we estimate the effect of private insurance coverage on the number of doctor visits, the number of nights spent in a hospital and self-assessed health. Variation in income around the compulsory insurance threshold provides a natural experiment that we exploit to control for selection into private insurance. We document that income is measured with error and suggest an approach to take this into account. We find negative effects of private insurance coverage on the number of doctor visits, no effects on the number of nights spent in a hospital, and positive effects on health. http://ftp.iza.org/dp5004.pdf SOEP GB 6241 Dekkers, Gijs, Buslei, Hermann, Cozzolino, Maria, Desmet, Raphael, Geyer, Johannes, Hofmann, Dirk, Raitano, Michele, Steiner, Viktor, Tanda, Paola, Tedeschi, Simone and Verschueren, Frédéric 2009 What are the Consequences of the AWG-Projections for the Adequacy of Social Security Pensions?

Der vorliegende Beitrag aktualisiert Betrachtungen auf Basis des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP), die die Einkommenssituation der Älteren in der gesamten Einkommensverteilung verorten. Geringere Rentenanpassungen führen beispielsweise nur dann zu einer Verschlechterung der relativen Position von Senioren, wenn sich gleichzeitig die Situation der jüngeren Bevölkerungsteile etwa durch Lohnerhöhungen oder neue Erwerbschancen verbessert. Daneben spielt auch die Entwicklung anderer Einkommenskomponenten der Senioren eine Rolle, und für Querschnittentwicklungen sind strukturelle Faktoren relevant, die auf die Einkommensverteilung im Zeitvergleich einwirken. Denn die Zusammensetzung der betrachteten Gruppe verändert sich zwischen den Erhebungszeitpunkten durch Zu- und Abgänge. Alles in allem sind die Einflussfaktoren so komplex, dass sich die Entwicklung der relativen Einkommenssituation der 65-Jährigen und älteren in den letzten Jahren keineswegs ad hoc abschätzen lässt. Damit erscheinen die diesbezüglichen Auswertungen lohnenswert. Ergänzt wird dieser Ansatz durch die Betrachtung des Sparverhaltens und der freiwilligen Transferleistungen sowie die Darstellung von Merkmalen, die nach Vorstellung der Bevölkerung den notwendigen Lebensstandard in der Gesellschaft prägen, wiederum unterschieden nach Jungen und Alten. Im Ergebnis zeigt sich keineswegs eine besonders prekäre allgemeine Einkommensentwicklung der älteren Bevölkerung. Im Gegenteil lässt sich ein vergleichsweise positives Bild zeichnen. Hinzu kommt, dass der Blick auf wesentliche Lebensstandardmerkmale die Situation der Seniorenbevölkerung ebenfalls in ein vergleichsweise positives Licht rückt. SOEP D 6238 Lohmann, Henning 2008 Welfare States, Labour Market Institutions and the Working Poor: A Comparative Analysis of 20 European Countries European Sociological Review 25 4 489-504 10.1093/esr/jcn064 Journal Article citation of SOEP results 02 SSCI Journal This article regards the incidence of in-work poverty and how it is reduced by the payment of social transfers in 20 European countries. It combines a micro- and a macro-level perspective in two-level models. The basis for the analysis is micro-data from the EU Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) 2005 and macro-data from sources such as the OECD and Eurostat. The broad comparative perspective allows for a separation of different institutional influences, namely the influence of the degree of decommodification, defamilization, and bargaining centralization. In contrast to previous studies on the working poor which have mainly described country differences in in-work poverty, this article focuses on the question of how such differences can be explained from a broader perspective of poverty research. In general, the results confirm the overall hypothesis that both welfare state measures and labour market institutions have an influence on in-work poverty. By analysing influences on pre-transfer poverty and poverty reduction separately, the author shows that such factors have varied effects on in-work poverty. While bargaining centralization proves to be relevant for the distribution of pre-transfer incomes only, the set-up of the social security system, in particular, impacts the extent of poverty reduction.

Rostock: Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research Journal Article mentions of the SOEP study 03 Refereed Journal fertility, family, micro-census, employment, data quality The German microcensus is a rotating panel in which respondents are interviewed once per year for four years in a row. Recently, the microcensus panel 1996-1999 has been made available for scientific usage. This paper discusses the potential of the microcensus panel for investigations in the field of fertility research. In the first part of the paper, we demonstrate how the data can be transformed into spell format so that event history models can be applied. Respondents become “under observation” when they are interviewed for the first time in 1996. The “risk set” are female respondents aged 16-38 who are childless at first interview. They contribute exposure time to our investigation until the last interview is conducted or have a first child. Based on this data set up, we have estimated a first birth model. Estimates are very much in line with previous findings on fertility behavior in Germany. But even though that our first investigations provide reasonable results, there are several shortcomings of the data, which we also discussed: First, fertility histories are not surveyed in the microcensus. As others have done before, we have reconstructed fertility careers of female respondents based on the ages and numbers of the children who live in the same family unit. This procedure gives fairly good results for female respondents who are below age 39 at time of interview. Older respondents, and therefore fertility at higher ages, cannot be investigated with this data. A second drawback is that there are no monthly employment histories available. However, information on the employment status at time of interview can be used. We assumed here that the employment status that we measure at time of interview is fixed for the period of twelve months after interview. This is a very strong assumption for some indicators, such as unemployment. However, for other employment indicators (such as whether the person is working in a public or private enterprise, whether the working contract is term-limited or not) this assumption should not be problematic. A third downturn of the data is panel-attrition. The microcensus is a household-survey. When respondents leave the household, they are not surveyed any longer. This involves that panelattrition is related to residential mobility. In a ‘sensitivity analysis’ we show that panel attrition does not seem to bias our investigations. The paper concludes with a critical discussion on the scope and limits of the microcensus panel for fertility investigations. http://www.demogr.mpg.de/papers/working/wp-2009-024.pdf D 6234 Klenner, Christina 2009 Frauen immer häufiger Familienernährerinnen - oft unfreiwillig und mit niedrigem Einkommen "DGB Infobrief ""Frau geht vor""" Deutscher Gewerkschaftsbund Bundesvorstand 4 Magazine Article cross-sectional 62 Professional Newsletter labour, gender Das Modell des männlichen Alleinverdieners und Familienernährers ist ein Auslaufmodell.

In this paper, we focus on the impact of demographic change on labour markets. By setting up a stylized model of a regional labour market, we are able to analyze the interaction of labour demand and supply during demographic transitions. The simulation results for eastern Germany, a forerunner in the demographic process, show that the population decline will not help to reduce the currently high unemployment among the low-skilled dramatically. Among the high-skilled, scarcities will play a major role and could impede the development of industrial centers. http://www.cesifo-group.de/DocCIDL/cesifo1_wp2315.pdf SOEP GB 6231 Goebel, Jan, Gornig, Martin and Häußermann, Hartmut 2010 Polarisierung der Einkommen: Die Mittelschicht verliert Wochenbericht des DIW Berlin 77 24 2-8 Journal Article longitudinal 05 DIW Weekly Report income and poverty Income polarization, Middle class, SOEP Die Einkommensgegensätze zwischen ärmeren und reicheren Haushalten nehmen in Deutschland seit der Wiedervereinigung zu. Zwar reduziert sich diese Einkommenspolarisierung in konjunkturell günstigen Phasen mit starken Beschäftigungszuwächsen. Danach aber steigt sie umso schneller wieder an. Im längerfristigen Trend ist einerseits nicht nur die Zahl der ärmeren Haushalte stetig gewachsen - sie wurden im Durchschnitt auch immer ärmer. Auf der anderen Seite gibt es im Trend immer mehr Reichere, die im Durchschnitt auch immer reicher werden. Dieser Gegensatz wird von den Menschen nicht nur als besonders ungerecht empfunden, sondern er schürt auch die Verunsicherung der Mittelschicht. Im Krisenjahr 2009 nahm zwar der Anteil der Haushalte mit hohen Einkommen ab. Das Durchschnittseinkommen der verbliebenen reichen Haushalte aber stieg weiter. Im unteren Einkommensbereich wirkte sich auch dank der unterstützenden Arbeitsmarktmaßnahmen die Finanz- und Wirtschaftkrise bislang kaum negativ aus. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.357505.de/10-24-1.pdf SOEP D 6230 Grundig, Beate, Pohl, Carsten, Thum, Marcel, Seitz, Helmut, Eichler, Stefan, Lehmann, Harald, Ragnitz, Joachim and Schneider, Lutz 2006 Demographische Entwicklung in Ostdeutschland Forschungsauftrag des BMWi (Nr. 27/04) Halle Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung Halle (IWH) Report cross-sectional 33 Other Grey Literature labour http://www.bmwi.de/BMWi/Redaktion/PDF/C-D/demographische-entwicklung-in-ostdeutschland,property=pdf,bereich=bmwi,sprache=de,rwb=true.pdf SOEP D 6229 Kenworthy, Lane 2010 The High-Employment Route to Low Inequality Luxembourg Income Study Working Paper No. 258 Luxembourg Luxembourg Income Study (LIS) Report cross-sectional 30 Discussion Paper labour, international comparison This paper surveys the rise of income inequality in affluent nations.

Cross-National Variation in the Mechanisms that Lead Poverty among Workers Luxembourg Income Study Working Paper No. 539 Luxembourg Luxembourg Income Study (LIS) Report cross-sectional 30 Discussion Paper income and poverty, international comparison The objective of this paper is to distinguish between different types of working poverty, on the basis of the mechanisms that produce it. Whereas the poverty literature identifies a myriad of risk factors and of categories of disadvantaged workers, we focus on three immediate causes of working poverty, namely low wage rate, weak labour force attachment, and high needs, the latter mainly due to the presence of children (and sometimes to the increase in needs caused by a divorce). These three mechanisms are the channels through which macroeconomic, demographic and policy factors have a direct bearing on working households. The main assumption tested here is that welfare regimes strongly influence the relative weight of these three mechanisms in producing working poverty, and, hence, the composition of the working-poor population. Our figures confirm this hypothesis and show that low-wage employment is a key factor, but, by far, not the only one and that family policies broadly understood play a decisive role, as well as patterns of labour market participation and integration. http://www.lisproject.org/publications/liswps/539.pdf LIS GB 6227 Grimm, Michael, Harttgen, Kenneth, Klasen, Stephan, Misselhorn, Mark, Munzi, Teresa and Smeeding, Timothy 2010 Inequality in Human Development: An Empirical Assessment of 32 Countries Social Indicators Research 97 2 191-211 10.1007/s11205-009-9497-7 Journal Article cross-sectional 02 SSCI Journal international comparison, income and poverty, education Human development, Income inequality, Differential mortality, Inequality in education One of the most frequent critiques of the HDI is that is does not take into account inequality within countries in its three dimensions. In this paper, we apply a simply approach to compute the three components and the overall HDI for quintiles of the income distribution. This allows a comparison of the level in human development of the poor with the level of the non-poor within countries, but also across countries. This is an application of the method presented in Grimm et al. (World Development 36(12):2527–2546, 2008) to a sample of 21 low and middle income countries and 11 industrialized countries. In particular the inclusion of the industrialized countries, which were not included in the previous work, implies to deal with a number of additional challenges, which we outline in this paper. Our results show that inequality in human development within countries is high, both in developed and industrialized countries. In fact, the HDI of the lowest quintiles in industrialized countries is often below the HDI of the richest quintile in many middle income countries. We also find, however, a strong overall negative correlation between the level of human development and inequality in human development. http://www.springerlink.com/content/y72n745vnj5v0600/ LIS GB 6226 Otterbach, Steffen and Sousa-Poza, Alfonso 2010 How Accurate are German Work-time Data?

Drawing on Turner’s concepts of sponsored and contest mobility and on Allmendinger’s classification along the dimensions of stratification and selection, we describe the amount of flexibility currently in the German secondary school system which, despite ongoing reforms, is still stratified and selective. Earlier research suggests that the sorting process is socially, not just academically, selective. Building on this, we analyse factors influencing whether individuals make use of the available opportunities for changing track. We find that, rather than alleviating the early social inequality, these opportunities reinforce it since young people from more privileged backgrounds are more likely to benefit from flexibility, whereas disadvantaged individuals are more likely to drop out of the academic track. Most earlier relevant work has used regression-based methods, but we use an alternative configurational method, Ragin’s Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA). Using this set theoretic approach allows us, when exploring what conjunctions of factors are sufficient conditions for the types of mobility we focus upon, to move beyond the limitations of a ‘net effects’ approach.

Differential models with regard to gender and origin were analysed. Results Migrants who experienced discrimination report a worse health status. Discrimination determines mental and physical health of migrants. There are differences in models due to gender and origin. Conclusions In addition to socioeconomic factors experienced discrimination should be taken into account as a psycho-social stressor of migrants.

Total observed similarity between members of a dyad is decomposed into trait similarity, initial state similarity, new state similarity, and error similarity. Dyadic similarity in new state variance reveals that both members of a dyad change in the same direction, which is a strong indication of environmental effects. DLPA is used to examine environmental influences on life satisfaction and domain satisfaction based on 22 annual assessments of married couples in the German Socio-Economic Panel Study (N’s = 607–740). The results show high similarity in new state variance for life satisfaction and objectively identical domains (household income, housing), and less similarity for objectively less similar domains (recreation, health). This finding provides strong evidence for environmental influences on well-being. In addition, the results show high trait similarity. The implications of the latter finding for interpretation of behavioral genetics studies of well-being are discussed.

However, it has been debated whether results from these experiments can be extrapolated to the real world and whether, for example, sample selection into the experiment might constitute a major shortcoming of this methodology. This note discusses potential benefits of combining experimental methods and representative datasets as a means to overcome some of the limitations of lab experiments. We also outline how large representative surveys can serve as reference data for researchers collecting their own datasets in order to explore potential sample selection biases. http://www.ratswd.de/download/RatSWD_WP_2010/RatSWD_WP_146.pdf GB 6210 Hank, Karsten 2010 Childbearing history, later life health and mortality in Germany SOEPpapers 305 Berlin DIW Berlin Report longitudinal 32 SOEPpaper health, family and networks reproductive history, health, mortality, life course, SOEP Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel, we investigated the role of childbearing history in later life health and mortality, paying particular attention to possible differences by sex and region. Higher parity is associated with better self-rated health in Western German mothers and fathers aged 50+, but its relationship with Eastern German women’s physical health and survival is negative. Early motherhood is paralleled by poorer physical health in West Germany, whereas late motherhood is associated with lower psychological well-being in East Germany. Moreover, among Western German women, having had a non-marital first birth is weakly correlated with lower physical health. Our findings support the notion of biosocial pathways playing an important role in shaping the fertility-health-nexus. Specifically, the Western German ‘male breadwinner’ model of specialisation appears to have buffered the stresses associated with childrearing, whereas fertility off the ‘normative’ life course track supposedly had adverse effects on women’s health in West Germany.

A logit model of extensive labour supply decision Ifo Working Paper No. 56 Munich Ifo Institute for Economic Research at the University of Munich Report citation of SOEP results 30 Discussion Paper Female labour supply, childcare, logit model, decomposition. The aim of the paper is to analyse differences in the labour force participation (LFP) between East and West German women. Using microcensus data in a binary choice model, we distinguish three main explanations for these differences: the skill composition, the regional labour market and childcare availability. As LFP in-creases in the skill-level, the larger share of high-skilled women in East Germany can explain more than 10 percent of the differences. Whereas East German women do not vary their efforts when regional labour market conditions worsen, West German women are discouraged thereof. Female LFP in East Germany is positively influenced by the provision of full-time childcare while West German women do not show any significant reaction. http://www.cesifo-group.de/DocDL/IfoWorkingPaper-56.pdf GB 6208 Engels, Dietrich and Ridder, Katrin 2007 Weiterentwicklung der Reichtumsberichterstattung der Bundesregierung.

Die vorliegende Arbeit schließt einen Teil der Lücke, indem sie das Kündigungsrisiko von Arbeitnehmern in Deutschland analysiert. Nach der Aufarbeitung des Forschungsstandes werden theoretische Modelle zur Vorhersage des Kündigungsrisikos entworfen. Die Vorgehensweise ist bewusst interdisziplinär angelegt. Zur Fundierung wird die Strategie des theoretischen Modellbaus ausgearbeitet und entwickelt. Anschließend werden aus dem Sozio-oekonomischen Panel Ereignisdaten zur Betriebszugehörigkeitsdauer von Arbeitnehmern in Deutschland generiert. Der letztlich verwendete Datensatz deckt einen Zeitraum von 9 Jahren, ca. 2.700 Personen mit ca. 4.000 Betriebszugehörigkeitsepisoden und annähernd 140.000 Personenmonaten ab. Im multivariaten Analyseteil werden vorwiegend parametrische Übergangsratenmodelle geschätzt, die einige bewährte Erkenntnisse bestätigen und einige neue Einsichten in den Fluktuationsprozess erlauben: Das Kündigungsrisiko erweist sich als umgekehrt U-förmige Funktion der Betriebszugehörigkeitsdauer. Es ist ebenso durch Faktoren auf der Makro-Ebene bestimmt (z. B. Arbeitslosenquote) wie durch demographische Merkmale (z. B. Alter), die Berufsbiographie (z. B. Anzahl früherer Kündigungsereignisse) und aktuelle Stellencharakteristika (z. B. Einkommenshöhe, Arbeitszufriedenheit). Im Schlussteil der Arbeit werden die Ergebnisse mit Blick auf ihre praktische Verwertbarkeit, auf die Zielsetzung und Vorgehensweise der Arbeit sowie auf zukünftige Forschungsfelder zusammengefasst.

This has an impact on the quality of data, which is demonstrated for the European Community Household Panel (ECHP) and the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP). A matching of register and interview data for the Finnish sub-sample of the ECHP allows an analysis of the measurement error caused by rounding with regard to cross-sectional statistics and the mobility of incomes. The emphasis is on income quantiles, poverty measures and income mobility. The finding is that most income values are rounded after one or two significant digits, and the accuracy improves only slightly after the initial wave. The results are that rounding behaviour can change across panel waves, and can also be different across countries and types of income. Characteristics like gender, job type and mode of interview were significantly correlated with rounding behaviour. SOEP GB 6193 Pohl, Carsten 2008 Immigration, Integration and Return Migration in Germany Hamburg Dr. Kovac 156 Book longitudinal 11 Book migration, subjective indicators For a long time, Germany has not considered itself as an immigration country. Instead, the guest worker program initiated in the second half of the last century determined the way of thinking and dealing with immigration over the last decades. Foreigners have been regarded as temporary residents who would return to their country of origins after having accomplished their work in Germany. However, due to family reunifications, the fall of the iron curtain and the ongoing globalization Germany has continued to serve as a destination country for immigrants. Today, almost nineteen percent of the population in Germany are either foreign citizens or have a migration background. Consequently, immigration and the integration of foreigners into the labor market have received increasing attention in the economic-political debate.The historical overview on Germany's migration experience as well as the presentation of stylized facts on migration flows and stocks represent the starting point for my analyses. Using the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP) I study the location choice of newly arrived immigrants, the subjective well-being of foreign-born residents, the intergenerational mobility in education as well as return migration. The empirical findings are relevant for analyses on the fiscal impact of immigration as well as important in the context of demographic change. Since the labor supply in Germany will come along with regional and skill-specific shortages the immigration of (highly) qualified employees might mitigate bottlenecks. However, current immigration regulations do neither indicate which types of immigrants (e.g. with respect to educational achievements, age and working experience) nor how many foreign-born should be admitted to the labor market. A coherent and transparent immigration policy which provides highly qualified individuals with a long-term perspective to settle in Germany may contribute to attract immigrants to the country. SOEP D 6192 Krings, Achim 2000 Theorie und Empirie unterschiedlich langer Arbeitstage am Beispiel von Schicht- und Teilzeitarbeit (Beiträge zur Personal- und Unternehmensökonomik, Band 5) Uschi Backes-Gellner, Matthias Kräkel München und Mehring Rainer Hampp Verlag Book cross-sectional 12 Published Dissertation health, labour "Bei der betrieblichen Arbeitszeitgestaltung ist unter anderem auch die Länge des Arbeitstages zu bestimmen. Die Bedeutung dieses Entscheidungsproblems zeigt sich beispielsweise bei der Arbeitszeitgestaltung in Krankenhäusern. Dort wird die Frage, ob zu lange Schichtdienste von Ärzten die Qualität der Patientenversorgung beeinträchtigen, immer wieder diskutiert. Auch in der Diskussion um Teilzeitarbeit streitet man sich über die Frage, welche betrieblichen Konsequenzen unter-schiedlich lange Arbeitstage haben. Die theoretische Analyse der betrieblichen Auswirkungen unter-schiedlich langer Arbeitstage weist auf folgenden Zielkonflikt hin: Einerseits sinkt aufgrund von Ermüdungseffekten bei längerer täglicher Arbeitszeit tendenziell die Leistungsfähigkeit von Arbeitnehmern. Andererseits erleichtert eine längere tägliche Arbeitszeit die Informationsweitergabe im Betrieb, weil weniger Wechsel zwischen Arbeitnehmern erforderlich sind - so wird eine ganzheitlichere Behandlung der Aufgaben möglich. Theoretisch ist nur schwer vorherzusagen, welcher dieser gegenläufigen Effekte auf die betriebliche Produktivität dominiert. Zur empirischen Untersuchung der Auswirkungen unterschiedlich langer Arbeitstage hat der Autor u.a. die Qualität der Patientenversorgung auf sechs chirurgischen Intensivstationen deutscher Universitätskliniken verglichen, in denen die Ärzte unterschiedlich lange pro Tag arbeiten. Kern dieser empirischen Untersuchung war die Frage, ob eine bessere Patientenversorgung eher durch ein Zweischicht- oder ein Dreischichtmodell für Ärzte erreicht werden kann. Bei einem Zweischichtmodell erstreckt sich eine Schicht auf zwölf Stunden, bei einem Dreischichtmodell hingegen auf acht Stunden. Im Gegenzug haben Ärzte im Zweischichtmodell eine größere Anzahl an freien Tagen als im Dreischichtmodell. Die Qualität der Patientenversorgung als kritische Erfolgsgröße für die unterschiedlichen Arbeitszeitmodelle wurde dabei anhand der Gesundheitsverläufe von 347 Patienten gemessen, die in einem einmonatigen Erhebungszeitraum auf den sechs Intensivstationen behandelt wurden. Die bestehenden Unterschiede zwischen den untersuchten Intensivstationen im Hinblick auf personelle und technische Ausstattung, den Schweregrad der Erkrankung der Patienten und die akute Arbeitsintensität während des Aufenthalts auf der Intensivstation, wurden erhoben und statistisch korrigiert, so dass verbleibende Unterschiede in der Qualität der Patientenversorgung auf die unterschiedlichen Arbeitszeitmodelle kausal zurückgeführt werden können. Im Ergebnis stellte sich heraus, dass die Qualität derPatientenversorgung auf den Intensivstationen mit einem Zweischichtmodell etwas besser war als auf den Intensivstationen mit einem Dreischichtmodell. Ein vergleichsweise langer Arbeitstag von etwa zwölf Stunden scheint also in diesem Anwendungsfall dem""Normalarbeitstag"" von acht Stunden überlegen zu sein. Dieses Ergebnis ist vorallem darauf zurückzuführen, dass im Zweischichtmodell die Leistungsfähigkeit der Ärzte im Vergleich zum Dreischichtmodell nicht beeinträchtigt ist, wohingegen die Informationsweitergabe aufgrund der geringeren Häufigkeit von Schichtwechseln besser zu funktionieren scheint als im Dreischichtmodell. Um die Repräsentativität dieses besonderen Anwendungsfalls zu prüfen, verglich der Autor auch die besonderen Vor- und Nachteile von Teil- und Vollzeitarbeit in repräsentativen Beschäftigungsverhältnissen. Dazu zog er Daten aus der zwölften Welle des Sozioökonomischen Panels (SOEP) von 1995 heran, die vom Deutschen Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung bereitgestellt wurden. Auch diese Untersuchung bestätigte die negativen Auswirkungen von kurzen Arbeitstagen auf die Informationsflüsse in Unternehmen. Lange Arbeitstage sind insbesondere dann vorteilhaft, wenn Tätigkeiten schwer standardisierbar sind, wenn die Arbeitsergebnisse schwer zu messen sind, wenn der Arbeitsanfall schwer planbar ist und wenn die Beziehung zum Kunden persönlicher und spezifischer Natur ist. Nur wenn dies nicht der Fall ist, sind Teilzeitarbeitsverhältnisse betriebswirtschaftlich vorteilhaft und damit wettbewerbsfähig."

Berlin: DIW Berlin 10.1037/a0017543 Journal Article longitudinal 02 SSCI Journal subjective indicators, miscellaneous, international comparison "Selective mortality; successful aging; differential aging; psychosocial factors; wellbeing; multiphase growth model" Throughout adulthood and old age, levels of well-being appear to remain relatively stable. However, evidence is emerging that late in life well-being declines considerably. Using longterm longitudinal data of deceased participants in national samples from Germany, the UK, and the US, we examine how long this period lasts. In all three nations and across the adult age range, well-being was relatively stable over age, but declined rapidly with impending death. Articulating notions of terminal decline associated with impending death, we identified prototypical transition points in each study between three and five years prior to death, after which normative rates of decline steepened by a factor of three or more. The findings suggest that mortality-related mechanisms drive late-life changes in well-being and highlight the need for further refinement of psychological concepts about how and when late-life declines in psychosocial functioning prototypically begin. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.354232.de/diw_sp0286.pdf SOEP GB 6187 Tucci, Ingrid and Kroh, Martin 2010 Die Wählermacht der Zuwanderer Rheinische Post online vom 30.

Die Ergebnisse der interaktiven logistischen Regression zeigen, dass im Rahmen der komplexen Entscheidungssituation neben den aus anderen Untersuchungen bekannten Faktoren ""Alter"" und ""Einkommen"" gerade auch subjektive Risikobewertungen (Perzeption der Gesetzlichen Rentenversicherung/Risiko der Arbeitslosigkeit) relevant werden.

The higher the hierarchical level, the fewer women there are in such positions. Men have numerous role models to follow whereas women lack this opportunity. Many studies have focused on the influence of human capital and other ""objective"" factors on career opportunities. In our study, we go a step further by also looking at the impact of self-reported personality traits on gender differences in career chances. We compare managers and other white-collar employees in Germany's private sector. While bivariate results based on data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) in 2007 show that there are significant gender differences in personality traits, multivariate estimations and the decomposition of the gender career gap clearly indicate that these differences cannot account for gender differences in career opportunities. The decomposition (according to Fairlie, 2003) shows that only 8.6 percent of the inequality of career chances between women and can be explained by differences in personality. Nevertheless, personality traits might indeed play a role, albeit more indirectly: Some of the stronger career effects, such as long working hours, and labour market segregation, can also reflect differences in personality traits. These might have been influenced at an early stage by a gender-biased environment. Our results strongly stress the need for a gender-neutral environment outside and inside companies in order to enforce equal career opportunities for women and men.

Berlin: DIW Berlin Report longitudinal 30 Discussion Paper methods, subjective indicators adaptation, dynamic panel data model, subjective well-being, satisfaction This paper looks at the information content of satisfaction scores. It is argued that the information content depends on the extent to which people adapt to living conditions in general. Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel Study (SOEP), the estimation of a dynamic panel data model provides evidence that adaptation takes place within a relatively short window of time: changes in living conditions are, for the most part, absorbed by an adjustment of the adaptation level within one year. This leads to the conclusion that the information content of satisfaction scores accentuates recent changes in living conditions. Remote changes are not captured by the according survey questions, even if these changes have long-term impact on living conditions. The usefulness of satisfaction scores as an indicator of people’s living conditions is discussed. http://www.laser.uni-erlangen.de/papers/paper/101.pdf, http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.357660.de/diw_sp0306.pdf SOEP GB 6179 Kreyenfeld, Michaela 2010 Uncertainties in Female Employment Careers and the Postponement of Parenthood in Germany European Sociological Review 26 3 351-366 10.1093/esr/jcp026 Journal Article longitudinal 02 SSCI Journal gender, labour, family and networks fertility This paper investigates whether uncertainties in female employment careers result in a postponement of family formation. Data for this analysis comes from the German Socio-Economic Panel, which provides longitudinal information on economic uncertainty and fertility for the period 1984 to 2006. We employ objective measures of uncertainty (unemployment) as well as subjective measures (whether the respondent is worried about her economic situation, whether she is worried about the security of her job). We find little evidence that uncertainties in female employment careers generally lead to a postponement of parenthood. Hence, the relationship between economic uncertainty and first birth varies by level of education. While more highly educated postpone parenthood when subject to employment uncertainties, women with low levels of education often respond to these situations by becoming mothers.

The analysed types of atypical employment are fixed-term contracts, temporary agency work, and part-time employment, respectively. It is argued that these working arrangements are not homogeneous with respect to their socio-economic consequences, because they modify different aspects of the standard employment relationship. In order to investigate the effects of these types of employment, I use data from the German Socio-Economic Panel 2001–2005 on non-self-employed respondents. The results show that fixed-term contracts and agency work (being forms of external flexibility) have more severe negative socio-economic consequences than part-time employment (being a form of internal flexibility). Given that weak labour market groups face an increased risk of holding temporary jobs, the empirical findings clearly indicate the substantial impact of atypical employment on the extent and the structure of social inequality.

By using the German Mikrozensus, a precise measure for earnings risk is computed as the occupation-wide standard deviation of wages. Following the procedure proposed by Bonin (2007), this earnings risk measure is used as dependent variable in cross-sectional and panel data estimations using the SOEP data of 2004 and 2006, including a measure of the individual willingness to take risks. The signifi cant relationship in cross-sectional analyses vanishes when controlling for unobserved heterogeneity. Cross-sectional results seem to be driven by the correlation of unobserved ability and willingness to take risks, and are potentially biased by an attenuation bias due to unstable risk preferences. This study contributes to the existing literature by showing the importance of controlling for unobserved heterogeneity and instability of attitudes when examing the eff ects of personality traits in labor market decisions. http://www.rwi-essen.de/media/content/pages/publikationen/ruhr-economic-papers/REP_10_187.pdf SOEP, Microcensus GB 6176 Hvistendahl, Mara 2010 Survey to Reveal True Face of Chinese Society Science 328 5978 554-555 Journal Article mentions of the SOEP study 01 SCI Journal GB 6175 o.V. 2010 Rauchverbote zeigen offenbar Wirkung Ärzte Zeitung online vom 09.April 2010 Magazine Article citation of SOEP results 60 Popular Publication http://www.aerztezeitung.de/politik_gesellschaft/article/597364/rauchverbote-zeigen-offenbar-wirkung.html D 6174 Grabka, Markus M. 2010 Zum Stand der Armutsforschung in Deutschland.

Münster: Centrum für angewandte Wirtschaftsforschung Münster (CAWM) Journal Article cross-sectional 03 Refereed Journal consumption / assets / habitation Mieterschutz, Wohnungsqualität This paper considers the effect of rental externality and protection of tenants on housing quality. Rental externality means that the quality of renter-occupied housing is lower than that of owner-occupied housing, because asymmetrical information prevents the proper functioning of the rental contract, which obliges a tenant to repair completely the housing. Protection of tenants can also reduce the quality of the accommodation, because the protection can cause a decrease in profitability for the landlord and overutilization of the dwelling by tenants. Using the ordered logit model and the panel logit model with Garman Socio-Economic Panel, I obtained the empirical results that support theoretical predictions, although the quality of rental housing in Germany is relatively good.

We analyze unemployment and employment durations of male and female migrants, as well as transitions from domestic work to employment for female migrants from Turkey, former Yugoslavia, Greece, Spain and Italy. Given the large gap in unemployment and employment rates between groups of migrants, we look at several economic, human capital and cultural factors in order to test whether migrant-specific characteristics can help to explain ethnic group differences in labour market outcomes, The migrant-specific cultural variables we investigate include host-country language proficiency, interethnic contacts, host-country media consumption, and religiosity. The results indicate that although labour market transitions of migrants strongly depend on the labour market context, host-country orientation and religiosity also have some impact on the labour market integration of individual migrants, especially on transitions into employment of male migrants and married migrant housewives. However; while for most of our cultural variables we find significant effects on the individual level, these factors do not help to clarify the differences among the different migrant groups, which persist at a similar level even after controlling for labour market, general human capital, as well as cultural variables." http://www.wzb.eu/zkd/mit/pdf/dp_sp_iv_2010-701.pdf SOEP GB 6168 Losse, Bert 2009 Schwerer reicher Wirtschaftswoche 46 40 Magazine Article citation of SOEP results 60 Popular Publication Eine neue Studie zeigt: Der Aufstieg in höhere Einkommensklassen ist in Deutschland in den vergangenen Jahren immer schwieriger geworden.

To prevent or reduce social inequality the state can firstly try to establish equal conditions, and/or secondly equal achievements. How well the implementation of these goals can succeed depends strongly on the welfare arrangements. This will be the object of our comparative study of Germany and Switzerland. It will reveal that both countries are very similar with respect to income inequality, but the ways of reaching it are very different.

Combining micro-level data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) and industry-level trade data from input-output tables, we examine the impacts of international trade on (1) the individually reported fear of job loss and (2) job-to-unemployment transitions. We therefore apply both a “subjective” and a more “objective” measure of job insecurity. Our results indicate that international trade does indeed affect labour market outcomes in German service industries. Employees in trading service sectors face both a higher subjective and objective unemployment risk, regardless of their skill level. Moreover, growth in real net exports is positively correlated with perceived job insecurity and individual unemployment risk. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.356860.de/diw_sp0300.pdf SOEP GB 6155 Bruckmeier, Kerstin and Wiemers, Jürgen 2010 A New Targeting - A New Take-Up?: Non-Take-Up of Social Assistance in Germany after Social Policy Reforms SOEPpapers 294 Berlin DIW Berlin Report simulation 32 SOEPpaper Transfer system Non-Take-Up, social assistance, microsimulation We present first estimates of rates of non-take-up for social assistance in Germany after the implementation of major social policy reforms in 2005. The analysis is based on a microsimulation model, which includes a detailed description of the German social assistance programme. Our findings suggest a moderate decrease in non-takeup compared to estimates before the reform. In order to identify the determinants of claiming social assistance, we estimate a model of take-up behaviour which considers potential endogeneity of the benefit level. The estimations reveal that the degree of needs, measured as the social assistance benefit level a household is eligible for, and the expected duration of eligibility are the key determinants of the take-up decision, while costs of claiming seem to play a minor role. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.356279.de/diw_sp0294.pdf SOEP GB 6154 Humpert, Stephan 2010 Machen Kinder doch glücklich?

I use data from the German Socio-Economic Panel and implement two alternative decomposition methodologies; the Juhn, Murphy and Pierce (1991) decomposition, and a methodology that totally differences the Oaxaca-Blinder (1973) decomposition, found in Smith and Welch (1989). I conclude that most of the increase in the gender wage gap occurred during a period of remarkably rising wage inequality and argue that both trends are caused simultaneously by the same set of factors. Furthermore, German women were, on average, treated favorably in the returns to their educational attainment, potential experience and tenure compared men, and that the increasing gender wage gap was mainly due to changes in the gender differentials in human capital endowments, particularly worker’s potential experience, changes in the gender distribution across industries, company sizes and occupational positions and to changes in discrimination in the returns to job-specific training." http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.355883.de/diw_sp0293.pdf SOEP GB 6152 Boeters, Stefan 2010 Optimal Tax Progressivity in Unionised Labour Markets: Simulation Results for Germany ZEW Discussion Paper No. 10-035 Mannheim Centre for European Economic Research Report simulation 30 Discussion Paper labour, transfer systems labour taxation, tax progressivity, optimal taxation, collective wage bargaining, unemployment, microsimulation, computable general equilibrium model Changing the income tax progressivity in labour markets with collective wage bargaining generates a trade-off. On the one hand, higher progressivity distorts individual labour supply decisions at the hours-of-work margin, on the other hand, it reduces unemployment by exerting downward pressure on wages. This trade-off is quantitatively assessed using a numerical model for Germany. The model combines a microsimulation module, which captures the labour-supply decisions of approximately 4600 individual households, and a macro (computable general equilibrium) module, which features collective wage bargaining and involuntary unemployment. In the simulations carried out using this model, the optimal degree of tax progressivity turns out to be higher than the one in the actual German tax schedule. The optimum is located at marginal tax rates that are 6 percentage points higher than the actual rates (combined with a transfer that balances the public budget). The welfare gain from such a reform is modest, however. It amounts to no more than two euros per person per month. ftp://ftp.zew.de/pub/zew-docs/dp/dp10035.pdf SOEP GB 6151 Launov, Andrey and Wälde, Klaus 2010 Estimating Incentive and Welfare Effects of Non-Stationary Unemployment Benefits IZA DP No. 4958 Bonn Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) Report longitudinal 30 Discussion Paper labour, transfer systems non-stationary unemployment benefits, endogenous effort, matching model, structural estimation, semi-Markov process The distribution of unemployment duration in our equilibrium matching model with spell-dependent unemployment benefits displays a time-varying exit rate. Building on Semi-Markov processes, we translate these exit rates into an expression for the aggregate unemployment rate. Structural estimation using a German micro-data set (SOEP) allows us to discuss the effects of a recent unemployment benefit reform (Hartz IV). The reform reduced unemployment by only 0.3%. Contrary to general beliefs, we find that both employed and unemployed workers gain (the latter from an intertemporal perspective). The reason is the rise in the net wage caused by more vacancies per unemployed worker. http://ftp.iza.org/dp4958.pdf SOEP GB 6150 Schramm, Florian 2008 Arbeitsrecht in der betrieblichen Anwendung.

Der Band informiert umfassend über aktuelle, empirische Erkenntnisse aus dem Projekt Arbeitsrecht in der betrieblichen Anwendung (AribA), dass sich diesem Thema an der Universität Hamburg über mehrere Jahre aus theoretischer und empirischer Perspektive gewidmet hat. Im Zentrum des Projektes stand die Frage nach der Wahrnehmung und Umsetzung des Arbeitsrechts durch Personalverantwortliche. In der Kenntnis dieser Zusammenhänge liegt ein Schlüssel für das Verständnis und für eine genaue Bewertung der personalwirtschaftlichen Wirkungen arbeitsrechtlicher Vorschriften. Das empirische Fundament des Projektes besteht aus einer qualitativen Primärerhebung der arbeitsrechtlichen Praxis von Geschäftsführern und Personalleitern mit Hilfe von über 40 leitfadengestützten Experteninterviews im Jahr 2006. Quantitativ gerahmt werden diese Daten durch eine standardisierte Befragung mit 750 Personalverantwortlichen im Jahr 2007. Herausgearbeitet werden Ergebnisse zur betrieblichen Praxis im Umgang mit dem Arbeitsrecht. Die Ergebnisse zeigen insgesamt, dass sich sowohl die Wahrnehmung und Bewertung des Arbeitsrechts als auch dessen Konfliktlastigkeit oftmals anders gestaltet, als die öffentliche Diskussion vermuten lässt. Dieser Band richtet sich an Wissenschaft und Praxis der betrieblichen Personalarbeit sowie des Arbeitsrechts.

Changing patterns of selection into and out of relationships indicate that the determinants of marital surplus have altered between older cohorts who were born in the years after World War II and younger cohorts born in the 1960s. For younger cohorts, relationships between personality traits and the probability of marriage are identical for men and women, which is consistent with returns to marriage that are based on joint consumption. Tastes for marital public goods are negatively related to openness to experience (a desire for change and variety) and positively related to conscientiousness for both men and women. Selection into marriage is associated with distinctly different personality profiles for older men and older women, suggesting that gender-specialized contributions to household public goods were an important source of marital surplus for these cohorts. http://ftp.iza.org/dp4945.pdf SOEP GB 6148 Headey, Bruce, Muffels, Ruud and Wagner, Gert G. 2010 Choices Which Change Life Satisfaction: Revising SWB Theory to Account for Change SOEPpapers 302 Berlin DIW Berlin 2010: IZA DP No. 4953. Bonn: Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) Report longitudinal 30 Discussion Paper family and networks, subjective indicators, miscellaneous SWB, set-point theory, life goals, individual choice, panel regression analysis, SOEP Using data from the long-running German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) 1984-2008, this paper analyses the effects of individual preferences and choices on subjective well-being (SWB). It is shown that preferences and choices relating to life goals/values, partner’s personality, hours of work, social participation and healthy lifestyle all have substantial effects on life satisfaction. The results have negative implications for the still dominant theory of SWB, set-point theory. This theory holds that adult SWB does not change in the medium or long term, although temporary fluctuations occur due to specific life events. Set-point theory has come under increasing criticism in recent years, primarily due to unmistakable evidence in SOEP that, during the last 25 years, up to a third of the population has recorded substantial and apparently permanent changes in life satisfaction. It is becoming clear that the main challenge now for SWB researchers is to develop a new theory which can account for medium and long term change, and not merely stability in SWB. Set-point theory is limited precisely because it is purely a theory of stability. The paper is based on a specially constructed SOEP file in which data are divided into five 5-year periods in order to facilitate analysis of medium term change. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.356862.de/diw_sp0302.pdf SOEP GB 6147 Ermisch, John and Pronzato, Chiara Daniela 2010 Causal Effects of Parents' Education on Children's Education ISER Working Paper 2010-16 Colchester University of Essex Report citation of SOEP results 30 Discussion Paper intergenerational transmission, education, mother’s time, twin-estimator, sibling-estimator The paper shows that parents' education is an important, but hardly exclusive part of the common family background that generates positive correlation between the educational attainments of siblings from the same family. But the correlation between the educational attainments of parents and those of their children overstates considerably the causal effect of parents' education on the education of their children. Our estimates based on Norwegian twin-mothers indicate that an additional year of either mother's or father's education increases their children's education by about one-tenth of a year. While estimates of the effects based on father-twins are about 50% higher for both parents, we have reason to believe that these estimates are biased upwards. There is some evidence that the mother's effect is larger among poorer educated parents, while the father's effect is larger among better educated parents. We also find that the effect of mother's education is larger for daughters than sons. http://www.iser.essex.ac.uk/publications/working-papers/iser/2010-16.pdf GB 6146 Patricio Tavares, Lara 2010 Who delays childbearing?

Thesis cross-sectional 42 Dissertation migration, health Migration, health, SOEP The so-called 'healthy immigrant effect' (HIE) is one of the most striking findings concerning immigrants and their health status. It is usually said to consist of two parts: According to the first part, immigrants upon arrival are on average healthier than their native peers. This finding is mostly explained by self-selection among their origin population. The idea is that healthier individuals are more likely to migrate as they are more able to reap the reward of the investment ‘migration’ than less healthy individuals. However, according to the second part, this health gap between immigrants and natives closes after a relatively short period of time, and the health of immigrants is converging to that of the natives or is getting even worse. This gradient of immigrants’ health has been found in many countries (e.g., Australia, Canada, and the United States) and for many different measures of health (e.g., self-rated health, chronic diseases). The causes for this decline in immigrants’ health are subject to ongoing research, but the underlying processes are not yet fully understood. In literature, several different explanations are discussed: The adoption of destination-country habits and lifestyles, the structural and material relationship between a low socio-economic status and poor health, additional stress due to the migration process, persistent barriers to access to health care due to cultural or language factors, as well as a kind of 'statistical artefact' due to selection effects caused by return migration. As health is a rather complex concept, one can assume that none of the proposed explanations can solely explain the decline in immigrants’ health, but rather that the health deterioration is a result of different interacting causes. This thesis investigates three of the proposed possible explanations for a decline in immigrants’ health, namely return migration, the adoption of destination-country habits and lifestyles, and immigrants’ access to health care and utilisation of health care services. http://www.opus-bayern.de/uni-bamberg/volltexte/2009/196/pdf/Sander2009.pdf SOEP GB 6144 Werner, Arndt 2007 Entrepreneurial Signaling.

Damit innovative Neugruendungen jedoch erfolgreich am Markt agieren koennen, muessen sie typische Probleme ueberwinden, die sich aus den asymmetrisch verteilten Informationen zu den wichtigsten Marktpartnern ergeben. Mit diesem theoretisch spannenden und wirtschaftspolitisch wichtigen Problem beschaeftigt sich die vorliegende Arbeit von Arndt Werner. Der Autor geht vor allem der Frage nach, inwieweit Signaling – seit Spence (1973) als eines der wichtigsten Instrumente zur Behebung von Informationsasymmetrien bekannt – helfen kann, Informationsprobleme innovativer Neugruendungen beim Zugang zur Startfinanzierung, aber auch bei der Rekrutierung von qualifizierten Arbeitskraeften zu loesen. Im Ergebnis zeigen die theoretischen und empirischen Analysen, dass mit Hilfe von hoeheren Bildungssignalen sowohl der Rekrutierungserfolg als auch der Zugang zu Gruendungskrediten verbessert werden kann. Gleichzeitig reduziert der Besitz eines Patentes die Schwierigkeit der Kreditbeschaffung im Segment innovativer Neugruendungen. Wesentliche Erkenntnis der Arbeit ist, dass Informationsasymmetrien fuer innovative Unternehmensgruendungen ein nicht zu vernachlaessigendes Problem darstellen und dass Unternehmensgruender durch das Senden von Bildungssignalen zur Reduktion dieser Informationsasymmetrien und damit zur Verminderung von Finanz- und Arbeitsmarktproblemen beitragen koennen. (Unlike traditional start-ups, innovative start-ups and their respective market partners are faced with severe problems of asymmetric information due to their lack of prior production history and reputation. Here, we study whether and how entrepreneurial signaling via education can help innovative entrepreneurs signal their abilities to banks and prospective employees. We argue that innovative entrepreneurs signal their quality by means of certain characteristics of their educational history. In particular, we expect potential employees to use an entrepreneur's university degree as a quality signal when deciding whether to accept a job at an innovative start-up, and we expect banks to use a more precise indicator, namely the actual length of study in relation to a standard length, as a signal when deciding to extend credit to an innovative founder. By contrast, traditional start-ups are not faced with the same problems of asymmetric information, so we do not expect employees or banks to require the same signals from them. We empirically test our hypotheses using a dataset of more than 700 German start-ups collected in 1998/99. All hypotheses are borne out by the data.)

Building on the theoretical framework of social exchange, we use German data to test a conceptual model relating self-rated health to sickness-related absence, as well as the interaction between self-rated health and civic participation. We used the 1996 wave of the German Socio-Economic Panel Study. Since sickness-related absence is a censored variable, we used a tobit regression model. The results confirmed the hypotheses: the effect between self-rated health and sickness-related absence was modified by civic participation, indicating that the effect of self-rated health on sickness-related absence is less pronounced for people who participate more as opposed to those who report less civic participation. In other words, those who are unhealthy and participate more, are fewer days absent from work. We argue that civic participation buffers the relationship between self-rated health and sickness-related absence because those who participate more have more resources to fulfill self-regulatory needs. Our findings emphasize the importance of civic participation outside the workplace for people at work when they do not feel physically well.

Combining micro- level data from the German Socioeconomic Panel and industry-level trade data from input-output tables, we examine the impacts on (1) job-to-unemployment transitions and (2) annual earnings. The probability of becoming unemployed rises when workers are employed in Trade Sensitive industries and decreases for workers in Trade Gaining industries. Wage effects are statistically significant for three of four trade-exposed groups of industries, but they are relatively small.

Report cross-sectional 32 SOEPpaper gender, Subjective indicators Gender, Management, Subjective well-being This study used data from the German Socio-economic Panel to examine gender differences in the extent to which self-reported subjective well-being was associated with occupying a high-level managerial position in the labour market, compared with employment in nonleadership, non-high-level managerial positions, unemployment, and non-labour market participation. Our results indicated that a clear hierarchy exists for men in term of how status within the labour market was associated with subjective life satisfaction. Unemployed men were the least satisfied, followed by men who were not in the labour market, while men in leadership positions reported the highest level of subjective life satisfaction. For women, no statistically significant differences were observed among women in high-level managerial positions, women who worked in non-high-level positions, and women who specialized in household production, with no market work. Only women who were unemployed reported lower levels of life satisfaction, compared with women in other labour-market statuses. Our results lend evidence to the contention that men can “have it all”, but women must still choose between career and family in Germany. We argue that interventions need to address how the non-pecuniary rewards associated with high-level managerial and leadership positions can be increased for women. Such policies would also likely serve to mitigate the “pipeline” problem concerning the number of women who are available to move into high positions in the private sector. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.356646.de/diw_sp0299.pdf SOEP GB 6132 Schupp, Jürgen and Frick, Joachim R. 2010 Multidisciplinary Household Panel Studies under Academic Direction RatSWD Working Paper No. 140 Berlin Rat für Sozial- und WirtschaftsDaten (RatSWD) Report methodological 30 Discussion Paper methods household panels, multidisciplinary surveys, reference datasets "This paper concentrates on the trends in peer-reviewed longitudinal panel studies under scientific direction. Household panel studies have succeeded in broadening their disciplinary scope. Numerous innovations such as questions dealing with psychological concepts, and age-specific topical modules, physical health measures, measures of cognitive capabilities, behavioral experiments have been incorporated into various panel studies or are soon to be introduced. In the UK, the household panel study Understanding Society comprising 40,000 households was launched in 2009 and recently added an “innovation sample”; in the Netherlands, the new LISS household panel study launched in 2006 with over 5,000 households will be used for the testing of innovative measurement methods. The microdata from household panel studies like PSID (US Household Panel Study), BHPS (the predecessor of UK HLS), HILDA (Australian Panel Study), and SOEP (German Socio-Economic Panel) are in continuously high demand by the research and policy advisory community. More important than “discovering” entirely new survey areas is “tailoring” the details of existing survey content to new, more specific (theoretical) questions, and thus maintaining proven and widely used elements of survey content. In the years to come, “tailoring” survey content will be the real challenge facing surveys that are integrated into the existing research infrastructure like HILDA, LISS, PSID, SHP (Swiss Panel), SOEP, and Understanding Society. We argue that, in the future, household panel studies should be designed to take the “margins” of the life course more fully into account. Indeed, household surveys are ideally suited to gather comprehensive data on these life phases. They can be improved, on the one hand, by including specific topics about the fetal phase of life and early childhood of children born into the panel, and on the other hand, by including better information about late life and death. In the middle of the life course, improved questions on income, savings, consumption, and wealth, as well as psychological constructs will play a central role, as will specific “event-triggered” questionnaires on central life occurrences such as marriage, divorce, and entry into and exit from unemployment. In order to substantially improve the statistical power of long-term longitudinal data, we propose an absolute minimum number of observations of about 500 persons per birth and age cohort. As of now, only the British Understanding Society will meet this target. A positive side-effect of such an enlargement is a significantly improved potential for analyses of relatively small groups within the population: for example, lone parents or specific immigrant groups. Another positive side-effect would be an improved potential for regional analyses. For example, in Germany, a cohort size of about 500 persons implies a survey sample size of about 20,000 households, which is large enough for analyses in the majority of federal states. Multidisciplinary panel studies will become even more important if they are accepted as reference datasets for specialized surveys that are independent of the original panel study (e.g., observational studies such as twin studies and laboratory or intervention studies). To enhance this important function, new types of service are needed, including advice on special surveys and possibly also data preparation for special surveys." http://www.ratswd.de/download/RatSWD_WP_2010/RatSWD_WP_140.pdf GB 6131 Mielke, Jahel 2010 Gemischte Ehe, erfolgreiche Integration Der Tagesspiegel online vom 18.

Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel, this is the first systematic research to examine the relationship between works councils and job satisfaction. It is shown that the relationship depends on the type of worker. The presence of a works council increases job satisfaction of full-time employed blue-collar workers. In general, councils do not have an influence on full-time employed white-collar workers. However, there is a negative association between works council presence and job satisfaction of managers. Furthermore, the presence of a workers council is associated with lower job satisfaction of non-full-time workers.

Ifo Dresden berichtet Dresden Ifo Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung 4 48-51 Magazine Article citation of SOEP results 62 Professional Newsletter Der innerdeutsche Brain Drain, also die Abwanderung von Akademikern in andere Bundesländer, nimmt bisher ein moderates Ausmaß an. Zehn Jahre nach Studienabschluss sind noch knapp über 70 % aller Absolventen im Bundesland ihres Studiums ansässig. Die Daten zeigen ferner, dass ein Wegzug, wenn er überhaupt stattfindet, in den ersten Jahren direkt nach Studienabschluss vollzogen wird. Je länger ein Absolvent bereits vor Ort verblieben ist, umso geringer ist die Wahrscheinlichkeit für einen späteren Wegzug. Speziell für Ostdeutschland besteht Anlass zu verhaltenem Optimismus. Die ostdeutschen Bundesländer erweisen sich als attraktive Studienorte, die talentierte junge Menschen von außerhalb anziehen. Wenn es gelingt, diese zukünftigen Absolventen auch im Lande zu halten, kann dies das Humankapital vor Ort und damit das Wirtschaftswachstum erhöhen. http://www.cesifo-group.de/link/ifodb_2007_4_48_51.pdf D 6118 Bonin, Holger, Falk, Armin and Schneider, Hilmar 2007 Workfare - praktikabel und gerecht Ifo Schnelldienst 60 4 33-37 Magazine Article citation of SOEP results 62 Professional Newsletter http://www.cesifo-group.de/pls/guest/download/ifo%20Schnelldienst/ifo%20Schnelldienst%202007/ifosd_2007_4_5.pdf D 6117 Öztürz, Halit 2009 Weiterbildungsbeteiligung von Menschen mit Migrationshintergrund in Deutschland Aus Politik und Zeitgeschichte (APuZ) 41 5 Journal Article cross-sectional 04 Other Journal migration, education http://www.bpb.de/publikationen/OW5V15,0,Weiterbildungsbeteiligung_von_Menschen_mit_Migrationshintergrund_in_Deutschland.html SOEP D 6116 Schmitt, Christian 2007 Familiengründung und Erwerbstätigkeit im Lebenslauf Aus Politik und Zeitgeschichte (APuZ) 39 7 3-7 Journal Article mentions of the SOEP study 04 Other Journal Der Beitrag beleuchtet die enge zeitliche Koppelung von Familiengründungsphase und Erwerb im Lebenslauf sowie die Konsequenzen für das Geburtenverhalten.

So verfügen inter-ethnisch lebende Migrantinnen und Migranten über eine höhere Schulbildung, einen besseren beruflichen Status und durchschnittlich höhere Löhne als solche in intra-ethnischen Beziehungen. Daten des Sozio-Oekonomischen Panels (SOEP) zeigen, dass sich vor allem Migrantinnen und Migranten in Beziehungen mit Einheimischen im Durchschnitt als besonders kommunikativ und offen einschätzen. Deutsche in inter-ethnischen Beziehungen unterscheiden sich hingegen diesbezüglich nicht von jenen in deutsch-deutschen Partnerschaften. Auch Risikobereitschaft und allgemeine Lebenszufriedenheit liegen bei den deutschen Partnern nicht über dem Durchschnitt. Migranten und Migrantinnen in inter-ethnischen Beziehungen sind dagegen nach eigener Aussage besonders risikofreudig und politisch interessiert. Sie sehen sich zudem seltener Diskriminierungen ausgesetzt als Migrantinnen und Migranten, die in intra-ethnischen Partnerschaften leben. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.353483.de/10-11-3.pdf SOEP D 6114 Geyer, Johannes and Steiner, Viktor 2010 Künftige Altersrenten in Deutschland: relative Stabilität im Westen, starker Rückgang im Osten Wochenbericht des DIW Berlin 77 11 2-11 Journal Article simulation 05 DIW Weekly Report income and poverty, transfer systems Old-age pension, Lifetime employment, Cohort effects Die Entwicklungen auf dem Arbeitsmarkt in den letzten Jahrzehnten und die jüngsten Rentenreformen werden sich erheblich auf die Rentenansprüche künftiger Rentnergenerationen auswirken. Dies zeigt eine aktuelle Studie des DIW Berlin im Auftrag der Deutschen Rentenversicherung. Während die Entwicklung in Westdeutschland auch künftig durch ein relativ stabiles durchschnittliches Rentenniveau der Männer und einen Anstieg der Rentenanwartschaften bei den Frauen gekennzeichnet ist, muss in Ostdeutschland sowohl bei den Frauen als auch bei den Männern mit einem deutlichen Rückgang der durchschnittlichen Rentenansprüche der jüngeren Geburtskohorten gegenüber dem bisherigen Rentenniveau gerechnet werden. Dies ist vor allem auf die hohe Arbeitslosigkeit nach der Wende und damit einhergehende unvollständige Erwerbsbiografien sowie auf geringe Löhne im Osten zurückzuführen. In geringerem Umfang wirken sich auch die Reformen zur Stabilisierung der Finanzierung der Gesetzlichen Rentenversicherung aus. Schreibt man diese Entwicklungen fort, so sinkt der durchschnittliche Rentenzahlbetrag der jüngeren ostdeutschen Geburtskohorten unter das durchschnittliche Niveau der Grundsicherung im Alter. Sollte sich der Arbeitsmarkt indes günstiger als hier in einem Basisszenario angenommen entwickeln, wird dieser negative Trend zwar nicht aufgehoben, aber deutlich abgeschwächt. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.353479.de/10-11-1.pdf SOEP D 6113 Geyer, Johannes and Steiner, Viktor 2010 Künftige Altersrenten und der Wandel der Erwerbsbiografien - Eine Mikrosimulation für Deutschland Deutsche Rentenversicherung 65 1 34-47 Journal Article simulation 04 Other Journal income and poverty, transfer systems Wir analysieren auf der Basis eines Mikrosimulationsmodells und einer integrierten Datenbasis der deutschen Rentenversicherungsstatistik und dem Sozio-oekonomischen Panel die zukünftigen Altersrenten der Geburtskohorten 1937–71. Das Mikrosimulationsmodell bildet Änderungen des Erwerbsverhaltens im demografischen Wandel im Kontext langfristiger Rentenreformen ab. Berücksichtigt werden dabei auch die Effekte der Anhebung des gesetzlichen Rentenalters und der Absenkung des Rentenniveaus durch den Nachhaltigkeitsfaktor. Die Simulationsergebnisse zeigen, dass sowohl die Arbeitsmarktentwicklungen seit der Wiedervereinigung als auch die jüngsten Rentenreformen erhebliche Auswirkungen auf die Rentenansprüche, insbesondere der jüngeren Geburtskohorten, haben werden. Dabei zeigen sich deutliche Unterschiede zwischen Ost- und Westdeutschland, aber auch nach Geschlecht und dem Bildungsabschluss. Dramatisch ist der Rückgang der Rentenansprüche bei den jüngeren Geburtskohorten in Ostdeutschland, wenn die ungünstige Arbeitsmarktentwicklung seit der Wiedervereinigung anhält. Bei einer günstigeren Arbeitsmarktentwicklung wird die negative Entwicklung der Renten bei den jüngeren Geburtskohorten in Ostdeutschland zwar deutlich abgeschwächt, aber nicht aufgehoben.

In particular, the 2005 wave of the German Socio-Economic Panel provides detailed information on socio-economic background characteristics along with a Big Five personality scale. Estimates of a Logit model and of count data regression are used to analyze an empirical model based on the theory of hedonic labour market outcomes. These estimates allow us to test hypotheses on the influence of the Big Five personality traits on work attendance. We find clear negative correlations between the probability to be absent and Conscientiousness as well as Agreeableness. We find a strong positive impact of Neuroticism on work attendance decisions in general and clues for a positive impact of Extraversion among men. When looking at the length of absence occurrences the personality dimensions of Neuroticism and Agreeableness are found to significantly influence male absenteeism. Implications of our results are discussed. http://ftp.iza.org/dp4927.pdf SOEP GB 6109 Müller, Kai-Uwe and Steiner, Viktor 2010 Labor Market and Income Effects of a Legal Minimum Wage in Germany IZA DP No. 4929 Bonn Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) 2010: DIW Discussion Paper 1000. Berlin: DIW Berlin Report simulation 30 Discussion Paper income and poverty, transfer systems minimum wage, wage distribution, employment effects, income distribution, inequality, microsimulation In view of rising wage and income inequality, the introduction of a legal minimum wage has recently become an important policy issue in Germany. We analyze the distributional effects of a nationwide legal minimum wage of 7.50 € per hour on the basis of a microsimulation model which accounts for the complex interactions between individual wages, the tax-benefit system and net household incomes, also taking into account potential employment effects as well as indirect effects on consumption. Simulation results show that the minimum wage would be rather ineffective in raising net household incomes and reducing income inequality, even if it led to a substantial increase in hourly wages at the bottom of the wage distribution. The ineffectiveness of a minimum wage in Germany is mainly due to the existing system of means-tested income support and the position of minimum wage earners in the income distribution. http://ftp.iza.org/dp4929.pdf SOEP GB 6108 Siegel, Nico A., Huber, Simon, Gensicke, Andrea, Geue, Dirk, Stimmel, Salma and Stutz, Friedrich 2010 SOEP 2009 Methodenbericht zum Befragungsjahr 2009 (Welle 26) des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels München TNS Infratest Sozialforschung Report technical documentation 36 Infratest Report methods SOEP D 6107 Schupp, Jürgen 2010 Aspekte sozialer Ungleichheit in Deutschland Zeitschrift für Wirtschaftspolitik 59 1 6-22 Journal Article citation of SOEP results 03 Refereed Journal Social inequality is one of the fundamental themes of sociology and has received increasing attention in recent years, not only in economics but also in the public debate. Alongside the attempt to locate this topic in the context of the current social science research, this paper seeks to introduce broader normative dimensions of social inequality and discuss questions regarding its legitimacy. In Germany, the principle of needs-based justice enjoys high legitimacy, but in many respects, its objectives conflict with those of the principle of meritocratic justice. Based on the examples of education and income, the paper shows that upward mobility has stagnated in Germany in recent years, confirming suspicions that talent reserves are not being developed. The paper ends with a discussion of potential unintended consequences of the growing tendency towards a polarization of social inequality.

While the economic literature suggests that reciprocity can mitigate this problem, it remains silent on the optimal degree of reciprocity. We present a representative model demonstrating that reciprocity may increase productive effort but may also increase unproductive effort such as socializing on the job. The model implies that reciprocity increases profit up to a point but decreases profit beyond that point. Using detailed survey measures of worker reciprocity, we show that the probability of receiving profit sharing takes an inverse U-shape as reciprocity increases. This supports the general implication of the model and is shown to exist for both positive and negative reciprocity and to remain when a series of ability proxies and detailed industry indicators are included. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.355882.de/diw_sp0292.pdf SOEP GB 6103 Dütschke, Elisabeth and Boerner, Sabine 2009 Flexible Employment as a Unidirectional Career?

In two field experiments, we asked for employers’ evaluation of applicants with a flexible employment history. Results indicate that former part-time work is in fact perceived as a disadvantage for candidates when applying for a permanent full-time position while other types of flexible work (e.g., fixed term contracts, part-time work, and interorganizational mobility) are not.

Using data from the German Socio-economic Panel (SOEP) we examine causes and extent of old age poverty in Germany. We begin our inquiry with a cross section regression in order to determine the impact of several factors on retirement incomes in Germany. In the second step we perform an income projection of today’s 50 to 55 year-old people for the year 2023. In doing so, we take into account different sources of income, including several forms of capital income and the calculated rent of owner-occupied houses and flats. We find a significant rise in old age poverty especially in East Germany as a consequence of rising unemployment after the German unification. http://www.iwh-halle.de/d/publik/disc/8-10.pdf SOEP D 6101 Irle, Mathias and König, Katharina 2009 Die Besserverdienerinnen Brand eins Hamburg 10 4 70-76 Magazine Article citation of SOEP results 60 Popular Publication Männer bekommen im Durchschnitt für die gleiche Arbeit noch immer rund 25 Prozent mehr Lohn - kaum eine Zahl wird so oft und so selbstverständlich als Beweis für die noch immer vorhandene Diskriminierung von Frauen in der Arbeitswelt zitiert.

The first stage in this paper discusses the results that are linked to the use of PPP. This will also entail examining whether, and to what extent, state intervention can be justified economically in stationary health care. In the second step, this paper extends this perspective in a double sense. Firstly, a greatly extended understanding of the PPP concept is used and, secondly, institutional economic theory is drawn upon to widen the perspective. The intention is to analyse and to evaluate different co-ordination procedures as well as their significance for the health-care system. Besides the two poles of state and market, intermediate forms of organization along this continuum, such as self governance, honorary positions and social networks, are examined.

This is what we found in an exploratory study based on semi-structured interviews with managers and employees in 22 outlets of 18 different retail companies and two retail head-offices in Saxony (former East Germany). Even though German labour law requires all employees to be treated equally, the unemployment rate of around 15 percent in the region induces many mini-jobbers to accept wages almost half the collective bargaining rate. As a rule they don’t get paid holidays and sickness absence, are called in to work and sent home at short notice, receive hardly any training and can be made redundant any time since many do not have a written work contract. Confronted with managers threatening with job cuts and shop closures, works councillors do not seem to insist on equal treatment. Some large retailers bound by collective bargaining evade trade union influence by employing their mini-jobbers in the name of newly founded non-union service companies.

Hierzu fand im November 2007 eine Internationale Tagung dieser Institutionen in Brüssel statt (nähere Informationen unter: www.beyond-gdp.eu). Diese Diskussion knüpft an die Forderungen, die die World Commission on Environment and Development (Brundtland Commission) der Vereinten Nationen bereits 1987 formulierte: neue Wege zu beschreiten, um den nachhaltigen Fortschritt von Ländern zu messen und zu bewerten, an. Anfang Januar 2008 beauftragte der französische Präsident Nicolas Sarkozy die Nobelpreisträger Amartya Sen und Joseph Stiglitz, einen Indikator zu entwickeln, der das „Glücksempfinden“ und den Lebensstandard in der Bevölkerung messen soll. Um Indikatoren für die Wohlfahrt zu finden, muss man aber jenseits der Kategorien der Volkswirtschaftlichen Gesamtrechnung suchen. http://www.ruckriegel.org/papers/WiSt_06-08_-_Ruckriegel.pdf D 6090 Gießelmann, Marco 2008 Einsteiger und Wiedereinsteiger als Verlierer des arbeits-, sozialpolitischen und ökonomischen Wandels?

Many studies about the working poor have not shown a serious change in the material living conditions of the employed, though. This can be explained by the basic constitution of the German welfare state and labour market, which protect established employees from the effects of reforms, and consequently from a decrease of their labour market position. However, this does not apply for persons, who are not protected through previous employment. Accordingly empirical analyses on the basis of the Gsoep show that low-wage work and poverty have spread among entrants and re-entrants to the labour market. Thus, with regard to the overall development of the working poor rate, risks of these groups have increased disproportionately. http://ceress.uni-koeln.de/projekte/p19giesselmann2008.pdf SOEP D 6089 Reinowski, Eva and Sauermann, Jan 2007 Befristete Beschäftigung, berufliche Weiterbildung und ihre Finanzierung Research Note No. 10 Berlin Rat für Sozial- und WirtschaftsDaten (RatSWD) 2007: RatSWD Working Paper No. 14. Berlin: Rat für Sozial- und WirtschaftsDaten (RatSWD) Report cross-sectional 30 Discussion Paper education, labour Berufliche Weiterbildung, Arbeit Ähnlich wie in anderen europäischen Ländern wurde der Einsatz von befristeten Beschäftigungsverhältnissen in Deutschland seit den 1980ern vereinfacht. Als Folge dieser Vereinfachungen nimmt die Bedeutung dieser Beschäftigungsform zu. Der Vorteil befristeter Beschäftigungsverhältnisse für Arbeitgeber liegt vor allem in der Einsparung von institutionellen Kündigungskosten sowie der Möglichkeit einer „Verlängerung“ der Probezeit. Auf der Arbeitnehmerseite können befristete Beschäftigungsverhältnisse mit geringeren Aufstiegschancen oder unsicheren Erwerbsverläufen einhergehen. Daneben wird ein negativer Effekt auf Investitionen in berufliche Weiterbildung vermutet. Da dieser Zusammenhang in der theoretischen Diskussion nicht eindeutig ist, wird eine empirische Analyse für Deutschland durchgeführt. Im ersten Teil der Studie wird der Befristungseffekt für geringqualifiziert Beschäftigte mit Daten des Mikrozensus untersucht. Gerade für diese Gruppe wird lifelong learning als besonders notwendig angesehen, wenngleich Möglichkeiten zur Weiterbildung in der Realität nur eingeschränkt bereitgestellt und genutzt werden. Inhalt des zweiten Teils ist eine Analyse der Finanzierung beruflicher Weiterbildung auf Basis des Sozio- Oekonomischen Panels. Ziel ist dabei, Unterschiede im Investitionsverhalten zwischen Arbeitgebern und Arbeitnehmern aufzudecken. In beiden Teilen muss für einen möglichen Selektionseffekt aufgrund beobachtbarer oder unbeobachtbarer Heterogenitäten kontrolliert werden. Dazu wird zum einen eine Vergleichsgruppe für die befristet Beschäftigten konstruiert (Matchingverfahren), zum anderen wird eine simultane Probitschätzung durchgeführt. Für beide Teile der Analyse wird ein signifikanter Einfluss befristeter Beschäftigung auf Humankapitalinvestitionen nachgewiesen. Für Personen, die geringqualifizierte Tätigkeiten ausführen, findet sich ein signifikant positiver Effekt. Hinsichtlich der Finanzierung beruflicher Weiterbildung lässt sich ein negativer Befristungeseffekt auf Arbeitgeberinvestitionen nachweisen. Dagegen investieren befristet Beschäftigte mit höherer Wahrscheinlichkeit selbst in ihr Humankapital. http://ratswd.de/download/RatSWD_RN_2007/RatSWD_RN_10.pdf SOEP, Microcensus D 6088 Ratcliffe, Anita 2010 Housing wealth or economic climate: Why do house prices matter for well-being? CMPO Working Paper No. 10/234 Bristol Centre for Market and Public Organisation Report citation of SOEP results 30 Discussion Paper subjective indicators, income and poverty well being, housing, income and poverty, subjective indicators This study investigates whether and why house prices matter for well-being. House prices may influence well-being via a wealth/access-to-credit mechanism, as a rise in prices increases housing wealth and the collateral value of a house, and via a relative concerns mechanism, if renters compare themselves to homeowners and vice versa. Alternatively, any correlation between house prices and well-being may simply reflect broader economic conditions rather than a causal effect. Using local area house price data, this study distinguishes between these alternative explanations by comparing the correlation between local house prices and well-being for homeowners and renters. A small positive correlation between house prices and well-being exists for both homeowners and renters, indicating the absence of a wealth/credit mechanism or relative concerns mechanism. This correlation cannot be explained by economic variables such as local unemployment, earnings or earnings expectations, hinting at a purely psychological phenomenon. http://www.bristol.ac.uk/cmpo/publications/papers/2010/wp234.pdf GB 6087 Grundig, Beate and Pohl, Carsten 2007 Demographischer Wandel in Ostdeutschland: Fluch oder Segen für den Arbeitsmarkt?

Nevertheless, since the reunification at the latest we observe a continuous increase in part-time employment. On the basis of the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP) from 1991 to 2006, we investigate how many women and men do work part-time, how participation in part-time employment varies by age groups and – estimating logistic regression models – which factors facilitate the transition to work either part-time or full-time amongst women. The proportion of part-timers also increased amongst male employees – almost one in ten male employees is a part-timer and just under half of female employees work part-time – however, women are predominant amongst part-timers: four in five part-timers are female. Above-average shares of part-time employment show amongst women aged 36 and elder. Furthermore, elderly employees as well as labour market entrants have experienced a significant increase in the prevalence of part-time employment. For women, both motherhood and marriage increase the likelihood to work part-time. However, women from East Germany are less likely to work part-time than are those from West Germany, and that is also the case when they have children. In addition, part-time employment permits transitions into full-time positions more often amongst employees from East Germany. Apparently, part-time employment helps to combine family and working life continuously, but this arrangement is more frequently chosen by mothers in West Germany.

The cross-sectional and longitudinal features of these studies were used to isolate age-related changes from confounding factors including instrumentation effects and cohort effects. Although estimated satisfaction trajectories varied somewhat across studies, two consistent findings emerged. First, both studies show that life satisfaction does not decline over much of adulthood. Second, there is a steep decline in life satisfaction among those older than 70. The British data also showed a relatively large increase in satisfaction from the 40s to the early 70s. Thus, age differences in well-being can be quite large and deserve increased empirical and theoretical attention.

We look first on density rates and how they have changed among blue and white collar workers as well as civil servants. Secondly, we classify these groups with respect to qualifications and look for possible patterns. The findings show that the erosion of union membership concerns smaller as well as bigger firms; only large firms with more than 4,000 employees seem to be stable union domains. Logistic regression analyses show that union membership depends on firm size, occupational status and economic attitudes. We introduce an index of economic freedom which negatively influences union membership. In regard to future union policy the results suggest: First, unions should strengthen existing firm-specific union domains; and secondly, union policy should accommodate the more liberal economic attitudes of employees."

In fact the number of unemployed recipients of Hartz IV benefits drastically went down during the last economic rebound. In earlier economic cycles the number of unemployed recipients of social benefits had stagnated in phases of recovery. But this alone is only a weak sign for success: Firstly, unemployment on the whole decreased more than in previous economic recoveries, and secondly, reentering the labor market is a longer process for Hartz IV recipients than for other unemployed persons. This means that for Hartz IV recipients, the development of worklessness is less linked to the overall economic labor demand than for other unemployed persons. This is partly due to the fact that many of them lack professional training and have only a slim chance to get a new job. Additionally, they often live in areas with considerable labor market problems. Insofar it is indeed a success if unemployment rates drastically went down also for social benefits recipients. There were no significant changes in the willingness to take a job that was offered. The overwhelming majority of unemployed persons was willing to accept a job both before and after the reform. On the whole, Hartz IV recipients are just as willing to work as the rest of the unemployed persons. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.356125.de/diw_wr_2010-12.pdf SOEP GB 6074 Dolls, Mathias, Fuest, Clemens and Peichl, Andreas 2010 Automatic Stabilizers, Economic Crisis and Income Distribution in Europe IZA DP No. 4917 Bonn Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) Report simulation 30 Discussion Paper income and poverty, transfer systems automatic stabilization, crisis, inequality, redistribution This paper investigates to what extent the tax and transfer systems in Europe protect households at different income levels against losses in current income caused by economic downturns like the present financial crisis. We use a multi country micro simulation model to analyse how shocks on market income and employment are mitigated by taxes and transfers. We find that the aggregate redistributive effect of the tax and transfer systems increases in response to the shocks. But the extent to which households are protected differs across income levels and countries. In particular, there is little stabilization of disposable income for low income groups in Eastern and Southern European countries. http://ftp.iza.org/dp4917.pdf EUROMOD GB 6073 Busch, Christopher and Peichl, Andreas 2010 The Development of Multidimensional Poverty in Germany 1985-2007 IZA DP No. 4922 Bonn Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) Report longitudinal 30 Discussion Paper income and poverty, transfer systems multidimensional measurement, poverty, deprivation, inequality This paper deals with concepts of multidimensional poverty measurement and applies them to Germany. Three concepts of poverty are examined and included into one multidimensional approach: economic well being, capability and social exclusion. The empirical application relies on indices introduced by Bourguigon and Chakravarty (2003), and Alkire and Foster (2008). It uses data from the German Socio-Economic Panel study. The indices are tested for their robustness in several aspects, and the influence of changing levels of substitutability between achievements on the poverty dimensions is examined. It transpires that the depth of poverty is relatively stable for the period 1985 to 2007. A structural analysis of the poor in 2007 reveals that the group at greatest risk of poverty is the unemployed. http://ftp.iza.org/dp4922.pdf SOEP GB 6072 Knies, Gundi 2010 Income Comparisons among Neighbours and Life Satisfaction in East and West Germany SOEPpaper 298 Berlin DIW Berlin 2010: ISER Working Paper 2010-11.

We find that the neighbourhood income effect for West Germany is negative and slightly more marked in neighbourhoods where the neighbours interact socially. In contrast, the coefficients on neighbourhood income in East Germany are positive, but not statistically significant. This suggests not only that there is a divide between East and West Germany, but also that neighbours may not be a relevant comparison group in societies that have comparatively low levels of neighbouring. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.356632.de/diw_sp0298.pdf, http://www.iser.essex.ac.uk/publications/working-papers/iser/2010-11.pdf SOEP GB 6071 Iacovou, Maria and Skew, Alexandra 2010 Household Structure in the EU ISER Working Paper 2010-10 Colchester University of Essex Report cross-sectional 30 Discussion Paper family and networks, international comparison Household, family, Europe "This paper maps key indicators of household structure across all countries for all countries of the expanded European Union except Malta.

A main aim of the paper is to discuss the extent to which the new EU member states of Eastern Europe display differences and similarities with the other countries of the EU. We find that the Eastern European countries are rather heterogeneous. The Czech Republic and Hungary are not dissimilar to the countries of North-Western Europe; by contrast, households in Slovenia, Slovakia and Poland closely resemble Southern European households.

The return to usual years of schooling across different occupations is found to be higher than that for actual years of education. In the case of correctly matched workers who have the ‘typical’ education in a certain occupation, there is no additional reward in earnings for natives compared to foreign workers. Immigrants, however, have significantly lower wage returns in being over-educated than natives but are penalized less for being under-educated. http://www.lisproject.org/publications/liswps/535.pdf LIS GB 6069 Gornick, Janet C. and Jäntti, Markus 2010 Women, Poverty, and Social Policy Regimes: A Cross-National Analysis Luxembourg Income Study Working Paper No. 534 Luxembourg Luxembourg Income Study (LIS) Report cross-sectional 30 Discussion Paper gender, income and poverty, international comparison, transfer systems "This paper assesses women’s poverty in 26 diverse LIS countries – five Anglophone countries, six Continental European countries, four Nordic countries, two Eastern European countries, three Southern European countries, and six Latin American countries.

(2) How does the overall pattern differ when we consider pre-transfer as well as post-transfer income, and when we consider absolute as well as relative poverty? (3) How do women’s poverty rates, compared to men’s, vary by family type, by educational attainment, and by labour market status? (4) How does our cross-national portrait of gender and poverty shift when we consider person-level income as well as household-level income? We conclude that: women’s market income lags men’s everywhere; public income transfers matter for reducing poverty disparities by gender; families are crucial venues for income support for partnered women, especially women with weak labor market attachment; single mothers remain extremely economically vulnerable in many countries; and institutional contexts matter." http://www.lisproject.org/publications/liswps/534.pdf LIS GB 6068 Rürup, Bert 2008 Schutz vor Niedriglöhnen oder Arbeitsplatzvernichter: Für und Wider die Festsetzung eines gesetzlichen Mindestlohns Ifo Schnelldienst 61 6 5-7 Magazine Article citation of SOEP results 62 Professional Newsletter Minimum wage, Employment effects, Labor Bietet ein allgemeiner Mindestlohn Schutz vor ausländischer Niedriglohnkonkurrenz, und sorgt er für existenzsichernde Einkommen?

CES Working Papers 2010.29 Paris Centre d'Economie de la Sorbonne Report cross-sectional 30 Discussion Paper labour, miscellaneous Job quality, sport, non-cognitive skills It is known that non-cognitive skills are an important determinant of success in life. However, their returns are not simple to measure and, as a result, only relatively few studies have dealt with this empirical question on the labour market. We consider sports practice as a way to improve or signal non-cognitive skills endowment. Therefore, the analysis of its impact on the labour market integration allows us to evaluate the returns of some specific non-cognitive skills. We test the hypothesis that sporty people -ceteris paribus- have access to higher quality of job thanks to the non-cognitive skills they have or they are supposed to have. Using objective measures of job quality, we demonstrate that being sporty does matter and that its effect cannot be award to any other extracurricular activities. ftp://mse.univ-paris1.fr/pub/mse/CES2010/10029.pdf SOEP GB 6066 Schräpler, Jörg-Peter, Schupp, Jürgen and Wagner, Gert G. 2010 Individual and Neighborhood Determinants of Survey Nonresponse: An Analysis Based on a New Subsample of the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP), Microgeographic Characteristics and Survey-Based Interviewer Characteristics SOEPpapers 288 Berlin DIW Berlin Report methodological 32 SOEPpaper methods Nonresponse, interviewer effects, microgeographic data, multilevel modeling, SOEP This study examines the phenomenon of nonresponse in the first wave of a refresher sample (subsample H) of the German Socio-Economic Panel Study (SOEP). Our first step is to link additional (commercial) microgeographic data on the immediate neighborhoods of the households visited by interviewers. These additional data (paradata) provide valuable information on respondents and nonrespondents, including milieu or lifestyle, dominant household structure, desire for anonymity, frequency of moves, and other important microgeographic information. This linked information is then used to analyze nonresponse. In a second step, we also use demographic variables for the interviewer from an administrative data set about the interviewers, and, in a third step, we use the results of a special interviewer survey. We use multilevel statistical modeling to examine the influence of neighborhoods and interviewers on non-contacts, inability to participate, and refusals. In our analysis, we find our additional variables useful for understanding and explaining non-contacts and refusals and the inability of some respondents to participate in surveys. These data provide an important basis for filling the information gap on response and nonresponse in panel surveys (and in cross-sectional surveys). However, the effect sizes of these effects are negligible. Ignoring these effects does not cause significant biases in statistical inferences drawn from the survey under consideration. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.354686.de/diw_sp0288.pdf SOEP GB 6065 Trischler, Falko and Kistler, Ernst 2010 Gute Erwerbsbiographien - Erwerbsverläufe im Wandel Arbeitspapier 1 zum Forschungsprojekt Gute Erwerbsbiographien Stadtbergen Internationales Institut für Empirische Sozialökonomie (inifes) Report longitudinal 33 Other Grey Literature labour, income and poverty, transfer systems Das Projekt untersucht die Zusammenhänge zwischen Arbeitsbedingungen und Erwerbsbiographien und deren Auswirkungen auf die Absicherung durch die GRV. Dabei geht es um die Frage, inwieweit und für wen die Voraussetzungen einer höheren Beschäftigungsquote/Rente mit 67 (nicht) gegeben sind und welche Gruppen dadurch einem erhöhten Risiko (bis hin zur Altersarmut) ausgesetzt sind. Durch den Wandel der Erwerbsarbeit werden Beschäftigte zunehmend mit wachsender Unsicherheit konfrontiert. Arbeitslosigkeitsphasen und prekäre Beschäftigungsformen perforieren Erwerbsbiographien. Hinzu kommen Arbeitsbedingungen, die es vielen ArbeitnehmerInnen verunmöglichen, gesund bis zur Rente zu arbeiten. Über die Kumulation der Risiken liegen zu wenige Informationen vor. Geringe Einkommen, unstetige erwerbsbiographien, höhere Arbeitslosigkeit bzw. prekäre Beschäftigung, geringere Chancen des Tätigkeitswechsels, höhere und wenig alternsgerechte Arbeitsbelastungen korrelieren nicht nur, sondern kumulieren in ihrem Effekt – und das nicht nur mit Blick auf die Möglichkeiten länger arbeiten zu können, sondern ganz konkret auch bei den Rentenansprüchen bzw. entstehenden Zahlbeträgen der gesetzlichen Rente.

Die Rente mit 67 könnte diese Probleme verschärfen. www.boeckler.de/pdf_fof/S-2009-236-3-1.pdf SOEP D 6064 Wagner, Joachim 2009 Zehn Jahre European Data Watch.

Beatrice Scheubel, Center for Economic Studies (CES), und Joachim Winter, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, untersuchen das häufig vorgebrachten Argument, die Menschen seien im Alter gesundheitlich nicht mehr fit genug, um bis 67 arbeiten zu können. Sie analysieren repräsentative Befragungsdaten aus der Mannheimer SAVE-Studie über die Erwartungen der noch arbeitenden Bevölkerung hinsichtlich der individuellen Arbeitsfähigkeit im Alter. Es zeigt sich, dass das Bild, das in der öffentlichen Diskussion gezeichnet wird, zu düster ist. Die verbreitete Ablehnung einer Erhöhung des Rentenalters geht nicht unbedingt mit einer niedrigen individuellen Arbeitsfähigkeit im Alter einher. http://www.cesifo-group.de/pls/guest/download/ifo%20Schnelldienst/ifo%20Schnelldienst%202008/ifosd_2008_1_4.pdf SAVE D 6060 Enste, Dominik H. and Pimpertz, Jochen 2008 Wertschöpfungs- und Bechäftigungspotenziale auf dem Pflegemarkt in Deutschland bis 2050 IW-Trends 35 4 103-116 Journal Article citation of SOEP results 04 Other Journal Arbeitsmarktforschung, Pflege Der Pflegemarkt in Deutschland wies im Jahr 2007 ein Volumen von schätzungsweise 29 Milliarden Euro auf und leistete einen Beitrag zur Wertschöpfung in Höhe von rund 25 Milliarden Euro. Neben der Sozialen Pflegeversicherung (ca. 60 Prozent) werden die Kosten der Pflege vor allem von privaten Haushalten getragen (rund 31 Prozent). Knapp 9 Prozent übernehmen die Sozialhilfeträger im Rahmen der Hilfe zur Pflege. Im Pflegesektor sind 760.000 Arbeitnehmer tätig, die rund 549.000 sogenannten Vollzeitäquivalenten entsprechen. Die Anzahl der Beschäftigten in der Pflege hat sich von 1999 bis 2005 um 21,8 Prozent erhöht. Deshalb ist der Pflegesektor bereits heute ein wichtiger Faktor für die Beschäftigungsentwicklung. Die volkswirtschaftliche Bedeutung des Pflegemarktes in Deutschland wird in Zukunft deutlich zunehmen. Der Bedarf an Vollzeitbeschäftigten im Pflegesektor könnte sich bis zum Jahr 2050 auf bis zu 1,6 Millionen fast verdreifachen. Hauptgründe hierfür sind die zu erwartende Zunahme der Anzahl der Pflegebedürftigen auf bis zu 4 Millionen und der Trend zur stationären Pflege, der zu einer Verdreifachung der Pflegeheimplätze auf bis zu 2 Millionen führen könnte. http://www.iwkoeln.de/Portals/0/pdf/trends04_08_7.pdf D 6059 Horschel, Nicole and Pimpertz, Jochen 2008 Der Einfluss des Sozialstaates auf die Einkommensverteilung IW-Trends 35 2 69-80 Journal Article citation of SOEP results 04 Other Journal Im Zeitraum 1993 bis 2003 hat die Spreizung der am Markt erzielten Haushaltseinkommen in Deutschland deutlich zugenommen. Berücksichtigt man aber den Bezug öffentlicher Transfers sowie die Belastung der Haushalte mit Einkommensteuer und Sozialabgaben, dann fällt die Veränderung deutlich geringer aus. Die Relation der Haushaltsnettoeinkommen zwischen dem 9. und 2. Dezil ist im Vergleich mit dem Jahr 1993 sogar leicht gesunken. Offensichtlich konnte der Sozialstaat in Deutschland die wachsende Divergenz der Markteinkommen ausgleichen. So wurden die unteren und mittleren Einkommen bei der Einkommensteuer und den Sozialabgaben entlastet. Spiegelbildlich stieg der Anteil, den die 30 Prozent der Haushalte mit den höchsten Markteinkommen zum Einkommensteueraufkommen beigetragen haben, von 68 auf 72 Prozent an. Auch in der Sozialversicherung legte ihr Anteil am gesamten Beitragsvolumen zu. http://www.iwkoeln.de/Portals/0/pdf/trends02_08_5.pdf D 6058 Koppel, Oliver 2008 Ingenieurarbeitsmarkt in Deutschland - gesamtwirtschaftliches Stellenangebot und regionale Fachkräftelücken IW-Trends 35 2 81-95 Journal Article citation of SOEP results 04 Other Journal Arbeitsmarkt, Fachkräftemangel, Bildung Im Jahresdurchschnitt 2007 hat sich die bundesweite Ingenieurlücke im Vergleich zum Jahr 2006 nochmals deutlich erhöht. Besonders betroffen sind Baden- Württemberg, Nordrhein-Westfalen und Bayern, auf die zusammengenommen zwei Drittel der gesamten Ingenieurlücke entfallen. In Bayern fehlen de facto weit über zwei Absolventenjahrgänge, um die Ingenieurlücke zu schließen. In Sachsen, das seine Anstrengungen im Ingenieurbereich in der Vergangenheit deutlich verstärkt hat, ist es hingegen weniger als ein halber Jahrgang. Die Unternehmen melden lediglich jede siebte bis achte offene Stelle der Bundesagentur für Arbeit, die entsprechend nur einen kleinen Teil des gesamtwirtschaftlichen Stellenangebots im Ingenieurbereich ausweist. Folglich wird die Ingenieurlücke in der offiziellen Arbeitsmarktstatistik bislang deutlich unterzeichnet. Mit gezielten Weiterbildungsmaßnahmen und der Einstellung älterer Ingenieure versuchen die Unternehmen, den Ingenieurengpässen kurzfristig entgegenzuwirken. Auf lange Sicht wünschen sich die Unternehmen von der Politik, dass technisch-naturwissenschaftliche Kompetenzen bereits in der Schule stärker gefördert und die Rahmenbedingungen für ein technisches Studium verbessertwerden. http://www.iwkoeln.de/Portals/0/pdf/trends02_08_6.pdf D 6057 Ruetsch, Roseline 2009 Adipositas: Status des Freiburger Patientenkollektives zum Zeitpunkt der Erstvorstellung sowie Erfolge der Therapie Freiburg Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg, Medizinische Fakultät Thesis citation of SOEP results 42 Dissertation Fettsucht, Gastric-banding, Lebensform, Risikofaktor In den letzten Jahrzehten hat die Prävalenz von Übergewicht und Adipositas weltweit drastisch zugenommen. Übergewicht bezeichnet eine über das Normalmaß hinausgehende Erhöhung des Körpergewichts durch erhöhte Fettmasse. Neben einer genetischen Prädisposition sind die Hauptursachen ein zu geringes Bewegungsniveau sowie eine falsche Ernährungsweise.Unsere Studie hat retrospektiv die Daten 200 Adipöser untersucht, um einen epidemiologischen Bericht über eine „adipöse“ Lebensweise herzustellen. Ein weiteres Ziel der Studie bestand darin, die konservative Therapie mit der interventionellen zu vergleichen. In unseren Ergebnissen spiegeln sich die während der letzten Jahrzehnten stattgefundenen Entwicklung des Übergewichtes in Richtung Adipositas wider: untersuchte Adipöse zeigten durchschnittliche BMI-Werte über 45kg/m² und hatten meistens eine morbide Adipositas. Die Analyse verschiedener Charakteristika von Adipositas ergibt folgende Rückschlüsse: Adipositas ist mit niedrigerem sozioökonomischem Niveau verbunden und unsere Patienten gehören häufiger sowohl beruflich als privat benachteiligten Schichten. Ebenso erkennen wir die determinante Rolle der Familienanamnese: Adipöse Patienten sind sehr häufig schon adipöse Kinder gewesen und haben überdurchschnittlich eine positive Familienanamnese bezüglich Übergewicht/Adipositas. Eine andere Ursache der Adipositasentstehung liegt in den Essgewohnheiten. Die Prävalenz von Essstörungen ist bei Adipösen viel höher als in der Allgemeinbevölkerung: „Nibbling“, „Night Eating Syndrom“ und vor allem die „Binge-Eating-Störung“ sind die wichtigsten Essstörungen bei übergewichtigen Personen. Sättigungsregulationsstörungen charakterisieren ebenso die Essgewohnheiten der Adipösen. Ausserdem konnten wir die Rolle der sportlichen Aktivitäten in der Entwicklung von Adipositas bestätigen. Somit definiert die vorliegende Studie eine „adiposigene“ Lebensweise, die zu Entstehung von Übergewicht und Adipositas führt und erkennt Risikofaktoren, die mit schwergradiger Adipositas assoziert sind. In der Tat sind intensives Fernsehen, niedrigeres Abschlussniveau, Essanfällen, vorhandenes Sättigungsgefühl, fehlende professionelle Ausbildung sowie Adipositasentstehung während der Kindheit signifikant mit höheren BMI-Werten assoziert. Der Vergleich beider Therapieformen in unserer Studie liefert eindeutige Rückschlüsse: Patienten, die bei der Bekämpfung der Adipositas mit einem implantierten Magenband unterstützt wurden, zeigen am Ende des Beobachtungszeitraumes signifikant höhere Gewichtstverluste (p<0,001) sowie BMI-Verlust (p<0,001) als Patienten mit alleiniger konservativen Therapie. Ebenso ist der prozentuale Ausgangsgewichtsverlust bei operierten Patienten signifikant höher (p<0,001) als bei der Gruppe Ohne Intervention. Somit zeigt sich die Implantation eines Magenbandes bei extrem adipösen Patienten als eine signifikant erfolgreiche Methode. http://www.freidok.uni-freiburg.de/volltexte/6851/pdf/DissertationRuetsch.pdf SOEP D 6056 Freitag, Markus and Traunmüller, Richard 2008 Sozialkapitalwelten in Deutschland: Soziale Netzwerke, Vertrauen und Reziprozitätsnormen im subnationalen Vergleich Zeitschrift für Vergleichende Politikwissenschaft 2 1 221-256 Journal Article cross-sectional 03 Refereed Journal subjective indicators, miscellaneous Social Capital , Social Networks , Trust , Reciprocity , Subnational Analysis This article has two aims. First, we address the debated question of adequate conceptualization and measurement of social capital. Second, we present the first comparative analysis of social capital stocks in the German regions. Drawing on data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP) we consider a vast array of structural and cultural social capital indicators, i.e. social networks, trust, and – for the very first time in comparative social capital research – norms of reciprocity. Empirical evidence shows that social capital is not a coherent socio-cultural syndrome easily captured by a single measure. Rather, the concept comprises several distinct phenomena that are largely independent from each other. A separate inventory of different forms of social capital yields great regional variation with regards to social networks, trust, and norms of reciprocity. These patterns are explained by differences in cultural and structural conditions in the German regions. Last, social networks, trust, and norms of reciprocity show distinct consequences for regional political, economic, and social performance. http://kops.ub.uni-konstanz.de/volltexte/2009/7689/pdf/FreitagTraunmueller.pdf SOEP D 6055 Peter, Waltraut 2008 Die Entwicklung der Balance zwischen Erwerbstätigkeit und Sozialleistungsbezug in Deutschland IW-Trends 35 1 43-57 Journal Article citation of SOEP results 04 Other Journal Since 1980 the employment rate of the population aged 18 to 64 has decreased and the percentage of welfare and social security recipients has increased. Between 1980 and 2006 the latter went up by 11.8 percentage points while the employment rate went down 5.9 percentage points. The shift in the balance between welfare and work was mainly driven by high unemployment and policies. Its significance for the sustainability of Germany’s “social market economy” as the population shrinks and ages becomes obvious when it is embedded into the shift of the same balance within the whole population. Here the employment rate has decreased by 2.7 percentage points while the recipiency rate increased by 15.6 percentage points so that both rates have almost evened out. http://www.iwkoeln.de/Portals/0/PDF/trends01_08_1.pdf D 6054 Aschauer, Wolfgang 2009 Besonderheiten und Problemlagen der quantitativen Befragung bei MigrantInnen Weichbold Martin, Bacher Johann, Wolf Christof Umfrageforschung - Herausforderungen und Grenzen Wiesbaden VS Verlag für Sozialwissenschaften 293-315 10.1007/978-3-531-91852-5_15 Book Section mentions of the SOEP study 20 Book Section Scientific studies with migrants gain importance in the context of globalization but there is hardly any methodological reflection in survey research. Several research deals with sampling of migrants for representative studies but till now there is only little scientific analysis about survey errors during the fieldwork and in regard to the interview conditions. This article refers to measurement errors, which can be ascribed to the questionnaire, the interaction between the interviewer and the respondent and the behaviour of the migrant himself. These biases are analysed based on a study about the integration of migrants in the city of Salzburg. An accompanying analysis of possible measurement errors was done in the construction of the questionnaire as well as in the context of fieldwork. Because of the accurate documentation of the interviews and the methodological analysis of the results the article may open new perspectives in the field of quantitative survey research with migrants.

Sport might increase productivity due to better physical and social skills. Using the rich information from the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP), we estimate earnings functions with different sets of control variables. Large parts of the wage premium are explained by higher educational attainment of individuals who have participated in youth sports and who do sports as an adult. However, even after controlling for many productivity relevant characteristics (e. g., education, health, and soft skills) and sorting into firms and industries, sizable wage premiums remain. Interesting gender differences arise. Whereas youth sport effects are larger for females than for males, adult sport has only a positive wage effect for males.

Berlin: Freie Universität Report longitudinal 30 Discussion Paper migration, subjective indicators, miscellaneous This study analyzes the effects of right-wing extremism on the well-being of immigrants based on data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) for the years 1984 to 2006 merged with state-level information on election outcomes. The results show that the life satisfaction of immigrants is significantly reduced if right-wing extremism in the native population increases. Moreover, the life satisfaction of highly educated immigrants is affected more strongly than that of low-skilled immigrants. This supports the view that policies aimed at making immigration more attractive to the high-skilled have to include measures that reduce xenophobic attitudes in the native population. http://www.cesifo.de/DocCIDL/cesifo1_wp2841.pdf SOEP GB 6050 Fessler, Pirmin, Mooslechner, Peter and Schürz, Martin 2009 Stichprobenziehung bei Erhebung zu den Finanzen privater Haushalte im Euroraum Statistiken – Daten und Analysen 5 Q2/09 51-62 Journal Article citation of SOEP results 04 Other Journal http://www.oenb.at/de/img/stat_2009_q2_analyse5_tcm14-101295.pdf D 6049 Fessler, Pirmin, Mooslechner, Peter and Schürz, Martin 2009 Interviewtechniken bei Erhebungen zu den Finanzen privater Haushalte im Euroraum Statistiken – Daten und Analysen 5 Q4/09 66-77 Journal Article citation of SOEP results 04 Other Journal http://www.oenb.at/de/img/stat_2009_q4_analyse_fessler_tcm14-143145.pdf D 6048 Steiner, Viktor and Cludius, Johanna 2010 Ökosteuer hat zu geringerer Umweltbelastung des Verkehrs beigetragen Wochenbericht des DIW Berlin 77 13-14 2-7 Journal Article longitudinal 05 DIW Weekly Report miscellaneous Ecological taxation, Gasoline tax, Price elasticity for miles traveled Allein durch die ökologische Steuerreform sind die Preise für Benzin und Diesel zwischen 1998 und 2003 in Deutschland in mehreren Schritten um über 20 Prozent gestiegen. Der Großteil des aus der Erhöhung der Energiesteuersätze resultierenden Aufkommens wurde zur Stabilisierung der Rentenversicherungsbeiträge verwendet. Hat die Ökosteuer neben diesem fiskalischen Ziel auch einen Beitrag zur nachhaltigen Reduktion des Verkehrsaufkommens der privaten Haushalte in Deutschland, somit zur Verringerung der CO2- Emissionen und damit zum Erreichen des deutschen Kyoto-Ziels beigetragen? Die Beantwortung dieser Fragen setzt die Kenntnis der Preiselastizität der Verkehrsnachfrage in Deutschland voraus, für die bisher kaum Schätzungen vorliegen. In einer neuen DIW Studie wurde diese Preiselastizität auf der Basis von Haushaltsdaten berechnet. Unsere Ergebnisse legen nahe, dass die gefahrenen Kilometer durchaus auf Benzinpreisänderungen reagieren. Eine Ökosteuer im Verkehrssektor allein kann aber kein Klimaretter sein. Sie ist nur eines von vielen Instrumenten im umweltpolitischen Mix. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.354609.de/10-13-1.pdf SOEP GB 6047 Pilgram, Jutta 2009 Die Mär vom Auswandern Süddeutsche Zeitung vom 31.

However, since Gary Solon's 1999 Chapter in the Handbook of Labor Economics, the literature has taken an interesting turn. In addition to focusing on obtaining precise estimates of correlations and elasticities, the literature has placed increased emphasis on the causal mechanisms that underlie this relationship. This chapter describes the developments in the intergenerational transmission literature since the 1999 Handbook Chapter. While there have been some important contributions in terms of measurement of elasticities and correlations, we will focus primarily on advances in our understanding of the forces driving the relationship and less on the precision of the correlations themselves. http://ftp.iza.org/dp4866.pdf GB 6045 Antonczyk, Dirk, Fitzenberger, Bernd and Sommerfeld, Katrin 2010 Rising Wage Inequality, the Decline of Collective Bargaining, and the Gender Wage Gap Labour Economics 14 5 835-847 2010: IZA DP 4911.

Based on detailed linked employer-employee data, we show that wage inequality is rising strongly – driven not only by real wage increases at the top of the wage distribution, but also by real wage losses below the median. Coverage by collective wage bargaining plummets by 16.5 (19.1) percentage points for male (female) employees. Despite these changes, the gender wage gap remains almost constant, with some small gains for women at the bottom and at the top of the wage distribution. A sequential decomposition analysis using quantile regression shows that all workplace related effects (firm effects and bargaining effects) and coefficients for personal characteristics contribute strongly to the rise in wage inequality. Among these, the firm coefficients effect dominates, which is almost exclusively driven by wage differences within and between different industries. Labor demand or firm wage policy related effects contribute to an increase in the gender wage gap. Personal characteristics tend to reduce wage inequality for both, males and females, as well as the gender wage gap ftp://ftp.zew.de/pub/zew-docs/dp/dp10014.pdf GB 6044 Peichl, Andreas, Schneider, Hilmar and Siegloch, Sebastian 2010 Documentation IZA?MOD: The IZA Policy SImulation MODel IZA DP No. 4865 Bonn Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) Report technical documentation 30 Discussion Paper labour, transfer systems IZA?MOD, microsimulation, tax and benefit systems, labor demand This paper describes IZA?MOD, the policy microsimulation model of the Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA). The model uses household microdata from the German Socio-Economic Panel Study and firm data from the German linked employer-employee dataset LIAB. IZA?MOD consists of three components: First, a static module simulates the effects of a tax reform on the budget of the individual households. Secondly, behavioral labor supply responses are estimated. The third component distinguishes our model from most other microsimulation tools. A demand module takes into account possible restrictions of labor demand and identifies the partial equilibrium of the labor market after the supply reactions. http://ftp.iza.org/dp4865.pdf SOEP GB 6042 Chiuri, Maria Concetta and Del Boca, Daniela 2010 Home-Leaving Decisions of Daughters and Sons IZA DP No. 4867 Bonn Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) Report cross-sectional 30 Discussion Paper Gender, family and networks living arrangements, gender, social policies In spite of relevant differences between countries, a common international pattern emerges: daughters leave parental homes earlier than sons. Drawing upon the European Community Household Panel, we explore the impacts of various factors that affect daughters' and sons' home-leaving decisions. Our results show important differences across genders as well as across countries.

This hypothesis is reexamined in this paper by including measures of household wealth alongside the more usual household income measure in regression equations of life satisfaction. Using data drawn from four large population surveys from four different countries, evidence is found indicating that wealth generally matters at least as much as income. It is thus concluded that economic circumstances explain more of the variation in individual well-being than previously thought. Nevertheless, the size of these wealth and income effects is still small. http://www.capco.com/files/pdf/69/03_PRESERVATION/07_The%20importance%20of%20wealth%20for%20subjective%20well-being.pdf SOEP, BHPS, HILDA, HHPS GB 6039 Braakmann, Nils 2010 The consequences of own and spousal disability on labor market outcomes and subjective well-being: Evidence from Germany Working Paper Series in Economics No. 161 Lüneburg University of Lüneburg Report longitudinal 30 Discussion Paper labour, subjective indicators disability, labor supply, subjective well-being, adaption, other-regarding preferences In this paper, I contrast the effects of individual and spousal disability on subjective wellbeing and labor supply using data on couples from the German Socio-Economic Panel for the years 1984 to 2006. I find that both men and women reduce their propensity to work when they or their partner become disabled. The effects of spousal disability are economically large. I find no evidence for hours and wage adjustments by spousal disability, although there are wage effects of individual disability. The life-satisfaction of women, but not of men, is reduced considerably by their partners’ disability. The effects are about 33 to 50% as large as those of individual disability. I also find no evidence that individuals adapt to their partners’ disability, although there is adaption to individual disability. http://www.leuphana.de/fileadmin/user_upload/Forschungseinrichtungen/ifvwl/WorkingPapers/wp_161_Upload.pdf SOEP GB 6038 Schneider, Simone and Schupp, Jürgen 2010 Measuring the Selection of Pay Referents - A Methodological Analysis of the Questions on Pay Referents in the 2008 and 2009 Pretest Modules DIW Berlin Data Documentation 48 Berlin DIW Berlin Report technical documentation 35 Other DIW Publication income and poverty income comparisons, relative income, reference groups, SOEP Income comparisons are among the key mechanisms used to explain satisfaction and happiness, among other outcomes. Yet progress on the questions of who people use as social referents and whether differential selection patterns exist can only be made based on valid and reliable measures of pay referents included in large-scale population surveys. The German Socio-Economic Panel Study (SOEP) is pursuing this task through two questions on pay referents introduced in the 2008 and 2009 pretest modules of the SOEP. This paper analyses the quality of the two questions on pay referents in the 2008 module and discusses potential for improvement through modifications of the questions in the 2009 module. The paper concludes that the difficulties in answering questions on pay referents were not completely overcome in the 2009 pretest. To provide more solid evidence on potential biases in response behavior, the paper suggests the inclusion of reliable instruments for measuring personal dispositions. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.354673.de/diw_datadoc_2010-048.pdf SOEP GB 6037 Grund, Christian and Sliwka, Dirk 2009 The anatomy of performance appraisals in Germany International Journal of Human Resource Management 20 10 2049-2065 10.1080/09585190903175613 Journal Article cross-sectional 02 SSCI Journal labour GSOEP, performance appraisal, performance evaluation We investigate the use of performance appraisal (PA) in German firms. First, we derive hypotheses on individual and job-based determinants of PA usage. Based on a representative German data set on individual employees, we test these hypotheses and also explore the impact of PA on performance pay and further career prospects. The results include that PA is positively linked to an individual's willingness to take risks. The performance of older employees and woman is evaluated less often. Furthermore, larger firms evaluate the performance of their employees more. We find evidence for a non-monotonic relation between the hierarchical level and usage of performance appraisal: The performance of employees with very high or very low responsibilities is assessed less often.

As there is doubt as to the validity of such studies for actual behaviour, this empirical examination offers a different approach based on representative German data. Employees who quit their job and find a new one compare the two jobs with respect to eight job characteristics: type of work, pay, chances of promotion, work load, commuting time, working hour regulations, fringe benefits and security against loss of job. It is argued that the observation of many improvements (few declines) for a certain attribute indicates a particular relevance and high preference for this attribute. The study shows that pay and type of work seem to be the important for employees. Differences across subgroups of employees with respect to individual characteristics such as sex and age are explored.

It has been extended and refined for 30 years to take in new results. The central plank of the theory is that adult set-points do not change, except temporarily in the face of major life events. There was always some 'discordant data', including evidence that some events are so tragic (e.g. the death of one's child) that people never regain their set-point. It was possible to dismiss these events as 'exceptions' and maintain the theory. However, several new findings are emerging, which cannot be dismissed as 'exceptions' and which appear to require substantial revisions or replacement of set-point theory. Many of these findings are based on the German Socio-Economic Panel Survey (SOEP 1984-), which provides the longest available time series on life satisfaction. Despite its centrality, the concept of the set-point is often not precisely defined. In this paper three alternative working definitions are offered. Depending on which definition is used, it is found that over 20 years 14-30% of German panel members recorded large and apparently permanent changes in their set-points. Changes of this magnitude are not compatible with set-point theory as currently understood. The challenge for SWB researchers now is to develop a theory which can account for change as well as stability.

Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP), we find the health variable to suffer from measurement error and a number of tests provide evidence that selection corrections are necessary. Good health leads to higher wages for men, while there appears to be no significant effect for women.

Für die Diskussion um die Verteilungsgerechtigkeit ist insbesondere die Aufwärtsmobilität aus der unteren Einkommensschicht, das heißt dem untersten Fünftel der Einkommensverteilung, von Bedeutung. In Deutschland verbleiben in einem Zeitraum von vier Jahren fast zwei Drittel der Personen im unteren Einkommenssegment. Diese Beharrungsquote ist in den letzten Jahren gestiegen. Besonders selten konnten Arbeitslose und Alleinerziehende aufsteigen. Eine simultane Schätzung der Determinanten von Mobilitätsprozessen ergibt, dass für den Aufstieg aus dem untersten Einkommenssegment die Aufnahme einer Beschäftigung nahezu ohne Alternative ist. Die weiteren Aufstiegschancen in höhere Einkommensschichten hängen dann zunehmend von dem Qualifikationsniveau einer Person ab. Von großer Bedeutung sind ebenso Änderungen des Haushaltszusammenhangs. Trennungen von Paarhaushalten wirken sich ungünstig aus, während Personen in neu gebildeten Paarhaushalten oft aufsteigen können. http://www.iwkoeln.de/Portals/0/PDF/trends02_09_6.pdf SOEP D 6030 Wissenschaftlicher Beirat beim Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Technologie 2010 Akzeptanz der Marktwirtschaft: Einkommensverteilung, Chancengleichheit und die Rolle des Staates Gutachten Nr. 01/10 des BMWi Berlin Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Technologie Report citation of SOEP results 33 Other Grey Literature http://www.bmwi.de/BMWi/Redaktion/PDF/Publikationen/Studien/akzeptanz-marktwirtschaft-wissenschaftlicher-beirat,property=pdf,bereich=bmwi,sprache=de,rwb=true.pdf D 6029 Frick, Joachim R., Grabka, Markus M. and Groh-Samberg, Olaf 2010 Dealing with incomplete household panel data in inequality research SOEPpapers 290 Berlin DIW Berlin 2010: DIW Discussion Paper 991. Berlin: DIW Berlin Report longitudinal 32 SOEPpaper income and poverty, methods Household Panel Surveys, Partial Unit Non-Response, Inequality, Mobility, Imputation, SOEP "Population surveys around the world face the problem of declining cooperation and participation rates of respondents. Not only can item nonresponse and unit nonresponse impair important outcome measures for inequality research such as total household disposable income; there is also a further case of missingness confronting household panel surveys that potentially biases results. The approach commonly used in such surveys of interviewing all adult household members and aggregating their individual incomes to yield a final outcome measure for welfare analyses often suffers from partial unit non-response (PUNR), i.e., the non-response of at least one unit, or member, of an otherwise participating household. In these cases, the aggregate income of all household members lacks at least one individual’s income. These processes are typically not random and require appropriate correction. Using data from more than twenty waves of the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) we evaluate four different strategies to deal with this phenomenon: (a) Ignorance, i.e., assuming the missing individual’s income to be zero. (b) Adjustment of the equivalence scale to account for differences in household size and composition. (c) Elimination of all households observed to suffer PUNR, and re-weighting of households observed to be at risk of but not affected by PUNR. (d) Longitudinal imputation of the missing income components. The aim of this paper is to show how the choice of technique affects substantive results in the inequality research. We find indications of substantial bias on income inequality and poverty as well as on income mobility. These findings are obviously even more important in cross-national comparative analyses if the data providers in the individual countries deal differently with PUNR in the underlying data.

Bonn: Institute for the Study of Labor; Ruhr Economics Papers #180. Essen et al.: RWI Essen et al." Report longitudinal 30 Discussion Paper health "Public smoking bans; smoking, cigarette consumption, treatment effects" This paper investigates the short-term effects of public smoking bans on individual smoking behavior. In 2007 and 2008, state-level smoking bans were gradually introduced in all of Germany’s sixteen federal states. We exploit this variation in the timing of state bans to identify the effect that smoke-free policies had on individuals’ smoking propensity and smoking intensity. Using rich longitudinal data from the German Socio-Economic Panel Study, our difference-in-differences estimates show that the introduction of smoke-free legislation in Germany did not change average smoking behavior within the population. However, our estimates also point to important heterogeneous effects. Groups that go out more often, and hence are more exposed to the constraints of public smoking bans in everyday life, did adjust their smoking behavior. Specifically, we find that young, unmarried individuals, and those living in urban areas are groups that are both less likely to smoke and smoke less intensively following the introduction of public smoking bans. Furthermore, effects on individual smoking habits proved stronger in states that had more strict smoking bans. Public smoking bans, therefore, have important health benefits over and above the reduction in exposure of non-smokers to second-hand smoke that is their immediate and prime objective. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.354679.de/diw_sp0289.pdf SOEP GB 6027 Gerstorf, Denis, Ram, Nilam, Goebel, Jan, Schupp, Jürgen, Lindenberger, Ulman and Wagner, Gert G. 2010 Where People Live and Die Makes a Difference:Individual and Geographic Disparities in Well-Being Progression at the End of Life SOEPpapers 287 (forthcoming in PSYCHOLOGY AND AGING) Berlin DIW Berlin Report longitudinal 32 SOEPpaper subjective indicators, miscellaneous "Neighborhoods; Selective mortality; successful aging; differential aging; psychosocial factors; well-being; longitudinal methods" "Lifespan psychological research has long been interested in the contextual embeddedness of individual development. To examine if and how regional factors relate to between-person disparities in the progression of late-life well-being, we applied three-level growth curve models to 24-year longitudinal data from deceased participants of the German Socio-Economic Panel Study (N = 3,427; age at death: 18 to 101 years). Results indicate steep declines in well-being with impending death, with some 8% of the between-person differences in both level and decline of well-being reflecting between-county differences. Exploratory analyses revealed that individuals living and dying in less affluent counties reported lower late-life well-being, controlling for key individual predictors including age at death, gender, education, and household income. The regional factors examined did not directly relate to well-being change, but were found to moderate (e.g., amplify) the disparities in change attributed to individual factors. Our results suggest that resource-poor counties provide relatively less fertile grounds for successful aging until the end of life and may serve to exacerbate disparities. We conclude that examinations of how individual and residential characteristics interact can further our understanding of individual psychological outcomes and suggest routes for future inquiry." http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.354342.de/diw_sp0287.pdf SOEP GB 6026 Schneider, Julia and Beblo, Miriam 2010 Health at Work – Indicators and Determinants: A Literature and Data Review for Germany Harriet Taylor Mill-Institut für Ökonomie und Geschlechterforschung Discussion Paper 09 Berlin Fachhochschule für Wirtschaft Berlin Report citation of SOEP results 30 Discussion Paper labour, health As a contribution to the coordinated EU-project “An inquiry into health and safety at work: a European Union perspective” (acronym: HEALTHatWORK), this survey portrays the current knowledge and issues related to the economic impact of health at work in Germany. After a description of the German institutional framework for occupational safety and health (OSH), it presents indicators of health and safety at work – such as sickness absences, occupational accidents and diseases, disability rents, working conditions and OSH policy. The survey's major contribution is a review of academic economic research on the determinants of OSH indicators in Germany and a review of the data sets that have been or may be used. The aim is to identify the main issues addressed in the literature, the approaches adopted, the data analyzed and the research gaps that still exist with respect to analyzing health at work in Germany. http://harriet-taylor-mill.de/pdfs/discuss/DiscPap9.pdf GB 6025 Ochsen, Carsten 2010 Are Recessions Good for Educational Attainment? SOEPpapers 285 Berlin DIW Berlin Report longitudinal 32 SOEPpaper income and poverty, methods educational attainment, educational tracking, macroeconomic uncertainty, family structure, intergenerational link, parental labor supply In this study, we examine how economic performance during the child-specific primary school phase, during which teachers make recommendations regarding secondary school level, affects the educational level achieved ultimately by these children. Using data for Germany, we find that an economic downturn, coupled with increased unemployment, affects children's education attainment negatively. In terms of monetary units, the average effect of the 1993 German recessionon children's educational attainment corresponds to a loss of average monthly household equivalence income of about 50%. A second important conclusion is that children who live in regions that experience poor economic performance over longer periods are, on average, less educated than children who live in more affluent regions. Since human capital is a determinant of economic growth, declining school performance ultimately hampers future growth potential. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.354663.de/diw_sp0285.pdf SOEP GB 6024 Goebel, Jan, Krause, Peter, Frick, Joachim R., Grabka, Markus M. and Wagner, Gert G. 2010 Eine exemplarische Anwendung der regionalisierten Preisniveau-Daten des BBSR auf die Einkommensverteilung für die Jahre 2005 bis 2008 – Zugleich eine Dokumentation verschiedener Preisniveau-Zeitreihen für das vereinigte Deutschland Joachim Möller, Eckart Hohmann, Denis Huschka Der weiße Fleck - zur Konzeption und Machbarkeit regionaler Preisindizes (IAB-Bibliothek, 324) Bielefeld W.

In seinem einleitenden Teil dokumentiert dieser Aufsatz die unmittelbar nach der Wiedervereinigung und in den 90er Jahren vom DIW Berlin vorgenommenen Kaufkraftparitäten-Berechnungen für Ost- und Westdeutschland. Sie erweisen sich weitgehend kompatibel mit den entsprechenden späteren Berechnungen des Bundesinstituts für Bau-, Stadt- und Raumforschung (BBSR). Die Ergebnisse beider Methoden weichen deutlich von der Annahme des Statistischen Bundesamtes eines einheitlichen Preisniveaus in Ost- und Westdeutschland ab. Anschließend werden die von der BBSR angegebenen regionalen Preisunterschiede in die Analyse der Einkommensverteilung in Deutschland einbezogen. Im Ergebnis führt dies bei den verfügbaren Haushaltseinkommen zu einer Annäherung des relativ ärmeren Ostens an den relativ reicheren Westen. Es kommt zwar weder zu einer Veränderung des grundsätzlichen Trends der letzten Jahre, noch zu einem vollständigen Ausgleich der bestehenden Unterschiede, trotzdem scheint auch für künftige Analysen der personellen Einkommensverteilung eine systematische Berechnung und Einbeziehung der regionalen Preisniveaus lohnend zu sein. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.354231.de/diw_sp0284.pdf SOEP D 6023 Goebel, Jan, Wurm, Michael and Wagner, Gert G. 2010 Exploring the Linkage of Spatial Indicators from Remote Sensing Data with Survey Data – The Case of the Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) and 3D City Models SOEPpapers 283 Berlin DIW Berlin Report methodological 32 SOEPpaper methods, miscellaneous remote sensing data, social sciences, behavioral sciences, multi-disciplinarity, SOEP This paper demonstrates the spatial evaluation of survey data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) study using geo-coordinates and spatially relevant indicators from remote sensing data. By geocoding the addresses of survey households with block-level geographic precision (while preventing their identification by name and guaranteeing their complete anonymity), data on SOEP respondents can now be analyzed in a specific spatial context. In the past, regional analyses of SOEP based on official regional indicators (e.g., the unemployment rate) always had only very imprecise spatial information to work with. This limitation has now been overcome with the geocoded respondents’ information. Within a protected unit of the fieldwork organization responsible for SOEP (TNS Infratest, Munich), the addresses of survey households can now be used to generate a variable describing the location of the household with block-level precision. At DIW Berlin, this additional variable is fed into a special computer infrastructure with multiple security layers that makes the socio-economic analysis possible. This paper demonstrates the use of this geographical location and remote sensing data to check respondents’ subjective assessments of the location of their residence, and discusses the analytical potential of linking remote sensing data and survey data. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.354340.de/diw_sp0283.pdf SOEP GB 6022 Geishecker, Ingo 2010 Perceived Job Insecurity and Well-Being Revisited: Towards Conceptual Clarity SOEPpapers 282 Berlin DIW Berlin Report cross-sectional 32 SOEPpaper labour, subjective indicators job security, life satisfaction, unemployment This paper analyzes the impact of job insecurity perceptions on individual well-being. In contrast to previous studies, we explicitly take into account perceptions about both the likelihood and the potential costs of job loss and demonstrate that most contributions to the literature suffer from simultaneity bias. When accounting for simultaneity, we find the true unbiased effect of perceived job insecurity to be more than twice the size of naive estimates. Accordingly, perceived job insecurity ranks as one of the most important factors in employees' well-being and can be even more harmful than actual job loss with subsequent unemployment. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.353976.de/diw_sp0282.pdf SOEP GB 6021 Baumgarten, Daniel, Geishecker, Ingo and Görg, Holger 2010 Offshoring, tasks, and the skill-wage pattern SOEPpapers 281 Berlin DIW Berlin 2010: IZA DP 4828. Bonn: Institute for the Study of Labor Report cross-sectional 30 Discussion Paper labour, income and poverty Tasks, Offshoring, Outsourcing, Skills, Wages The paper investigates the relationship between offshoring, wages, and the ease with which individuals' tasks can be offshored. Our analysis relates to recent theoretical contributions arguing that there is only a loose relationship between the suitability of a task for offshoring and the associated skill level. Accordingly, wage effects of offshoring can be very heterogeneous within skill groups. We test this hypothesis by combining micro-level information on wages and demographic and workplace characteristics as well as occupational information relating to the degree of offshorability with industry-level data on offshoring. Our main results suggest that in partial equilibrium, wage effects of offshoring are fairly modest but far from homogeneous and depend significantly on the extent to which the respective task requires personal interaction or can be described as non-routine. When allowing for cross-industry movement of workers, i.e., looking at a situation closer to general equilibrium, the magnitude of the wage effects of offshoring becomes substantial. Low- and medium-skilled workers experience significant wage cuts due to offshoring which, however, again strongly depend on the degree of personal interaction and non-routine content. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.353974.de/diw_sp0281.pdf SOEP GB 6020 Erlinghagen, Marcel 2010 Mehr Angst vor Arbeitsplatzverlust seit Hartz?

Duisburg: Institut Arbeit und Qualifikation Report cross-sectional 30 Discussion Paper labour, subjective indicators Auf Basis der Daten des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP) geht der Beitrag der Frage nach, wie sich die subjektiv empfundene Angst vor dem Verlust des Arbeitsplatzes seit Mitte der 1980er Jahre in Deutschland verändert hat. Dabei zeigt sich, dass sich vor allem zwischen 2001 und 2004 der Anteil der Beschäftigten deutlich erhöht hat, die sich große Sorgen um den Fortbestand ihres Arbeitsverhältnisses machen. Der anschließende Aufschwung 2006-2008 hat nur zum Teil zum Abbau von Beschäftigungsunsicherheit geführt. Im Gegensatz dazu lassen sich in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten weder eine generelle Beschleunigung des Arbeitsmarktgeschehens noch eine allgemeine Destabilisierung von Beschäftigungsverhältnissen nachweisen. Die Diskrepanz zwischen „gefühlter“ Beschäftigungssicherheit und realer Beschäftigungsstabilität hängt möglicherweise mit den fundamentalen sozial- und arbeitsmarktpolitischen Reformen der vergangenen Jahre zusammen. Insbesondere die schlechte Lohnentwicklung gepaart mit einer zunehmenden Einkommensungleichheit und dem drohenden Statusverlust bei längerer Arbeitslosigkeit sind mögliche Erklärungsansätze für diese Befunde. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.353823.de/diw_sp0279.pdf SOEP D 6019 Cornelißen, Thomas and Jirjahn, Uwe 2010 September 11th and the Earnings of Muslims in Germany – The Moderating Role of Education and Firm Size SOEPpapers 278 Berlin DIW Berlin Report cross-sectional 32 SOEPpaper labour, migration, miscellaneous Muslims, September 11th, Wage Discrimination, Education, Firm Size While available evidence suggests that the events of September 11th negatively influenced the relative earnings of employees with Arab background in the US, it is not clear that they had similar effects in other countries. Our study for Germany provides evidence that the events also affected the relative earnings of Muslims outside the US. However, the results show that there was no uniform effect on all types of Muslims across all types of firms. Accounting for moderating factors, a significantly negative effect can only be found for low-skilled Muslims employed in small- and medium-sized firms. This conforms to theoretical expectations. Moreover, we demonstrate that defining appropriate treatment and control groups is crucial for identifying the effects. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.353821.de/diw_sp0278.pdf SOEP GB 6018 Schräpler, Jörg-Peter 2010 Benford's Law as an instrument for fraud detection in surveys using the data of the Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) SOEPpapers 273 Berlin DIW Berlin Report methodological 32 SOEPpaper methods Falsification, data quality, Benford's Law, SOEP This paper focuses on fraud detection in surveys using Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) data as an example for testing newly methods proposed here. A statistical theorem referred to as Benford's Law states that in many sets of numerical data, the significant digits are not uniformly distributed, as one might expect, but rather adhere to a certain logarithmic probability function. To detect fraud we derive several requirements that should, according to this law, be fulfilled in the case of survey data. We show that in several SOEP subsamples, Benford's Law holds for the available continuous data. For this analysis, we have developed a measure that reflects the plausibility of the digit distribution in interviewer clusters. We are able to demonstrate that several interviews that were known to have been fabricated and therefore deleted in the original user data set can be detected using this method. Furthermore, in one subsample, we use this method to identify a case of an interviewer falsifying ten interviews who had not been detected previously by the fieldwork organization. In the last section of our paper, we try to explain the deviation from Benford's distribution empirically, and show that several factors can influence the test statistic used. To avoid misinterpretations and false conclusions, it is important to take these factors into account when Benford's Law is applied to survey data. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.349061.de/diw_sp0273.pdf SOEP GB 6017 Katsaiti, Marina-Selini 2010 Obesity and Happiness SOEPpapers 270 Berlin DIW Berlin Report cross-sectional 32 SOEPpaper subjective indicators, health, international comparison Happiness, Obesity, Instrumental Variable Analysis, Subjective Well Being This paper provides insight on the relationship between obesity and happiness. Using the latest available cross sectional data from Germany (GSOEP 2006), UK (BHPS 2005), and Australia (HILDA 2007). We examine whether there is evidence on the impact of overweight on subjective well being. The Hausman test is employed in the univariate and multivariate specifications chosen and reveals evidence for the presence of endogeneity in the German and the Australian data. Instrumental variable analysis is performed under the presence of endogeneity whereas for the UK we run OLS regressions. Results indicate that in all three countries obesity has a negative and significant effect on the subjective well being of individuals. For Germany, using a differences-in-differences methodology, I find that non-overweight/non-obese individuals are on average 0.5 units happier than their overweight/obese counterparts. Our findings also have important implications for the effect of other socio-demographic, economic and individual characteristics on well being. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.347294.de/diw_sp0270.pdf SOEP, BHPS, HILDA GB 6016 Noll, Heinz-Herbert and Weick, Stefan 2010 Subjective Well-Being in Germany: Evolutions, Determinants and Policy Implications (Chapter 5) Bent Greve Happiness and Social Policy in Europe Cheltenham Edward Elgar xx Book Section cross-sectional 20 Book Section subjective indicators "SOEP; European Social Survey" GB 6015 Pohlmeier, Winfried and Wichert, Laura 2010 Ja zum Beruf – eine Frage des Charakters ZEWnews April 2010 4 Magazine Article cross-sectional 62 Professional Newsletter labour, subjective indicators ftp://ftp.zew.de/pub/zew-docs/zn/zn0410.pdf SOEP D 6014 Stichnoth, Holger 2010 Einwanderung beeinflusst Akzeptanz der staatlichen Arbeitslosenhilfe kaum ZEWnews April 2010 1-2 Magazine Article cross-sectional 62 Professional Newsletter migration, transfer systems ftp://ftp.zew.de/pub/zew-docs/zn/zn0410.pdf SOEP D 6013 Rosinus, Anna 2010 Der dritte Armuts- und Reichtumsbericht im Spiegel der Kritik Wirtschaftswissenschaftliches Studium 39 4 187-193 Journal Article cross-sectional 04 Other Journal income and poverty SOEP D 6012 Becchetti, Leonardo, Giachin Ricca, Elena and Pelloni, Alessandra 2010 The relationship between social leisure and life satisfaction Department of Communication Working Paper No. 63 Teramo University of Teramo, Department of Communication Report longitudinal 30 Discussion Paper subjective indicators, labour "Life satisfaction; social leisure; retirement; " Social leisure is generally found to be positively correlated with life satisfaction in the empirical literature. We ask if this association captures a genuine causal effect of this good on subjective wellbeing by using panel data from the GSOEP. Fixed effect estimation techniques take care of some but not all of the endogeneity issues involved: we then have recourse to instrumental variables estimation. Our identification strategy exploits the change in social leisure brought about by retirement: more specifically we instrument social leisure with the ratio of retired in the sample by year and geographic location (East vs West Germany). Our results show a gendered difference in the impact of this ratio on social life. Our final message is that social leisure has a positive causal effect on life satisfaction, a finding with potentially important policy implications. http://wp.comunite.it/data/wp_no_63_2010.pdf SOEP GB 6011 Schunk, Daniel 2009 What Determines Household Saving Behavior? An Examination of Saving Motives and Saving Decisions Jahrbücher für Nationalökonomie und Statistik 229 4 467-491 Journal Article citation of SOEP results 02 SSCI Journal Private household saving, saving behaviour, saving motives, old-age provision, precautionary savings Saving decisions are complex, since there are many concurrent motives for saving a portion of one's income. However, while the existing literature covers all of these motives, most contributions select only one of them as a focus and relegate the others to the background by making simplifying assumptions about them. While the focus on only one saving motive is vital for many insights on aggregate saving behavior, this paper argues that further insights relevant to policy can be gained by relaxing this assumption. Using data from a random sample of German households and from federal official statistics, I explain how much people save under the explicit assumption that various different saving motives co-exist. The findings show that heterogeneity in saving behavior is systematically related to the importance that households attach to different co-existing saving motives. This suggests that policy reforms that change the importance of certain saving motives in the eyes of private households might influence their saving decisions.

Der zentrale Trend dieses Wandels besteht in der zunehmenden Bedeutung flexibler sogenannter „atypischer“ Beschäftigungsverhältnisse bei gleichzeitigem Bedeutungsverlust des „Normalarbeitsverhältnisses“. Dabei wird häufig die These vertreten, dass die Arbeitsmarktreformen der letzten Jahre diesen Trend noch einmal verstärkt haben. Die Auswertung von Daten des sozio-oekonomischen Panels zeigt, dass die Bedeutung flexibler Erwerbsformen vor allem relativ zunimmt und es sich bei diesen überwiegend um zusätzliche Beschäftigung handelt. Auf individueller Ebene dienen sie als Sprungbrett. Dies gilt gleichermaßen für den Schritt aus der Arbeitslosigkeit oder Inaktivität in eine Beschäftigung wie für den Wechsel aus einer flexiblen Erwerbsform auf einen unbefristeten Vollzeitarbeitsplatz. Von der Sprungbrettfunktion profitieren vor allem geringproduktive Arbeitnehmer. Sie machen einen großen Teil der Arbeitnehmer in flexiblen Beschäftigungsverhältnissen aus. Anzeichen von Prekarität zeigen sich allerdings nur bei einem Teil der Beschäftigten in den flexiblen Erwerbsformen. Während die Abschläge vom Stundenlohn bei unbefristet Teilzeitbeschäftigten mit 5 Prozent eher gering sind, weisen unbefristet geringfügig Beschäftigte einen Stundenlohnabstand von rund 17 Prozent auf. http://www.iwkoeln.de/Portals/0/PDF/trends01_10_4.pdf SOEP D 6004 Peter, Waltraut 2010 Entwicklung von Sozialleistungsbezug und Erwerbstätigkeit IW-Trends 37 1 3-14 Journal Article cross-sectional 04 Other Journal labour, transfer systems Das Wirtschaftswachstum und die Auswirkungen der vorangegangenen Arbeitsmarktreformen haben im Jahr 2007 die Balance von Sozialleistungsempfängern und Erwerbstätigen leicht verbessert.

Als Gegenbeispiel werden häufig die USA herangezogen. Nach OECD-Angaben war der Anteil der 25- bis 64-jährigen Bevölkerung mit einem tertiären Abschluss (Meister/ Techniker, Hochschule) im Jahr 2006 in den USA um 15 Prozentpunkte und der Anteil der Personen mit einem Hochschulabschluss sogar um 20 Prozentpunkte höher als hierzulande. Die Akademikerlücke ist die Folge einer deutlich niedrigeren Studienanfängerquote, die in Deutschland im Jahr 2006 um 29 Prozentpunkte kleiner war als in den USA. Sie ist aber nicht gleichzusetzen mit einer Lücke bei den Hochqualifizierten. Betrachtet man die für die wirtschaftliche Leistungsfähigkeit wichtigeren Kompetenzen der Bevölkerung auf Basis der PISA-Untersuchung, dem International Adult Literacy Survey (IALS) und von Informationen aus dem Cross-National Equivalent File (CNEF), so kann gezeigt werden, dass die Gruppen der tatsächlich Hochqualifizierten in Deutschland und den USA nahezu gleich groß sind. Denn hierzulande weisen Personen mit einer formal mittleren Qualifikation, also vorrangig die beruflich Qualifizierten, in großer Anzahl sehr hohe Kompetenzen auf. Dies bedeutet aber zugleich, dass hierzulande ein großes Reservoir an potenziellen Studienanfängern für die Hochschulen existiert, um den Mangel in einigen akademischen Berufen zu reduzieren. http://www.iwkoeln.de/Portals/0/PDF/trends03_09_2.pdf CNEF, IALS, PISA D 6002 Orlowski, Robert and Riphahn, Regina T. 2009 Im Osten nichts Neues - Lohnstrukturen knapp 20 Jahre nach dem Mauerfall Ifo Dresden berichtet 3 24-27 Magazine Article longitudinal 62 Professional Newsletter income and poverty, labour Lohnstruktur, Anpassung, Neue Bundesländer Die Frage nach dem Zeitbedarf für die Anpassung der Lohnstrukturen eines ehemaligen sozialistischen Landes an das Niveau eines marktwirtschaftlichen Systems ist von hohem politischen Interesse.

Our focus is on the role that parental smoking behavior plays for children's smoking initiation. The data used are a combination of retrospective information on the age individuals started smoking and, by tracing back these individuals within the panel structure up to that point, information on characteristics at the age of smoking initiation. In contrast to the previous literature it is possible to control for the environment at the time of smoking onset that might have influenced the decision to start. Our preferred specification of a discrete time hazard model indicates that parental smoking significantly increases the offspring's hazard to start smoking. While this effect is most prominent for currently smoking parents, it is also found for parents who have given up smoking already. However, an ambiguous effect of the timing of parental smoking cessation is found, arguing against role-model effects being a key determinant for smoking initiation.

Analysis of two major surveys (France's ""Study of family history"" [Etude de l'histoire familiale] and Germany's ""Socio-economic panel"" [SOEP]) brings to light a contrast between descendants of Turkish immigrants in Germany and descendants of North African immigrants in France in connection with schooling and the labor market. The disadvantage that these two groups are at does not crystallize at the same point in their trajectories : Turkish immigrants' descendants undergo exclusion relatively early, at the level of schooling (social distancing through relegation), whereas North African immigrants' descendants get excluded when they arrive on the labor market (social distancing through discrimination). After presentation of the results, these two social dynamics and the mechanisms underlying them are discussed from a more theoretical perspective."

Zwar stieg der Anteil der Väter in Elternzeit seit der Elterngeldreform im Jahr 2007 kontinuierlich an, doch stellen Väter immer noch die Minderheit der Elternzeit-Beansprucher. Im theoretischen Teil des Beitrags werden mikroökonomische und an der Persönlichkeit des Vaters anknüpfende Determinanten für und wider die Inanspruchnahme der Elternzeit durch Väter einander gegenübergestellt. Die empirische Überprüfung der Hypothesen erfolgt anhand eines originären Datensatzes, welcher im Rahmen einer Online-Befragung unter berufstätigen Vätern in Deutschland, deren Kind(er) nach dem 01.01.2001 geboren wurde(n), erhoben wurde. Die Stichprobe umfasst 1.290 Väter, von denen 484 Elternzeiterfahrung haben. Eine logistische Regressionsanalyse mit der abhängigen Variable „Inanspruchnahme von Elternzeit durch den Vater: ja – nein“ zeigt, dass die Entscheidung des Vaters stärker von ökonomischen Determinanten bestimmt wird als von seiner Persönlichkeit. Ein weiterer bedeutsamer Faktor ist das Geschlechterrollenverständnis des Vaters.

Berlin: DIW Berlin Report cross-sectional 30 Discussion Paper income and poverty, health, education, Consumption / Assets / Habitation affluence, multidimensional measurement, mobility, elites Closely following recent innovations in the literature on the multidimensional measurement of poverty, this paper provides similar measures for the top of the distribution using a dual cutoff method to identify individuals, who can be considered as rich in a multidimensional setting. We use this framework to analyze the role of wealth, health and education, in addition to income, as dimensions of multidimensional well-being in Germany. Our analysis shows that more than half of the German population is affluent in at least one dimension and less than 1% is affluent in all four dimensions. The likelihood of being rich in all dimensions is highest for prime-aged males from the West who live in couple households without children. Mobility between different affluence counts between 2002 and 2007 is rather low and existing changes are mostly driven by health and to a lesser extent by wealth. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.356278.de/diw_sp0295.pdf, http://ftp.iza.org/dp4825.pdf SOEP GB 5997 Geyer, Johannes and Steiner, Viktor 2010 Public Pensions, Changing Employment Patterns, and the Impact of Pension Reforms across Birth Cohorts: A Microsimulation Analysis for Germany IZA DP No. 4815 Bonn Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) 2010: DIW DP 984 and SOEPpaper 276. Berlin: DIW Berlin Report simulation 30 Discussion Paper labour, transfer systems public pensions, cohort effects, microsimulation We analyze the impact of changing employment patterns and pension reforms on the future level of public pensions across birth cohorts in Germany. The analysis is based on a rich dataset that combines household survey data from the German Socio-Economic Panel Study (SOEP) and process-produced microdata from the German pension insurance. A microsimulation model is developed which accounts for cohort effects in individual employment and unemployment and earnings over the lifecycle as well as the differential impact of recent pension reforms. Cohort effects for individuals born between 1937 and 1971 vary greatly by region, gender and education and strongly affect lifecycle wage profiles. The largest effects can be observed for younger cohorts in East Germany and for the low educated. Using simulated life cycle employment and income profiles, we project gross future pensions across cohorts taking into account changing demographics and recent pension reforms. Simulations show that pension levels for East German men and women will fall dramatically among younger birth cohorts, not only because of policy reforms but due to higher cumulated unemployment. For West German men, the small reduction of average pension levels among younger birth cohorts is mainly driven by the impact of pension reforms, while future pension levels of West German women are increasing or stable due to rising labor market participation of younger birth cohorts. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.353639.de/diw_sp0276.pdf SOEP GB 5996 Kunz, Gabriele 2010 Deutschland ade!

The experiment involves choosing between a cash payment and playing a lottery. The survey questions ask for the reservation price of a hypothetical lottery and self-assessment of risk attitude on a 0-10 scale. We confirm familiar findings: risk aversion dominates, women are more risk averse than men, risk aversion decreases with increasing parental income, risk attitudes are domain-specific. Correlations between survey measures and experimental measures, are in the right direction, but not very high. The survey measures are valid indicators of experimentally measured risk attitude, but with substantial noise remaining. Heterogeneity in levels and structure of risk attitude is large. http://www.tinbergen.nl/ti-publications/discussion-papers.php?paper=1576, http://ftp.iza.org/dp4807.pdf GB 5994 Cornelissen, Thomas, Jirjahn, Uwe and Tsertsvadse, Georgi 2008 Parental Background and Earnings: German Evidence on Direct and Indirect Relationships Jahrbücher für Nationalökonomie und Statistik 228 5+6 554-573 Journal Article longitudinal 02 SSCI Journal income and poverty, Family and networks, education Parental education, maternal labor force participation, schooling, wages, intergenerational mobility. Using data from the German Socioeconomic Panel (GSOEP), the study analyzes the direct and indirect effects of parental background on employees’ earnings. To examine indirect effects we estimate the determinants of the employees’ years of schooling. In a second step, we run wage regressions to examine direct effects. Our results suggest that the direct and indirect effects of parental background driving the intergenerational correlation of socioeconomic status are complex. It is not only important to differentiate between mother’s and father’s education. It is also important to take into account other parental characteristics such as maternal labor force participation and the parents’ occupational status and fertility. Moreover, we find that interaction effects play an important role. The returns to schooling depend on the employees’ parental background. SOEP GB 5993 Horn, Gustav 2010 Armes Deutschland? Löhne hoch!

By comparing three countries with very different welfare regimes, we seek to gain a better understanding of the interaction between the life course, pension system and women?s incomes in later life. The association between older women?s incomes and work histories is strongest in West Germany and weakest in the UK, where there is evidence of a pensions? poverty trap and where only predominantly full-time employment is associated with significantly higher incomes in later life, after controlling for other socio-economic characteristics. Work history matters less for widows (in all three countries) and more for younger birth cohorts and more educated women (UK only). We conclude with a brief discussion of the „women-friendliness? of different pension regimes in the light of our analysis. http://sticerd.lse.ac.uk/dps/case/cp/CASEpaper137.pdf CNEF, SOEP, PSID, BHPS GB 5981 Holst, Elke and Wiemer, Anita 2010 Women Still Greatly Underrepresented on the Top Boards of Large Companies Weekly Report 6 7 45-53 Magazine Article mentions of the SOEP study 05 DIW Weekly Report Board diversity, Women CEOs, Gender diversity, Management Executive and supervisory boards of large companies in Germany are still dominated by men - to an extraordinary degree. Only 2.5% of all executive board members in the200 largest companies (not including the financial sector) are women, and only 10% of all seats on supervisory boards are occupied by women. The situation in the financial sector is similar: in the 100 largest banks, 2.6% of all executive board members are women, and in the 62 largest insurance companies, 2.8% of executive board members are women. The percentage of women on financial sector supervisory boards is higher than their percentage in the top 200 companies: 16.8% in banks and savings banks, and 12.4% in insurance companies. In total, about three-quarters of women with a seat on a supervisory board are appointed by employee representation bodies and therefore have their seat as a result of employee codetermination practices. Aside from a few positive examples, the situation on both types of management boards has hardly changed at all in the last few years. It remains to be seen whether the plan to gradually increase the number of women in management positions, as agreed upon in the German government's 2009 Coalition Agreement, will have more success than the voluntary commitments made by Germany's top business associations in their 2001agreement with the German government. The implementation of the latter initiative private-sector companies can be considered a failure given the virtually unchanged gender composition of top management in large private-sector companies. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.347859.de/diw_wr_2010-07.pdf GB 5980 Frick, Joachim R. and Grabka, Markus M. 2010 Old-age pension entitlements mitigate inequality - but concentration of wealth remains high Weekly Report 6 8 55-64 Journal Article cross-sectional 05 DIW Weekly Report income and poverty Wealth inequality, Pension entitlements, SOEP Entitlements from old-age pension schemes - statutory, company, and private - represent a considerable source of wealth. For data-related reasons, analyses of the personal wealth distribution have so far failed to take this into account, however. According to recent calculations based on the 2007 data of the German Socio- Economic Panel (SOEP), the present value of total pension and state annuity entitlements (not including entitlements to provision for dependants) amounted to roughly 4.6 trillion euros. This corresponds to an average of 67,000 euros per adult. When this is combined with individuals' financial and material assets, which amount to an average of 88,000 euros, the result is a more comprehensive total net worth of more than 155,000 euros. Civil servants and retired civil servants fare better than average if this larger view is taken. This more comprehensive measurement shows considerably less inequality of wealth than traditional analyses, which refer only to financial and material assets. This is not least because of the very widespread existence of entitlements under the various old-age pension schemes with simultaneous capping based on the contribution assessment threshold for statutory pension schemes. Nevertheless, wealth continues to be highly concentrated, and the mitigating effects of old-age pension assets will likely become less important in the future. Here the effects of falling pension levels as a result of reforms in the old-age pension systems and growing gaps in earnings histories will be felt - with the risk of increasing poverty among the future elderly. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.353197.de/diw_wr_2010-08.pdf SOEP GB 5979 o.V. 2009 Wie wirken automatische Stabilisatoren in der Wirtschaftskrise?

We identify this effect using employer-induced changes in commuting distance. Our estimates for Germany indicate that commuting distance induces absenteeism with an elasticity of about 0.07 to 0.09. On average, absenteeism would be about 15 to 20 percent less if all workers would have a negligible commute. These results are consistent with extended urban efficiency wage models. http://www.tinbergen.nl/discussionpapers/09014.pdf SOEP GB 5976 Haan, Peter and Prowse, Victoria 2010 The Design of Unemployment Transfers: Evidence from a Dynamic Structural Life-Cycle Model IZA DP No. 4792 Bonn Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) Report longitudinal 30 Discussion Paper labour, transfer systems unemployment insurance, replacement ratio, entitlement period, life-cycle labor supply, tax reform, method of simulated moments In this paper we use a dynamic structural life-cycle model to analyze the employment, fiscal and welfare effects induced by unemployment insurance. The model features a detailed specification of the tax and transfer system, including unemployment insurance benefits which depend on an individual's employment and earnings history. The model also captures the endogenous accumulation of experience which impacts on future wages, job arrivals and job separations. For better identification of the structural parameters we exploit a quasi-natural experiment, namely reductions over time in the entitlement period for unemployment insurance benefits which varied by age and experience. The results show that a policy cut in the generosity of unemployment insurance operationalized as a reduction in the entitlement period generates a larger increase in employment and yields a bigger fiscal saving than a cut operationalized as a reduction in the replacement ratio. Welfare analysis of revenue neutral tax and transfer reforms also favors a reduction in the entitlement period. http://ftp.iza.org/dp4792.pdf SOEP GB 5975 Ziebarth, Nicolas R. and Frick, Joachim R. 2010 "Revisiting the Income-Health Nexus: The Importance of Choosing the ""Right"" Indicator" SOEPpapers 274 Berlin DIW Berlin 2010: IZA DP No. 4787.

When neither worker's effort nor manager's attention can be contracted, a double moral-hazard problem arises, implying that reciprocal workers should be given weak financial incentives. In a multiple-agent setting, this problem can be resolved using promotion incentives. We empirically examine these predictions using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel. We find that workers who are more reciprocal are significantly more likely to receive promotion incentives, while there is no such relation for individual bonus pay. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/98010/diw_sp0177.pdf SOEP GB 5973 Furdas, Marina and Kohn, Karsten 2010 What's the Difference?!

The start-up rate among women in Germany falls short of males' start-up rate by one third. We scrutinize this gender gap using individual-level data from the KfW Start-up Monitor, a large-scale population survey on start-up activity in Germany. As a unique feature, the data combine socio-demographic characteristics, entrepreneurship-related attitudes, and general personality traits of both business starters and non-starters. Estimating binary choice models and employing decomposition techniques, we find that gender differences in socio-demographics alone would even be in favor of higher start-up rates among women, while the distribution of personality traits is less favorable for business start-ups among women and explains about one third of the entire gender difference. Most substantially, men opt for a start-up more often even given identical human capital and related endowments. Qualificational policies targeted towards higher educational attainments of potential entrepreneurs do thus not suffice to increase the number of female business starters. http://ftp.iza.org/dp4778.pdf GB 5972 Corneo, Giacomo, Keese, Matthias and Schröder, Carsten 2010 The Effect of Saving Subsidies on Household Saving - Evidence from Germany Ruhr Economic Papers #170 Bochum, Dortmund, Duisburg, Essen Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Department of Economics, Technische Universität Dortmund, Department of Economics and Social Sciences, Universität Duisburg-Essen, Department of Economics and Rheinisch-Westfälisches Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung (RWI) Report longitudinal 30 Discussion Paper consumption / assets / habitation Household saving, saving incentives, retirement, Riester scheme, coarsened exact matching Since 2002 the German government seeks to stimulate private retirement savings by means of special allowances and tax exemptions - the so-called Riester scheme.

Ein Ziel dieser Aktion ist es, das öffentliche Bewusstsein für die Risiken von Armut und sozialer Ausgrenzung zu stärken und deren Ursachen und Auswirkungen besser zu verstehen. Neue Analysen zur Einkommensverteilung in Deutschland auf Basis der Daten des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP) zeigen für das Jahr 2008 eine deutlich höhere relative Einkommensarmut als noch vor zehn Jahren. Rund 11,5 Millionen Menschen lagen mit ihrem verfügbaren Einkommen unter der nach EU-Vorgaben definierten Armutsrisikoschwelle - dies entspricht rund 14 Prozent der Gesamtbevölkerung. Darunter finden sich vor allem Haushalte mit Kindern und jungen Erwachsenen. So unterliegen Alleinerziehende mit Kindern im Alter bis zu drei Jahren einem weit überdurchschnittlichen Armutsrisiko von mehr als 50 Prozent. Auch unter jungen Erwachsenen bis zu einem Alter von 25 Jahren lebt knapp ein Viertel mit einem Haushaltseinkommen unterhalb der Armutsgrenze. Die Analysen zeigen auch, dass die Einführung von zielgruppenspezifischen öffentlichen Transfers in der Pflegeversicherung sowie beim Elterngeld zu einer Senkung des Armutsrisikos bei den von diesen Transfers begünstigten Gruppen beigetragen hat. Ähnliches gilt für den Ausbau der Kinderbetreuungsinfrastruktur, die vor allem Müttern die Erwerbsaufnahme erleichtert und damit das Armutsrisiko von Haushalten mit Kleinkindern reduziert hat. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.347307.de/10-7-1.pdf SOEP D 5970 Neumann, Dirk, Peichl, Andreas, Schneider, Hilmar and Siegloch, Sebastian 2009 Die Steuerreformpläne der neuen Bundesregierung und das Bürgergeld: Eine Simulation von Risiken und Nebenwirkungen Wirtschaftsdienst 89 12 805-812 2009: IZA Standpunkte Nr.21.

Die vorliegende Studie enthält eine Simulation der mutmaßlichen Effekte einer Umsetzung des von der FDP vorgeschlagenen Stufentarifs und Bürgergelds auf den Arbeitsmarkt, der damit verbundenen fiskalischen Effekte und der zu erwartenden Verteilungswirkungen. Unsere Analyse zeigt, dass eine Gesamtreform, die alle Einkommensgruppen besser stellt, zwangsläufig zu Lasten der öffentlichen Haushalte geht. Rechnerisch ergeben sich fiskalische Kosten in Höhe von 86 Milliarden Euro pro Jahr. Da auch die Beschäftigungswirkungen nicht uneingeschränkt positiv zu bewerten sind, ist von der Einführung eines dreistufigen Steuersystems in Kombination mit einem Bürgergeld aus ökonomischer Sicht abzuraten. Betrachtet man den Steuerreformvorschlag separat, so ergeben sich positive Beschäftigungseffekte und geringere fiskalische Kosten. Allerdings sind diese mit etwa 86.000 Euro pro neu geschaffenen Vollzeitarbeitsplatz dennoch unverhältnismäßig hoch. Hinzu kommen nicht unproblematische Verteilungswirkungen zugunsten höherer Einkommen. Die geschilderten Wirkungen sind nicht von der konkreten Ausgestaltung des Reformvorschlages abhängig, sondern eher konzeptioneller Art. Sie würden auch dann in ähnlicher Weise zutage treten, wenn der FDP-Vorschlag in veränderter Form umgesetzt würde. http://ftp.iza.org/sp21.pdf SOEP D 5969 o.V. 2010 Arbeitsmarkt und Beschäftigung in Deutschland 2000-2009.

Moreover, researchers have argued that delayed maternity is an important factor in reduced fertility. Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP), this paper contributes to the debate about maternity timing and reduced fertility in Germany by analyzing some of the factors determining the delay of motherhood. The results suggest that German women who have accumulated more years of education and longer work experience at the time of marriage delay motherhood more. On the other hand, women with higher labor income and a higher contribution to household income delay motherhood less. The results confirm that women consolidate their careers before motherhood in order to reduce career costs. Therefore, if fertility rates are to be increased in Germany further policies that aim to combine women's careers and motherhood need to be developed.

However, we have strong evidence that differences between aspired and actually worked weekly hours have a serious negative impact on life, job and health satisfaction. This paper investigates the gap between employees’ preferences and realities by means of the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP) data. The central question analysed is, How many hours one would like to work, taking into account that earnings would change accordingly? A majority of German employees desired a reduction and only a small minority preferred an enlargement. By combining both effects, more than 2,4 million additional employees could have been statistically brought into work again, satisfaction would have been improved and consumerism somewhat mellowed. And, since mainly persons with children wanted to reduce their working hours, family life would have gained significantly.

This review has two aims. One is to report on trends in life course research by focusing on empirical studies published since the year 2000. The other is to assess the overall development of the field. Major advances can be observed in four areas: national individual-level longitudinal databases, the impact of institutional contexts on life courses, life courses under conditions of societal ruptures, and health across the life course. In four other areas, advancements have been less pronounced: internal dynamics and causal linkages across life, the interaction of development and socially constructed life courses, theory development, and new methods. Overall, life course sociology still has far to go to reach its full potential.

Tatsächlich ist im letzten Aufschwung die Zahl der arbeitslosen Hartz-IV-Bezieher kräftig gesunken. In den vorhergehenden Konjunkturzyklen hatte der Bestand derjenigen Arbeitslosen, die staatliche Sozialleistungen erhielten, im Aufschwung dagegen lediglich stagniert. Das ist für sich genommen aber nur ein schwaches Indiz für den Erfolg der Reform: Zum einen nahm die gesamte Arbeitslosigkeit im letzten Aufschwung stärker ab als früher, zum anderen ging der Abbau der Arbeitslosigkeit unter den Hartz-IV-Beziehern langsamer voran als bei den übrigen Arbeitslosen. Bei den Hartz-IV-Empfängern ist die Entwicklung der Unterbeschäftigung also weniger eng mit der jeweiligen gesamtwirtschaftlichen Arbeitskräftenachfrage verknüpft als bei den übrigen Erwerbslosen. Das liegt auch daran, dass viele von ihnen wegen fehlender Berufsausbildung schlechtere Jobchancen haben. Zudem wohnen sie besonders häufig in Regionen mit großen Arbeitsmarktproblemen. Insofern ist es durchaus als Erfolg zu werten, dass auch unter den Beziehern staatlicher Leistungen die Erwerbslosigkeit kräftig geschrumpft ist. Keine nennenswerten Veränderungen zeigen sich im Zeitvergleich bei der Bereitschaft, einen angebotenen Job anzunehmen. Der allergrößte der Teil der Arbeitslosen war sowohl vor als auch nach der Reform dazu bereit. Und die Hartz-IV-Erwerbslosen sind insgesamt genauso arbeitswillig wie die übrigen Arbeitslosen. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.347041.de/10-6-1.pdf SOEP D 5959 Pannenberg, Markus 2009 Risk attitudes and reservation wages of unemployed workers: Evidence from panel data Economics Letters 106 3 223-226 10.1016/j.econlet.2009.12.005 Journal Article longitudinal 02 SSCI Journal labour, subjective indicators Risk Attitudes, Reservation Wages, Job Search, Panel Data This paper studies risk attitudes of unemployed job seekers and their relationship to self-reported reservation wages.

For that purpose, I use data from the German Socio-Economic Panel for the period 1999 – 2006, and implement the decomposition methodologies of Fields (2003) and Yun (2006). I find that during the sub-period 1999-2002 each of the characteristics effect, coefficient effect and residual effect contributed to the increasing levels of wage inequality in Germany. On the other hand, the relative stability in wage inequality during the sub-period 2002-2006 was caused by the fact that the characteristics effect and the residual effect influenced wage inequality negatively, whereas the coefficient effect maintained a positive influence in both the western region, eastern region and in reunified Germany alike. Hence, I conclude that after 1999, changes in wage inequality in Germany can be explained by both; changes in workers characteristics and changes in the wage structure, and not by changes in the wage structure alone, as the case has been during the transition process in the first decade after reunification" http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.347231.de/diw_sp0269.pdf SOEP GB 5956 De Luca, Claudio 2010 Zum Teufel mit der Abstiegsangst Capital 3 36-39 Magazine Article citation of SOEP results 60 Popular Publication D 5955 Meng, Annika 2010 Long-term Care Responsibility and its Opportunity Costs Ruhr Economic Papers #168 Bochum, Dortmund, Duisburg, Essen Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Department of Economics, Technische Universität Dortmund, Department of Economics and Social Sciences, Universität Duisburg-Essen, Department of Economics and Rheinisch-Westfälisches Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung (RWI) Report citation of SOEP results 30 Discussion Paper Informal care, labor-market outcomes, sample selection This paper analyzes the relationship between long-term care provision and the average individual wage rate. In addition, the effects of the number of hours spent on caregiving on the probability of employment as well as on the number of hours worked are examined. Data from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement (SHARE) of 2004 and 2006 is used to analyze caregiving effects on the European labor market. Descriptive statistics show a positive correlation between hours of care and the wage rate for those working. In the regression analysis, sample-selection models combined with instrumental-variable estimation are used to estimate the causal effects of hours of care on wages. The results illustrate that care for parents has a large negative impact on the individual's wage rate. Test results show that controlling for sample selection is reasonable. Finally, the probability of employment is only decreased in the female sample. Although the hours worked are not significantly affected. http://www.rwi-essen.de/media/content/pages/publikationen/ruhr-economic-papers/REP_10_168.pdf GB 5954 Keese, Matthias 2010 Who Feels Constrained by High Debt Burdens?

Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel, my econometric analysis shows that a household's subjective debt burden is not only influenced by the current constellation of income, debt service and, possibly, the potential subsistence level, but also by expectations of the personal and overall socio-economic environment in the future (especially unemployment), as well as by further undetermined (and possibly non-financial) factors. Confronted with a certain ratio of consumer debt repayments and income, women perceive significantly higher subjective debt burdens. Unemployment is associated with drastically higher self-assessed debt burdens even when controlling for the overall financial situation of the household. Furthermore, some discrepancies between East and West Germans are detectable. Only some differences in the subjective perception of objective debt burdens can be explained with personal traits (such as risk attitudes) and life satisfaction. I draw the following conclusions: First, self-assessed debt burdens contain information beyond the current economic situation, e.g., expectations on future incomes. Second, relying on subjective debt statements may lead to biased results for policy analysis if the researcher does not account for non-financial factors. http://www.rwi-essen.de/media/content/pages/publikationen/ruhr-economic-papers/REP_10_169.pdf SOEP GB 5953 Peichl, Andreas, Pestel, Nico and Schneider, Hilmar 2010 Does Size Matter?

Berlin: DIW Berlin Report longitudinal 30 Discussion Paper income and poverty, transfer systems income distribution, demography, household size, decomposition, Germany In Germany, two observations can be made over the past 20 years: First, income inequality has been constantly increasing while, second, the average household size has been declining dramatically. The analysis of income distribution relies on equivalence-weighted incomes which take into account household size. Therefore, there is an obvious link between these two developments. The aim of the paper is to quantify how the trend towards smaller households has influenced the change in income distribution. In order to do so, we are using a decomposition of changes in inequality measures over time allowing for a separation between wage and demographic effects respectively. We propose similar decompositions for the change in poverty and richness as well and compare them with results that were obtained by a re-weighting procedure. Our results show that the income gap would also have increased without the demographic trend. But its level would be lower than it actually is. In addition, the demographic effect turns out to be larger for incomes before tax and benefits. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.353955.de/diw_sp0280.pdf SOEP GB 5952 Caliendo, Marco, Cobb-Clark, Deborah and Uhlendorff, Arne 2010 Locus of Control and Job Search Strategies IZA DP No. 4750 Bonn Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) 2010: DIW Discussion Papers 979. Berlin: DIW Berlin Report cross-sectional 31 DIW Discussion Paper labour, subjective indicators job search behavior, search effort, reservation wage, locus of control, unemployment Duration, Noncognitive Skills, Duration Analysis Standard job search theory assumes that unemployed individuals have perfect information about the effect of their search effort on the job offer arrival rate. In this paper, we present an alternative model which assumes instead that each individual has a subjective belief about the impact of his or her search effort on the rate at which job offers arrive. These beliefs depend in part on an individual's locus of control, i.e., the extent to which a person believes that future outcomes are determined by his or her own actions as opposed to external factors. We estimate the impact of locus of control on job search behavior using a novel panel data set of newly-unemployed individuals in Germany. Consistent with our theoretical predictions, we find evidence that individuals with an internal locus of control search more and that individuals who believe that their future outcomes are determined by external factors have lower reservation wages. http://ftp.iza.org/dp4750.pdf SOEP, IZA Evaluation Data Set GB 5951 Danzer, Alexander M. and Yaman, Firat 2010 Ethnic Concentration and Language Fluency of Immigrants in Germany IZA DP No. 4742 Bonn Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) 2010: SOEPpapers 277. Berlin: DIW Berlin Report longitudinal, simulation 30 Discussion Paper migration, methods enclave, ethnic concentration, language proficiency, immigrants, Instrumental variable, random utility model Studies that investigate the effect of the regional ethnic composition on immigrant outcomes have been complicated by the self-selection of ethnic minorities into specific neighbourhoods. We analyse the impact of own-ethnic concentration on the language proficiency of immigrants by exploiting the fact that the initial placement of guest-workers after WWII was determined by labour demanding firms and the federal labour administration and hence exogenous to immigrant workers. Combining several data sets, we find a small but robust and significant negative effect of ethnic concentration on immigrants' language ability. Simulation results of a choice model in which location and learning decisions are taken simultaneously confirm the presence of the effect. Immigrants with high learning costs are inclined to move to ethnic enclaves, so that the share of German-speakers would increase only modestly even under the counterfactual scenario of a regionally equal distribution of immigrants across Germany. http://ftp.iza.org/dp4742.pdf SOEP GB 5950 Evandrou, Maria, Falkingham, Jane and Sefton, Tom 2009 Women’s family histories and incomes in later life in the UK, US and West Germany LSE STICERD Research Paper No. CASE/138 London London School of Economics, Centre for Analysis of Social Exclusion Report longitudinal 30 Discussion Paper international comparison, gender, Income and poverty comparative, older women, pensions, work history, life course Using data from several large scale longitudinal surveys, this paper investigates the relationship between older women’s families histories and their personal incomes in later life in the UK, US and West Germany, By comparing three countries with very different welfare regimes, we seek to gain a better understanding of the interaction between the life course, pension system and women’s incomes in later life.

It makes a distinction between job-to-job (JJ) and job-to-non-employment (JNE) transitions, and explores the role that education and unemployment play in gender differences regarding these mobility patterns. Low educated women have lower JJ transition probabilities but are more likely to exit to non-employment compared to the other groups, high-educated women and men of all educational levels. Furthermore, unemployment reduces the JJ turnover of male and female workers of all educational levels. There is a pro-cyclical response in the JNE transitions of the less-educated males and a counter-cyclical response in the JNE transitions of the less-educated females. Finally, there are remarkable similarities in labour market mobility across countries, although there are various institutional and other labour market differences.

Previous research on labour supply has assumed that as workers freely choose their optimal working hours on the basis of their innate preferences and the hourly wage rate, outcome reflects preference. This paper tests this assumption by measuring the impact of changes in working-hours on life satisfaction in two countries (the UK and Germany using the German Socio-Economic Panel and the British Household Panel Survey).

In addition to their significance for national reporting, the EU-SILC data are of great international significance for comparative EU-wide measurement, description, and analysis in support of the European Commission’s stated objective of fighting poverty and reducing social inequality through the European social cohesion process. It is therefore crucial to assess the quality of the German contribution to EU-SILC, particularly in view of evidence in the literature of methodological problems in this still relatively young survey with respect to the representation of specific social groups and the distri-bution of key educational characteristics that can have a considerable impact on the degree and structure of inequality and poverty (see Hauser 2008, Causa et al. 2009, Nolan et al. 2009). While previous papers have critically examined the German EU-SILC contribution in comparison to the cross-sectional data from the German Survey of Income and Expenditure (EVS), the present paper compares EU-SILC-based results about income trends, inequality, and mobility with results based on SOEP, a widely used alternate panel survey of private households in Germany. The—in some cases severe—differences identified are discussed in the context of the surveying and interviewing methods, post-data-collection treatment of the micro-data as well as sample characteristics of the two studies, all of which exert a major influence on the substantive results and thus on the core findings regarding the social situation of Germany in EU-wide comparison. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.346496.de/diw_sp0265.pdf SOEP, EU-SILC GB 5945 Van Suntum, Ulrich, Prinz, Aloys and Uhde, Nicole 2009 Lebenszufriedenheit und Wohlbefinden in Deutschland: Studie zur Konstruktion eines Lebenszufriedenheitsindikators SOEPpapers 259 Berlin DIW Berlin Report cross-sectional 35 Other DIW Publications subjective indicators "subjective indicators, life satisfaction; happiness; Germany" http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.346193.de/diw_sp0259.pdf SOEP D 5944 Schneider, Brit S. and Schneider, Udo 2009 Determinants and Consequences of Health Behaviour: New Evidence from German Micro Data SOEPpapers 253 Berlin DIW Berlin Report cross-sectional 35 Other DIW Publications health "health behaviour; multivariate probit; education; labour force participation" The economic costs of chronic health conditions and severe illnesses like diabetes, coronary heart disease or cancer are immense. Several clinical trials give information about the importance of individual behaviour for the prevalence of these illnesses. Changes in health relevant behaviour may therefore lead to a decline of avoidable illnesses and related health care costs. In this context, we use German micro data to identify determinants of smoking, drinking and obesity. Our empirical approach allows for the simultaneity between adverse health behaviour and self-reported health as a measure of the individual health capital stock. We can show that health behaviour is related to the socioeconomic status of an individual. Furthermore, we find gender-specific differences in behaviour as well as differences in the determinants of drinking, smoking and heavy body weight in particular. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.345482.de/diw_sp0253.pdf SOEP GB 5943 Dittmann, Jörg 2009 Unsicherheit in Zeiten gesellschaftlicher Transformation.

I apply this model to study the short and long run labor supply effects of a fundamental reform of the German income tax system, i.e. the shift from joint to individual taxation of married couples and show that labor supply responses are significantly higher in the long run than in the short run.

In a simple life-cylce model benefits from public pension systems should displace equal amounts of private retirement accumulation. Our estimate for the offset effect, corrected for several possible measurement biases, is much lower, however, than expected from pure life-cycle considerations and less than comparable estimates for the US and the UK. This result thus supports other evidence on a particular German savings puzzle, which might be due to market imperfections and/or bounded rational behaviour.

We study the formation of identity with home and host countries. We investigate how identity with either country relates to immigrants' and their children's labour market outcomes. Finally, we analyse the intergenerational transmission of identity. Our analysis is based on a unique longitudinal dataset on immigrants and their children. We find that identity with either country is only weakly related to labour market outcomes. However, there is strong intergenerational transmission of identity from one generation to the next. http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1468-0297.2009.02336.x/abstract SOEP GB 5939 Hessel, Philipp 2009 Europäisierung oder Globalisierung von Ungleichheit?

As reasons for this increase it is often referred the process of globalization. A lot less attention has been given to another process of economic integration – the process of European integration. One exception is the study of the American sociologist Jason Beckfield from the year 2006 in which the author shows a negative effect of both political as well as economic Europeanization on income inequality. These results shall be replicated in this study based on income data from EU member countries for the time period 1993-2007. Thereby the assumptions regarding both processes – Globalization and Europeanization – shall be linked theoretically as well as empirically. The results will indicate that in particular the process of economic integration into the EU’s Common Market has a considerable effect on the income inequality. The negative effects of political integration and globalization are not or only partially supported. http://www.polsoz.fu-berlin.de/soziologie/arbeitsbereiche/makrosoziologie/arbeitspapiere/pdf/BSSE_19_Europaeisierung_oder_Globalisierung_von_Ungleichheit.pdf ECHP D 5938 Schupp, Jürgen and Wagner, Gert G. 2010 Zum 'Warum' und 'Wie' der Erhebung von (genetischen) 'Biomarkern' in sozialwissenschaftlichen Surveys SOEPpapers 260 Berlin DIW Berlin Report methodological 35 Other DIW Publications methods, miscellaneous Diese Anmerkungen verfolgen zwei bescheidene Ziele: (1.) über den Überblicks-Beitrag von Behrens (2010) hinaus zu verdeutlichen, warum das Erheben von ‚Biomarkern‘ bis hin zu ‚Gen-Informationen‘ für die Soziologie wichtig ist, und (2.) über erste Erfahrungen bei der Erhebung von Gen-Material in einem bevölkerungsrepräsentativen Survey kurz zu berichten. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.346298.de/diw_sp0260.pdf SOEP D 5937 Riediger, Michaela, Schmiedek, Florian, Wagner, Gert G. and Lindenberger, Ulman 2009 Seeking Pleasure and Seeking Pain: Differences in Prohedonic and Contra-Hedonic Motivation From Adolescence to Old Age Psychological Science 20 12 1529-1535 10.1111/j.1467-9280.2009.02473.x Journal Article other 02 SSCI Journal subjective indicators Using a mobile-phone-based experience-sampling technology in a sample of 378 individuals ranging from 14 to 86 years of age, we investigated age differences in how people want to influence their feelings in their daily lives. Contra-hedonic motivations of wanting either to maintain or enhance negative affect or to dampen positive affect were most prevalent in adolescence, whereas prohedonic motivations of wanting either to maintain, but not enhance, positive affect or to dampen negative affect were most prevalent in old age. This pattern was mirrored by an age-related increase in self-reported day-to-day emotional well-being. Analyses of the emotional experiences that accompanied prohedonic and contra-hedonic motivations are consistent with the notions that contra-hedonic motivations are more likely to serve utilitarian than hedonic functions, and that people are more likely to be motivated to maintain negative affect when it is accompanied by positive affect. Implications for understanding affective development are discussed. GB 5936 Kahanec, Martin and Shields, Michael P. 2010 The Working Hours of Immigrants in Germany: Temporary versus Permanent IZA DP No. 4735 Bonn Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) Report longitudinal 30 Discussion Paper Migration, Labour migration, temporary migrants, labor supply, Germany Migration is often viewed as an investment decision. Temporary migrants can be expected to invest less in accumulating human capital specific to the host country. Instead, they work more hours in order to accumulate savings and invest in financial capital that can be transferred back to their country of origin upon return. In this paper, using German panel data, we explore how temporary migrants differ from permanent migrants in their labor supply decisions and behavior. Upon correcting for endogeneity bias, temporary migrants are found to work more hours than permanent ones. This result supports the human capital theory and a household production model of migration where migrants may be temporary by choice and not because of legal restrictions or even a bad experience in the labor market. http://ftp.iza.org/dp4735.pdf SOEP GB 5935 Apouey, Bénédicte and Clark, Andrew E. 2010 Winning Big but Feeling No Better? The Effect of Lottery Prizes on Physical and Mental Health IZA DP No. 4730 Bonn Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) Report citation of SOEP results 30 Discussion Paper income, self-assessed health, mental health, smoking, drinking We use British panel data to determine the exogenous impact of income on a number of individual health outcomes: general health status, mental health, physical health problems, and health behaviors (drinking and smoking). Lottery winnings allow us to make causal statements regarding the effect of income on health, as the amount won by winners is largely exogenous. Positive income shocks have no significant effect on general health, but a large positive effect on mental health. This result seems paradoxical on two levels. First, there is a well-known status gradient in health in cross-section data, and, second, general health should partly reflect mental health, so that we may expect both variables to move in the same direction. We propose a solution to the first apparent paradox by underlining the endogeneity of income. For the second, we show that lottery winnings are also associated with more smoking and social drinking. General health will reflect both mental health and the effect of these behaviors, and so may not improve following a positive income shock. This paper thus presents the first microeconomic analogue of previous work which has highlighted the negative health consequences of good macroeconomic conditions. http://ftp.iza.org/dp4730.pdf GB 5934 Pouliakas, Konstantinos and Theodossiou, Ioannis 2010 An Inquiry into the Theory, Causes and Consequences of Monitoring Indicators of Health and Safety at Work IZA DP No. 4734 Bonn Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) Report citation of SOEP results 30 Discussion Paper health, safety, indicators, accidents, diseases, absenteeism This paper engages in an interdisciplinary survey of the current state of knowledge related to the theory, determinants and consequences of occupational safety and health (OSH). First, it synthesizes the available theoretical frameworks used by economists and psychologists to understand the issues related to the optimal provision of OSH in the labour market. Second, it reviews the academic literature investigating the correlates of a comprehensive set of OSH indicators, which portray the state of OSH infrastructure (social security expenditure, prevention, regulations), inputs (chemical and physical agents, ergonomics, working time, violence) and outcomes (injuries, illnesses, absenteeism, job satisfaction) within workplaces. Third, it explores the implications of the lack of OSH in terms of the economic and social costs that are entailed. Finally, the survey identifies areas of future research interests and suggests priorities for policy initiatives that can improve the health and safety of workers. http://ftp.iza.org/dp4734.pdf GB 5933 Rokkanen, Miikka and Uusitalo, Roope 2010 Changes in Job Stability: Evidence from Lifetime Job Histories IZA DP No. 4721 Bonn Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) Report citation of SOEP results 30 Discussion Paper job stability, duration model We use lifetime job histories from the pension records to evaluate changes in job stability in Finland between 1963 and 2004. We specify a duration model and estimate the effects of elapsed duration, age, and calendar time on the hazard of job ending using individual-level panel data spanning over four decades. We find that this hazard increased during the recession years in the early 1990s but has now returned to the level that prevailed in the 1970s. We also demonstrate that the fluctuations in the hazard rate together with the changes in labor market entry rates have complicated dynamic effects on the tenure distribution, and that analysing the changes in job stability based on the elapsed duration of ongoing jobs may be quite misleading. http://ftp.iza.org/dp4721.pdf GB 5932 Basilio, Leilanie and Bauer, Thomas K. 2010 Transferability of Human Capital and Immigrant Assimilation Ruhr Economic Papers #164 Bochum, Dortmund, Duisburg, Essen Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Department of Economics, Technische Universität Dortmund, Department of Economics and Social Sciences, Universität Duisburg-Essen, Department of Economics and Rheinisch-Westfälisches Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung (RWI) 2010: IZA DP No. 4716. Bonn: Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) Report longitudinal 30 Discussion Paper migration, education Human capital, rate of return, immigration, assimilation This paper investigates the transferability of human capital across countries and the contribution of imperfect human capital portability to the explanation of the immigrant-native wage gap. Using data for West Germany, our results reveal that, overall, education and labor market experience accumulated in the home countries of the immigrants receive significantly lower returns than human capital obtained in Germany. We further find evidence for heterogeneity in the returns to human capital of immigrants across origin countries. Finally, imperfect human capital transferability appears to be a major factor in explaining the wage differential between natives and immigrants. http://www.rwi-essen.de/media/content/pages/publikationen/ruhr-economic-papers/REP_10_164.pdf SOEP GB 5931 Schrinner, Axel and Müller, Peter 2009 Forscher warnen vor der Herdprämie Handelsblatt vom 10.

By geocoding the addresses of private households (while not identifying them by name and while guaranteeing their complete anonymity) with block-level geographic precision, respondents’ data can now be analyzed in a specific spatial context. Previous regional analyses of SOEP on the basis of official regional indicators (e.g., the unemployment rate) were always confronted with very imprecise spatial information. This limitation has now been overcome with the geocoded respondents’ information. Within the protected unit of the fieldwork organization responsible for SOEP (TNS Infratest, Munich), the addresses of survey households are used to generate a variable describing the location of the household with block-level precision. At DIW Berlin, this additional variable is fed into a special computer infrastructure with multiple security layers that makes the socio-economic analysis possible. This paper demonstrates the use of geographical location and remote sensing data in checking respondents’ subjective assessments of the location of their residence. The analytical potential of linking remote sensing data and survey data is demonstrated and discussed. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.346847.de/diw_sp0267.pdf SOEP D 5927 Trzcinski, Eileen and Holst, Elke 2010 Interrelationships among Locus of Control and Years in Management and Unemployment: Differences by Gender SOEPpapers 266 Berlin DIW Berlin 2010: DIW DP 974. Berlin: DIW Berlin Report longitudinal 35 Other DIW Publications labour, gender, subjective indicators This paper focuses on gender differences in the role played by locus of control within a model that predicts outcomes for men and women at two opposite poles of the labour market: high level managerial / leadership positions and unemployment. Based on data from the German Socio-Economic Panel, we investigated the extent to which gender differences occur in the processes by which highly positive and negative labour market outcomes are determined and in the processes underlying the development of one particular aspect of personality, that is, locus of control. Overall gender differences were more pronounced in the results for years in managerial/ leadership positions than for locus of control. Negative labour market states were also marked by gender differences, but not to the same degree observed for positive states. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.346838.de/diw_sp0266.pdf SOEP GB 5926 Rooth, Dan-Olaf 2010 Work Out or Out of Work: The Labor Market Return to Physical Fitness and Leisure Sport Activities IZA DP No. 4684 Bonn Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) Report citation of SOEP results 30 Discussion Paper leisure sports, physical fitness, cardiovascular fitness, correspondence testing, earnings This study is the first to present evidence of the return to leisure sports in the job hiring process by sending fictitious applications to real job openings in the Swedish labor market. In the field experiment job applicants were randomly given different information about their type and level of leisure sport being engaged in. Applications which signal sport skills have a significantly higher callback rate of about two percentage points for men, and this effect is about twice as large in physically demanding occupations. This indicates a health-productivity interpretation of the results. However, the result is mainly driven by the return to sports as soccer and golf, and not at all by more fitness related sports as running and swimming, which is indicative of alternative explanations for the labor market sports premium. One possible explanation emerges when analyzing register data on adult earnings and physical fitness when enlisting at age 18. The fitness premium, net of unobservable family variables, is in the order of 4-5 percent, but diminishes to 1 percent when controlling for non-cognitive skills. Hence, these results indicate that being engaged in leisure sports signals having important social skills. http://ftp.iza.org/dp4684.pdf GB 5925 Hirsh, Jacob B. 2010 Personality and Environmental Concern Journal of Environmental Psychology online first 10.1016/j.jenvp.2010.01.004 Journal Article cross-sectional 02 SSCI Journal subjective indicators personality, big five, environmental concern, environmentalism, GSOEP People vary considerably in their attitudes toward environmental issues.

Combining a computable general equilibrium analysis with abundant empirical data on heterogenous household types, we investigate both the distributional and allocative impact of such a reform proposal. Our results indicate efficiency gains in terms of GDP and employment. This is because employed households of all skill types would increase their labour supply. Yet, while these household types would benefit from introducing health premia, others, such as those including pensioners or unemployed individuals, may suffer in terms of equivalent variations, despite tax-financed compensating transfers to these low-income households. Nonetheless, such transfers are an essential part of the reform proposal in order to mitigate redistributional effects. By comparing two different compensation schemes, we find that higher transfers go along with higher GDP and employment. This result may indicate that more redistribution comes at no efficiency costs SOEP GB 5923 Fuchs-Schündeln, Nicola, Krueger, Dirk and Sommer, Mathias 2010 Inequality trends for Germany in the last two decades: A tale of two countries Review of Economic Dynamics 13 1 103-132 2009: NBER Working Paper No. 15059.

We generally find that inequality was relatively stable in West Germany until the German reunification, and then trended upwards for wages and market incomes, especially after about 1998. Disposable income and consumption, on the other hand, display only a modest increase in inequality over the same period. These trends occurred against the backdrop of lower trend growth of earnings, incomes and consumption in the 1990s relative to the 1980s. In the second part of the paper we further analyze the differences between East and West Germans in terms of the evolution of levels and inequality of wages, income, and consumption. http://www.wiwi.uni-frankfurt.de/profs/fuchs/staff/fuchs/paper8.pdf SOEP GB 5922 Bell, David N.F. and Blanchflower, David G. 2010 Youth unemployment: Déjà vu?

Using the USA and UK as cast studies, it analyses both causes and effects of youth unemployment using micro-data. It argues that there is convincing evidence that the young are particularly susceptible to the negative effects of spells of unemployment well after their initial experience of worklessness. Because the current youth cohort is relatively large, the longer-term outlook for youth unemployment is quite good, but there is a strong case for policy intervention now to address the difficulties that the current cohort is having in finding access to work. http://ftp.iza.org/dp4705.pdf GB 5921 Schmollack, Simone 2010 Sauberkeit bleibt Sache der Frau die tageszeitung (taz) vom 28.

This paper investigates this relationship using micro-data for seventeen OECD countries. In all countries, female earnings exert an equalising force on the distribution of income in spite of large employment gaps between high and low educated women. There are marked similarities across countries; even in Nordic countries where employment rates are high female earnings comprise a small proportion of the family budget and single women, employed or not, are overrepresented in the bottom of the income distribution. The US is the one country that stands out, with greater earnings equality among couples and more single women households making it into the top quintile. For all countries, raising female employment and reducing employment inequality between women would have a substantial impact on reducing household income inequality, and a far larger impact than reducing the gender pay gap." http://www.lisproject.org/publications/liswps/531.pdf LIS GB 5917 Bartling, Björn, Fehr, Ernst and Schmidt, Klaus M. 2010 Screening, Competition, and Job Design: Economic Origins of Good Jobs IZA DP No. 4710 Bonn Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) 2010: SOEPpapers 263.

These ""high-performance work systems"" are difficult to understand in terms of standard moral hazard models. We show experimentally that complementarities between high effort discretion, rent-sharing, screening opportunities, and competition are important driving forces behind these new forms of work organization. We document in particular the endogenous emergence of two fundamentally distinct types of employment strategies. Employers either implement a control strategy, which consists of low effort discretion and little or no rent-sharing, or they implement a trust strategy, which stipulates high effort discretion and substantial rent-sharing. If employers cannot screen employees, the control strategy prevails, while the possibility of screening renders the trust strategy profitable. The introduction of competition substantially fosters the trust strategy, reduces market segmentation, and leads to large welfare gains for both employers and employees.

Berlin: DIW Berlin Report longitudinal 30 Discussion Paper subjective indicators, migration, transfer system redistribution, social security, welfare state, immigration, ethnic diversity, Germany, cluster-robust standard errors, two-way clustering Using data from the 1997 and 2002 waves of the German Socio-Economic Panel and from official statistics, the present paper studies whether natives are less supportive of state help for the unemployed in regions where the share of foreigners among the unemployed is high. The effect of immigration or ethnic diversity in general on the political support for the welfare state has received increasing attention in the last decade, both in academia and in the political debate. Some authors have argued that a certain social cohesion is not only the result of, but also a necessary condition for social policy and redistribution, and that ethnic diversity weakens this social cohesion. Previous empirical studies have given mixed results, however. Unlike these previous studies, I use individual-level panel data, which allows a more convincing identification of a causal effect. Also, the effect of immigration on support for redistribution has not been studied for Germany—Europe’s largest country of immigration in terms of absolute numbers— before. Finally, similar to the influential study by Luttmer (2001), I am able to relate the support for a particular aspect of the welfare state (help for the unemployed) not just to the overall share of foreigners in the population, but also to their share among the unemployed. The main result is that there is indeed evidence that German natives’ support for the unemployed is negatively affected by the regional share of foreigners among the unemployed. This still holds when individual characteristics are controlled for, and also when only the within variation is exploited, although in the latter case the estimates are not always statistically significant at conventional levels. Concerning practical significance, I find that a one standard deviation increase in the regional share of foreigners among the unemployed reduces natives’ support for helping the unemployed by about two percent of the standard deviation. This effect is rather small compared to other variables such as income, self-employment, or East German origin. ftp://ftp.zew.de/pub/zew-docs/dp/dp10008.pdf, http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.347699.de/diw_sp0272.pdf SOEP GB 5914 Augurzky, Boris, Reichert, Arndt and Tauchmann, Harald 2010 The Effect of Self-assessed Job Security on the Demand for Medical Rehab Ruhr Economic Papers #162 Bochum, Dortmund, Duisburg, Essen Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Department of Economics, Technische Universität Dortmund, Department of Economics and Social Sciences, Universität Duisburg-Essen, Department of Economics and Rheinisch-Westfälisches Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung (RWI) Report longitudinal 30 Discussion Paper health, labour Rehab, unemployment, health care utilization, job worries, absenteeism, sick leave The interdependence of labor market conditions and the demand for health care has been addressed by several theoretical and empirical analyses. We contribute to the debate by empirically examining the effect of a decrease in self-perceived job security on health care utilization. That is, employees at risk of losing their job might postpone or even try not to use non-acute rehab measures in order to reduce their individual risk of being laid off by avoiding absenteeism and signaling good health. We use individual-level data from the German Socioeconomic Panel for the years 2003, 2004, and 2006. The identification strategy rests on an instrumental variable approach where the county unemployment rate and its relative change compared to the previous year serve as instruments for the employees' self-assessed risk of losing their jobs. Contrary to the hypothesis, we have evidence for job insecurity increasing the demand for medical rehab. This finding is robust to various model variants. http://www.rwi-essen.de/media/content/pages/publikationen/ruhr-economic-papers/REP_10_162.pdf SOEP GB 5913 Fuchs-Schündeln, Nicola 2009 On preferences for being self-employed Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization 71 2 162-171 10.1016/j.jebo.2009.03.024 Journal Article longitudinal 02 SSCI Journal labour, subjective indicators Heterogeneous preferences, Procedural utility, Job satisfaction, Workplace conditions The concept of procedural utility assumes that agents not only receive utility from outcomes but also attach an independent value to the procedures that lead to these outcomes. This paper analyzes whether the preferences that underlie procedural utility are homogeneous using the case of independence at the workplace. I exploit the event of German reunification to assign preferences for independence to respondents without using data on occupational choice or directly reported procedural preferences. I find that the self-employed report higher job satisfaction than the employed, even after controlling for income and hours worked. However, there is a significant amount of heterogeneity in this effect: while “independent types” experience a large increase in job satisfaction from being self-employed, the most “hierarchical types” could even experience a decrease. http://www.wiwi.uni-frankfurt.de/professoren/fuchs/staff/fuchs/paper2.pdf SOEP GB 5912 Kroh, Martin and Tucci, Ingrid 2010 The Party Identification of Germany's Immigrant Population: Parties Should Not Fear Eased Naturalization Requirements Weekly Report 6 4 20-26 Journal Article longitudinal 05 DIW Weekly Report migration, subjective indicators Migrants, Political behavior, SOEP "Individuals with a migration background represent a steadily increasing percentage of Germany's population. Although the majority of individuals with migration background lack German citizenship and are therefore unable to vote, the number of naturalized immigrants continues to rise. Accordingly, political parties have been showing greater interest in this group of potential voters. Data from the German Socio-Economic Panel Study (SOEP) show that individuals with migration background develop diverse orientations to Germany's political parties in relation to their country of origin. The effect exercised by the country of origin is still present after many years of residence in Germany and among the second-generation. A large majority of individuals from the so-called ""recruitment countries""-i.e. countries from which Germany acquired workers for its booming economy in the 1950s and 60s; namely, Turkey, Yugoslavia, Spain, Italy, Greece, and Portugal-identify politically with the SPD (Germany's mainstream labor party). By contrast, foreigners of German descent who have immigrated from Eastern Europe and Russia (so-called ""Aussiedler"" or ""Spätaussiedler"") tend to support the CDU/CSU (Germany's traditional conservative party alliance). Germany's smaller political parties find relatively little support among immigrants and their offspring. While extremely diverse party identifications are witnessed among migrants depending on their country of origin, these differences can only be minimally attributed to social circumstances or basic ideological outlook. Model calculations show that eased naturalization laws would not provide an appreciable advantage to any single political party." http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.346062.de/diw_wr_2010-04.pdf SOEP GB 5911 Boyce, Christopher J. 2009 Understanding fixed effects in human well-being Journal of Economic Psychology 31 1 1-16 10.1016/j.joep.2009.08.009 Journal Article longitudinal 02 SSCI Journal subjective indicators Life satisfaction, Individual differences, Personality, Fixed effect vector decomposition, GSOEP In studies of subjective well-being, economists and other researchers typically use a fixed or random effect estimation to control for unobservable heterogeneity across individuals. Such individual heterogeneity, although substantially reducing the estimated effect of many characteristics, is little understood. This paper shows that personality measures can account for 20% of this heterogeneity and a further 13% can be accounted for by other observable between-person information. This paper then demonstrates that the use of personality measures, in a new technique developed by [Plumper, T., Troeger, V.E. (2007). Efficient estimation of time-invariant and rarely changing variables in finite sample panel analyses with unit fixed effects, Political Analysis, 15(2), 124-139.], can help researchers obtain improved estimates for important characteristics such as marital status, disability and income.

Berlin: DIW Berlin Report cross-sectional 30 Discussion Paper income and poverty, subjective indicators happiness, inequality aversion, risk attitudes, well-being Using self reported measures of life satisfaction and risk attitudes, we empirically test whether there is a relationship between individuals inequality and risk aversion. The empirical analysis uses the German SOEP household panel for the years 1997 to 2007 to conclude that the negative effect of inequality measured by the sample gini coefficient by year and federal state is larger for those individuals who report to be less willing to take risks. Nevertheless, the empirical results suggest that even though inequality and risk aversion are related, they are not the same thing. The paper shows that the relationship between risk attitudes and inequality aversion survives the inclusion of individual characteristics (i.e. income, education, and gender) that may be correlated with both risk attitudes and inequality aversion. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.347295.de/diw_sp0271.pdf SOEP GB 5909 Von, Gabi 2010 Die fiktiven Reichen Hannoversche Allgemeine Zeitung vom 20.

In contrast to former empirical studies assimilation patterns are not solely investigated in a cross-sectional framework, but a cohort model is estimated which corrects for potential estimation biases arising in cross-sectional analyses. Furthermore, return migrants are not identified by means of their expected duration of stay in Germany but by the fact that they actually reemigrated. The empirical findings of the cross-sectional analysis indicate positive self-selection of temporary migrants compared to permanent migrants regarding their economic performance in Germany. A persistent wage disadvantage for permanent migrants compared to German natives is predicted. An endogeneity correction of the return migration decision reveals positive selection of return migrants compared to permanent migrants regarding unobservable characteristics. Quantile regressions show an earnings advantage for return migrants compared to permanent migrants for low-income levels. A decomposition of the wage distribution identifies educational differences as a main determinant of wage differences. In contrast to the findings of the cross-sectional analysis the results of the cohort model estimation imply that wage differences between permanent migrants and comparable Germans are insignificant.

We use data from the German Socio-Economic Panel Study (SOEP), which allows us to control for a rich set of child and parental characteristics and to use the mother’s life satisfaction before the birth of her child as an instrument to eliminate potential reverse causality. The results indicate that the more satisfied the mother, the better her child’s verbal skills and the lower his or her socio-emotional problems. The relation is more pronounced for boys than for girls. The results are robust even when mothers’ personality or mothers’ cognitive skills are controlled for. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.344455.de/diw_sp0242.pdf SOEP GB 5906 Eichhorst, Werner, Marx, Paul and Thode, Eric 2009 Arbeitsmarkt und Beschäftigung in Deutschland 2000–2009: Benchmarking Deutschland: Beschäftigungserfolge bei zunehmender Differenzierung Gütersloh Bertelsmann Stiftung 2009: IZA Research Report No. 22.

So werden in England und Australien systematisch wellbeing-Indizes erstellt, die Auskunft über die Entwicklung wichtiger Glückskomponenten, etwa des Umweltzustands, geben.

This is accompanied by the fact that the perceived intensity of the socially especially important conflict between the poor and the rich has grown not only slightly. In this connection particularly for the disadvantaged groups – and beneath this in a pronounced manner for the (permanently) unemployed persons – there is a relatively high potential of dissatisfaction. This includes some dangers for the democracy and the social stability in Germany although in an EU-27 perspective – at least in Western Germany – these dangers are rather ranked to a middle level which means that in this international relativity only a middle level of danger is indicated for (Western) Germany. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.345752.de/diw_sp0256.pdf SOEP D 5902 Faik, Jürgen and Becker, Jens 2009 Subjektive und objektive Lebenslagen von Arbeitslosen SOEPpapers 255 Berlin DIW Berlin Report longitudinal 31 DIW Discussion Paper subjective indicators, labour Life-satisfaction, satisfaction in domains of life, unemployment Das Diskussionspapier thematisiert die objektive und subjektive Lebenslage von Arbeitslosen in Deutschland im Vergleich zur Gesamtbevölkerung.

This concept is special for its attempt on including traditional status variables like education, occupation and income as well as social and health-related items and also subjective indicators. The aim was to build a model to represent social and living conditions in an all-embracing way on the empirical bases of factoranalytical outcomes. The used data base was the German socio-economic panel for the years 1992 to 2005. The added value of this approach is first constructing a deprivation index whose operationalization is based on empirical results instead of heuristic decisions and second having an instrument to describe deprived living conditions both in a user-friendly and sophisticated way as the score is related to statistical procedures. Further more the usage of factoranalysis resolves certain methodological problems like additional effects and autocorrelation that are commonly accepted in index building. By developing a special standardisation the index has a range between -1 and +1, but the relative positions of the values are unmodified. Additional to the deprivation index several sub-indices are constructed – also on the base of factoranalytical findings – to built up developments and changes in important areas of life like health, housing, social networks and integration, income, education and occupation. The developed deprivation index is correlated to other status indexes by coefficients up to 0,6, so it can be seen as a valid instrument to reflect social and living conditions. Besides the external validation the index has been examined for its capability and utility by applying in different longitudinal and area-based analysis. There it could be shown that living conditions have slightly improved since 1992, but that certain groups are privileged like men, people in middle-age and home country nationals. It was also observable that living conditions vary a lot between different regions in Germany. As the eastern part of Germany notes many deficits in such important areas of life like housing, occupation and income it can be stated that almost two decades after the “Wende” the process of unification is still not finished. http://opus.kobv.de/tuberlin/volltexte/2008/2025/pdf/schmidtke_kerstin.pdf SOEP D 5900 o.V. 2009 "Lebenszufriedenheit und Wohlbefinden in Deutschland: Studie zur Konstruktion eines Lebenszufriedenheitsindikators (""Glücks-BIP"") - Zusammenfassung der Studie" o.O.

Or cette question est hautement controversée. Les avocats d’un SMIC à l’allemande s’appuient souvent sur le « modèle français » pour étayer leurs arguments, arguant notamment des effets favorables pour l’emploi induits par les salaires minima. Mais la situation allemande – à commencer par la structure des salaires – est très différente du cas français, ce qui rend délicat l’exercice de transposition. Par ailleurs, les plaidoyers allemands sont le plus généralement construits exclusivement sur une approche du « socialement souhaitable » sans tenir compte des réalités économiques. De ce fait même, les arguments développés sont établis sur des bases qui ne résistent pas toujours à l’analyse, ainsi par exemple la présentation faite de la structure du segment des bas salaires en Allemagne. Avec cette ‘mise en regard’ des arguments de la controverse sur la question du salaire minimum légal, nous ouvrons une nouvelle rubrique dans les pages de Regards sur l’économie allemande, consacrée, lorsque l’actualité le justifie, aux débats intra-allemands sur la politique économique et sociale. (IB) Nous avons donc demandé à l’institut DIW de Berlin, réputé en France notamment pour son approche néo-keynésienne de la politique économique et sociale, de nous dresser un état des lieux des débats et arguments outre-Rhin. Sur cette base, et grâce aux données chiffrées plus fines présentées dans cette contribution, le lecteur français pourra se forger une opinion plus réaliste de la situation sociale de la RFA, mais aussi mieux comprendre les termes mêmes de la controverse intra-allemande. http://rea.revues.org/index3990.html SOEP F 5896 Strauß, Susanne 2009 Ehrenamt in Deutschland und Großbritannien - Sprungbrett zurück auf den Arbeitsmarkt?

On the basis of the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP) and the British Household Panel Study (BHPS), random effect logit models are used to show a positive influence of volunteering on the labour market chances mainly for young unemployed British males. The article develops a theoretical explanation for these findings based on human and social capital theories as well as on the Varieties of Capitalism approach. This enables the relevance of volunteering in the labour market to be evaluated, not only with respect to the volunteer’s sex and age but also with respect to the institutional context factors.

Lohnkonzessionen von ALG II-Empfängern Sozialer Fortschritt 57 3 75-84 2007: IAB Discussion Paper, 23/2007, Nürnberg Journal Article citation of SOEP results 04 Other Journal The paper examines wage requirements of recipients of Unemployment Benefit II (ALG II), taking up former evaluations by Christensen on wage demands of the unemployed in Germany. Unlike Christensen, we did not base our analyses on the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP). Instead, we used the cross-sectional data provided by the Institute for Employment Research (IAB) in a survey focused on the living conditions and social security aspects ('Lebenssituation und soziale Sicherung') of recipients of ALG II, carried out at an early stage after the reform of unemployment benefit and social assistance in Germany. We were especially interested in finding out whether the unemployed have become more prepared to reduce their wage demands since the introduction of the German Social Code II (SGB II) compared to the period up to 2000 (cf. Christensen). To do so, we particularly investigated the ratio between wages paid before unemployment and reservation wages, the dependency of this ratio on the duration of unemployment as well as the factors determining the reservation wage level. Analyses of the most recent IAB survey of ALG II recipients demonstrate that the preparedness to accept lower wages has not (yet) increased significantly since the introduction of SGB II. Descriptive results show that the reservation wage level tends to be independent of the recipient's current employment status. Instead, the wage level demanded is rather determined by whether the recipient lives on his or her own or in a multiparty household. The indicated reservation wage level increases with the number of children in the household. Taking the Reservation Wage Ratio (RWR) as a basis as in Christensen's study, it emerges that respondents state they are prepared to accept employment only on provision of a net hourly wage rate increase of 13% on average compared to that previous to unemployment. Another outcome is that the RWR does not decrease in line with the duration of unemployment. Recipients' personal circumstances are also fundamental to the reservation wage level in the multivariate estimations, the wage received before unemployment being the most significant indicator. The present results must be considered preliminary for two reasons: firstly, there is still potential for more detail in the multivariate analyses. Secondly, due to initial difficulties in implementing the new SGB II-based legislation on the part of the responsible bodies, it is unlikely that the available data as yet fully reflect the impacts of the reform, in particular with respect to indications on reservation wages. Ultimately, we will only be in a position to learn more about the preparedness of ALG II recipients to reduce wage requirements when we have access to data on the issues in focus over a sequence of several years, which is planned by the IAB. http://doku.iab.de/discussionpapers/2007/dp2307.pdf D 5893 Reuter, Joachim 2010 Wer verdient wieviel?

A current study conducted by the DIW Berlin (German Institute for Economic Research) challenges this view. The study demonstrates that men and women are equally likely to take a chance on risky investments - assuming that they have the same financial resources at their disposal. A general cliché may not longer be true: that sex is a determinant factor in investment decisions and that the difference in attitudes toward investment between men and women is a result of gender-based investment attitudes. Women are likely to have cautious investment habits because - as a rule - they have only half the investment resources available that men have at their disposal. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.345354.de/diw_wr_2010-01.pdf SOEP GB 5891 Thiel, Hendrik and Thomsen, Stephan L. 2009 Noncognitive Skills in Economics: Models, Measurement and Empirical Evidence ZEW Discussion Paper No. 09-076 Mannheim Centre for European Economic Research Report citation of SOEP results 30 Discussion Paper noncognitive skills, personality, human capital formation, psychometric measures There is an increasing economic literature considering personality. This paper provides an overview on the role of these skills regarding three main aspects of economic analysis: measurement, theoretical modeling, and empirical estimates. Based on the relevant literature from different disciplines, the common psychometric measures used to assess personality are discussed. A recently proposed theoretical framework of human capital production takes personality explicitly into account. It is reviewed to clarify the understanding of crucial features of skill development. Based on these foundations, the main results of the empirical literature regarding noncognitive skills are classified along the research questions and summarized. ftp://ftp.zew.de/pub/zew-docs/dp/dp09076.pdf GB 5890 Frick, Joachim R. and Grabka, Markus M. 2009 Erstellung und Analyse einer konsistenten Vermögensverteilungsrechnung für Personen und Haushalte 2002 und 2007 unter Berücksichtigung der personellen Einkommensverteilung - Abschlussbericht für die Hans-Böckler-Stiftung Berlin DIW Berlin Report cross-sectional 34 DIW Gutachten income and poverty, methods SOEP D 5889 Körner, Thomas and Puch, Katharina 2009 Der Mikrozensus im Kontext anderer Arbeitsmarktstatistiken - Ergebnisunterschiede und ihre Hintergründe Wirtschaft und Statistik 6 528-552 Journal Article mentions of the SOEP study 04 Other Journal Die Arbeitsmarktberichterstattung des Statistischen Bundesamtes bedient sich einer Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Datenquellen.

Our objective is to identify differences in real wage growth for various occupational classes. The theoretical foundation of the article is based on economic as well as sociological concepts. With regard to recent findings of labor economists, one could postulate that market forces driven by technological changes and the corresponding growth in the relative demand for highly-skilled labor have led to an increase in wage inequality (skill-biased technological change, SBTC). In contrast, a structural theory approach, based on the work of Aage B. Sørensen, would argue that increasing wage inequality is due to changes in the extent to which certain labor market groups are able to generate rents. For the empirical analysis, data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP) and data from the BIBB/IAB-Survey are used. Our results show that people in lower occupational classes belong to the losers of the general income dynamics in Germany between 1998 and 2006. Moreover, the inclusion of a broad variety of characteristics of the occupational position reveals that the growth of wage inequality in Germany can be explained by skill-biased technological changes, but also by changes in rent generating processes.

The article gives an analysis of the extent to which citizens of Germany support the idea of open access to the German labor market for all Europeans. The empirical basis for the analysis is a representative survey conducted in Germany in 2006. The descriptive findings show that the majority accepts the idea that European foreigners should have equal access to the German labor market, although the support rate varies with the country of origin and the level of qualification of a foreign employee. As the high support rate on the aggregate level might conceal cleavages between supporters and opponents, we have tested whether social structural characteristics and the respondent’s interest have an impact on his attitudes towards a Europeanized labor market. The results show that this is only slightly the case. Hence, one can expect that the opening up of the borders of the national labor market will not lead to political conflicts.

Der in der ökonomischen Literatur dominierenden These des „skill-biased technological change“, die vor allem eine zunehmende Bedeutung von Qualifikationen im Rahmen der Einkommensgenerierung für die steigende Einkommensungleichheit verantwortlich macht, wird die in der soziologischen Literatur präferierte Schließungstheorie gegenübergestellt, die die Ursachen dieser Entwicklung in institutionellen Veränderungen, Klassenkonflikten und Diskriminierungsmechanismen sieht. Analysen auf Basis der „Gehalts- und Lohnstrukturerhebung“ zeigen, dass beide Faktorengruppen zur Ungleichheitszunahme beitragen, wobei Schließungsmechanismen insbesondere in den alten Bundesländern stärker hervortreten. Eine wachsende Bedeutung qualifikationsbezogener Faktoren ist vor allem in den neuen Bundesländern zu beobachten. This article examines which factors contribute towards the increase in the income inequality that can be observed in Germany since the 1990’s. While economists believe that the qualification of employees is becoming more and more important for the generation of income inequality, sociologists conceive social closure, implemented in institutional structures, class conflicts and mechanisms of discrimination, as responsible for rising inequality. Analyses of “Gehalts- und Lohnstrukturerhebung”-data show that closure mechanisms are especially important in West Germany, while qualification-related factors enhance inequality in East Germany.

We find that automatic stabilizers absorb 38 per cent of a proportional income shock in the EU, compared to 32 per cent in the US. In the case of an unemployment shock 48 per cent of the shock are absorbed in the EU, compared to 34 per cent in the US. This cushioning of disposable income leads to a demand stabilization of 23 to 32 per cent in the EU and 19 per cent in the US. There is large heterogeneity within the EU. Automatic stabilizers in Eastern and Southern Europe are much lower than in Central and Northern European countries. We also investigate whether countries with weak automatic stabilizers have enacted larger fiscal stimulus programs. We find no evidence supporting this view. http://www.nber.org/papers/w16275 EUROMOD GB 5883 Sologon, Denisa Maria and O'Donoghue, Cathal 2009 Equalizing or Disequalizing Lifetime Earnings Differentials?

Bonn: Institute for the Study of Labor Report longitudinal 31 DIW Discussion Paper income and poverty, international comparison, econometrics panel data, wage distribution, inequality, mobility Do EU citizens have an increased opportunity to improve their position in the distribution of lifetime earnings? To what extent does earnings mobility work to equalize/disequalize longerterm earnings relative to cross-sectional inequality and how does it differ across the EU? Our basic assumption is that mobility measured over a horizon of 8 years is a good proxy for lifetime mobility. We used the Shorrocks (1978) and the Fields (2008) index. Moreover, we explored the impact of differentials attrition on the two indices. The Fields index is affected to a larger extent by differential attrition than the Shorrocks index, but the overall conclusions are not altered. Based on the Shorrocks (1978) index men across EU have an increasing mobility in the distribution of lifetime earnings as they advance in their career. Based on the Fields index (2008) the equalizing impact of mobility increases over the lifetime in all countries, except Portugal, where it turns negative for long horizons. Thus, Portugal is the only country where mobility acts as a disequalizer of lifetime differentials. The highest lifetime mobility is recorded in Denmark, followed by UK, Belgium, Greece, Ireland, Netherlands, Italy, France, Spain, Germany, and the lowest, Portugal. The highest mobility as equalizer of longer term inequality is recorded in Ireland and Denmark, followed by France and Belgium with similar values, then UK, Greece, Netherlands, Germany, Spain and Italy. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.345196.de/diw_sp0251.pdf SOEP GB 5882 Fietze, Simon, Holst, Elke and Tobsch, Verena 2009 Personality and Career - She's got what it takes SOEPpapers 250 Berlin DIW Berlin Report cross-sectional 31 DIW Discussion Paper labour, gender, subjective indicators personality, gender, career, leadership "The female share in management positions is quite low in Germany. The higher the hierarchical level, the fewer women there are in such positions. Men have numerous role models to follow whereas women lack this opportunity: In the executive boards of the top 200 private companies in Germany, only 2.5 percent of members are female. Many studies have focused on the influence of human capital and other ""objective"" factors on career opportunities. In our study, we go a step further by also looking at the impact of self-reported personality traits on gender differences in career chances. We compare managers and other white-collar employees in Germany's private sector. While bivariate results based on data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) in 2005 show that there are significant gender differences in personality traits, multivariate estimations clearly indicate that these differences cannot account for gender differences in career opportunities. Nevertheless, personality traits might indeed play a role, albeit more indirectly: Some of the stronger career effects, such as work experience, long working hours, and labour market segregation, can also reflect differences in personality traits. These might have been influenced at an early stage by a gender-biased environment. Our results strongly stress the need for a gender-neutral environment outside and inside companies in order to enforce equal career opportunities for women and men." http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.345192.de/diw_sp0250.pdf SOEP GB 5881 Paulus, Alari, ?ok, Mitja, Figari, Francesco, Hegedüs, Péter, Kump, Nataša, Lelkes, Orsolya, Levy, Horacio, Lietz, Christine, Lüpsik, Silja, Mantovani, Daniela, Morawski, Leszek, Sutherland, Holly, Szivos, Péter and Võrk, Andres 2009 The effects of taxes and benefits on income distribution in the enlarged EU EUROMOD Working Paper No. EM 8/09 Colchester University of Essex Report simulation 30 Discussion Paper transfer systems, income and poverty, international comparison European Union, Estonia, Hungary, Poland, Slovenia, income distribution, taxes, benefits Tax and benefit systems in the enlarged EU vary significantly in size and structure.

First, the determinants of deprivation are analysed by using fixed effects models for each country separately. Second a decomposition of the deprivation gaps between countries highlights the reasons for the differentials across Europe. The results show that changes in income and deprivation do not strictly coincide. In countries where deprivation is higher, income is more effective in reducing the deprivation differential but the family structure contributes to determine such a gap. http://www.iser.essex.ac.uk/publications/working-papers/iser/2009-34.pdf ECHP GB 5879 Constant, Amelie F., Nottmeyer, Olga and Zimmermann, Klaus F. 2009 Cultural Integration in Germany IZA DP No. 4675 Bonn Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) Report longitudinal 30 Discussion Paper Migration, Gender cultural integration, immigrants, Germany, ethnic origin, gender, generation This chapter investigates the integration processes of immigrants in Germany by comparing certain immigrant groups to natives differentiating by gender and immigrant generation. Indicators which are supposed to capture cultural integration of immigrants are differences in marital behavior as well as language abilities, ethnic identification and religious distribution. A special feature of the available data is information about overall life satisfaction, risk aversion and political interest. These indicators are also presented. All of these indicators are depicted in comparison between natives and immigrants differentiated by ethnic origin, gender and generation. This allows visualization of differences by ethnic groups and development over time. Statements about the cultural integration processes of immigrants are thus possible. Furthermore, economic integration in terms of female labor force participation is presented as an additional feature. Empirical findings suggest that differences among immigrants and between immigrants and Germans do exist and differ significantly by ethnic origin, gender and generation. But differences seem to diminish when we consider the second generations. This indicates greater adaptation to German norms and habits, and thus better cultural, socio-economic and political integration of second generation immigrants in Germany. http://ftp.iza.org/dp4675.pdf SOEP GB 5878 Caliendo, Marco, Tatsiramos, Konstantinos and Uhlendorff, Arne 2009 Benefit Duration, Unemployment Duration and Job Match Quality: A Regression-Discontinuity Approach IZA DP No. 4670 Bonn Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) Report mentions of the SOEP study 30 Discussion Paper Unemployment benefits, unemployment duration, employment probability, job match quality, regression discontinuity The generosity of the Unemployment Insurance system (UI) plays a central role for the job search behavior of unemployed individuals. Standard search theory predicts that an increase in UI benefit generosity, either in terms of benefit duration or entitlement, has a negative impact on the job search activities of the unemployed increasing their unemployment duration. Despite the disincentive effect of UI on unemployment duration, UI benefit generosity may also increase job match quality by allowing individuals to wait for better job offers. In this paper we use a sharp discontinuity in the maximum duration of unemployment benefits in Germany, which increases from 12 months to 18 months at the age of 45, to identify the effect of extended benefit duration on unemployment duration and post-unemployment outcomes. We find a spike in the re-employment hazard for the unemployed workers with 12 months benefit duration, which occurs around benefit exhaustion. This leads to lower unemployment duration compared to their counterparts with 18 months benefit duration. However, we also show that those unemployed who obtain jobs close to and after the time when benefits are exhausted are significantly more likely to exit subsequent employment and receive lower wages compared to their counterparts with extended benefit duration. http://ftp.iza.org/dp4670.pdf GB 5877 Constant, Amelie F., Kahanec, Martin, Rinne, Ulf and Zimmermann, Klaus F. 2009 Ethnicity, Job Search and Labor Market Reintegration of the Unemployed IZA DP No. 4660 Bonn Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) Report longitudinal 30 Discussion Paper labour, migration migration, ethnicity, ethnic identity, ethnosizer, unemployment, job search, reservation wages This paper is based on recently collected and rich survey data of a representative sample of entrants into unemployment in Germany.

To shed further light on the native-migrant differences in economic outcomes, we investigate the labor market reintegration, patterns of job search, and reservation wages across unemployed migrants and natives in Germany. Our results indicate that separated migrants have a relatively slow reintegration into the labor market. We explain this finding by arguing that this group exerts a relatively low search effort and that it has reservation wages which are moderate, yet still above the level which would imply similar employment probabilities as other groups of migrants. http://ftp.iza.org/dp4660.pdf GB 5876 Caliendo, Marco 2009 Income Support Systems, Labor Market Policies and Labor Supply: The German Experience IZA DP No. 4665 Bonn Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) Report mentions of the SOEP study 30 Discussion Paper unemployment, labor force participation. labor supply, benefit systems, public policy In view of the demographic trends, most EU countries face the problem of a declining work force in the future. Understanding the interaction between income support systems (such as unemployment benefits, social assistance, early retirement and pension systems) and total labor supply is of crucial importance to combat problems and ensure economic growth in the future. The German labor market has been plagued by high and persistent unemployment in the last two decades in combination with a relatively low labor force participation of women. This created a situation where labor market reforms were unavoidable. The speed and depth of the reforms are remarkable, mainly aimed at activating people by increasing their incentives to take up work. The aim of this paper is to give a brief overview of the German income support systems and labor market polices, their recent reforms and – where already possible – effects of these reforms. Overall, Germany seems to be on the right track. The recent reforms helped to tackle some labor market problems but also created high political unrest. It remains to be seen how future governments react to worsened economic conditions in light of these experiences. http://ftp.iza.org/dp4665.pdf GB 5875 Brunello, Giorgio, Fabbri, Daniele and Fort, Margherita 2010 Years of Schooling, Human Capital and the Body Mass Index of European Females SOEPpapers 262 Berlin DIW Berlin 2009: IZA DP No. 4667. Bonn: Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) Report cross-sectional 30 Discussion Paper Education, Health, International comparison obesity, human capital, Europe We use the compulsory school reforms implemented in European countries after the II World War to investigate the causal effect of education on the Body Mass Index (BMI) and the incidence of overweight and obesity among European females. Our IV estimates suggest that years of schooling have a protective effect on BMI. The size of the estimated effect is not negligible but smaller than the one found in comparable recent work for the US. We depart from the current empirical literature in three main directions. First, we use a multi-country approach. Second, we complement the standard analysis of the causal impact of years of schooling on BMI with one relying on a broader measure of education, i.e. individual standardized cognitive tests, and show that the current focus in the literature on years of schooling as the measure of education is not misplaced. Last, we evaluate whether the current focus on conditional mean effects should be integrated with an approach which allows for heterogeneous responses to changes in compulsory education. Although our evidence based on quantile regressions is mixed, there is some indication that the protective effect of schooling does not increase monotonically from the lower to the upper quantile of the distribution of BMI. Rather, the marginal effect is stronger among overweight (but not obese) females than among females with BMI above 30. http://ftp.iza.org/dp4667.pdf, http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.346465.de/diw_sp0262.pdf SOEP, SHARE, ECHP, BHPS GB 5874 Schmitt-Beck, Rüdiger 2009 Political Participation / National Election Study RatSWD Working Paper No. 123 Berlin Rat für Sozial- und WirtschaftsDaten (RatSWD) Report citation of SOEP results 30 Discussion Paper Political participation, political behaviour, elections, electoral behaviour, voting "The chapter gives an overview of recent developments within participation and electoral research, and discusses the current state of affairs with regard to data provision and access.

This expert report provides a comprehensive view of the current data situation, reveals existing gaps, and offers suggestions on how these gaps might be closed. The empirical material currently provided by existing data sources - the Federal Statistical Office, statistics from the CSOs themselves, as well as special data and surveys - only register this area separately and to a limited extent, and even then not in a consistent manner. With respect to both civil society organizations and forms of individual engagement there is an inadequate data situation. Questions that have arisen around whether CSOs will remain oriented toward civil society in a context of increased economic pressure on organizations cannot be answered. Similarly, it is nearly impossible to analyze whether civic engagement belies an increased tendency towards monetarization. Since civil society will undoubtedly continue to gain in political and social importance, the long-term task will be to set up a meaningful and a predominantly self-contained system of data collection and provision. This goal can be reached by following up on the existing surveys and databases described in this paper. http://www.ratswd.de/download/RatSWD_WP_2009/RatSWD_WP_92.pdf GB 5872 Jürges, Hendrik 2009 Provision for Old Age - National and International Survey Data to Support Research and Policy on Aging RatSWD Working Paper No. 94 Berlin Rat für Sozial- und WirtschaftsDaten (RatSWD) Report citation of SOEP results 30 Discussion Paper This report reviews recent trends in the collection of multidisciplinary and longitudinal data in the area of aging research, both in Germany and internationally.

Given the rich field of relevant research objectives and the substantial developments in migration theory it is apparent that the availability of a broad set of data including detailed information on various aspects of life is one of the key factors for ongoing progress in the analysis of internal migration development. Available official aggregated data are useful for descriptive structural analyses. But they are very limited in explaining causal relations. The same holds for crosssectional data. Some of the described longitudinal data sets consist of retrospective collected event history data that are not suitable for collecting essential information about attitudes and psychological states of the respondents over time. Several prospective longitudinal survey data do not represent essential aspects of internal migration. Data should at least include information on the place of residence (on the smallest possible spatial level), typologies about the characteristics of the place of residence, change of residence, reasons of a move, intentions to move, the dwelling and the neighbourhood as well as on commuting. http://www.ratswd.de/download/RatSWD_WP_2009/RatSWD_WP_97.pdf GB 5870 Haug, Sonja 2009 Migration and Statistics RatSWD Working Paper No. 101 Berlin Rat für Sozial- und WirtschaftsDaten (RatSWD) Report citation of SOEP results 30 Discussion Paper Population, Migration, Integration, Migration Background "The field of empirical migration and integration research is characterised by a wide range of research questions, theoretical approaches and data sets. Research based on official statistics has to deal with different data sets on migration and foreign population resulting in different numbers. Developments in official statistics concentrate on the improvement of data quality. The census 2010/2011 or the projected central population register are important issues, e.g. in respect of sampling and weighting of migrants in surveys. The concept of migration background in the microcensus is a mayor enhancement in population statistics and has become widely accepted. It is recommended to implement questions on migration background in the census 2010/2011 too. The most important accessible data sets in the field of empirical integration research are the microcensus and the German Socio-Economic Panel; there is still untapped potential for analysis in this area. The supplementation of large surveys with a migrant sample is an appreciated trend. Most important challenges for empirical migration and integration research are the development of sampling methods for migrant population (including onomastics and topomastics), studies on new and small migrant groups, research projects in the country of origin, longitudinal migrant surveys and the development of measurement instruments" http://www.ratswd.de/download/RatSWD_WP_2009/RatSWD_WP_101.pdf GB 5869 Huinink, Johannes 2009 Family RatSWD Working Paper No. 109 Berlin Rat für Sozial- und WirtschaftsDaten (RatSWD) Report citation of SOEP results 30 Discussion Paper family research, longitudinal data, family dynamics Family policy gained considerable relevance which is reflected by the current public attention to family issues. In regard to many recommendations of the KVI in 2001 improvements can be reported which family research profited from in a considerable way. However, pertaining to quality and content progress in data provision since the beginning of the 21st century was limited. Particularly, the availability of longitudinal data to study social and family related processes on different levels and regarding different dimensions of family development has to be extended. Data are needed not only to describe family change in an adequate way but also to model the structural and non-structural determinants and outcomes’ of couples' and family dynamics or family relationships over time – both retrospectively and prospectively. Therefore, additionally to an improved family related report system provided by the official statistics prospective panel studies collecting longitudinal (socio-)structural and non-structural information on the dynamics of individuals’ living arrangements over time are urgently needed. http://www.ratswd.de/download/RatSWD_WP_2009/RatSWD_WP_109.pdf GB 5868 Richter, Mathias 2009 Die Trägheit des Glücks - Ein Versuch, die Lebenszufriedenzeit der Deutschen zu messen Märkische Allgemeine, 16.

This development is often attributed to the remaining disincentives of the reformed social assistance to take up a low-paid full time job. Therefore, several proposals have been worked out to reduce these disincentives. In this paper we analyse an in-work benefit programme considered by the German government, which follows the proposal of Bofinger et al. (2006). We employ a microsimulation model for estimating labour supply as well as distributional and fiscal effects of this reform proposal. We provide ""morning after effects"", i.e. fiscal effects without considering behavioural adjustments, and long run effects, which take into account the labour supply response following the introduction of the reform. We predict the labour supply responses by estimating a discrete choice model for different household types and find a moderate increase in labour supply (103,000 full-time equivalents) as well as overall low negative participation effects. The distributional analysis reveals an overall increase in poverty rates caused by lower earnings disregards as well as substantial deadweight losses, since a large part of the in-work benefit accrues to households who do not belong to the working poor in the status quo."

This increase was rather unexpected and hence it is interesting to analyse whether the savings rate of the total population has increased or whether the increase in the aggregated savings rate has been due to the fact that the savings behaviour of certain socio-economic groups developed differently during the last decade. For this project data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) is used for the years 1995 to 2007. The analysis of household’s savings rates differentiated according to socio-economic characteristics shows, that the savings rates develop differently depending on the respective householder’s labour market status. The examination of savings rates of different age groups does not provide conclusive results. Finally, the increase in the aggregate savings rate is attributed alone to the changed savings behaviour of the households in the top quartile of the income distribution whereas the savings rates of the other quartiles tend to have declined. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.345190.de/diw_sp0249.pdf SOEP D 5861 Kindermann, Fabian 2009 Public versus Private Education with Risky Human Capital SOEPpapers 246 Berlin DIW Berlin Report longitudinal 35 Other DIW Publications education, family and networks public vs. private education, schooling choice, human capital investment, idiosyncratic uncertainty This paper studies the long-run macroeconomic, distributional and welfare effects of tuition policy and student loans. We therefore form a rich model of risky human capital investment based on the seminal work of Heckman, Lochner and Taber (1998). We extend their original model by variable labor supply, borrowing constraints, idiosyncratic wage risk, uncertain life-span, and multiple schooling decisions. This allows us to build a direct link between students and their parents and make the initial distribution of people over different socio-economic backgrounds endogenous. Our simulation indicate that privatization of tertiary education comes with a vast reduction in the number of students, an increase in the college wage premium and longrun welfare losses of around 5 percent. Surprisingly, we find that from privatization of tertiary education, students are better off compared to workers from other educational classes, since the college wage premium nearly doubles. In addition, our model predicts that income contingent loans on which students don’t have to pay interest, improve the college enrolment situation for agents from all kinds of backgrounds. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.344907.de/diw_sp0246.pdf SOEP GB 5860 Ziebarth, Nicolas R. and Karlsson, Martin 2009 The Effects of Expanding the Generosity of the Statutory Sickness Insurance System HEDG Working Paper 09/35 York University of York, Health, Econometrics and Data Group 2009: SOEPpapers 245.

We show that this reform has led to an increase in average absence days of about 10 percent or one additional day per employee, per year. The estimates are based on SOEP survey data and parametric, nonparametric, and combined matching-regression difference-in-differences methods. Extended calculations suggest that the reform might have increased labor costs by about €1.8 billion per year and might have led to the loss of around 50,000 jobs. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.344887.de/diw_sp0245.pdf, http://www.york.ac.uk/res/herc/documents/wp/09_35.pdf SOEP GB 5859 Ziebarth, Nicolas R. and Karlsson, Martin 2009 A Natural Experiment on Sick Pay Cuts, Sickness Absence, and Labor Costs HEDG Working Paper 09/34 York University of York, Health, Econometrics and Data Group 2009: SOEPpapers 244.

This measure increased the ratio of employees having no days of absence by about 7.5 percent. The mean number of absence days per year decreased by about 5 percent.

This comparison, not yet exploited, yields understanding of the role played by language and knowledge of social capital. We use the administrative dataset on dependent employment (WHIP), to estimate a fixed effect model of the weekly wages of males aged 18-45 with controls for selection in return migration and unobserved heterogeneity. The three groups of workers start their careers at the same wage level but, as experience increases, the wage profiles of foreigners and natives, both immigrants and locals, diverge. A positive selection in the returns prevails, so that the foreign workers with lower wages are the most likely to stay in Italy. Also an ""ethnic"" skill differential emerges and a negative status dependence for those entering at low wage level.

We find that a given debt burden creates much higher distress in Southern countries, France and Belgium, where fewer households have a mortgage outstanding relative to countries where a sizeable part of the population uses mortgage debt, like the UK, the Netherlands, and Denmark. This is the case after taking into account ppp-adjusted income levels, a rich set of socioeconomic characteristics, housing traits, country-specific constant terms, and household unobserved heterogeneity. We attribute part of this asymmetry to cross-country differences in the expansion of credit markets, which facilitate differential access to liquidity. Household's reported distress is also affected by excess indebtedness relative to the debt load of reference households, and crucially so in countries with less expanded mortgage markets. Thus it appears that households evaluate their own debt burden partly in comparison with the debt position of their peer group and in a way consistent with social stigma considerations which lessen in significance as markets expand. Households' assessment of a debt burden therefore tends to diminish in more expanded credit markets and this process can be reinforced by reference to other households in a growing pool of debt holders. http://ftp.iza.org/dp4631.pdf ECHP GB 5856 Goerke, Laszlo and Pannenberg, Markus 2010 An Economic Analysis of Dismissal Legislation: Determinants of Severance Pay in West Germany International Review of Law and Economics 30 1 71-85 2009: cege Discussion Paper 87.

We investigate the incidence and level of severance pay for dismissed employees. Our theoretical model predicts that not only the law and its interpretation by labour courts but also the costs of a suit have an impact. Using West German panel data for 1991-2006, we find that the employees' costs resulting from a suit and the legal determinants of such transfers affect the incidence of severance payments. In contrast, their level only varies with legal regulations. Our results imply that the strictness of EPL in Germany varies with extra-legal factors like employees' financial constraints. http://www.uni-goettingen.de/de/document/download/25eff019da4b85ef430d8259bb77813e.pdf/87_Goerke_Pannenberg.pdf SOEP GB 5855 Constant, Amelie F. and Zimmermann, Klaus F. 2009 Migration, Ethnicity and Economic Integration IZA DP No. 4620 Bonn Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) Report cross-sectional 30 Discussion Paper migration, labour ethnicity, ethnic identity, acculturation, migrant assimilation, migrant integration, work, cultural economics This chapter deals with the economic and ethnic diversity caused by international labor migration, and their economic integration possibilities. It brings together three strands of literature dealing with the neoclassical economic assimilation, ethnic identities and attitudes towards immigrants and the natives, and provides an analysis in understanding their interactions. The issue of how immigrants fare in the host country especially in terms of their labor force participation and remuneration has been the core of research in the labor migration literature. If immigrants fare as well as the natives, then they are economically assimilated. While some immigrant groups do, most do not, especially in Europe. Of equal importance is how immigrants identify with the culture of their home and receiving countries, and if natives and immigrants have the right attitudes about each other. Ethnic identities and attitudes seem to be less affected by the economic environment but have implications for economic performance. http://ftp.iza.org/dp4620.pdf SOEP GB 5854 Mosthaf, Alexander, Schank, Thorsten and Schnabel, Claus 2009 Low-Wage Employment versus Unemployment: Which One Provides Better Prospects for Women?

We estimate dynamic multinomial logit models with random effects and find that having a low-wage job increases the probability of being low-paid and decreases the chances of being high-paid in the future, in particular for low-paid women working part-time. However, concerning future wage prospects low-paid women are clearly better off than unemployed or inactive women. We argue that for women low-wage jobs can serve as stepping stones out of unemployment and are to be preferred to staying unemployed and waiting for a better job. http://ftp.iza.org/dp4611.pdf SOEP GB 5853 Puhani, Patrick A. and Sonderhof, Katja 2010 The Effects of a Sick Pay Reform on Absence and on Health-Related Outcomes Journal of Health Economics 29 2 285-302 2009: SOEPpapers 248.

Unlike previous literature, apart from absence from work, we also consider effects on doctor/hospital visits and subjective health indicators. We also add to the literature by estimating both switch-on and switch-off effects, because the reform was repealed two years later. We find a two-day reduction in the number of days of absence. Quantile regression reveals higher point estimates (both in absolute and relative terms) at higher quantiles, meaning that the reform predominantly reduced long durations of absence. In terms of health, the reform reduced the average number of days spent in hospital by almost half a day, but we cannot find robust evidence for negative effects on health outcomes or perceived liquidity constraints. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.345166.de/diw_sp0248.pdf SOEP GB 5852 Wagner, Joachim 2009 Offshoring and Firm Performance: Self-Selection, Effects on Performance, or Both? IZA DP No. 4605 Bonn Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) Report citation of SOEP results 30 Discussion Paper offshoring, Germany, enterprise panel data "This paper uses unique new data for German manufacturing enterprises from matched regular surveys and a special purpose survey to investigate the causal effect of relocation of activities to a foreign country on various dimensions of firm performance. Enterprises that relocated activities abroad in the period 2001-03 for the first time are compared to firms that did not relocate activities abroad before 2006. The comparison is performed for both 2004 (to document differences between the two groups of firms after some of them started to relocate abroad) and for 2000 (when none of them did relocate abroad). It turns out that, compared to non-offshoring firms, firms that relocated activities were larger and more productive, and had a higher share of exports in total sales. All these differences existed in 2000, the year before some firms started to relocate, and this points to self-selection of ""better"" firms into offshoring. This finding is in line with results from recent theoretical models and with results from other countries. To investigate the causal effects of relocation across borders on firm performance, six different variants of a matching approach of firms that did and did not start to relocate abroad in 2001-03 were performed based on a propensity score estimated using firm characteristics in 2000 and the change in the performance variable between 1997 and 2000. The performance of both groups was compared for 2004-06 when some firms were relocating firms and the others were not. Broadly in line with hypotheses derived from the literature there is no evidence that offshoring has a negative causal impact on employment in offshoring firms. The effect is positive and large for productivity, and weak evidence for a positive effect on the wage per employee, the proxy variable for human capital intensity used, is found. Contrary to what is often argued, therefore, we find no evidence for a negative causal effect of offshoring on employment in Germany or on other core dimensions of firm performance.

However, both longitudinal and interdisciplinary studies on the interplay between individuals’ learning potential and educational attainment are rare, as are analyses of life course consequences of underachievement. This psychological, sociological, and economic longitudinal study aims to contribute to our knowledge of social disparities in the processes of discovering youths’ learning potential—and its development—in families, schools, and vocational training markets. We are less interested in replicating well-researched variations in the achievement-ability-relationship between social classes. Instead, we focus on within-group differences, both during schooling (within social classes) and during transitions from school to vocational training and labor markets (within educational groups). Such intra-group differences would reveal whether underachievement of children from lower-class and higher-class families is generated by similar or different mechanisms, and whether the mechanisms common to all social classes differ in strength in generating underachievement. Our unique data collection would allow us to investigate intra-group variance, even the crucial relationships between achievement, ability, and personality. In addition, a novel decomposition of family background will be coupled with a multidimensional life course approach examining interaction between youth and their siblings, partners, and parents. www.sofi-goettingen.de/index.php?id=583&no_cache=1&tx_drblob_pi1%5BdownloadUid%5D=626 SOEP GB 5850 Wagner, Gert G. 2009 Nicht nur mit Ökonomen ist Staat zu machen Wochenbericht des DIW Berlin Berlin 76 49 870 Journal Article mentions of the SOEP study 05 DIW Weekly Report http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.344220.de/09-49-5.pdf D 5849 McLeod, Christopher Bruce 2009 Unemployment and health in context and comparison: a study of Canada, Germany and the United States of America (Thesis) Vancouver University of British Columbia, The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Health Care and Epidemiology) Report cross-sectional 33 Other Grey Literature health, international comparison, labour This thesis explores how societal-level factors influence the relationship between unemployment and health. Using the Varieties of Capitalism (VOC) framework, hypotheses are developed that specify how this relationship may vary across high-income countries. Economies of high-income countries are grouped into coordinated market (CMEs) and liberal market (LMEs) economies that have different production specializations, but similar economic growth and aggregate levels of wealth and which are supported by different economic and labour market institutions. I hypothesize that these institutional differences give rise to different risks, types and durations of unemployment. After controlling for these differences, it is hypothesized that the higher levels of unemployment protection in CMEs will mediate the effect of unemployment on health compared to LMEs and that there will also be an interaction between skill level and unemployment and health. Two empirical studies are conducted to test these hypotheses using longitudinal micro-data from representative LME (Canada and the United States) and CME (Germany) countries. The first study examines the relationship between unemployment and mortality for Germany and the United States. The risk of death for the unemployed is higher in the United States compared to Germany, especially for the minimum- and medium-skilled unemployed. In Germany the risk of death for the unemployed is concentrated among East Germans. The second study examines the relationship between unemployment and self-reported health status for Canada, Germany and the United States. Across all countries unemployment is associated with poorer self-reported health status, but there is marked effect modification by educational status and by receipt of unemployment compensation. In particular, there is no association for the high-skilled unemployed in the United States, but for minimum- and medium-skilled unemployed those not receiving unemployment compensation have the highest risk of poorer self-reported health status. Policy makers should consider the effect on the health of the unemployed when designing programmes for the unemployed. Future research needs to examine the role that social programmes and in particular public transfers have in reducing health inequalities, not only among the unemployed, but also among workers in other work arrangements that may be harmful to their health. https://circle.ubc.ca/handle/2429/15969 SOEP, CNEF, PSID, SLID GB 5848 Guven, Cahit, Senik, Claudia and Stichnoth, Holger 2009 You Can’t Be Happier than Your Wife: Happiness Gaps and Divorce SOEPpapers 261 Berlin DIW Berlin "2009: IZA DP No. 4599. Bonn: Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) and Deakin University Economic Series School Working Paper 2009/19. Burwood: Deakin University ; 2010: ZEW Discussion Paper No.10-007. Mannheim: Centre for European Economic Research, " Report longitudinal 30 Discussion Paper family and networks, international comparison, subjective indicators divorce, happiness, comparisons, panel, households, marriage This paper asks whether the gap in subjective happiness between spouses matters per se, i.e. whether it predicts divorce. We use three panel databases to explore this question. Controlling for the level of life satisfaction of spouses, we find that a higher satisfaction gap, even in the first year of marriage, increases the likelihood of a future separation. We interpret this as the effect of comparisons of well-being between spouses, i.e. aversion to unequal sharing of well-being inside couples. To our knowledge, this effect has never been taken into account by existing economic models of the household. The relation between happiness gaps and divorce may be due to the fact that couples which are unable to transfer utility are more at risk than others. It may also be the case that assortative mating in terms of happiness baseline-level reduces the risk of separation. However, we show that assortative mating is not the end of the story. First, our results hold in fixed-effects estimates that take away the effect of the initial quality of the match between spouses: fixed-effects estimates suggest that a widening of the happiness gap over time raises the risk of separation. Second, we uncover an asymmetry in the effect of happiness gaps: couples are more likely to break-up when the difference in life satisfaction is unfavourable to the wife. The information available in the Australian survey reveals that divorces are indeed predominantly initiated by women, and importantly, by women who are unhappier than their husband. Hence, happiness gaps seem to matter to spouses, not only because they reflect a mismatch in terms of baseline happiness, but because they matter as such. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.346299.de/diw_sp0261.pdf SOEP GB 5847 Stegmann, Tim 2009 Migrationsbezogene Verbleibs- und Rückkehrabsichten im SOEP MPRA Paper 13240 Munich Munich Personal RePEc Archive Report cross-sectional 30 Discussion Paper migration Migrationsbezogene Verbleibs- und Rückkehrabsichten von Menschen spielen in der Integrations- und Migrationsforschung in verschiedenen Kontexten eine Rolle.

Mittels einer Sequenzmusteranalyse werden über einen Zeitraum von zehn Jahren die Erwerbsverläufe von 55-65-Jährigen quantifiziert und im Ost-West- wie auch im Geschlechtervergleich unterschiedliche Rentenübergangsmuster aufgezeigt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen ein hohes Ausmaß an Frühverrentungen und unterbrochenen Erwerbsverläufen. Insgesamt verbleibt die Hälfte der älteren Erwerbstätigen nicht bis zum regulären Rentenalter im Arbeitsmarkt. Die korrespondierenden Einkommensverläufe zeigen, dass diese erwerbsbiografische Inkonsistenz mit einer hohen Einkommensdynamik und überwiegend absteigenden Einkommensverläufen verbunden ist. Zudem kumulieren im Haushaltsverbund negative Einkommenslagen. Mit Blick auf die Anhebung der Regelaltersgrenze und die Absenkung des gesetzlichen Rentenniveaus bedeutet dies zunehmende Einkommensrisiken für zukünftige Rentnerkohorten. Somit besteht Handlungsbedarf im Hinblick auf eine Verstetigung und Verbesserung der Erwerbschancen in den Jahren vor dem Ruhestand, um prekäre Übergangsprozesse zu vermeiden und Altersarmut entgegenzuwirken.

Diesen Befunden setzen wir eine eigene Untersuchung entgegen, die an Beispielen von ostdeutschen Engagierten zeigt, dass Bürgerschaftliches Engagement gesamtbiografisch zur Überbrückung von Diskontinuitäten im Erwerbsverlauf dienen kann, vor allem bei Personen, die bereits frühzeitig in ihrer Biografie Engagement-Erfahrungen gemacht und darüber soziale Netzwerke in ihrem lokalen Umfeld aufgebaut haben.

According to data of the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP), 7% of all students now attend private school. The SOEP, which contains a range of household data, shows that the children of parents with a university entry degree (""Abitur"") are more likely to attend private school than those with less educated parents. This trend has become more pronounced in recent years: between 1997 and 2007, the percentage of students with better-educated parents attending private school increased by 77%. By contrast, the corresponding increase for students with less-educated parents was only 12%. Multivariate analyses demonstrate that increasing selection in favor of better-educated groups is particularly evident at the secondary school level. At the primary school level, full-time employment of the mother and regional factors significantly increase the chances of private school attendance. Educational policy should focus on preventing children from better-educated groups from leaving the public school system. If competition among schools is to be encouraged as a matter of policy, efforts should also be made to ensure less educated families consider sending their children to private schools." http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.342478.de/diw_wr_2009-29.pdf SOEP GB 5838 Haas, Sibylle 2009 Vermögen in Deutschland - Reich und sorgenfrei Süddeutsche Zeitung vom 27.

In particular, we are interested in studying whether people can adapt to disability over time after its onset. Using longitudinal data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP) for the period 1984–2006, we estimate life satisfaction equations using a fixed-effects model for working-age males (aged 21–58). The results show that disability has a significant negative effect on life satisfaction, but, in time, hedonic adaptation will return disabled males to life satisfaction levels registered by those who have not become disabled. These findings contribute to supporting the idea within psychology literature that individuals bounce back from painful events or adversities (such as the onset of disability) to achieve initial life satisfaction scores.

Women have both to a lower entry rate into selfemployment and a higher exit rate in Germany. To explain the gender gap, a structural microeconometric model of the transition rates is estimated, which includes a standard risk aversion parameter. As inputs into the model, the expected value and variance of earnings from self-employment and dependent employment are estimated separately by gender, accounting for non-random selection into the employment states. The gender differential in the transition rates is decomposed using a novel extension of the Blinder-Oaxaca technique for nonlinear models. Women's higher estimated risk aversion is found to explain the largest part of their higher exit rate, but only a small part of their lower entry rate. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.342272.de/dp936.pdf SOEP GB 5832 Wagner, Gert G. 2009 Trotz ökonomischer Erfolge: Die DDR wirkt nach Wochenbericht des DIW Berlin 76 47 830 Journal Article mentions of the SOEP study 05 DIW Weekly Report Migrants, Political behavior, SOEP http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.343352.de/09-47-4.pdf D 5831 Frick, Joachim R., Grabka, Markus M., Groh-Samberg, Olaf, Hertel, Florian R. and Tucci, Ingrid 2009 Alterssicherung von Personen mit Migrationshintergrund (Endbericht zum Auftrag des BMAS) Berlin DIW Berlin Report longitudinal 34 DIW Gutachten migration, transfer systems, miscellaneous SOEP D 5830 Hartmann, Michael 2009 Eliten, Macht und Reichtum in Europa Oesterreichische Nationalbank Dimensions of Inequality in the EU - Dimensionen der Ungleichheit in der EU (Proceedings of OeNB Workshops No. 16) Vienna Oesterreichische Nationalbank 190-211 Book Section citation of SOEP results 20 Book Section consumption / assets / habitation, international comparison http://www.oenb.at/de/img/ws_band_16_internet_tcm14-143471.pdf D 5829 Frick, Joachim R. and Grabka, Markus M. 2009 Erkenntnisse und Probleme der Vermögensforschung auf Basis von Surveydaten Oesterreichische Nationalbank Dimensions of Inequality in the EU - Dimensionen der Ungleichheit in der EU (Proceedings of OeNB Workshops No. 16) Vienna Oesterreichische Nationalbank 151-189 Book Section methodological 20 Book Section methods, consumption / assets / habitation http://www.oenb.at/de/img/ws_band_16_internet_tcm14-143471.pdf SOEP D 5828 Sachverständigenrat zur Begutachtung der gesamtwirtschaftlichen Entwicklung (Hrsg.) 2009 Die Zukunft nicht aufs Spiel setzen.

The paper contributes to the ongoing discussion of the relationship between life satisfaction and income. The panel property of the data makes it possible to study also the impact on satisfaction from income changes as well as the impact from acceleration in income and changes in labour market status on changes in satisfaction. A number of demographic variables and individual attitude indicators are also entered into the analysis of both the level of satisfaction and the change in satisfaction from one wave of the survey to the next. We find a strong impact from the level of income in all countries, an impact from change and acceleration in income for a smaller number of countries, a strong impact from most changes in labour market status and finally important effects from a number of demographic variables. http://ftp.iza.org/dp4538.pdf GB 5822 Bollard, Albert, McKenzie, David, Morten, Melanie and Rapoport, Hillel 2009 Remittances and the Brain Drain Revisited: The Microdata Show That More Educated Migrants Remit More IZA DP No. 4534 Bonn Forschungsinstitut zur Zukunft der Arbeit (IZA) Report citation of SOEP results 30 Discussion Paper remittances, migration, brain drain, education Two of the most salient trends surrounding the issue of migration and development over the last two decades are the large rise in remittances, and an increased flow of skilled migration. However, recent literature based on cross-country regressions has claimed that more educated migrants remit less, leading to concerns that further increases in skilled migration will hamper remittance growth. We revisit the relationship between education and remitting behavior using microdata from surveys of immigrants in eleven major destination countries. The data show a mixed pattern between education and the likelihood of remitting, and a strong positive relationship between education and the amount remitted conditional on remitting. Combining these intensive and extensive margins gives an overall positive effect of education on the amount remitted. The microdata then allow investigation as to why the more educated remit more. We find the higher income earned by migrants, rather than characteristics of their family situations explains much of the higher remittances. http://ftp.iza.org/dp4534.pdf GB 5821 Humpert, Stephan 2009 Kinder - ein Quell der Freude?!

That is based on psychological and economical reasons. The effect holds on for micro data of the GSOEP. The number of children affects an inverse u-shaped curve on happiness. Even an enlargement of the dataset with macroeconomic variables offers the same results. The effect disappears only after generating terms of interaction for catching some effects of macroeconomic uncertainty. Children turn to be positive. This result could be interpreted as consumption utility of children. Considering these factors, children might be a source of joy. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.342802.de/diw_sp0232.pdf SOEP D 5820 Brockmann, Hilke 2010 Why are middle-aged people so depressed?

The evidence is inconclusive. Some studies show happiness to increase with age (Diener et al. 1999; Argyle 2001). Others hold that the association is U-shaped with either highest depression rates (Mroczek and Christian, 1998; Blanchflower and Oswald, 2008) or highest happiness levels occurring during middle age (Easterlin, 2006). Current studies suffer from two shortcomings. Firstly, they do not control for three confounding time variables: age, period and cohort effects. Secondly, all empirical research lacks a theoretical explanation as to why age affects happiness. The purpose of our analysis is to contribute to closing both of these research gaps. A social investment model frames the dynamics of happiness across the life-span. The empirical test draws on West German panel data that followed individuals from 1984 to 2005. Descriptive analysis shows a cubic age function with the lowest level at middle age. However, hierarchical three-level variance component models (Rabe-Hesketh and Skrondal, 2005), find significant differences across pre-war and post-war cohorts, baby boomers and offspring of the baby bust as well as deviations during reunification. Yet, cohort and period effects account for less than 10% of the variance. (Un)happiness in midlife is more strongly determined by gender-specific occasional influences and individual characteristics. Both define objective and subjective returns of professional and personal life investments. These social investment decisions date back to early adulthood and bear a high risk of failure during midlife. Unforeseen consequences and long-term private and professional commitments make it costly to adjust, but at the same time new investments may pay off in a pro-longed future. This dilemma turns many middle-aged people into ""frustrated achievers""." http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.342911.de/diw_sp0233.pdf SOEP GB 5819 Fossen, Frank M. and Rostam-Afschar, Davud 2009 Precautionary and Entrepreneurial Saving – New Evidence from German Households SOEPpapers 240 Berlin DIW Berlin 2009: DIW Discussion Paper 920. Berlin: DIW Berlin Report longitudinal 31 DIW Discussion Paper Consumption / Assets / Habitation, Labour precautionary saving, precautionary wealth, entrepreneurship The well-documented positive correlation between income risk and wealth was interpreted as evidence for high amounts of precautionary wealth in various studies. However, the large estimates emerged from pooling non-entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs without controlling for heterogeneity. This paper provides evidence for Germany based on representative panel data including private wealth balance sheets. Entrepreneurs, who face high income risk, hold more wealth than employees, but it is shown that this is not due to precautionary motives. Entrepreneurs may rather save for old age, as they are usually not covered by statutory pension insurance. The analysis accounts for endogeneity of entrepreneurial choice. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.344134.de/diw_sp0240.pdf SOEP GB 5818 Leopold, Thomas and Schneider, Thorsten 2010 Schenkungen und Erbschaften im Lebenslauf.

Berlin: DIW Berlin Journal Article longitudinal 02 SSCI Journal Family and networks, Consumption / Assets / Habitation, transfer systems Bequests, gifts, transfers, intergenerational solidarity, duration analysis Gifts as intergenerational transfers inter vivos allow us to study the importance of life course events for the chances of receiving transfers. In Germany, gifts are highly private and leave more scope for decision-making than regulated bequests. Thus, gifts are better suited to test theories of family solidarity and transfer behavior. Our analysis focuses on larger transfers from parents and grandparents to their children and grandchildren. Bequests provide a comparative reference which highlights similarities and differences between transfers inter vivos and mortis causa. In our account, gift-giving is purposive action driven primarily by economic needs of the receivers, but also by immaterial aspects of family ties. We use event history models to study the effects of family events on the likelihood of initiating transfers. Chances of receiving large gifts increase in the first years after a marriage and also immediately after a divorce. These findings indicate, on the one hand, that transfers are triggered by economic need and thus support concepts of transfer behavior motivated by altruism or by norms of parental responsibility. On the other hand, these gifts express parental affection toward offspring families and the wish to strengthen kinship ties. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.342912.de/diw_sp0234.pdf SOEP D 5817 Frick, Joachim R. and Grimm, Steffi 2009 Wohnen in Deutschland nach dem Mauerfall: Eine Analyse für die Jahre 1990 bis 2008 auf Basis der Daten des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP) SOEPpapers 236 Berlin DIW Berlin Report longitudinal 35 Other DIW Publications Consumption / Assets / Habitation Im Fokus dieses Beitrags steht die empirische Untersuchung der Wohnsituation privater Haushalte in West- und Ostdeutschland seit dem Fall der Mauer 1989.

From a socio-economic viewpoint, failure in school, unemployment and the lack of an intimate relationship are among the most important ones. In our samples from SOEP youth questionnaires, approximately 13% of young people in Germany between the ages of 17 and 19 are disconnected. The percentage of disconnected youths has been on the rise since 2001. There is evidence that an adverse family background is the most important variable for being disconnected in young adulthood. Macroeconomic factors also contribute to disconnectedness. Recessions are followed by increases in the number of disconnected youth. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.355410.de/diw_sp0291.pdf SOEP GB 5814 Meng, Annika 2009 Informal Home Care and Labor Force Participation of Household Members Ruhr Economic Papers #152 Bochum, Dortmund, Duisburg, Essen Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Department of Economics, Technische Universität Dortmund, Department of Economics and Social Sciences, Universität Duisburg-Essen, Department of Economics and Rheinisch-Westfälisches Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung (RWI) Report longitudinal 30 Discussion Paper family and networks, health, labour Informal care, labor supply, endogeneity In Germany, informal home care is preferred to professional care services in the public discussion as well as in legal care regulations. However, they ascribe only minor importance to the opportunity costs care givers have to face. Therefore, this paper explores the influence home care has on the labor supply of carers who live together with their care recipient. I am using the German Socio-Economic Panel of the years 2001 to 2007 which allows the characteristics of both groups to be merged. Furthermore, I look at female and male care givers separately. The results show that having an individual in need of care in the household does not decrease labor supply to an economically relevant extent. As caring and the labor supply decision might be endogenous, I test for endogeneity by using characteristics of care recipients as instruments and I look at sample attrition. In addition, the panel structure allows to control for unobserved heterogeneity, which is probably strong for care. http://www.rwi-essen.de/media/content/pages/publikationen/ruhr-economic-papers/REP_09_152.pdf SOEP GB 5812 Freitag, Markus and Traunmüller, Richard 2009 Spheres of trust: An empirical analysis of the foundations of particularised and generalised trust European Journal of Political Research 48 6 782-803 10.1111/j.1475-6765.2009.00849.x Journal Article 02 SSCI Journal subjective indicators SOCIAL TRUST, POLITICAL-INSTITUTIONS, STATE While the literature on trust has produced various conceptual models, there is also some confusion concerning different types of trust and their formation. In this article, three contested points are empirically clarified. First, are there really different forms of trust as much of the literature suggests? Second, if so, then how are these different types of trust related to each other? Third, what are the foundations of these different forms of trust? Relying on data from the German Socio-Economic Panel, it is concluded that two types of trust can be empirically identified: an intimate trust in people close to the truster, as well as an abstract trust in people in general. Although these types of trust constitute separate dimensions, they are positively related to each other. Furthermore, this article challenges the widely held assumption that experiences are most relevant for particularised trust, while generalised trust is based on psychological predispositions. It is argued instead for a sphere-specific logic of trust formation: It is the radius of experiences and predispositions that matters for the radius of trust. Finally, the analysis goes beyond the existing research by highlighting hitherto unknown conditions under which trust in familiar domains is more or less likely to extend to generalised trust.

We base our analysis on a sorting model with productivity enhancing effects of education. We compare whether the signalling value differs between the migrants and non-migrants in the German labour market. Starting from the theoretical result that only a separating equilibrium can exist, we find substantial empirical differences between Ethnic and Native Germans with the same formal education level. This empirical analysis is done with a completely new dataset based on administrative data from the German Federal Employment Agency. http://www.cesifo.de/DocCIDL/cesifo1_wp2683.pdf GB 5810 Schäfers, Bernhard 2009 Implementation of Funding for the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP)— A personal recollection SOEPpapers 231 Berlin DIW Berlin Report other 35 Other DIW Publications miscellaneous SOEP, German Research Foundation (DFG), Microanalytical Foundations of Social Policy The SOEP success story was not conceivable at its inception.

For this reason we develop a dynamic general equilibrium model with both genders which takes into account changes of the marital status as a stochastic process. Individuals respond to these shocks by adjusting savings and labor supply. Our quantitative results indicate that the declining number of marriages coupled with increasing divorce rates had a profound effect on macroeconomic variables and long-run welfare. We find a significant increase in aggregate capital accumulation and a rising labor market participation of women. In addition, our simulations indicate that the change in the marital structure had significant negative welfare consequences for women who lost between 0.4 and 2.2 percent of aggregate resources. The impact on men’s welfare, however, could be positive or negative depending on the specific calibration. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.342505.de/diw_sp0226.pdf SOEP GB 5802 Badunenko, Oleg, Barasinska, Nataliya and Schäfer, Dorothea 2009 Risk Attitudes and Investment Decisions across European Countries.

Berlin: DIW Berlin Report cross-sectional 31 DIW Discussion Paper gender, subjective indicators, international comparison Gender, risk aversion, financial behavior This study questions the popular stereotype that women are more risk averse than men in their financial investment decisions. The analysis is based on micro-level data from large-scale surveys of private households in five European countries. In our analysis of investment decisions, we directly account for individuals’ self-perceivedwillingness to take financial risks. The empirical evidence we provide only weakly supports the gender differences argument. We find that women are less likely to invest in risky financial assets. However, when the probability of investing is controlled for, males and females are found to allocate equal shares of their wealth to risky assets. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.342080.de/diw_sp0224.pdf SOEP GB 5801 Böhmer, Michael and Matuschke, Markus 2009 Empirische Analysen mit dem Prognos Mikrosimulationsmodell Prognos Trendletter 20 1 19 Magazine Article mentions of the SOEP study 62 Professional Newsletter transfer systems, income and poverty http://www.prognos.com/fileadmin/pdf/publikationen/trendletter/trendletter_1_09.pdf D 5800 Clark, Andrew E. 2009 Work, Jobs and Well-being across the Millennium OECD Social, Employment and Migration Working Papers No. 83 Paris OECD Report longitudinal 30 Discussion Paper "This paper uses repeated cross-section data ISSP data from 1989, 1997 and 2005 to consider movements in job quality. It is first underlined that not having a job when you want one is a major source of low well-being. Second, job values have remained fairly stable over time, although workers seem to give increasing importance to the more “social” aspects of jobs: useful and helpful jobs. The central finding of the paper is that, following a substantial fall between 1989 and 1997, subjective measures of job quality have mostly bounced back between 1997 and 2005. Overall job satisfaction is higher in 2005 than it was in 1989. Last, the rate of self-employment has been falling gently in ISSP data; even so three to four times as many people say they would prefer to be self-employed than are actually self-employed. As the self-employed are more satisfied than are employees, one consistent interpretation of the above is that the barriers to self-employment have grown in recent years." http://www.olis.oecd.org/olis/2009doc.nsf/LinkTo/NT00000F0E/$FILE/JT03261672.PDF GB 5799 Fitzenberger, Bernd, Hübler, Olaf and Kraft, Kornelius 2009 Arbeitsökonomische Forschung: Theoretisch und empirisch fundiert, ergebnisoffen – eine Replik auf „Die Mär vom starren deutschen Arbeitsmarkt“ Zeitschrift für ArbeitsmarktForschung (ZAF) 42 1 99-106 10.1007/s12651-009-0012-z Journal Article citation of SOEP results 03 Refereed Journal "Arbeitsmarkt - Flexibilität; Flexibilitätsforschung; Arbeitsmarktforschung; Arbeitsökonomie; Forschungsansatz " In his article “The tale of the inflexible German labour market” (“Die Mär vom starren deutschen Arbeitsmarkt”) in this issue of the Journal for Labour Market Research (ZAF) Werner Sengenberger criticises our introductory paper “Potentials for flexibility in heterogeneous labour markets – an introduction”, which was published in issue 2/3 of the ZAF in 2008 (Fitzenberger et al. 2008). In this reply, we comment on the accusations expressed. Our introductory paper was written as an introduction to the research programme ``Flexibility in Heterogeneous Labour Markets”, which has been funded by the DFG since 2004, and refers explicitly to the status of literature on labour economics prior to 2003. This explains some of the misunderstandings and errors in Sengenberger's reception of our paper. We reject the accusations of theoretical bias and a lack of knowledge of the literature. The reply explains key developments in labour economics research and emphasises their lack of bias and preconceived conclusions.

Following a wave of residential suburbanization and of heavy residential construction, as well as refurbishments in the new Länder during the second half of the 1990s, mobility rates strongly increased in East Germany. After 2000, both parts of the united country seem to be characterized by a new process of regional redistribution of the population in favor of core cities leading to reurbanization. Therefore, it could be expected that there was an adjustment of mobility processes in the east in line with corresponding Western processes, and that former East-West differences are no longer relevant. This first general hypothesis refers to path dependencies in recent mobility processes. Some differences in residential mobility can still be expected to result from past and current differences in housing stock and housing construction. These research questions are tested using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP). The results show that former differences in mobility rates disappeared during the late 1990s, and that it was possible to observe tendencies towards convergence for motivational structures. Similar results were obtained for a recent trend of reurbanization because a shift towards more urban forms of housing and neighbourhoods can be observed in both East and West Germany. Nevertheless, even if the average patterns are similar, regional and socio-economic disparities seem to be wider in East Germany. Mobility rates according to settlement structure are therefore much more pronounced, and the influence of income on residential mobility, is higher in the new Länder.

Bonn: Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) Report simulation 31 DIW Discussion Paper Family and networks, Labour, Transfer systems Employment, fertility, financial incentives In this paper we develop a structural model of female employment and fertility which accounts for intertemporal feedback effects between the two outcomes. We identify the effect of financial incentives on the employment and fertility decision by exploiting variation in the tax and transfer system which differs by employment state and number of children. To this end we simulate in detail the effects of the tax and transfer system including child care costs. The model provides estimates of structural preferences of women which can be used to study the effect of various policy reforms. In particular, we show that increasing child care subsidies conditional on employment increases labor supply of all women as well as fertility of the childless and highly educated women. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.342348.de/dp935.pdf http://ftp.iza.org/dp4503.pdf SOEP GB 5795 Fossen, Frank M. and Glocker, Daniela 2009 Expected Future Earnings, Taxation, and University Enrollment: A Microeconometric Model with Uncertainty DIW Discussion Paper No. 934 Berlin DIW Berlin 2009: SOEPpapers No. 241 Report simulation 31 DIW Discussion Paper Income and poverty, education, econometrics, transfer systems University Enrollment, Income Taxation, Flat Tax, Income Risk, Risk Aversion Taxation changes the expectations of prospective university students about their future level and uncertainty of after-tax income. To estimate the impact of taxes on university enrollment, we develop and estimate a structural microeconometric model, in which a high-school graduate decides to enter university studies if expected lifetime utility from this choice is greater than that anticipated from starting to work right away. We estimate the ex-ante future paths of the expectation and variance of net income for German high-school graduates, using only information available to those graduates at the time of the enrollment decision, accounting for multiple nonrandom selection and employing a microsimulation model to account for taxation. In addition to income uncertainty, the enrollment model takes into account university dropout and unemployment risks, as well as potential credit constraints. The estimation results are consistent with expectations. First, higher risk-adjusted returns to an academic education increase the probability of university enrollment. Second, high-school graduates are moderately risk averse, as indicated by the Arrow-Pratt coefficient of risk aversion estimated within the model. Thus, higher uncertainty among academics decreases enrollment rates. A simulation based on the estimated structural model indicates that a revenue-neutral, flat-rate tax reform with an unchanged basic tax allowance would increase enrollment rates for men in Germany because of the higher expected net income in the higher income range. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.342277.de/dp934.pdf SOEP GB 5794 Becchetti, Leonardo, Giachin Ricca, Elena and Pelloni, Alessandra 2009 Children, happiness and taxation SOEPpapers 230 Berlin DIW Berlin 2009: EconomEtica WP 12. Milan: Milano-Bicocca University Report cross-sectional 35 Other DIW Publications Income and poverty, family and networks, subjective indicators equivalised income, scale elasticities, life satisfaction Empirical analyses on the determinants of life satisfaction often include the impact of the number of children variable among available controls without fully discriminating between the two (socio- relational and pecuniary) components. In our empirical analysis on the German Socioeconomic Panel we show that, when introducing household income without correction for the number of members, the pecuniary effect prevails and the sign is negative while, when we equivalise income with the most commonly adopted equivalence scales, the non pecuniary (socio-relational) effect emerges and the impact of the variable is positive and significant above a minimal scale elasticity threshold. We further reject slope homogeneity and show that the positive relational effect is stronger for males, below median income households and East Germans. We interpret these subsample split results as driven by heterogeneous opportunity costs. Our empirical results give rise to a paradox: why people have children if the aggregate effect on life satisfaction is negative? We provide in the paper some interpretations consistent with our findings. Some of them are based on motivational complexity. This implies that demographic policies and the paradox are strictly connected. Effectiveness of tax/subsidies impacting on fertility crucially depends on whether the children paradox may be solved within the self-interested rationality paradigm. http://econometica.it/wp/wp12.pdf, http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.342799.de/diw_sp0230.pdf SOEP GB 5793 Lott, Yvonne 2009 Verwaltung und Entscheidung – Bestimmt das individuelle Einkommen die Machtverteilung in Paarbeziehungen?

According to the social exchange theory, the resource theory and the cooperative-bargaining-model, power is generated by individual resources – most notably the income. This study examines the influence of the individual income, as well as the household income and of children on power within heterosexual marriages and cohabitations in Germany. Power, defined as implementing power and orchestration power, is measured through money management and decision-making. The study is based on the German Socio-Economic Panel Study in 2005. Descriptive analysis and multinomial logistic regression models reveal that women’s power disadvantages exist independently from their income. In addition, gender ideologies underlie the power allocation within partnerships. Money is not an objective resource, which provides power to women and men equally. In future research, the role of individual norms and values on power within couples has to be further explored. Therefore, theoretical approaches other than rational-choice theories have to be developed.

We focus on the effect of homogamy with respect to education and church attendance. Gary Becker's theory of marriage predicts that usually, positive assortative mating is optimal. Our results, however, suggest that homogamy per se does not increase marital stability but higher education and religiousness. http://ftp.iza.org/dp4491.pdf SOEP GB 5791 Wunder, Christoph and Schwarze, Johannes 2009 Is Posner Right?

His argument is based on the assumption that women's utility is higher if they are married. Thus, extending the lifespan of men would benefit women. Using life satisfaction data from the German Socio-Economic Panel Study (SOEP), we conduct an empirical test of this assumption. We apply a two-step estimation strategy: first, we use a propensity score matching approach to generate a control group of non-widowed women. The average level of life satisfaction in the control group serves as a reference to measure the degree of adaptation to widowhood. In the second step, the life satisfaction trajectories of both groups are estimated using penalized spline regressions. The results suggest bereavement has no enduring effect on life satisfaction, and that falsifies Posner's assumption. http://ftp.iza.org/dp4485.pdf SOEP GB 5790 Frey, Bruno S., Luechinger, Simon and Stutzer, Alois 2009 The Life Satisfaction Approach to Environmental Valuation IZA DP No. 4478 Bonn Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) Report mentions of the SOEP study 30 Discussion Paper subjective indicators life satisfaction approach, subjective well-being, non-market valuation, cost-benefit analysis, air pollution In many countries environmental policies and regulations are implemented to improve environmental quality and thus individuals' well-being. However, how do individuals value the environment? In this paper, we review the Life Satisfaction Approach (LSA) representing a new non-market valuation technique. The LSA builds on the recent development of subjective well-being research in economics and takes measures of reported life satisfaction as an empirical approximation to individual welfare. Micro-econometric life satisfaction functions are estimated taking into account environmental conditions along with income and other covariates. The estimated coefficients for the environmental good and income can then be used to calculate the implicit willingness-to-pay for the environmental good. http://ftp.iza.org/dp4478.pdf GB 5789 Hartog, Joop 2009 A Risk Augmented Mincer Earnings Equation?

This paper provides causal evidence on long-term consequences of large-scale physical destruction on the educational attainment, health status and labor market outcomes of German children. I combine a unique dataset on city-level destruction in Germany caused by Allied Air Forces bombing during WWII with individual survey data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP). My identification strategy exploits the plausibly exogenous city-by-cohort variation in the intensity of WWII destruction as a unique quasi-experiment. My findings suggest significant, long-lasting detrimental effects on the human capital formation, health and labor market outcomes of Germans who were at school-age during WWII. First, these children had 0.4 fewer years of schooling on average in adulthood, with those in the most hard-hit cities completing 1.2 fewer years. Second, these children were about half inches (one centimeter) shorter and had lower self-reported health satisfaction in adulthood. Third, their future labor market earnings decreased by 6% on average due to exposure to wartime physical destruction. These results survive using alternative samples and specifications, including controlling for migration. Moreover, a control experiment using older cohorts who were not school-aged during WWII reveals no significant city-specific cohort trends. An important channel for the effect of destruction on educational attainment appears to be the destruction of schools and the absence of teachers, whereas malnutrition and destruction of health facilities during WWII seem to be important for the estimated impact on health. http://ftp.iza.org/dp4407.pdf SOEP GB 5787 Bayer, Christian and Juessen, Falko 2009 The Life-Cycle and the Business-Cycle of Wage Risk: A Cross-Country Comparison IZA DP No. 4402 Bonn Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) Report cross-sectional 30 Discussion Paper labour, income and poverty, international comparison life-cycle risk, uncertainty fluctuations, business cycle, heterogeneity, wages This paper provides a cross-country comparison of life-cycle and business-cycle fluctuations in the dispersion of household-level wage innovations. We draw our inference from household panel data sets for the US, the UK, and Germany. First, we find that household characteristics explain about 25% of the dispersion in wages within an age group in all three countries. Second, the cross-sectional variance of wages is almost linearly increasing in household age in all three countries, but with increments being smaller in the European data. Third, we find that wage risk is procyclical in Germany while it is countercyclical in the US and acyclical in the UK, pointing towards labor market institutions being pivotal in determining the cyclical properties of labor market risk. http://ftp.iza.org/dp4402.pdf SOEP GB 5786 Buurman, Margaretha, Dur, Robert and Van den Bossche, Seth 2009 Public Sector Employees: Risk Averse and Altruistic?

A unique feature of our study is that we use revealed rather than stated preferences data. Respondents of a large-scale survey were offered a substantial reward and could choose between a widely redeemable gift certificate, a lottery ticket, or making a donation to a charity. Our analysis shows that public sector employees are significantly less likely to choose the risky option (lottery) and, at the start of their career, significantly more likely to choose the pro-social option (charity). However, when tenure increases, this difference in pro-social inclinations disappears and, later on, even reverses. Our results further suggest that quite a few public sector employees do not contribute to charity because they feel that they already contribute enough to society at work for too little pay. http://ftp.iza.org/dp4401.pdf GB 5785 Gregg, Paul and Vittori, Claudia 2008 Exploring Shorrocks Mobility Indices Using European Data CMPO Working Paper No. 08/206 Bristol Centre for Market and Public Organisation Report longitudinal 30 Discussion Paper income and poverty, international comparison Income Distribution, Inequality, Poverty, Labor Markets Starting from the approach proposed by Schluter and Trede (2003) we develop a continuous and alternative measure of mobility which first, allows to identify mobility over different parts of the earnings distribution and second, to distinguish between mobility that tends to reduce or increase the level of permanent inequality. This paper focuses on four European countries, Denmark, Germany, Spain and the UK. In a global perspective, mobility in the short and long-run analysis tends to equalize the level of permanent inequality. Six year changes comparing the average between 1994 and 1995 with the average of 2000 and 2001, suggests that Denmark has the highest mobility mainly almost entirely from higher mobility at the middle and top of the distribution. Germany has the lowest overall mobility. Overall mobility over six years produces only a modest reduction in inequality patterns (5 to 10%) adopting the Gini index and there is no clear correlation between mobility and inequality levels. Exploiting the decomposability of the mobility index developed, we carry out a local analysis by earnings quintiles which draw some general key facts. It emerges that it is the bottom 20 percent of the earnings distribution that makes the largest contribution to the global mobility pattern and that mobility, with the exception of Denmark, does not lead to clear convergence to the mean but at points around 0.7-0.8 and 1.5 to 2 times the mean. http://www.bristol.ac.uk/cmpo/publications/papers/2008/wp206.pdf ECHP GB 5784 Breuer, Christoph and Wicker, Pamela 2009 Decreasing Sports Activity With Increasing Age? Findings From a 20-year Longitudinal and Cohort Sequence Analysis Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport 80 1 22-31 Journal Article longitudinal 02 SSCI Journal miscellaneous aging, lifespan, panel, social change According to cross-sectional studies in sport science literature, decreasing sports activity with increasing age is generally assumed. In this paper, the validity of this assumption is checked by applying more effective methods of analysis, such as longitudinal and cohort sequence analyses. With the help of 20 years' worth of data records,from the German Socio-Economic Panel, the development of sports activity over a lifespan is analyzed. According to inadequate cross-sectional analyses, sports activity decreases with increasing age. In contrast, longitudinal analyses show that sports activity increases with increasing age. Furthermore, cohort sequence analysts indicate that not only age but also cohort and period effects influence sports activity. Thus, different methods of analysis reveal opposite results.

The dynamics of these transitions depend both, on individual duration in a particular state and the transition probabilities between states. Individual transitions, in turn, depend on observable and unobserved factors. Simultaneously, person-specific dynamics may be influenced by swings of the business cycle. This paper analyzes these labor force status dynamics for the East and West German labor market, separately using comprehensive data on monthly transitions from the SOEP. The results show that the experience of high unemployment rates is more sensitive to cyclical behavior for certain demographic groups, specifically unskilled and young workers. Heterogeneity in unemployment and transition rates differ between East and West Germany, as well as between the sexes. In East Germany, all demographic cells are almost entirely detached from the cycle. Women are less influenced by the cycle in their re-employment rate from unemployment to employment. http://www.rwi-essen.de/media/content/pages/publikationen/ruhr-economic-papers/REP_09_139.pdf SOEP GB 5782 Paloyo, Alfredo R. 2009 Co-pay and feel okay: evidence of illusory health gains from a health insurance reform SOEPpapers 225 Berlin DIW Berlin 2009: Ruhr Economic Papers #142.

Among others, the reform introduced a co-payment for ambulatory doctor visits and increased the co-payments for prescription drugs. This natural experiment allows identification of the causal impact of the program on self-assessed health and hence reveals the sensitivity of this subjective measure to a perturbation in the insurance system. Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel, the results indicate that after the policy intervention, the respondents in the treated group perceived their own health status as better than their hypothetical untreated state even when there is no discernible impact on actual health. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.342503.de/diw_sp0225.pdf http://www.rwi-essen.de/media/content/pages/publikationen/ruhr-economic-papers/REP_09_142.pdf SOEP GB 5781 Clauss, Markus and Schubert, Stefanie 2009 The ZEW Combined Microsimulation-CGE Model: Innovative Tool for Applied Policy Analysis ZEW Discussion Paper No. 09-062 Mannheim Centre for European Economic Research Report simulation 30 Discussion Paper labour, econometrics, methods microsimulation, applied CGE analysis, linked micro-macro models This contribution describes the linkage of microsimulation models and computable general equilibrium (CGE) models using two already established models called “STSM” and “PACE-L” used by the Centre for European Economic Research. This state of the art research method for applied policy analysis combines the advantages of both model types: On the one hand, microsimulation models allow for detailed labor supply and distributional effects due to policy measures, as individual household data is used. On the other hand, by using a general equilibrium framework, labour market responses, such as wage and labour demand reactions are taken into account. ftp://ftp.zew.de/pub/zew-docs/dp/dp09062.pdf SOEP GB 5780 Gernandt, Johannes 2009 Decreasing Wage Mobility in Germany ZEW Discussion Paper No. 09-044 Mannheim Centre for European Economic Research Report cross-sectional 30 Discussion Paper Income and poverty, Labour, transfer systems Wage Mobility, Ranks, Inequality, Distribution, SOEP Using data from the German Socio Economic Panel (SOEP) for the years 1984 to 2007, this paper analyses the amount, the development and the explanations of wage mobility, as well as volatility in West Germany, measured by ranks in the wage distribution. Individual wage mobility decreased between 1984/1987 and 2004/2007, while inequality increased steadily from the mid 1990s onwards. Mobility is highest in the middle section of the distribution. Better qualified persons, younger persons and employees of larger firms have higher chances of moving upwards. Wages are more volatile in the low-wage sector and for individuals moving downwards in the wage distribution. ftp://ftp.zew.de/pub/zew-docs/dp/dp09044.pdf SOEP GB 5779 Bachmann, Ronald and David, Peggy 2009 The Importance of Two-Sided Heterogeneity for the Cyclicality of Labour Market Dynamics Ruhr Economic Papers #124 Bochum, Dortmund, Duisburg, Essen Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Department of Economics, Technische Universität Dortmund, Department of Economics and Social Sciences, Universität Duisburg-Essen, Department of Economics and Rheinisch-Westfälisches Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung (RWI) Report citation of SOEP results 30 Discussion Paper Labour Worker flows, accessions, separations, business cycle, job-to-job, employer-to-employer, linked employer-employee Using two data sets derived from German administrative data, including a linked employer-employee data set, we investigate the cyclicality of worker and job flows.The analysis stresses the importance of two-sided labour market heterogeneity in this context, taking into account both observed and unobserved characteristics.We find that small firms hire mainly unemployed workers, and that they do so at the beginning of an economic expansion. Later on in the expansion, hirings more frequently result from direct job-to-job transitions, with employed workers moving to larger firms. Contrary to our expectations, workers moving to larger firms do not experience significantly larger wage gains than workers moving to smaller establishments. Furthermore, our econometric analysis shows that the interaction of unobserved heterogeneities on the two sides of the labour market plays a more important role for employed job seekers than for the unemployed. http://www.rwi-essen.de/media/content/pages/publikationen/ruhr-economic-papers/REP_09_124.pdf GB 5778 Buligescu, Bianca, de Crombrugghe, Denis, Mentesoglu, Gülçin and Montizaan, Raymond 2009 Panel estimates of the wage penalty for maternal leave Oxford Economic Papers 61 Supplement 1 I35-I55 10.1093/oep/gpn042 Journal Article longitudinal 02 SSCI Journal labour, family and networks, econometrics SAMPLE SELECTION, DATA MODELS, EARNINGS, WOMEN, MOTHERHOOD The focus of this paper is the size of the wage penalty due to maternal leave incurred by working mothers in Germany. Existing estimates suggest large penalties with little rebound over time. We apply recent panel data methods designed to address problems of sample selectivity, unobserved heterogeneity and endogeneity to German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP) data. Heckman's classic treatment of selectivity is extended to deal with both heterogeneity and simultaneity. In order to exploit the actual working hours data available in GSOEP, we develop the case of a censored tobit participation model. We also investigate the sensitivity of the results to the choice of method. Our estimates imply a maternal leave wage penalty of 10 to 14% which is less persistent over time than other studies suggest. Five years after the return to work maternal wages have caught up.

Kluve, Schaffner, and Schmidt (2009) emphasize the heterogeneity of cyclical influences for different subgroups of workers, defined by age, gender and skills. This paper contributes to this literature by extending this analysis to job-to-job flows. In fact, job-to-job transitions are found to be the largest flows in the German labor market. The findings suggest that job-finding rates and job-to-job transitions are procyclical while separation rates are acyclical or even countercyclical. The empirical framework employed here allows demographic groups to vary in their cyclical sensitivity. In Germany, young workers have the highest transition rates into and out of employment and between different jobs. Additionally, these transitions are more volatile than those of medium- aged or old workers. By contrast, old workers experience low transition rates and less pronounced swings than the core group of medium-aged, medium- skilled men. http://www.rwi-essen.de/media/content/pages/publikationen/ruhr-economic-papers/REP_09_118.pdf GB 5776 Scherger, Simone 2009 Social Change and the Timing of Family Transitions in West Germany: Evidence from cohort comparisons Time & Society 18 1 106-129 10.1177/0961463X08099947 Journal Article longitudinal 02 SSCI Journal family and networks destandardization, life course, marriage, moving out of the parental home, parenthood This article addresses the timing of family transitions in early adulthood. Theoretical and empirical analyses are used to investigate the appropriateness of the notions of destandardization, differentiation and individualization for characterizing recent changes in West German life courses. Data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP) are used for a comparison of (West German) birth cohorts and the respective timing of moving out of the parental home, first marriage and first parenthood. These transitions have, in fact, undergone a certain temporal destandardization. However, the results suggest that this destandardization is limited to certain dimensions, is clearly socially structured and is in part brought about by changing structural conditions. Furthermore, these changes in timing can be partly explained by differentiation according to education. Individualization, too, is only applicable to a certain degree and in particular to women's life courses.

Berlin: DIW Berlin Report cross-sectional 30 Discussion Paper Income and poverty unification, living standards, income inequality, distribution, GSOEP, Germany We analyse the convergence and heterogeneity of living standards between East and West Germany since unification. Based on data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP), we compare total individual income of permanent adult residents, including retirees and the unemployed, of East and West Germany over the fifteen years for which data are available. Using a fixed effects vector decomposition method, we estimate the gross total income difference between East and West Germans taking unobserved heterogeneity into account. Our analysis demonstrates that the negative income gap has decreased from 33 per cent in 1992 to 22 per cent in 2002, rising again to 26 per cent in 2007. Hence some convergence took place in nominal terms since unification. Constructing income gaps by decennial cohorts, we discover that the most recent cohorts have the highest negative income gap. This probably reflects out-migration from East Germany by the young and highly skilled. On the basis of quantile regressions we find a positive income gap at the beginning of the 1990s for the lower income deciles (that is higher incomes in East Germany). This was due to retirees in the East with relative long employment histories receiving transfer payments by western standards. The income gap is insignificant when accounting for heterogeneity at the area level by including area level variables to our regression. http://ftp.iza.org/dp4454.pdf, http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.342791.de/diw_sp0229.pdf SOEP GB 5771 Becker, Irene and Hauser, Richard 2009 Soziale Gerechtigkeit - ein magisches Viereck.

While much research has addressed the early retirement trend, there is little understanding of changing retirement patterns. Yet, changing retirement patterns are an important potential driver of economic inequality among retirees. This article proposes de-standardization and differentiation as two concepts to systematically analyze temporal retirement patterns. Germany and Britain are compared to assess how social policies interact to shape individual retirement patterns and economic inequality. The study uses sequence analysis and relative distribution methods to provide an innovative and dynamic perspective on retirement. Results from longitudinal data show that retirement de-standardization and differentiation are driven by employment maintenance policies on the labor market, high institutional complexity in pensions, and a lack of institutionalized early retirement routes. De-standardization and differentiation of retirement, however, are not associated with increasing economic inequality among retirees. http://www.yale.edu/ciqle/CIQLEPAPERS/CIQLEWP2009-1.pdf SOEP, BHPS GB 5769 Figari, Francesco, Paulus, Alari and Sutherland, Holly 2009 Measuring the size and impact of public cash support for children in cross-national perspective ISER Working Paper No. 2009-24 Colchester Institute for Social and Economic Research (ISER) 2009: EUROMOD Working Paper No. EM6/09.

Using microsimulation techniques, this accounts for all provisions contingent on the presence of children, while usually only gross child/family benefits are considered. We use EUROMOD, the European Union tax-benefit microsimulation model, to quantify the support for children and analyse its impact on household incomes and child poverty for 19 countries. We find that the conventional approach underestimates on average the total amount of support for children by about one fifth. Furthermore, the differences between two measures vary considerably across countries and are, therefore, critical for cross-national comparisons. http://www.iser.essex.ac.uk/publications/working-papers/iser/2009-24.pdf EUROMOD GB 5768 Kröger, Katharina 2008 Exit-Interviews in SOEP und SHARE DIW Berlin Data Documentation 40 Berlin DIW Berlin Report technical documentation 35 Other DIW Publications methods http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.92795.de/diw_datadoc_2008-040.pdf SOEP D 5767 Kroh, Martin 2009 Documentation of Sample Sizes and Panel Attrition in the German Socio Economic Panel (SOEP) (1984 until 2008) DIW Berlin Data Documentation 47 Berlin DIW Berlin Report technical documentation 35 Other DIW Publications methods http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.341747.de/diw_datadoc_2009-047.pdf SOEP GB 5766 Hintze, Peter and Lakes, Tobia 2009 Geographically Referenced Data in Social Science - A service paper for SOEP data users DIW Berlin Data Documentation 46 Berlin DIW Berlin Report technical documentation 35 Other DIW Publications methods http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.338625.de/diw_datadoc_2009-046.pdf SOEP GB 5765 Grabka, Markus M. 2009 Codebook for the $PEQIV File 1984-2008 - CNEF Variables with Extended Income Information for the SOEP DIW Berlin Data Documentation 45 Berlin DIW Berlin Report technical documentation 35 Other DIW Publications methods The $PEQUV-File is based on the Cross-National Equivalent File (CNEF) with extended income information for the SOEP.

Forward-looking agents care about earnings and job mobility as well as earnings levels, thus an assessment of the existence of a “public premium” should be based on measures of the lifetime value of employment in either sector. Using data from the European Community Household Panel survey, we evaluate the difference in lifetime value of employment in the public and private sector, taking into account differences in average earnings, earnings dispersion and earnings persistence. In addition to considering the effect of observed individual characteristics, such as education and labour market experience, the estimation strategy allows for unobserved heterogeneity – for example in terms of “public service motivation” – to influence the dynamics of individuals’ employment and earnings patterns. The common format of the ECHP permits the analysis to be carried out for six different European countries – Germany, The Netherlands, France, Italy, Spain and Portugal. This is first time this modelling strategy has been applied to European data, affording an international perspective on public-private pay inequalities. http://www.iser.essex.ac.uk/files/conferences/bhps/2009/abstracts/Matt_Dickson.pdf ECHP GB 5761 Doris, Aedín, O’Neill, Donal and Sweetman, Olive 2009 Estimating Models of Earnings Dynamics with the European Community Household Panel Data 2009 BHPS Research Conference, 9-11 July, 2009 Colchester Manuscript longitudinal 52 Speech Manuscript labour, methods, international comparison The aim of this paper is to use panel data on male workers to separate the permanent from the transitory component of earnings inequality for a number of European countries. Several authors have noted the need for long panel data sets when conducting such exercises. Unfortunately the data best suited to international comparisons across European countries (the European Community Household Panel) is limited to a maximum of eight years per individual. Therefore, before commencing with a detailed analysis of the ECHP we conduct a series of Monte Carlo evaluations of our proposed estimator for ECHP type data structures. Our analysis suggests that for moderate degrees of persistence in transitory shocks, eight years is sufficient to get precise estimates of the components of inequality. However, for stronger persistence, eight years is clearly problematic and longer panels are required. With this in mind, we estimate the permanent and transitory components of inequality across European countries. We find that the nature of inequality varies substantially across countries, with differences in permanent inequality accounting for the majority of the observed cross-country differences in aggregate inequality. We also briefly assess the effects of unemployment and education on the components of inequality. http://www.iser.essex.ac.uk/files/conferences/bhps/2009/abstracts/Aedin_Doris.pdf ECHP GB 5760 Damioli, Giacomo 2009 How and why the dynamics of poverty differ across European countries XIII Annual Conference of the European Society for Population Economics (ESPE), June 10–13, 2009, Seville Seville Manuscript cross-sectional 52 Speech Manuscript income and poverty, international comparison poverty dynamics, European countries, hazard models I develop a new method to analyse cross-national differences in poverty dynamics. I use the method to compare eleven European countries. With estimates from bivariate mixture hazard regression models, I predict the distribution of time spent in poverty at the individual and country level. The analysis shows that despite large differences in the proportion poor in a given year, the average length of time spent in poverty is similar across countries. Britain and Ireland are outliers with long average times spent in poverty. However, the types of individuals who last in poverty for extended periods of time differ by country. They are mainly old people in Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Greece and Ireland, and to a lesser extent in Portugal. In France, Italy, Portugal and Spain they are mainly individuals in households with children, low labour market attachment and low educational attainment. In Germany and the Netherlands, and to a lesser degree in Britain, Denmark and Ireland, young non-employed individuals living alone also account for a relatively large fraction of the population with long spells in poverty. https://espe.conference-services.net/resources/321/1533/pdf/ESPE2009_0288_paper.pdf ECHP GB 5759 Pull, Kerstin 2008 Die betriebswirtschaftliche Logik von Outplacement-Leistungen.

Among the many measures to enhance employee employability the provision of outplacement benefits play a prominent role. This paper takes a first step in systematically exploring the economic rationale of outplacement benefits by considering a number of theoretical approaches that may help to explain the provision of outplacement benefits: An accounting logic, a productivity oriented logic, and a signalling logic are elaborated. As systematic data on the provision of outplacement benefits are lacking, the paper confronts the implications from theory with the anecdotal evidence at hand concluding that there seems to be more than one single rationale for the provision of outplacement benefits. The paper closes with a plea for a theoretically inspired systematic empirical analysis of the provision of outplacement benefits.

Most of household public goods are produced using spouses's time, with men devoting about more than one hour per week to home labor and women spending about three hours. We use evidence from a variety of time-use surveys for a great number of countries and show that the total amount of time that individuals devote to household labor is greater if they live in a couple than if they live as single. In most countries the time devoted to housework is between 10 and 20 minutes per day higher for married than for single men, and between 15 to 45 minutes per day higher for married than for single women. We present a simple theory that encompasses the main mechanisms that could be behind the increase of home labor upon forming a household, such as the degree of substitution between private and public goods, or selection into marriage by those individuals with a higher taste for home labor. Using longitudinal data we reject selection, i.e. that tidier individuals select themselves into forming couples. By documenting how the time that is devoted to home production changes upon entering a union this paper provides further insights into the welfare gains of forming a couple. https://espe.conference-services.net/resources/321/1533/pdf/ESPE2009_0260_paper.pdf GB 5757 Anger, Silke and Kvasnicka, Michael 2009 Stop Smoking, Your Paycheck Will Thank You!

Little research, in contrast, has been done on the wage effects of smoking cessation. Using survey panel data from Germany, we study the relative earnings of smokers and former smokers over an extended period of time. Our results from pooled OLS regressions of wages on smoking status for ever smokers (smokers, former smoker) point to a large wage gain from smoking cessation. This gain disappears once we control for individual fixed effects, which suggests that the apparent wage gain attached to smoking cessation is the result of a pure selection effect. However, when adding controls for (past) smoking duration and time elapsed since quitting, individuals who did not smoke very long or who quit many years ago do appear to benefit in their earnings from quitting smoking. Both a selection effect and a causal effect of smoking cessation hence seem to underlie the average wage gains attached to quitting in our data. The prospect of a higher paycheck for short-time smokers and long-term quitters provides an additional incentive to smokers to quit smoking, an argument health authorities may want to utilize in public smoking cessation https://espe.conference-services.net/resources/321/1533/pdf/ESPE2009_0556_paper.pdf SOEP GB 5756 Vidal, Sergi 2009 Does the extended family cause migration?

To live further away from ties increases the hazard of migration, which grows when we control for regional heterogeneity, meaning that less dispersed ties to relatives may be found in 'sending regions', like some rural areas with less economic opportunities. Closer relationships impact strongly, decreasing the effect of other dimensions. Last, we also find that individuals with lower labor market opportunities are more likely to stay constrained by the social capital embedded in the location of residence. http://iussp2009.princeton.edu/download.aspx?submissionId=90983 SOEP GB 5755 Paulus, Alari and Peichl, Andreas 2009 Inequality neutral flat tax reforms in Europe: differences between East and West Third meeting of the Society for the Study of Economic Inequality (ECINEQ), Buenos Aires, July 21-23, 2009 Buenos Aires Manuscript simulation 52 Speech Manuscript transfer systems, international comparison Flat tax reform, income distribution, work incentives, microsimulation The flat tax idea is becoming increasingly popular, especially in transition countries in Eastern Europe. The introduction of a flat tax is supposed to have several advantages. However, flat taxes can have a serious drawback in terms of their impact on the distribution of tax burdens. The aim of this paper is to analyse the effects of flat tax reforms that do not change the inequality of the income distribution. We undertake a systematic approach for choosing flat tax parameters for a comparative analysis of different flat tax designs for selected Western European countries. Our analysis yields the following results. The revenue and inequality neutral flat tax rates tend to be higher in Continental than in Southern European countries, while being little affected by different measures of income inequality. The high marginal rates imply that revenue and inequality neutral flat reforms are not feasible in most countries, however, there might be scope for non-revenue or non-inequality neutral reforms depending on political preferences. http://www.ecineq.org/ecineq_ba/papers/Peichl2.pdf EUROMOD GB 5754 Bartels, Charlotte and Bönke, Timm 2009 German male earnings volatility: trends in permanent and transitory income components 1985 to 2004 Third meeting of the Society for the Study of Economic Inequality (ECINEQ), Buenos Aires, July 21-23, 2009 Buenos Aires Manuscript longitudinal 52 Speech Manuscript labour, income and poverty Earnings Volatility, Earnings Dynamics, Earnings Inequality Deploying data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP) this paper seeks to analyze the variability of individual earnings. Changes in inequality of yearly earnings can be the result of changes in the distribution of lifetime earnings (permanent changes) and the result changes in the stability of earnings (transitory changes). While a lot of research has been dedicated to prove that both components rose in the U.S. over the past several decades, little has been done for the German case. Permanent and transitory variances of male earnings over the period 1985-2004 are estimated to determine their importance in the German earnings dynamics. We find evidence that income volatility is substantial and increasing in Germany, particularly among younger cohorts and less qualified workers. Furthermore, trends in the New German Laender indicate a rise in structural inquality, approximating the earnings distribution of the Old German Laender. http://www.ecineq.org/ecineq_ba/papers/Bartels.pdf SOEP GB 5753 Brandolini, Andrea, Magri, Silvia and Smeeding, Timothy M. 2009 Asset-related measures of poverty and economic stress Third meeting of the Society for the Study of Economic Inequality (ECINEQ), Buenos Aires, July 21-23, 2009 Buenos Aires Manuscript cross-sectional 52 Speech Manuscript income and poverty, international comparison poverty, vulnerability, income, net worth, financial stress Poverty is generally defined as income or expenditure insufficiency, but the economic condition of a household also depends on its real and financial asset holdings as well as on the possibility to access the credit market.

We review and assess three main approaches followed in the literature: income-net worth measures, asset-poverty, financial vulnerability.

A comparative study for Germany and Italy IZA DP No. 4591 Bonn Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) Report citation of SOEP results 30 Discussion Paper employment duration, work career, tenure, precarious jobs, labour market reforms, mixed proportional hazard According to the aims of the labour market reforms of the 90s implemented in many European countries, workers may stay at their first job for a shorter time, but should be able to switch jobs easily. This would generate a trade-off between job opportunities and job stability. This paper addresses this issue using administrative longitudinal data for Germany and Italy, taken as representative examples of continuous and isolated reforms, respectively. The estimated piecewise constant job and employment duration models show that changes in the durations of the first job and employment – measured as the sum of multiple consecutive jobs – are observed in periods of labour market reforms. However, the existence of a trade-off is not confirmed by the results. In Germany, men have experienced an increase in employment stability over time, mated with somewhat longer job durations, while women have not benefitted from an increase in employment durations as a compensation for the marked decrease in their first job durations. In Italy, employment stability of the new entrants of both sexes has not improved after the reforms. The reduction in the duration of the first job has not been counterbalanced by an increase in the opportunity to find rapidly another job. These results suggest that the objective of increasing job opportunities by means of labour market deregulation has not been fully achieved. http://ftp.iza.org/dp4591.pdf GB 5751 Hornig, Stephan O., Rottmann, Horst and Wapler, Rüdiger 2009 The Sorting Value of Education: Is it Different for Ethnic and Native Germans?

SOEPpapers 228 Berlin DIW Berlin Report longitudinal 31 DIW Discussion Paper labour, income and poverty, international comparison temporary employment, wages, permanent earnings This paper uses panel data from the UK (BHPS) and Germany (GSOEP) to investigate the wage effect of entering the labour market with a temporary job. Further than the previous literature that studied the effect of the contract type on wage dynamics in the explained part of a wage regression, we also investigate the effect of the starting contract on the variance of unobserved individual effects and random earnings shocks. For this purpose, we decompose earnings into their permanent and temporary component and study the effect of such a labour market entry on each of these components. In the permanent component, we distinguish between initial unobserved earnings ability and experience-related heterogeneity. Our results for Germany, verify the existence of a wage penalty for entering the labour market with a temporary contract. This penalty disappears after 12 years for male workers and after 7 years for the female workers. In contrast, in the UK, no such wage penalty is found. However, in the UK, the initial unobserved earnings capacity is higher for workers starting off with a permanent job. No such difference emerges in Germany. In none of the two countries do we find a difference between the two groups of workers in the effect of experience-related unobserved heterogeneity. Initial inequality in the unobserved earnings capacity gradually disappears due to experience-related heterogeneity for all groups except for the British workers that entered the labour market with a temporary job. The persistence of earnings shocks is higher for workers entering the labour market with a temporary contract. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.342787.de/diw_sp0228.pdf SOEP GB 5748 Boockmann, Bernhard and Verbeek, Hans 2009 Well-being, unemployment, and social interaction: An international comparison Annual Conference of the European Association of Labour Economists (EALE 2009), September 10–12, 2009, Tallinn Tallinn Manuscript citation of SOEP results 52 Speech Manuscript Social norms, unemployment, benefit morale, benefit fraud If unemployment is high in an individual's reference group, the moral imperative to work for one's own living may be weakened. Consequently, the psychic costs of unemployment and work incentives are reduced. In this paper, we empirically test this proposition using a survey conducted in almost all European countries. Marginal effects calculated from ordered probit regressions pooled over countries suggest that this effect is present, at least for high levels of well-being. Evidence from individual countries is more mixed. We also consider the effect of the benefit replacement ratio and employment protection on the well-being of the unemployed. http://www.eale.nl/Conference2009/PapersE/Boockmann,%20Verbeek.pdf GB 5747 Ayllón, Sara 2009 Modelling state dependence and feedback effects between poverty, employment and parental home emancipation among European youth SOEPpapers 235 Berlin DIW Berlin 2009: VATT Working Paper 10.

In this paper, the interrelationship between employment, residential emancipation and poverty dynamics is studied for eight European countries by means of an econometric model with feedback effects. Results show that youth poverty genuine state dependence is positive and highly significant. Evidence proves there is a strong causal effect between poverty and leaving home in Scandinavian countries, however, time in economic hardship does not last long. In Southern Europe, instead, youth tend to leave their parental home much later in order to avoid falling into a poverty state that is more persistent. Past poverty has negative consequences on the likelihood of employment. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.343251.de/diw_sp0235.pdf ECHP GB 5746 Schmidt, Christoph M. and Winter, Barbara S. 2009 The Dynamics of Assortative Mating in Germany 14th Annual Conference of the Society of Labor Economists (SOLE 2009), May 8–9, 2009, Boston Boston Manuscript citation of SOEP results 52 Speech Manuscript assortative marriage, Microzensus, education, log-linear models This paper examines the patterns of educational assortative mating in East and West Germany. In the literature it is well known that individuals do not mate randomly according to social and cultural traits. Marrying within a socio-economic group can lead to polarization and exacerbating economic inequality. In the US, there is a compelling body of evidence indicating that the educational similarity of spouses has steadily increased during the at least last four decades. Yet, for Germany little is known about actual patterns of educational assortative mating. Our empirical analysis for Germany shows that educational assortative mating has increased significantly for East and West Germany during the last 15 and 30 years, respectively. To control for increases in the educational attainment we apply different log-linear methods. The results point out that the observed changes in assortative mating in East and West Germany might be explained by changes in partner preferences regarding education. However, these changes differ by educational group. An other reason could be found in changes in the dificulty of crossing educational barriers. http://client.norc.org/jole/SOLEweb/9350.pdf GB 5745 Polachek, Solomon W. and Xiang, Jun (Jeff) 2009 The Gender Pay Gap Across Countries: A Human Capital Approach SOEPpapers 227 Berlin DIW Berlin Report cross-sectional 31 DIW Discussion Paper labour, gender, international comparison The gender wage gap varies across countries. For example, among OECD nations women in Australia, Belgium, Italy and Sweden earn 80% as much as males, whereas in Austria, Canada and Japan women earn about 60%. Current studies examining cross-country differences focus on the impact of labor market institutions such as minimum wage laws and nationwide collective bargaining. However, these studies neglect labor market institutions that affect women’s lifetime work behavior -- a factor crucially important in gender wage gap studies that employ individual data. This paper explicitly concentrates on labor market institutions that are related to female lifetime work that affect the gender wage gap across countries. Using ISSP (International Social Survey Programme), LIS (Luxembourg Income Study) and OECD wage data for 35 countries covering 1970-2002, we show that the gender pay gap is positively associated with the fertility rate (treated exogenously and endogenously with religion as the instrument), positively associated with the husbandwife age gap at first marriage, and positively related to the top marginal tax rate, all factors which negatively affect women’s lifetime labor force participation. In addition, we show that collective bargaining, as found in previous studies, is negatively associated with the gender pay gap. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.342785.de/diw_sp0227.pdf LIS GB 5744 Tatsiramos, Konstantinos 2009 Job Displacement and the Transition to Re-Employment and Early Retirement for Non-Employed Older Workers across Institutional Environments 14th Annual Conference of the Society of Labor Economists (SOLE 2009), May 8–9, 2009, Boston Boston Manuscript cross-sectional 52 Speech Manuscript labour, miscellaneous, international comparison Job Displacement, Unemployment Duration, Retirement, Institutions Despite the relatively higher frequency of job displacement among older workers in Europe, little is known on its effect on the work-retirement decision. Employing individual data from the European Community Household Panel, for a number of countries with differences in their institutional environments, the effect of job displacement for non-employed workers is identified separately for the transitions into re-employment and retirement. The findings suggest that in countries with relatively more generous unemployment insurance provisions for older unemployed, which offer a pathway to early retirement, older displaced workers exhibit lower re-employment and higher retirement rates compared to the non-displaced. These results are robust to dynamic selection due to unobserved heterogeneity and to the endogeneity of displacement. http://client.norc.org/jole/SOLEweb/9020.pdf ECHP GB 5743 Connolly, Helen, Munzi, Teresa and Gornick, Janet C. 2009 Employment Outcomes Across Countries: A Cross-National Analysis of Differentials by Parenting Status 14th Annual Conference of the Society of Labor Economists (SOLE 2009), May 8–9, 2009, Boston Boston Manuscript cross-sectional 52 Speech Manuscript labour, family and networks, international comparison, income and poverty http://client.norc.org/jole/SOLEweb/9122.pdf LIS GB 5742 Dittmann, Jörg and Goebel, Jan 2010 Your House, Your Car, Your Education: The Socioeconomic Situation of the Neighborhood and its Impact on Life Satisfaction in Germany Social Indicators Research 96 3 497-513 10.1007/s11205-009-9489-7 Journal Article longitudinal 02 SSCI Journal subjective indicators, miscellaneous Life satisfaction - Neighborhood This study deals with the impact of socioeconomic conditions and social integration into a local neighborhood on individual life satisfaction in Germany. While the majority of ecological studies to date are based on very broad neighborhood concepts, using large research units for defining neighborhood the present study contains micro-geographic information on a representative sample of private households in Germany, including features of their respective residential environments. The data was derived from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) study and enriched with data from the Micromarketing-Systeme and Consult GmbH (microm) for the years 2000–2006. Our analyses reveal neighborhood effects on various facets of life satisfaction. Controlling for several covariates at the household and individual level, life satisfaction increases when a person lives in a neighborhood with a higher socioeconomic status. In addition, the individual gap between a person’s economic status and the status of the neighborhood also affects individual well-being. However, when comparing with other neighborhood aspects, the strongest effects on individual life satisfaction have social networks.

Gary Becker's theory of marriage predicts that specialization in domestic and market work, respectively, reduces the risk of separation. Traditionally, the breadwinner role is assigned to the husband, however, female labor force participation and their wages have risen substantially. Our results suggest that there are gender-specific differences, e.g. female breadwinner-couples have a substantially higher risk of divorce than male breadwinner-couples. In contrast, the equal division does not significantly alter the probability of separation. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.342077.de/diw_sp0223.pdf SOEP GB 5740 Peichl, Andreas, Pestel, Nico and Schneider, Hilmar 2009 Mehr Ungleichheit durch kleinere Haushalte?

In den letzten 15 bis 20 Jahren ist die Einkommensungleichheit in Deutschland kontinuierlich gestiegen, während sich gleichzeitig die durchschnittliche Haushaltsgröße deutlich verringert hat. Das Ziel des vorliegenden Beitrags besteht darin, den Effekt der demografischen Entwicklung auf die Einkommensungleichheit zu quantifizieren. Es zeigt sich, dass die Ungleichheit auch ohne den demografischen Trend zugenommen hätte.

Je höher die Hierarchiestufe desto geringer ist ihr Anteil unter den Führungskräften. Nur 2,5 Prozent der Vorstandsmitglieder der Top-200 Wirtschaftsunternehmen in Deutschland sind weiblich. Zahlreiche Studien untersuchen Einflussfaktoren auf die Karriere in Abhängigkeit z.B. von Humankapital und anderen „objektiven“ Faktoren.

Verglichen werden Führungskräfte mit anderen Angestellten in der Privatwirtschaft. Die bivariate Betrachtung der als Big Five bekannten fünf Persönlichkeitsmerkmale und der Risikobereitschaft bei der eigenen beruflichen Karriere bestätigen zunächst, dass sich Führungskräfte in ihrer Selbsteinschätzung deutlich von sonstigen Angestellten unterscheiden und auch zwischen Frauen und Männern zum Teil signifikante Differenzen bestehen.Werden jedoch weitere Einflussgrößen, wie Humankapitalausstattung, soziale Herkunft sowie das individuelle Lebens- und Arbeitsumfeld zur Erklärung des Einnehmens einer Führungsposition in das Schätzmodell mit einbezogen, lassen sich zwischen Frauen und Männern keine statistisch signifikanten Unterschiede im Effekt der Persönlichkeitsdimensionen mehr nachweisen. Die geringeren Karrierechancen für Frauen gehen vielmehr auf Unterschiede in der Bedeutung der Berufserfahrung (Entwertung durch Unterbrechungen), der geleisteten Überstunden und hinsichtlich des ausgeübten Berufs (Segregation am Arbeitsmarkt) zurück. Dennoch mögen Persönlichkeitseigenschaften durchaus eine Rolle spielen, aber eher indirekt – reflektiert durch Unterschiede in den entscheidenden Einflussfaktoren auf die Karriere wie Berufserfahrung, lange Wochenarbeitszeiten und Berufswahl (Segregation am Arbeitsmarkt). http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.340880.de/diw_sp0220.pdf SOEP D 5738 Heineck, Guido 2009 The determinants of secondary jobholding in Germany and the UK Zeitschrift für ArbeitsmarktForschung (ZAF) 42 2 107-120 10.1007/s12651-009-0008-8 Journal Article 03 Refereed Journal labour, international comparison Secondary jobholding is a persistent phenomenon in both Germany and the UK.

In this paper we examine distributional effects of labour earnings and unemployment benefits using simulated increases in unemployment insurance replacement rates or equivalently, increases in the net present value of benefit duration. Starting around an 18%-point increase in the replacement rate, there are significant negative labour supply effects, drawing those employed into unemployment shifting the mass of the earnings distribution to the left. At around a 25%-point increase in the replacement rate, the mass of the distribution shifts right again, as those receiving unemployment benefits simply enjoy an increased transfer. Thus, due to the substantial negative labour supply effects, German economic policy should avoid potentially increasing the UI benefit replacement rate (or equivalently, increasing the benefit duration) in the near future as a response to the worldwide economic crisis. http://www.rwi-essen.de/media/content/pages/publikationen/ruhr-economic-papers/REP_09_121.pdf SOEP GB 5729 Bundesministerium für Familie, Senioren, Frauen und Jugend (Hrsg.) 2009 "Wissenschaftliche Bestandsaufnahme der Forschung zu ""Wohlbefinden von Eltern und Kindern""" Monitor Familienforschung (Beiträge aus Forschung, Statistik und Familienpolitik) 19 Bonn BMFSFJ Report mentions of the SOEP study 33 Other Grey Literature http://www.bmfsfj.de/bmfsfj/generator/BMFSFJ/familie,did=131512.html D 5728 Kassenboehmer, Sonja C. and Haisken-DeNew, John P. 2009 Social Jealousy and Stigma: Negative Externalities of Social Assistance Payments in Germany Ruhr Economic Papers #117 Bochum, Dortmund, Duisburg, Essen Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Department of Economics, Technische Universität Dortmund, Department of Economics and Social Sciences, Universität Duisburg-Essen, Department of Economics and Rheinisch-Westfälisches Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung (RWI) Report longitudinal 30 Discussion Paper Income and poverty, transfer systems, subjective indicators Well Being, Life Satisfaction, Social Assistance, Stigma, Social Jealousy This paper examines the role of social assistance payments (SAP or Sozialhilfe) in determining levels of life satisfaction in Germany using the SOEP 1995-2004. We find strong evidence that individuals in Germany are negatively influenced by increased SAP payments controlling for income, whether or not they actually receive such payments (stigma and social jealousy). While there are obvious benefits to making SAP to those needy, there are substantial negative externalities experienced by those who neither receive SAP nor qualify (counterfactual SAP). Furthermore, these negative effects are even stronger for those who do receive benefits (stigma) suggesting that social jealousy and stigma are a force to be reckoned with when evaluating social policy. We show that the added benefits of increasing SAP are reduced by 50 to 100% because of social jealousy and stigma costs, whereas child benefits (Kindergeld) are seen to enhance life satisfaction over and above a simple income effect. Further, own-earned income, over and above the SAP subsistence level is valued much higher than transfer payments at the SAP subsistence level, suggesting a policy focus on increasing employment integration efforts for SAP recipients as opposed merely to providing SAP transfers. http://www.rwi-essen.de/media/content/pages/publikationen/ruhr-economic-papers/REP_09_117.pdf SOEP GB 5727 Georg, Werner 2009 Reichtum und Lebensstil - ein Überblick vor dem Hintergrund soziologischer Theorieansätze und empirischer Befunde der Lebensstilforschung Thomas Druyen, Wolfgang Lauterbach, Matthias Grundmann Reichtum und Vermögen: Zur gesellschaftlichen Bedeutung der Reichtums- und Vermögensforschung Wiesbaden VS Verlag für Sozialwissenschaften 266-275 Book Section mentions of the SOEP study 20 Book Section D 5726 Hauser, Richard 2009 Die Entwicklung der Einkommens- und Vermögensverteilung in Deutschland in den letzten Dekaden Thomas Druyen, Wolfgang Lauterbach, Matthias Grundmann Reichtum und Vermögen: Zur gesellschaftlichen Bedeutung der Reichtums- und Vermögensforschung Wiesbaden VS Verlag für Sozialwissenschaften 54-68 Book Section mentions of the SOEP study 20 Book Section D 5725 Lauterbach, Wolfgang and Ströing, Miriam 2009 Wohlhabend, Reich und Vermögend - Was heißt das eigentlich?

This paper outlines a model of how social interactions among persons belonging to the same region might influence individual unemployment duration. The impact is assumed to be enhanced through social work norms shared by peers within the group. Building on a range of German data sets and derived from multilevel analysis, the results show that social interactions in terms of social work norms, in conjunction with socio-demographic and regional characteristics, have an effect on individual unemployment duration. http://www.socialpolitik.ovgu.de/sozialpolitik_media/papers/Tolciu_Andreia_uid700_pid628.pdf GB 5723 Xie, Runli 2009 Trade-Off Between Consumption Growth and Inequality: Theory and Evidence for Germany SFB 649 Discussion Paper 2009-035 Berlin SFB 649, Humboldt University Berlin et al. Report cross-sectional 30 Discussion Paper income and poverty, consumption / assets / habitation consumption inequality, consumption growth, German Socio-Economic Panel, altruism This paper examines the structure and evolution of consumption inequality. Once heterogeneous agents relate their neighbors' consumption to their own, consumption volatility and inequality are affected. The model predicts a positive relationship between the group specific average consumption growth and within-group inequality, which is empirically confirmed using survey data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP) covering the period 1984-2005. Age and household size are crucial for within-group inequality, as young and/or small households are more sensitive to income and consumption shocks. The data also shows increases of within-group inequality directly after the reunification and the introduction of the euro. http://sfb649.wiwi.hu-berlin.de/papers/pdf/SFB649DP2009-035.pdf SOEP GB 5722 Stichnoth, Holger 2009 Good-bye Lenin On Our Bank Account?

I use the model to infer the share of household net income that women in couples receive for their individual consumption. In particular, I study whether the within-household allocation is more egalitarian for women who grew up in the former East Germany. The key identifying assumption is that some (but not all) parameters of the utility function are identical for single women and women in couples. I find that women receive about 67% of household net income for their individual consumption. There is no statistically significant difference with respect to the woman’s origin. http://www.socialpolitik.ovgu.de/sozialpolitik_media/papers/Stichnoth_Holger_uid757_pid680.pdf SOEP GB 5721 Schneider, Udo and Schneider, Brit S. 2009 Willing to be healthy?

Based on the idea that individuals can influence their health through health investments, we use a multi-level approach to consider the role of health relevant behaviour in the health production process. We assume that besides medical services, health relevant be-haviour and outcomes are central determinants of the assessment of health. The estimation of a multivariate probit model using German data confirms most of the formulated hypotheses about the influence of education, income and labour force status on health relevant behaviour and health. The results indicate that health policy should encourage investments in education which correspond to investments in health. http://www.fiwi.uni-bayreuth.de/de/download/WP_01-09.pdf SOEP GB 5720 Felfe, Christina 2009 The Willingness to Pay for Job Amenities: Evidence from Mother's Return to Work SOEPpapers 247 Berlin DIW Berlin 2009: CESifo Working Paper No. 2743, CESifo, Munich. Report longitudinal 30 Discussion Paper labour, family and networks "Marginal Willingness to Pay; Maternal Labor Supply; Discrete Duration Models" How can we encourage unused work potentials, such as young mothers, to participate in the labor market? This study addresses this issue by providing a direct measure for the relevance of job-related amenities for mothers work decision. It is the first study to directly estimate mothers’ marginal willingness to pay (MWP) for job amenities. Its identification strategy relies on German maternity leave length data. A theoretical model of the leave length decision is derived from a random utility approach. Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel and the Qualification and Career Survey, the model is estimated by a discrete duration method that assumes a logistic hazard function. The MWP for amenities can be inferred through the estimated elasticities of the leave length with respect to the disamenities and the wage. The results provide evidence that mothers are willing to sacrifice a significant fraction of their wage to reduce hazardous working conditions (more than 20% for a decrease of one standard deviation) and to enjoy a working schedule compatible with available daycare (more than 35%). http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.344909.de/diw_sp0247.pdf SOEP GB 5719 Frick, Joachim R. and Grabka, Markus M. 2009 Accounting for Imputed and Capital Income Flows in Income Inequality Analyses IZA DP No. 4634 Bonn Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) 2009: SOEPpaper 254. Berlin: DIW Berlin Report longitudinal 30 Discussion Paper Consumption / Assets / Habitation, income and poverty, econometrics Income Inequality, Mobility, Decomposition, Capital Income, Imputed Rent, SOEP "Using representative and consistent microdata from the German Socio-Economic Panel Study (SOEP) from 1985-2007, we illustrate that capital income (CI = return on financial investments) and imputed rent (IR = return on investments in owner-occupied housing) have become increasingly important sources of economic inequality in Germany over the last two decades. Whereas the operationalization of CI in this paper is based on monetary returns on financial investments only, our definition of IR follows a regulation by the European Commission, (EC) which is currently being used to harmonize income measurement for the European Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) in Europe. While both of these components represent some kind of return on alternative private investments, our results indicate that they do not coincide in their impacts on income inequality and poverty. In line with the literature, net IR as defined according to the EC regulation tends to exert a dampening effect on inequality and relative poverty, very much driven by the increasing share of outright ownership among the elderly. On the other hand, inequality is boosted by CI especially when looking at the upper tail of the income distribution. As the German public pension scheme gradually loses its ability to maintain people's living standards into retirement, we find these effects to increase over time. The analyses presented here, exemplified for Germany, make a clear case for the joint consideration of all components of private investment income for the purpose of welfare analysis, be they of a monetary or non-monetary nature. This appears to be relevant in at least three dimensions of comparative research: (1) across time; (2) across space, regions, welfare regimes; (3) across the individual life course, thus analyzing the impact of investment income on intrapersonal mobility patterns.

Using measures of relative (over-) indebtedness which relate household income and debt services to different concepts of subsistence level, this paper investigates the question whether severe household indebtedness is mainly driven by trigger events such as unemployment, childbirth, divorce, or death of a household member expenditure or whether household characteristics are the prevailing determinants. Exploring the panel structure of the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP), the results suggest that a further child is likely to cause severe household indebtedness. Unemployment also worsens the relative debt situation, mainly due to the income drop. Strokes of fate and events such as wedding and cohabitation do not have a direct effect on the risk of overindebtedness. However, if these events come along with a change of the number of adult household members, the associated income shock may trigger severe indebtedness, too. http://www.rwi-essen.de/media/content/pages/publikationen/ruhr-economic-papers/REP_09_150.pdf SOEP GB 5715 N.N. 2009 Automatic Stabilizers and Economic Crisis: United States vs. Europe IZA COMPACT (Engl.)

This paper contributes to this literature by comparing different measures of richness (income shares, headcount, intensity measures). We analyse the development of various richness indices over time in Europe (and other OECDCountries) using micro data. We explain the different developments in different countries by taking country specific situations (institutions, distribution of resources) into account. Further on, we compare the findings between different richness indices to show their differences and similarities in evaluating the top of the income distribution. Our analysis yields the following results. Different data sources as well as different richness measures can lead to different results for cross country comparisons and rankings, the analysis of the development of richness over time. However, in general, different rather homogeneous groups of countries can be identified: richness is rather high in Southern and Eastern European countries, as well as the English speaking countries, medium in Continental Europe and low in Scandinavian countries. http://www.socialpolitik.ovgu.de/sozialpolitik_media/papers/Peichl_Andreas_uid599_pid536.pdf ECHP GB 5713 Rinne, Ulf 2009 You Live and Learn: Private-Sector Training in Germany Jahrestagung des Vereins für Socialpolitik 2009, Magdeburg, 08.-11.

Using data from the SOEP, we concentrate on two periods: a) 1997–2000 and b) 2001–2004. Our results indicate a fairly similar pattern with regard to the incidence of private-sector training in Germany in both periods, while the picture which arises with respect to the effects of private-sector training on wages is not very robust to the econometric approach. We find positive wage effects of about 4–6 percent in both samples in the fixed effects specifications, but these effects generally decrease quite substantially in the fixed growth rates specifications. With respect to the effect of participation in private-sector training on subsequent employment prospects, we find a positive effect in both samples as the probability of being employed in subsequent years is raised by about 2–3 percentage points. However, this positive employment effect disappears after around 5 years. http://www.socialpolitik.ovgu.de/sozialpolitik_media/papers/Rinne_Ulf_uid507_pid450.pdf SOEP GB 5712 Gutiérrez-i-Puigarnau, Eva and van Ommeren, Jos 2010 Labour supply and commuting Journal of Urban Economics 68 1 82-89 "2009: SOEPpapers 222.

In Germany, distance has a slight positive effect on daily and weekly labour supply, but no effect on the number of workdays. The effect of distance on labour supply patterns is stronger for female workers, but it is still small. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.342008.de/diw_sp0222.pdf SOEP GB 5711 N.N. 2009 Do Smaller Households Increase Income Inequality?

While research on the role of cognitive skills for individual labor market success has a long tradition in economics, comparatively little is known about the channels through which non-cognitive skills affect individual labor market behavior. There is striking evidence that personality traits play a major role in explaining individual differences in school attendance and school performance. However, comparatively little is known about how and which personality traits effect labor supply decisions. In this paper, we relate personality traits to preference parameters using a conventional structural framework of labor force participation. This allows us to separate the direct effects of personality traits affecting the individual participation decision through different individual preferences from the indirect effects through wages. We can show that personality traits play an important role in the female labor force participation decision. The channels through which personality traits effect labor force participation are manifold and depend on the specific trait. Aggregation of traits to a single index is therefore a suboptimal strategy. ftp://ftp.zew.de/pub/zew-docs/dp/dp10003.pdf SOEP GB 5709 o.V. 2009 Mehr Ungleichheit durch kleinere Haushalte?

In contrast to the existing literature we consider parental experiences until the children graduate from school. In addition, the effects of the regional economic environment during teacher's decision about the secondary school track are analyzed. Using data drawn from the German Socio-Economic Panel an ordered probit estimator is used to model children's education attainment. With respect to parental labor market participation we find that father's full-time and mother's part-time employment have significant positive effects on children's education attainment. Furthermore, we obtain evidence that the regional GDP growth rate and the regional unemployment rate when children are 10 years old are significantly related to the education that these children ultimately achieve. Our interpretation is that regional economic conditions affect teachers'recommendations for the secondary school track, which are given during the last year of primary school. The results reveal the less successful parents are on the labor market, the lower the average education level of their children. A second important conclusion is that children who live in regions which experience a poor economic performance over a longer period are, on average, less educated than children who live in more affluent regions. http://econpapers.repec.org/RePEc:ros:wpaper:95 SOEP GB 5707 Edon, Cyriaque and Kamionka, Thierry 2009 Dynamic modeling of fertility and labor market participation of married and cohabiting women European Meeting of the European Economic Association and the Econometric Society (EEA-ESEM) 2009, August, 23-27, 2009 Barcelona Manuscript longitudinal 52 Speech Manuscript fertility, Heterogeneity, panel data, Participation, simulation based estimation We model jointly fertility and participation decisions of the women who live in couple using a dynamic model. We analyze, for the period going from 1994 to 2001, the labor supply and the fertility decision of married or cohabiting women in France, Spain, Germany, United-Kingdom and Denmark. We estimate a dynamic bivariate probit model with random effects using the ECHP (European Community household Panel) and using a simulated maximum likelihood estimator. These estimates are made on an annual basis taking into account the initial conditions problem. The decisions of participation and fertility of women who live in couple depend on the individual characteristics (observed or unobserved) and are characterized by a significant state dependence. Our results suggest that the decisions of employment and fertility cannot be separately modeled. The difference of fertility across these countries is explained by individual characteristics and variations of social and fiscal policies across countries. However, the unobserved components of heterogeneity play a central role in the observed differences across countries. We show the importance of the permanent income component in the participation decision. Random effects are negatively correlated across the equations of the model. Consequently, women who, a priori, prefer to have a higher consumption have weaker preferences for fertility. http://www.eea-esem.com/EEA-ESEM/2009/prog/viewpaper.asp?pid=1567 ECHP GB 5706 Schmitz, Hendrik 2009 Reducing the Number of Doctor Visits by Supply-Side Regulations European Meeting of the European Economic Association and the Econometric Society (EEA-ESEM) 2009, August, 23-27, 2009 Barcelona Manuscript longitudinal 52 Speech Manuscript health, transfer systems count data, differences-in-differences, latent class hurdle model, supplier-induced demand We analyze the effect of the introduction of a fixed budget for the ambulatory care sector in 1993, the introduction of individual practice budgets in 1997, and the tightening of the budget in real terms thereafter on the lengths of treatments of patients using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel over the period from 1985 to 2006.

In addition to income tax, social security contributions and social assistance, we model unemployment insurance benefits which are endogenous with respect to life-cycle employment. Specifically, an individual’s recent employment history determines the duration of eligibility to unemployment insurance benefits while the level of these benefits is tied to previous earnings. We use this framework to study the life-cycle employment effects of transforming a traditional welfare state, as is currently in place in Germany, towards a more Anglo-American system in which the period of entitlement to unemployment insurance payments is reduced and payments do not depend on previous earnings. http://www.eea-esem.com/EEA-ESEM/2009/prog/viewpaper.asp?pid=1219 SOEP GB 5703 Puhani, Patrick A. and Sonderhof, Katja 2009 Switch-On and Switch-Off Effects of Sick Pay Reform on Absence from Work and on Health-Related Outcomes European Meeting of the European Economic Association and the Econometric Society (EEA-ESEM) 2009, Barcelona, 23-27 August 2009 Barcelona Manuscript longitudinal 52 Speech Manuscript labour, health, transfer systems absenteeism, difference-in-differences, health expenditure, hospitalization, intrinsic motivation, natural experiments, quantile regression, Sickness pay We evaluate the switch-on and switch-off effects of a natural experiment that reduced sick pay in Germany from 100 to 80% of the wage rate but that effectively only applied to workers without a collective bargaining agreement. Two years following implementation of the reform, a newly elected federal government repealed it. We estimate the reform’s impact on annual days of absence by applying a difference-in-differences strategy to person-level data from the German Socio-Economic Panel. We find a 2-day reduction in the number of days of absence, almost a quarter of the pre-reform mean. The reform also reduced the average number of days spent in hospital by almost half a day, but at the same time did not have an effect on subjective health outcomes. Quantile regression reveals higher point estimates (both in absolute and relative terms) at higher quantiles, meaning that the reform predominantly reduced long durations of absence. A further analysis of the switch-on and switch-off effects shows higher point estimates for switch-off than switch-on effects. This finding is consistent with experimental evidence on the effect of incentive contracts on voluntary cooperation. http://www.eea-esem.com/EEA-ESEM/2009/prog/viewpaper.asp?pid=311 SOEP GB 5702 Brücker, Herbert and Jahn, Elke J. 2009 Migration and Wage Setting: Reassesing the Labor Effects of Migration Kiel Working Paper No. 1502 Kiel Kiel Institute for the World Economy (IfW) Report citation of SOEP results 30 Discussion Paper "Migration; wage-setting; labor markets; panel data" This paper employs a wage-setting approach to analyze the labor market effects of immigration into Germany. The wage-setting framework relies on the assumption that wages tend to decline with the unemployment rate, albeit imperfectly. This enables us to consider labor market rigidities, which are particularly relevant in Europe. We find that the elasticity of the wage-setting curve is particularly high for young and well-educated workers. The labor market effects of immigration are moderate: a 1 percent increase in the German labor force through immigration increases the unemployment rate by less than 0.1 percentage points and reduces wages by 0.1 percent. http://www.ifw-members.ifw-kiel.de/publications/migration-and-wage-setting-reassessing-the-labor-market-effects-of-migration/BruckerFinal.pdf GB 5701 Kaiser, Ulrich and Wagner, Joachim 2008 Neue Möglichkeiten zur Nutzung vertraulicher amtlicher Personen- und Firmendaten Perspektiven der Wirtschaftspolitik 9 3 329-349 2007: Working Paper Series in Economics No.48, University of Lüneburg.

In this paper, we shed light on the potential channels through which human capital is transmitted from mothers to their children in early childhood. The main channels through which maternal human capital benefit the child's verbal and social skills are birth weight and father's support. Moreover, reading stories to the child is most relevant for the transmision of verbal skills whereas for social skills, a crucial channel for maternal human capital is the attendance of institutional childcare. ftp://ftp.zew.de/pub/zew-docs/dp/dp09038.pdf SOEP GB 5699 Merz, Joachim 2009 Time Use and Time Budgets: Improvements, Future Challenges and Recommendations IZA DP No. 4358 Bonn Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) Report mentions of the SOEP study 30 Discussion Paper miscellaneous time use, time budgets and time use surveys, time use data "Time-use statistics offer a unique tool for exploring a wide range of policy concerns including social change; division of labour; allocation of time for household work; the estimation of the value of household production; transportation; leisure and recreation; pension plans; and health-care programmes, among others (United Nations).

Though this is certainly a progress, however, two important aspects are missing: time as an important dimension and the interdependence of the often only separately counted multiple poverty dimensions. Our paper will contribute to both aspects: First, we consider time – and income – both as striking and restricting resources of everyday activities and hence account for time and income as important multiple poverty dimensions. Second, the interdependence of the poverty dimensions will be evaluated by the German population to allow an advanced approach to understand possible substitution effects and the respective trade offs between the dimensions. Referring to the time dimension, we follow Sen's capability approach with its freedom of the living conditions' choice and social exclusion and argue, that restricted time might exclude from social participation. In particular, restricted genuine, personal leisure time (not entire leisure time) in particular is associated with a restricted social participation. The crucial question then is how to measure the substitution between income and such genuine leisure time. In our analysis we consider the country population’s valuation with data from the German Socio-Economic Panel and estimate the substitution by a CES-utility function of general utility/satisfaction. Given this quantification we disentangle time, income and interdependent multidimensional poverty regimes characterising the working poor. In addition, we quantify further socio-economic influences for each interdependent multidimensional poverty regime by a multinomial logit based on time use diary data of the German Time Use Study 2001/02. One striking result for Germany: the substitution between time and income is significant and we find an important fraction of time poor who are unable to substitute their time deficit by income. These poor people are ignored within the poverty and well-being as well as the time crunch and time famine discussion so far.

Evidence from the Educational Expansion in Western Germany IZA DP No. 4330 Bonn Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) Report mentions of the SOEP study 30 Discussion Paper During the postwar period German states pursued policies to increase the share of young Germans obtaining a university entrance diploma (Abitur) by building more academic track schools, but the timing of educational expansion differed between states. This creates exogenous variation in the availability of higher education, which allows estimating the causal effect of education on health behaviors. Using the number of academic track schools in a state as an instrumental variable for years of schooling, we investigate the causal effect of schooling on health behavior such as smoking and related outcomes such as obesity. We find large negative effects of education on smoking. These effects can mostly be attributed to reductions in starting rates rather than increases in quitting rates. We find no causal effect of education on reduced overweight and obesity. http://ftp.iza.org/dp4330.pdf GB 5696 Brunello, Giorgio 2009 The Effect of Economic Downturns on Apprenticeships and Initial Workplace Training: A Review of the Evidence IZA DP No. 4326 Bonn Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) Report mentions of the SOEP study 30 Discussion Paper The existing empirical evidence on the relationship between apprenticeships, initial workplace training and economic downturns, is relatively scarce. The bottom line of this literature is that ratio of apprentices to employees tends to be (mildly) pro-cyclical and to decline during a recession, with the notable exception of the Great Depression, when it rose (at least in England). When broader measures of training are considered, which exclude apprentices, the weight of the evidence is in favour of counter-cyclical training incidence. This paper suggests that a possible reconciliation of these findings is based on recognizing that firms may have incentives to train incumbents during a downturn and at the same time to reduce the recruitment and training of young employees, who are engaged in the transition from school to work. http://ftp.iza.org/dp4326.pdf GB 5695 Sologon, Denisa Maria and O'Donoghue, Cathal 2009 Increased Opportunity to Move Up the Economic Ladder?

This question is answered by exploring short and long-term wage mobility for males across 14 EU countries between 1994 and 2001 using ECHP. Mobility is evaluated using rank measures which capture positional movements in the distribution of earnings. All countries recording an increase in cross-sectional inequality recorded also a decrease in short-term mobility. Among countries where inequality decreased, short-term mobility increased in Denmark, Spain, Ireland and UK, and decreased in Belgium, France and Ireland. Long-term mobility is higher than short-term mobility, but long-term persistency is still high in all countries. The lowest long-term mobility is found in Luxembourg followed by four clusters: first, Spain, France and Germany; second, Netherlands, and Portugal; third, UK, Italy and Austria; forth, Greece, Finland, Belgium and Ireland.

In this lecture I briefly survey some recent studies aiming to explain why apparently identical women and men receive such different returns and focus especially on those incorporating pyschological factors as an explanation of the gender gap. Research areas with high potential returns to further analysis are identified. Several examples from my own recent experimental work with Patrick Nolen are also presented. These try to distinguish between the role of nature and nurture in affecting behavioural differences between men and women that might lead to gender wage gaps. http://ftp.iza.org/dp4300.pdf ECHP GB 5693 Stichnoth, Holger 2009 The Optimal Choice of a Reference Standard for Income Comparisons: Indirect Evidence from Immigrants' Return Visits ZEW Discussion Paper No. 09-037 Mannheim Centre for European Economic Research 2010: SOEPpaper 264. Berlin: DIW Berlin Report longitudinal 30 Discussion Paper income and poverty, migration, econometrics reference standard, social comparison, immigration, Germany Das vorliegende Papier testet die Vorhersage von Falk und Knell (2004), dass eine höhere Produktivität ceteris paribus zu einem höheren Referenzstandard für Einkommensvergleiche führt. Im Modell von Falk und Knell ergibt sich der optimale Referenzstandard aus einem Trade-off zwischen zwei Motiven: Einerseits profitieren Individuen von einem möglichst niedrigen Referenzstandard, da sie bei einem Vergleich entsprechend positiv abschneiden. Andererseits wirkt laut Falk und Knell ein höherer Referenzstandard motivierend und senkt dadurch die Kosten eines gegebenen Arbeitseinsatzes. In ihrem Modell lässt sich nun zeigen, dass Personen mit höherer Produktivität einen Anreiz haben, auch einen höheren Referenzstandard zu wählen. Diese Vorhersage lässt sich jedoch nicht ohne Weiteres empirisch überprüfen, da der Referenzstandard für Einkommensvergleiche in Datensätzen mit größerer Fallzahl in der Regel nicht beobachtet wird. Die Idee des vorliegenden Papiers ist es nun, zwei indirekte Tests durchzuführen. Diese Tests beruhen auf der Annahme, dass für Einwanderer Besuche in ihren Herkunftsländern einen Einfluss auf den Referenzstandard für Einkommensvergleiche haben. Ich leite die zwei Vorhersagen her, dass (1) Einwanderer mit höherer Ausbildung (als Proxy für die Produktivität) seltener zu Besuchen in ihre Herkunftsländer zurückkehren und (2) dass sie, wenn sie denn zurückkehren, größere Schwierigkeiten haben, sich heimisch zu fühlen. Ich teste die beiden Vorhersagen mit fünf Wellen des Sozio-ökonomischen Panels (SOEP),einem Datensatz mit einer großen Zahl von Beobachtungen zu Einwanderern und mit zahlreichen Variablen zu Themen der Migration. Beide Vorhersagen werden bestätigt. Probit- und Ordered-Probit-Modelle zeigen, dass Einwanderer mit höherer Bildung in der Tat seltener zu Besuchen zurückkehren und dass sie bei ihren Besuchen größere Schwierigkeiten haben, sich heimisch zu fühlen. In allen Modellen sind die Zusammenhänge statistisch signifikant, aber eher schwach. Ein Unterschied von einer Standardabweichung (das heißt, von 2,5 Schuljahren), reduziert die Wahrscheinlichkeit eines Besuches um ungefähr 0.7 Prozentpunkte. Auch für den zweiten Test ergibt sich ein zwar signifikanter, aber nur kleiner Effekt. Andere Variablen, wie etwa das Haushaltseinkommen, die Entfernung zum Herkunftsland oder politische Gründe für die Auswanderung sind deutlich wichtigere Einflussfaktoren. ftp://ftp.zew.de/pub/zew-docs/dp/dp09037.pdf SOEP GB 5692 Dieckhoener, Caroline and Peichl, Andreas 2009 Importing a Successful System? Simulating Different Regimes of Financing Social Security for Germany IZA Policy Paper No. 8 Bonn Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) Report simulation 30 Discussion Paper transfer systems, international comparison social security, welfare states, comparative analysis, EUROMOD In Germany, there is an ongoing debate about how to increase the efficiency of the social security system. The aim of this paper is to simulate different financing systems for Germany with its typical Conservative welfare state regime. For our analysis, we rely on the European static multinational microsimulation model EUROMOD, which provides the opportunity to implement the financing systems of other European countries in Germany (policy swap). The introduction of a Liberal British or the Southern Greek financing system increases inequality and poverty, as well as labour supply incentives. The introduction of the Social-democratic Danish financing system decreases inequality of incomes and leads to ambiguous incentives effects. Our results suggest that there is scope for efficiency increasing reforms in Germany although we do not simulate behavioural responses. http://ftp.iza.org/pp8.pdf EUROMOD GB 5691 Brenke, Karl 2009 Erwerbstätige mit Nebentätigkeiten in Deutschland und Europa Wochenbericht des DIW Berlin 76 35 598-607 Journal Article mentions of the SOEP study 05 DIW Weekly Report Secondary employment, Additional jobs http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.333656.de/09-35-3.pdf D 5690 Lauterbach, Wolfgang and Kramer, Melanie 2009 Vermögen in Deutschland (ViD) - eine qualitative Studie Thomas Druyen, Wolfgang Lauterbach, Matthias Grundmann Reichtum und Vermögen: Zur gesellschaftlichen Bedeutung der Reichtums- und Vermögensforschung Wiesbaden VS Verlag für Sozialwissenschaften 279-294 Book Section mentions of the SOEP study 20 Book Section D 5689 Hartmann, Michael 2009 Reichtum und Eliten im europäischen Vergleich Thomas Druyen, Wolfgang Lauterbach, Matthias Grundmann Reichtum und Vermögen: Zur gesellschaftlichen Bedeutung der Reichtums- und Vermögensforschung Wiesbaden VS Verlag für Sozialwissenschaften 231-241 Book Section mentions of the SOEP study 20 Book Section D 5688 Szydlik, Marc 2009 Reich durch Erbschaft und Schenkung?

Against this backdrop, the present paper investigates the impact of household contexts in which the traditional male breadwinner model has been called into question on individuals’ subjective evaluations of the equity or inequity of their personal earnings. In the first step, based on social production function theory, we derive three criteria used by individuals to evaluate the fairness or justice of their personal earnings: compensation for services rendered, coverage of basic needs, and the opportunity to earn social approval. In the second step, we apply considerations from household economics and new approaches from gender research to explain why men’s and women’s evaluations of justice are determined to a considerable degree by the specific situation within their household—for example, by the status and income relation between the two partners. The assumptions derived regarding gender-specific patterns in justice attitudes are then tested on data from the German Socio-Economic Panel Study (SOEP) from the year 2007. We find that, among women, the perceived justice of personal earnings depends much more strongly on the particular household context. At the same time, opportunities for social comparison within the household and the relation between the woman’s personal income and that of her husband play central roles. Men’s justice evaluations, in contrast, are determined to a much greater extent by whether their income allows them to conform to traditional gender norms and concepts of “masculinity,” and by so doing, to gain social approval outside the household as well. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.338496.de/diw_sp0216.pdf SOEP GB 5680 Liebig, Stefan, Sauer, Carsten, Auspurg, Katrin, Hinz, Thomas and Schupp, Jürgen 2009 A Factorial Survey on the Justice of Earnings Within the SOEP-Pretest 2008 SOEPpapers 239 Berlin DIW Berlin 2009: IZA DP No. 4663.

Analysiert wird zudem, ob Persönlichkeitseigenschaften den Zusammenhang von sozialer Herkunft und Bildungschancen vermitteln. Underachievement bezieht sich auf die Beobachtung, dass die schulischen Ergebnisse von Kindern hinter deren kognitiven Lernpotenzialen zurückbleiben. Die Analysen basieren auf Daten des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP). Sie zeigen, dass das Underachievement-Risiko für Kinder von Eltern ohne akademischen Abschluss deutlich höher ist als für Kinder, bei denen mindestens ein Elternteil über einen akademischen Abschluss verfügt. Ein Ergebnis unserer Analysen ist, dass Persönlichkeitsstrukturen die ungleichen Underachievement-Risiken nicht erklären können. Persönlichkeitsausprägungen haben lediglich einen stärkeren Einfluss auf den Schulerfolg bei Kindern aus Akademiker-Familien. Dies ist vor allem einem Selektionseffekt geschuldet. Dieser Befund sowie die Berücksichtigung von Schulnoten in unseren Analysen deuten darauf hin, dass nicht Leistungsunterschiede, sondern Unterschiede in Bildungsentscheidungen die höhere Underachievement-Risiken von Kindern aus nicht-akademischen Familien verursachen.

Die Wirkung von Beschäftigungsunsicherheit und Arbeitslosigkeit auf die Familiengründung in Ost- und Westdeutschland Zeitschrift für Soziologie 38 5 399 - 418 Journal Article longitudinal 02 SSCI Journal labour, family and networks Vor dem Hintergrund der jüngsten, teils kontroversen wissenschaftlichen Debatte zur Auswirkung ökonomischer Unsicherheit auf die Familiengründung analysieren wir in diesem Beitrag die Fertilitätskonsequenzen der zwei wohl wichtigsten Indikatoren ökonomischer Unsicherheit – befristeter Beschäftigungsverhältnisse und Arbeitslosigkeit – in Ost- und Westdeutschland. Basierend auf Daten des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP) der Jahre 1995-2007 können wir weder für ost- noch für westdeutsche Frauen nachweisen, dass befristete Arbeitsverhältnisse zu einem Aufschub der ersten Mutterschaft führen. Ebenfalls lassen sich keine Wirkungsunterschiede befristeter Beschäftigung nach individuellem Bildungsniveau, dem Qualifikationsgrad der beruflichen Position oder dem Wirtschaftssektor feststellen. Phasen von Arbeitslosigkeit hingegen führen sowohl in Ost- als auch in Westdeutschland zu einer Verschiebung der ersten Geburt. Allerdings unterscheiden sich die Fertilitätsmuster zwischen Ost- und Westdeutschland dahingehend, dass in Westdeutschland Familiengründungen häufig dann verschoben werden, wenn der männliche Partner von Arbeitslosigkeit betroffen ist, während der Prozess der Familiengründung in Ostdeutschland weniger von der Erwerbssituation des männlichen Partners als vielmehr von der Arbeitsmarktlage der Frau betroffen zu sein scheint.

Journal Article longitudinal 02 SSCI Journal income and poverty, subjective indicators, econometrics Seit Mitte des ersten Jahrzehnts des 21. Jahrhunderts wird in der Öffentlichkeit über die Krise der Mittelschicht in Deutschland diskutiert. Behauptet wird, dass sich die Mittelschicht zunehmend vor sozialem Abstieg fürchte. Die Prüfung dieser These steht im Mittelpunkt des Aufsatzes. Dazu werden Befunde aus der Arbeitsmarkt- und der Armutsforschung referiert, denen zufolge Beschäftigungsunsicherheiten, die zu Beginn der 1990er Jahre nur für gering qualifizierte Erwerbspersonen typisch waren, nunmehr auch in Mittelschichtberufe einsickern. Zugleich wird ein Übergreifen von Abstiegsängsten auf Angehörige der Mittelschicht vermutet, die selbst nicht aktuell von Vertragsbefristungen oder unfreiwilligen Erwerbsunterbrechungen betroffen sind („Spill Over“-Effekt). Mithilfe von SOEP-Daten 1984 bis 2007 werden deskriptive und multivariate Analysen unter Verwendung der empfundenen Sorge vor Arbeitsplatzverlust durchgeführt. Deskriptiv wird gezeigt, dass nur das mittlere Segment der Mittelschicht, die durchschnittlich qualifizierten Angestellten mit Routineaufgaben, einen im Zeitverlauf überproportionalen Anstieg an Abstiegsangst aufweisen. Panel-Regressionen zeigen, dass dieser Anstieg auch dann bestehen bleibt, wenn man u. a. den Erwerbskontext, die Branchenzugehörigkeit, den Haushaltskontext und weitere soziodemografische Merkmale eines Befragten berücksichtigt. Im Ergebnis zeigt sich seit Mitte der 1990er Jahre ein zeitlicher Anstieg der Abstiegsangst der mittleren Mitte, der erwerbsstrukturell nicht erklärt werden kann. http://www.fernuni-hagen.de/imperia/md/content/soziologie/soz4/hasg_7.pdf SOEP D 5676 Esser, Hartmut 2009 Pluralisierung oder Assimilation?

Der Hintergrund ist die aktuelle Kontroverse zwischen eher pluralistischen und eher assimilationistischen Ansätzen über die (wechselseitige) Bedeutung ethnischer Ressourcen, wie Sprache, Netzwerke und Identifikation, für die Integration der Migranten, insbesondere auch in Hinsicht auf ihre Arbeitsmarktchancen. Es zeigt sich, dass Mehrfachintegrationen, wie die Bilingualität, ethnisch gemischte Netzwerke oder Hybrid-Identitäten über die „Assimilation“ in der jeweiligen Eigenschaft hinaus keinerlei oder eher sogar negative Einflüsse auf die Integration in das Aufnahmeland, speziell auch auf dem Arbeitsmarkt haben und die ethnische Segmentation immer von Nachteil ist. Mindestens in dieser Hinsicht scheint kaum etwas für die Hypothesen der pluralistischen Positionen zu sprechen. SOEP D 5675 Schupp, Jürgen 2009 25 Jahre Sozio-oekonomisches Panel – Ein Infrastrukturprojekt der empirischen Sozial- und Wirtschaftsforschung in Deutschland Zeitschrift für Soziologie 38 5 350-357 Journal Article mentions of the SOEP study 02 SSCI Journal methods Die Längsschnittstudie Sozio-oekonomisches Panel (SOEP) stellt seit nunmehr 25 Jahren für die sozial-, verhaltens- und wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Grundlagenforschung Mikrodaten bereit. Der Beitrag präsentiert einen Überblick dieser national wie international bedeutsamen Infrastruktureinrichtung der empirischen Sozialforschung und verdeutlicht, dass die Daten des SOEP in zweifacher Hinsicht von besonderem soziologischen Interesse sind. Einmal erlauben sie eine jährlich wiederholbare repräsentative Situationsanalyse, die auch die Veränderungsprozesse deutlich macht und damit einen Beitrag zur Beschreibung des sozialen Wandels in Deutschland leistet. Zum anderen bieten die Daten die Basis, um theoretische Erklärungsansätze für das Verhalten von Individuen, von Haushalten, von Gruppen und Gesellschaften zu testen und damit zu einer empirisch fundierten Theorieentwicklung beizutragen. Seit 1988 werden regelmäßig Beiträge, die auf dem SOEP als Datenbasis beruhen, in der Zeitschrift für Soziologie veröffentlicht. Es wird dargelegt, dass nicht nur der Anteil quantitativ-empirisch ausgerichteter Beiträge in der ZfS in den letzten 20 Jahren stetig gewachsen, sondern auch der „Gesamt-Impact“ des SOEP an der Zeitschrift nachhaltig gestiegen ist. Das SOEP ist mit 34 Beiträgen mittlerweile der mit Abstand wichtigste Mikrodatensatz für quantitativ ausgerichtete Beiträge in der Zeitschrift für Soziologie.

Zeitschrift für Soziologie 38 3 215-238 Journal Article longitudinal 02 SSCI Journal labour, income and poverty Legitimiert durch den Verweis auf Prozesse der Globalisierung wurden in Deutschland seit Beginn der 1990er Jahre sozial- und arbeitsmarktpolitische Reformen implementiert, die, direkt oder indirekt, auf den Ausbau des Niedriglohnsektors abzielen. Trotzdem konnte in vielen Studien zum „Working Poor“ – Problem kein tief greifender Wandel der materiellen Lebensbedingungen von Erwerbstätigen nachgewiesen werden. Dies ist darauf zurückzuführen, dass etablierte Erwerbstätige durch institutionelle Mechanismen weitestgehend vor den Auswirkungen der Reformen (bzw. vor einer Abwertung ihrer Arbeitsmarktposition) geschützt sind. Dieser Schutz besteht allerdings nicht für Personen, die nicht durch vorgelagerte Erwerbstätigkeit abgesichert sind. Dementsprechend zeigen empirische Analysen auf der Basis des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP), dass sich niedrig entlohnte Beschäftigung und Armut insbesondere unter Einsteigern auf dem Arbeitsmarkt (aus dem Bildungssystem und bei Übergängen aus der Erwerbslosigkeit) ausgebreitet haben. Die Risiken dieser Gruppen sind in Relation zu allen Erwerbstätigen zwischen 1991 und 2006 überproportional angestiegen.

Return migration in later life engages a different set of conditions than return migration earlier on, including framing return as a possible retirement strategy. Using data from the German Socioeconomic Panel, results suggest that later-life emigrants are “negatively selected” on the basis of economic resources. However, family resources such as spousal characteristics and ties to kin in “home” and “host” countries also shape decisions to return. Results from this paper highlight the broader importance of framing return migration within the processes of international migration and immigrant incorporation. http://papers.ccpr.ucla.edu/papers/PWP-CCPR-2009-019/PWP-CCPR-2009-019.pdf CNEF GB 5672 Kühne, Anja 2009 Überraschend klug - Viele Schüler ohne studierte Eltern haben ein hohes Potenzial - kommen aber nicht aufs Gymnasium Der Tagesspiegel, 27.

We assess the income and wealth packages of older women’s (age 65+ years) households and the extent to which low income is paired with low wealth, across a group of six high-income countries. Methods. We use data on income and net worth from the Luxembourg Wealth Study, a new cross-national microdatabase. We define income poverty as having household income less than 50% of the national median and asset poverty as holding financial assets equivalent to less than 6 months of income at the poverty threshold. Results. Older women typically have less income than do members of younger households at the national median, but their wealth holdings are generally much higher than their country’s median wealth holdings. Older women’s households in the United States report the highest net worth across these countries, in part because older American women have comparatively high rates of homeownership. However, American older women are also substantially more likely to be income poor. They also report high levels of asset poverty, as do women across all our comparison countries, with Sweden as a partial exception. Discussion. Further research is needed to identify the most vulnerable subgroups, to integrate analyses of necessary expenditures, and to assess policy implications .

We interpret early retirement as a mechanism to limit work-related declines in health that allows poorer and less healthy workers to maximize the total discounted value of annuities received from Germany’s pay-as-you-go pension system. Investments in new medical technology and better access to existing health services may help to curb the need for early retirement and thus improve efficiency, especially amid population ageing. To value the potential gains, we calibrate an intertemporal model based on ex post predictions from stratified duration regressions for individual retirement timing. We conclude that eliminating the correlation between income and health decline would delay the average age of retirement by approximately half a year, while keeping all workers in the highest of five categories of self assessed health would yield a further delay of up to three years. Had this scenario been realized during our 1992–2005 sample period, we estimate the social costs of early retirement would have been more than 20 percent lower, even without counting the direct social benefits from better health. http://www.ifw-members.ifw-kiel.de/publications/the-social-costs-of-health-related-early-retirement-in-germany-evidence-from-the-german-socio-economic-panel/KWP%201415%20Hostenkamp-Stolpe.pdf Soep Gb 5665 Frick, Joachim R. and Grabka, Markus M. 2009 Zur Entwicklung der Vermögensungleichheit in Deutschland Berliner Journal für Soziologie 19 4 577 - 600 10.1007/s11609-009-0112-1 Journal Article longitudinal 02 SSCI Journal income and poverty Vermögensungleichheit, Vermögensmobilität, Vermögensakkumulation, SOEP, Wealth inequality, Wealth mobility, Wealth accumulation Einkommensungleichheit und relative Einkommensarmut dominieren seit langem die sozialpolitische Diskussion in Deutschland, während – auch aus Gründen eingeschränkter Datenverfügbarkeit – die personelle Vermögensverteilung vergleichsweise unzureichend erforscht ist. Der vorliegende Beitrag nutzt Mikrodaten des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP) und stützt sich dabei auf individuelle Angaben zum Geld- und Sachvermögen der Jahre 2002 und 2007. Innerhalb dieses 5-Jahreszeitraums hat die Konzentration der Vermögen ebenso wie die der Einkommen deutlich zugenommen.

There are various reasons for the difference. More and more women are gainfully employed; they engage in part-time and marginal employment, both of which are on the rise. The importance of full-time employment has declined. This accounts for most of the reduction in their average workweek, which decreased by 2.3 hours to 31.9 hours between 1993 and 2007. The full-time employment of men also declined, in both relative and absolute terms-unlike their average workweek, which, according to data provided by the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP), totaled 43.3 hours per week in 2007. This is 0.8 hours more than in 1993. Overall, the working time of male and female wage and salary earners in West Germany and of such earners in East Germany have converged, though not the number of working hours preferred by women in the two regions. These numbers remain considerably higher in East Germany than in West Germany. The differences are most pronounced among women who work part-time. In East Germany, the women who this applies to often find that this form of employment provides too low a level of work. Long workweeks exceeding 40 hours are not very popular in either part of Germany-not even among men, at least half of whom work that long, though only 17 percent of them do so by preference." http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_02.c.298980.de/diw_wr_2009-19.pdf SOEP GB 5663 Fuchs-Schündeln, Nicola and Schündeln, Matthias 2009 Who stays, who goes, who returns?

We find that in addition to income prospects and employment status, two well-known determinants of migration, psychological and social factors play an important role in determining the migration decision. Men and women move from East to West in proportionate numbers, but among individuals who lived in the East in 1989 women are more likely to migrate. The migrant body in the second wave of migration, starting in the late 1990s, is increasingly composed of young, educated people. By focusing on differences between temporary and permanent migrants, we find that older and single individuals are more likely to return East than stay permanently in the West, compared with younger and married individuals. Finally, the life satisfaction of permanent migrants increases significantly after a move, while that of temporary migrants remains essentially flat. http://www.wiwi.uni-frankfurt.de/professoren/fuchs/staff/fuchs/paper9.pdf SOEP GB 5662 Mayraz, Guy, Wagner, Gert G. and Schupp, Jürgen 2009 Life Satisfaction and Relative Income - Perceptions and Evidence SOEPpapers 214 Berlin DIW Berlin 2009: IZA Discussion Paper 4390. Bonn: Institute for the Study of Labour (IZA) Report cross-sectional 30 Discussion Paper income and poverty, subjective indicators Income Comparisons, Relative Income, Life Satisfaction, German Socio Economic Panel Study, SOEP Using a unique dataset we study both the actual and self-perceived relationship between subjective well-being and income comparisons against a wide range of potential comparison groups, enabling us to investigate a broader range of questions than in previous studies. In questions inserted into a 2008 module of the German-Socio Economic Panel Study we ask subjects to report (a) how their income compares to various groups, such a co-workers, friends, and neighbours, and (b) how important these income comparisons are to them. We find substantial gender differences, with income comparisons being much better predictors of subjective well-being in men than in women. Generic (same-gender) comparisons are the most important, followed by within profession comparisons. Once generic and within-profession comparisons are controlled for, income relative to neighbours has a negative coefficient, implying that living in a high-income neighbourhood increases happiness. The perceived importance of income comparisons is found to be uncorrelated with its actual relationship to subjective well-being, suggesting that people are unconscious of its real impact. Subjects who judge comparisons to be important are, however, significantly less happy than subjects who see income comparisons as unimportant. Finally, the marginal effect of relative income on subjective well-being does not depend on whether a subject is below or above the reference group income. http://ftp.iza.org/dp4390.pdf, http://www.diw.de/sixcms/detail.php?id=diw_01.c.333831.de SOEP GB 5661 Ziebarth, Nicolas R. 2010 Estimating Price Elasticities of Convalescent Care Programs Economic Journal 120 545 816-844 "2009: ""Do I really need to go to rehab?

In Germany, the Statutory Health Insurance (SHI) covers both forms of therapy if administered in authorized medical facilities on referral from a physician. While health resort stays are prescribed to recover from general symptoms of poor health and are preventive in character, medical rehabilitation implies recovering from a specific illness or accident. From 1997 onwards, the German government more than doubled the copayments for both types of health care services from DM 12 (e6.14) to DM 25 (e12.78) per day for those insured under the SHI. Using longitudinal microdata from the German Socio-Economic Panel Study (SOEP), this exogenous price variation allows us to study the causal effects on demand, since we have a sound control group available. The data suggest that pull-forward effects in 1996 accounted for up to one-fifth of the subsequent decrease in demand. Taking this anticipation effect into account, we show that the reform induced a decrease in total demand of about 20 percent. We estimate the price elasticity for rehabilitation programs that aim at preventing work incapacity to be about -0.15, whereas the elasticity for rehabilitation programs for recovery from work accidents lies around -0.30. In contrast, the price elasticity for treatment at health spas is elastic and lies between -1 and -2.5. http://www.diw.de/sixcms/detail.php?id=diw_02.c.242839.de SOEP GB 5660 Ziebarth, Nicolas R. 2010 Measurement of health, health inequality, and reporting heterongeneity Social Science & Medicine 71 1 116-124 2009: Measurement of Health, the Sensitivity of the Concentration Index, and Reporting Heterogeneity.

The highest degree of inequality is found when dichotomized subjective health measures like health satisfaction or self-assessed health (SAH) are employed. With the use of SF12, a generic health measure, the inequality indicator is reduced by a factor of ten. We show that the process of dichotomizing variables leads to such huge differences. Cardinalizing SAH by means of the SF12 leads to similar results to those with the pure SF12 measure. Employing generic health measures used with other populations like the Canadian HUI-III or the Finnish 15D to cardinalize SAH has a significant impact on the degree of inequality measured. Finally, by contrasting the physical health component of the SF12 to the unambiguously objective grip strength measure, we provide evidence of the presence of income-related reporting heterogeneity in generic health measures. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/100331/diw_sp0211.pdf SOEP GB 5659 Layard, Richard, Mayraz, Guy and Nickell, Stephen J. 2009 Does Relative Income Matter?

And does this help to explain why in the U.S., Germany and some other advanced countries, happiness has been constant for many decades? The answer to both questions is ‘Yes’. We provide 4 main pieces of evidence. 1) In the U.S. General Survey (repeated samples since 1972) comparator income has a negative effect on happiness equal in magnitude to the positive effect of own income. 2) In the West German Socio-Economic Panel since 1984 the same is true but with life satisfaction as the dependant variable. We also use the Panel to compare the effect of income comparisons and of adaptation as factors explaining the stable level of life-satisfaction: income comparisons emerge as much the more important. 3) When in our U.S. analysis we introduce “perceived” relative income as a potential explanatory variable, its effect is as large as the effect of actual relative income – further supporting the view that comparisons matter. 4) Finally, for a panel of European countries since 1973 we estimate the effect of average income upon average lifesatisfaction, splitting income into two components: trend and cycle. The effect of trend income is small and illdefined. Our conclusions relate to time series and to advanced countries only. They differ from those drawn in recent studies by Deaton and Stevenson/Wolfers, but those studies are largely cross-sectional and mostly include non-advanced as well as advanced countries. http://d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:cep:cepdps:dp0918&r=ltv, http://www.diw.de/sixcms/detail.php?id=diw_02.c.242706.de SOEP GB 5658 Beblo, Miriam 2009 Buchbesprechung: Kasten, Tanja, Monetäre und nicht-monetäre Effekte von Erwerbsunterbrechungen Jahrbücher für Nationalökonomie und Statistik 229 4 516-517 Journal Article mentions of the SOEP study 02 SSCI Journal D 5657 Bartling, Björn, Fehr, Ernst, Fischer, Barbara, Kosse, Fabian, Maréchal, Michel André, Pfeiffer, Friedhelm, Schunk, Daniel, Schupp, Jürgen, Spiess, C.

Die Pilotstudie zu den Zeitpräferenzen im Vorschulalter wurde in einer Kooperation vom IEW Zürich, SOEP Berlin und ZEW Mannheim durchgeführt. Das Verhalten wird in einem Experiment beobachtet, bei dem sich die Kinder zwischen einer Belohnung, welche sofort erhältlich ist und einer größeren Belohnung, auf die sie warten müssen, entscheiden können. Das Experiment wurde in der Wohnung der Familie durchgeführt. Ein zweites Experiment diente dazu, die Zeitpräferenzen der Mütter zu erfassen. Der Belohnungsaufschub gilt als wichtige Vorstufe für die Ausbildung der Handlungskontrolle, die wiederum eine Grundlage für den Schul- und Arbeitsmarkterfolg und die Integration in die Gesellschaft ist. Aus ökonomischer Sicht haben Zeitpräferenzen eine herausgehobene Bedeutung für alle Investitions- und Sparentscheidungen, insbesondere auch für die Investitionen in Bildung und das Humankapital. Aus Sicht der Bildungspolitik ist beispielsweise die Frage von erheblicher Bedeutung, ob und ggf. in welcher Entwicklungsphase man die Ausdauer und Geduld von Kindern und damit das Leistungsvermögen verbessern kann. Im Kontext dieser Diskussion wird in der Forschung vermehrt das Verhalten im Vorschulalter untersucht, da grundlegende kognitive und nicht-kognitive Fähigkeiten im Kindesalter den Schulerfolg prognostizieren. Die vorliegende Studie möchte dazu beitragen, eine wichtige Forschungslücke zu schließen, da über die Determinanten von Zeitpräferenzen von Kindern im Vorschulalter und deren Müttern bisher wenig Evidenz vorliegt. Zusammenfassend bestätigt die Pilotstudie, dass die Geduld von Kindern bereits im Vorschulalter eine signifikante Varianz aufweist. Während fast 80% der Kinder geduldig erscheinen, sind ca. 20% der Kinder in diesem Alter aufgrund des experimentellen Tests eher ungeduldig. Unsere Ergebnisse verdeutlichen, dass mit ansteigendem Alter die Geduld zunimmt. Bessere verbale Fähigkeiten und Geduld sind positiv miteinander korreliert. Keinen Zusammenhang mit der Geduld weisen das Geschlecht, die Anzahl Kinder im Haushalt, das Haushaltseinkommen sowie der Besuch einer Bildungseinrichtung auf. Jedoch deuten die Ergebnisse darauf hin, dass eine geduldigere Mutter sowie eine längere Stilldauer im Säuglingsalter die Wahrscheinlichkeit geduldig zu sein erhöht. Die frühe Eltern-Kind-Interaktion scheint demnach auch im Bereich der Zeitpräferenz die ""Wiege des Handelns"" zu sein." http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/100060/diw_sp0203.pdf, ftp://ftp.zew.de/pub/zew-docs/dp/dp09069.pdf SOEP D 5656 Schultz, Tanjev 2009 Falscher Schultyp - Eine Studie deutet darauf hin, dass fast jeder dritte Schüler im Unterricht stark über- oder unterfordert ist Süddeutsche Zeitung, 28.

Currently important research questions call not only for data sources that collect detailed information on adult education with repeated measurements and in different cohorts, but they should also include data on other life spheres such as education and working histories, partnership and household information, as well as competence development. In Germany, there are several large-scale datasets containing information on adult education. While general panel studies do not provide a systematic overview of educational activities of adults, studies focusing on adult education are either small-scale or cross-sectional and contain little context information. A study that covers information on all educational activities in the life course as well as repeated competence assessment is still missing. In part, these deficits will be resolved by large-scale longitudinal studies focused on adults and education that were either recently conducted or are currently prepared. Thus, we do not call for new data sources on adult education. What is far more important in the next years is analyzing the data of the new large-scale data sources thoroughly, but also developing new theoretical approaches to adult education. http://www.ratswd.de/download/RatSWD_WP_2009/RatSWD_WP_91.pdf GB 5653 Doblhammer, Gabriele and Hoffmann, Rasmus 2009 Gender Differences in Trajectories of Health Limitations and Subsequent Mortality.

Moreover, there are no studies on the relationship between course types and subsequent mortality. We investigate course types, explore confounding by socioeconomic and demographic correlates, and pose the question of whether the gender gap in morbidity results from differences in the onset of, and/or survival with, health limitations. Methods: Using the German Socioeconomic Panel, we identify individual trajectories of health limitations and use multinomial logistic regressions to explore confounding and the relationship with mortality. Results: The frequency of stable trajectories without limitations is lower among women because they tend to experience courses that involve extended periods of limitations and deteriorating health. Women also experience more frequently improvement after deterioration. The female mortality advantage is particularly large after health deterioration. Discussion: Health limitations do not make men and women more equal in the face of death. Our results are consistent with earlier studies showing that mortality selection and differences in chronic conditions may explain the gender gap in health and mortality. We extend previous research showing that the female health disadvantage is largely the result of their mortality advantage.

Trust is measured by the general trust question like in most other economic studies based on surveys. We find that strict working time regulations, monitoring and lack of autonomy – all indicators for control at the workplace – are negatively related to trust. Moreover, we contribute to the literature on trust by gathering hints to other potential determinants of trust. http://ftp.iza.org/dp4297.pdf SOEP GB 5650 Meinhardt, Volker and Grabka, Markus 2009 Grundstruktur eines universellen Alterssicherungssystems mit Mindestrente Diskussionspapier des Gesprächskreises Sozialpolitik der Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung Bonn Friedrich Ebert Stiftung Report cross-sectional 30 Discussion Paper income and poverty, transfer systems http://library.fes.de/pdf-files/wiso/06545.pdf SOEP D 5649 Geyer, Johannes and Steiner, Viktor 2009 Zahl der Riester-Renten steigt sprunghaft - aber Geringverdiener halten sich noch zurück Wochenbericht des DIW Berlin 76 32 534-541 Journal Article cross-sectional 05 DIW Weekly Report transfer systems SOEP, Trust, Social capital "Vertrauen ist in den letzten Jahren zu einem ambivalenten Schlüsselbegriff geworden, der in Debatten um den vermeintlichen Vertrauensverlust im öffentlichen Leben wie gegenüber Politikern und Institutionen aufgegriffen wird.

Their ethnic identity being questioned, they can be classified into four states – assimilation, integration, separation and marginalization. This is suggested by the ethnosizer, a newly established measure to parameterize a person's ethnic identity, using individual information on language, culture, societal interaction, history of migration, and ethnic self-identification. In what state individuals end up varies among immigrants even from the same country. Moreover, the quest for ethnic identity affects women and men differentially. This paper contends that ethnic identity can significantly affect the attachment to and performance of immigrants in the host country labor market, beyond human capital and ethnic origin characteristics. Empirical estimates for immigrants in Germany show that ethnic identity is important for the decision to work and significantly and differentially affects the labor force participation of men and women. Women who exhibit the integrated identity are more likely to work than women who are German assimilated; this does not hold for men. However, once we control for selection in the labor market and a slew of individual and labor market characteristics, ethnic identity does not significantly affect the earnings of men or women immigrant workers." http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.100081.de/dp908.pdf , http://ftp.iza.org/dp4275.pdf SOEP GB 5644 Kratzmann, Jens and Schneider, Thorsten 2008 Verbessert der Besuch des Kindergartens die Startchancen von Kindern aus sozial schwachen Familien im Schulsystem?

Going beyond the scope of the existing literature, I jointly evaluate the effect of individual religiosity and regional religious context by means of multilevel analysis. The results suggest that there is a double positive effect of Protestantism: Not only do Protestants tend to be more trusting, but a Protestant context also increases one's trust - regardless of individual religious beliefs. Furthermore, while church attendance is a powerful predictor for social trust, a context effect for regional levels of devoutness could not be detected. Lastly, religious diversity is not shown to decrease social trust. SOEP GB 5638 Hartung, Anne and Neels, Karel 2009 Destination Manual Worker or Clerk?

To do this we implement a discrete-state Markov chain to model the dynamics of the cross-sectional income distribution of migrants and natives in Germany. Bayesian methods allow us to fully characterize the limiting cross-sectional income distribution for migrants and natives, enabling us to compare our measures of assimilation in the limiting case. We find no evidence in this sample of income assimilation for migrants to Germany.

This policy mainly targets low-income households. Using data from the German Socio-economic Panel, we scrutinize the impact of the Riester scheme on private savings. The introduction of the Riester scheme is treated as a natural experiment. Estimation results cast some doubts on the effectiveness of the Riester scheme and call for enhanced efforts to evaluate that policy.

These assessments conclude that European countries with contributory pension schemes provide retirees with higher living standards than liberal Anglo-American regimes in which many citizens rely on flat rate old age pensions. Comparisons based solely on pension incomes are potentially misleading because the living standards of retirees depend on their total economic resources, particularly their wealth. In this paper we make use of the wealth data in the German (SOEP) and Australian (HILDA) panels. Our revised 'present value' estimates of wealth suggest that Australian and German retirees have approximately the same living standards (mean and median), with much the same distribution (Gini).

Both insurance types provide fee-for-service insurance, but chargeable fees for identical services are more than twice as large for privately insured as for statutorily insured patients. Using German SOEP 2002 data, I analyze the effect of insurance status on the insured's number of doctor visits. Conditional on health, privately insured patients are less likely to contact a physician than publicly insured but more frequently visit a doctor following a first contact. This is indirect evidence for the hypothesis that physicians over-treat privately insured patients at least relative to the statutorily insured.

As a proxy of economic well-being household income both adjusted and unadjusted for household needs has been generally used. The aim of the present paper is to propose a more comprehensive measure of well-being considering the role that wealth and permanent income play in simultaneously determining satisfaction with life. The results, based on representative microdata from the German Socio-Economic Panel Study (SOEP), suggest that both income and wealth increase satisfaction, that long-run income is more appropriate than short-term income and that satisfaction with life is particularly high for those who are at the top of both the income and wealth distributions.

The baseline results confirm the U-shaped relationship between life satisfaction and age, which has been found in many case studies by economists and others. Furthermore, the functional flexibility allows us to detect a second turning point later in life. Finally, some methodological issues are discussed and robustness checks are performed to further understand the observed relationship. The paper tries to emphasize the usefulness of the longitudinal set-up of the SOEP to examine life cycle patterns. http://ssrn.com/abstract=1360731 SOEP GB 5631 Fouarge, Didier and Muffels, Ruud 2009 Working Part-Time in the British, German and Dutch Labour Market: Scarring for the Wage Career?

Proceedings of the 8th International Socio-Economic Panel User Conference 129 2 217-226 10.3790/schm.129.2.217 Journal Article longitudinal 03 Refereed Journal labour, international comparison The paper studies the long-term effect of part-time employment on the wage career using panel data for three countries. The main idea is to study the possible 'scarring' effects of part-time employment on future hourly wages up to ten years later in the career. Fixed effects panel wage regressions show the existence of a part-time wage penalty for females in all three countries and for males in the UK. Longer durations of part-time result in stronger negative wage effects. In the UK, a negative effect of past part-time employment is also found to persist even after a lasting transition to a full-time job. The fact that the effect of part-time on wage is larger in the UK suggests that wage penalties, contrary to what could be expected, are smaller in regulated labour markets with a specific skills regime.

This has been largely attributed to their prevalence as secondary earners playing a minor role in job-related mobility decisions of the household. Yet the impact of regional opportunity structures in determining labour market outcomes of mobile coupled females has been neglected, although recent studies suggest the significance of this aspect. Using the SOEP 1992-2006 the following analysis investigates the consequences of mobility for women taking into account the economic structure of the destination region.

The theoretical framework is based on the literature on skill-biased technological change (SBTC) and on structural theory. Analyses draw on descriptive measures of the development of wage inequality among blue- and white-collar workers as well as on regression analyses of individual and structural determinants of wages for the years 1985 to 2006. The results show that wage inequality remained fairly constant until the early 1990s, but started to increase from the mid-1990s onwards. Moreover, regression analyses reveal that this increase was paralleled by rising inter-class wage differentials, while returns to (higher) education decreased.

The influence of child care institutions should be stronger when children attend them at younger ages, and it should vary according to the children's social origins. When parents' cultural resources are low, care institutions should have large additional positive effects on children's development. The empirical analysis of over 1,100 children and their parents taking part in the Socio-Economic Panel Study (SOEP) showed compensatory effects of early child care attendance that enabled children with low-educated parents to avoid delayed school entry at Age 6.

A central reason for this difference is the fact that the relationship between parental education and gender-specific rates of tertiary degrees has not changed over time in Germany as it has in the U.S. The lack of change in Germany is consistent with both environmental and family resource explanations for the reversal in the U.S., and provides additional support for resource and incentive-based theories of the female-favorable trends in rates of higher education completion in much of the industrialized world.

If the educational expansion in West Germany has gained such a momentum, it has to be proven empirically that the respective generation of parents - who themselves had profited from the educational expansion - pass on their (higher) educational aspirations to their children. In this paper, this already forgotten issue in the research of status attainment has been revitalized. Analyses with large-scale longitudinal data such as German life history data or German socio-economic panel data provide evidence that there is sustainability of educational expansion across three generations. Some of the limitations of the data and the analysis has been discussed in order to motivate the scientific community to gather advanced information on intergenerational transmission of educational opportunities.

An efficient generalized instrumental variables estimator proposed by Hausman and Taylor (1981) is employed in a Mincer-type wage equation, which is estimated on recent data taken from the German Socio-Economic Panel. The estimated wage patterns yield approximations of the required divergence between the tax rates on labor and capital income for the case of university graduates. The required surcharges are sizable and exceed the ones prevailing under the current German income tax system.

By relational goods we indicate the affective/expressive, non instrumental, side of interpersonal relationships. The homo oeconomicus view of human nature is questioned by the recent upsurge of empirical studies on the determinants of self declared happiness, that show that an increasing income does not always lead to more subjective well being ( Easterlin's famous (1974)'paradox of happiness'). The theoretical literature on relational goods has isolated various mechanisms which may induce an under-consumption and under- production of relational goods. The hypothesis we test is that people with a more intense relational life are less affected by this 'relational poverty trap' and are therefore happier. Our findings does not disprove our hypothesis: relational goods turn out to have significant and positive effects on self declared life satisfaction, when other determinants isolated in the literature as important are taken into account and when the inverse causality nexus i.e. from more happiness to a more intense relational life is also taken into account. Finally, we show that gender, age and education matter and in particular that the effects of sociability on happiness are stronger for women, older and less educated individuals. These findings can be useful in designing and evaluating public policies with a direct or indirect effect on the quality and quantity of relational goods."

Identifying and targeting groups which are especially affected by worries might be one way to reduce the total costs of these two types of insecurity. However, compared to the drivers of the fear of crime, the determinants of concerns regarding global terrorism are less well known. Using nationally representative survey data, we analyse and compare the individual determinants of concern about global terrorism and crime, and show that worries about terrorism are driven by similar determinants as those about crime, which could have important policy implications. We furthermore provide an insight into the structure of the determinants of concerns regarding other public and private goods. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/99785/dp904.pdf, http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.100022.de/diw_sp0206.pdf SOEP GB 5613 Bundesministerium für Familie, Senioren, Frauen und Jugend (Hrsg.), 2008 Lebenslagen von Familien und Kindern.

We establish wage penalties for motherhood between 9% and 18% per child, with wage losses among American and British mothers being lower than those experienced by mothers in Germany. Labor market mechanisms generating the observed wage penalty for motherhood differ markedly across countries, however. For British and American women, work interruptions and subsequent mobility into mother-friendly jobs fully account for mothers’ wage losses. In contrast, respective penalties are considerably smaller in Germany, yet we observe a substantial residual wage penalty that is unaccounted for by mothers’ observable labor market behavior. We interpret this finding as indicating a comparatively more pronounced role for statistical discrimination against mothers in the German labor market.

The analysis is based on an education production function that controls for parental background and regional variation in the educational system. The analysis confirms the hypothesis, that kindergarten attendance can have a long-lasting positive effect on educational chances. In four of six specifications a longer attendance of early childhood care and education increases the probability of attending a higher level secondary school. However, there are diminishing returns to early childhood education.

Berlin: DIW Berlin Book Section longitudinal 20 Book Section health, subjective indicators Late-Life Well-Being, SOEP, BHPS, HRS Throughout adulthood and old age, levels of well-being appear to remain relatively stable. In this chapter, we argue that focusing on a phase of life during which this positive picture does not necessarily prevail promises to help us better understand between-person disparities in the progression of late-life well-being. In a first step, we review empirical evidence from the German Socio-Economic Panel and other large-scale longitudinal data sets to demonstrate that ubiquitous reports of a “stability-despite-loss phenomenon” of well-being do not generalize into years of life immediately preceding death. Instead, mean-level representations of the end of life are characterized by a rapid deterioration in well-being. In a second step, we highlight the vast heterogeneity in how people experience the last years and consider the role of biopsychosocial individual difference factors to account for such disparities. The select factors reviewed here include socio-demographic characteristics, cognitive fitness, pathology, and disability. In a third step, we argue that macro-contextual factors such as the social, service, and physical characteristics of the communities and societies people are living and dying in also profoundly shape the nature and progression of individual late-life well-being. Our conceptual reasoning forecasts some of the insights that can be gained by pursuing this line of research, but also underscores the challenges researchers must deal with. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/99454/diw_sp0200.pdf SOEP GB 5597 Holst, Elke and Busch, Anne 2009 Glass Ceiling Effect and Earnings - The Gender Pay Gap in Managerial Positions in Germany SOEPpapers 201 Berlin DIW Berlin 2009: DIW Discussion Paper 905. Berlin: DIW Berlin Report cross-sectional 31 DIW Discussion Paper labour, gender, income and poverty Gender pay gap, managerial positions, segregation, Oaxaca/Blinder decomposition, Heckman correction Although there are a variety of studies on the gender pay gap, only a few relate to managerial positions. The present study attempts to fill this gap. Managers in private companies in Germany are a highly selective group of women and men, who differ only marginally in their human capital endowments. The Oaxaca/Blinder decomposition shows that the gender pay gap in the gross monthly salary can hardly be explained using the human capital approach. Adding variables on gender-specific labor market segregation and dimensions of the household and family to the model allows more than two-thirds of the gender pay gap to be explained. However, taking selection effects in a managerial position into account (Heckman correction), the proportion explained decreases to only one-third. This reveals the real extent to which women are disadvantaged on the labor market. In addition, we observe not only that the wages in typical women’s jobs are lower than in typical men’s jobs but also that women are paid less than men in typical women’s jobs. The two-thirds of the gender pay gap that remain unexplained represent the unobserved heterogeneity. This includes, for example, general societal and cultural conditions as well as structures and practices on the labor market and in companies that subject women to pay discrimination and pose an obstacle to them breaking the glass ceiling. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/99456/diw_sp0201.pdf SOEP GB 5596 Block, Jörn H., Sandner, Philipp, Wagner, Marcus and Weiglein, Marc 2009 Unternehmensgründungen von Ausländern in Deutschland: Einkommenseffekte und Implikationen für die Gründungslehre SOEPpapers 196 Berlin DIW Berlin Report cross-sectional 35 Other DIW Publications labour, income and poverty, migration Self-employment, SOEP, Foreigners, Germany, Earnings, Entrepreneurship Education The paper uses data from the German Socio-Economic Panel Study (SOEP) to analyze start-ups by foreigners in Germany. The regression results are the following: First, foreigners in self-employment are found to earn more than foreigners in a regular employment position. Second, foreigners seem to gain more from self-employment relative to Germans. The earnings increase from self-employment is larger for foreigners than it is for Germans. The findings are discussed from a policy and an entrepreneurship education perspective. We argue that there is a great potential for entrepreneurship education targeting foreigners. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/99430/diw_sp0196.pdf SOEP D 5595 Scervini, Francesco 2009 The Empirics of the Median Voter: Democracy, Redistribution and the Role of the Middle Class Luxembourg Income Study Working Paper No. 516 Luxembourg Luxembourg Income Study (LIS) Report cross-sectional 30 Discussion Paper transfer systems, miscellaneous The paper investigates the effectiveness of the median voter as a decisive agent in the process of redistribution. According to the previous literature, it tests several assumptions finding interesting results: The positive relation between inequality and redistribution is confirmed, but the median voter theorem seems not to be the driving force of this mechanism. Even if some results support the median voter hypotheses, many others go in the opposite direction. Moreover, results are in support of the presence of a political bias toward rich classes, particularly in non established democracies. Finally, the elasticity of redistribution to poor classes to their income has decreased over the last decade, suggesting a reduction of the policies in support of low income individuals. http://www.lisproject.org/publications/liswps/516.pdf LIS GB 5594 Braakmann, Nils 2009 Other-regarding preferences, spousal disability and happiness: Evidence from German couples SOEPpapers 194 Berlin DIW Berlin Report longitudinal 35 Other DIW Publications family and networks, health, subjective indicators disability, subjective well-being, other-regarding preferences This paper considers the impact of adverse health shocks that hit an individual’s partner on subjective well-being. Using data on couples from the German Socio-Economic Panel for the years 1984 to 2006, I compare the losses in well-being caused by own and spousal disability using panel-regressions. I find that women and to a lesser extent men are harmed by spousal disability which is consistent with the existence of other-regarding preferences within couples. The magnitude of effects suggests that spousal disability is about one quarter to one half as harmful as individual disability with larger effects being found for women. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/99100/diw_sp0194.pdf SOEP GB 5593 Rebeggiani, Luca 2007 Personelle Einkommensverteilung, privater Konsum und Wachstum Marburg Metropolis Verlag Book cross-sectional 11 Book SOEP D 5592 Pestel, Nico 2009 Demografie und Ungleichheit: Der Einfluss von Haushaltsstrukturen auf die Einkommensverteilung in Deutschland (Diplomarbeit) Köln Universität zu Köln, Wirtschafts- und Sozialwissenschaftliche Fakultät Thesis cross-sectional 41 B.A./M.A. Thesis SOEP D 5591 Hartmann-Tews, Ilse 2009 Sportentwicklung und Inklusion aus Geschlechterperspektive Eckart Balz, Detlef Kuhlmann Sportentwicklung - Grundlagen und Facetten Aachen Meyer & Meyer 65-75 Book Section cross-sectional 20 Book Section SOEP D 5590 Combrink, Claudia, Hartmann-Tews, Ilse and Tischer, Ulrike 2007 Sportlich aktives Altern - eine Frage des Geschlechts?

Berlin: DIW Berlin Report longitudinal 30 Discussion Paper health, subjective indicators Happiness, mortality, health, chronic illness World life expectancy has risen by around 20 years in the last 50 years. This period has also witnessed rising happiness levels around the world suggesting that happiness might be one of the causes behind the decline in mortality. We investigate the relationship between happiness and mortality using the German Socio-Economic Panel. We consider doctor visits, self-reported health, and presence of chronic illness as health measures. After controlling for initial health conditions, we find that happiness extends life expectancy. 10 percent increase in happiness decreases probability of death by four percent, and this effect is more pronounced for men and younger people. Happiness plays a more important role for chronically ill people in decreasing mortality than for those who are not chronically ill. The positive influence of happiness on mortality can offset the negative impact of chronic illness. Marriage decreases mortality and this effect appears to work through increased happiness. http://www.deakin.edu.au/buslaw/aef/workingpapers/papers/2009_3.pdf , http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/99432/diw_sp0198.pdf SOEP GB 5586 Isengard, Bettina 2009 Lohnunterschiede im Spannungsfeld von sozialer Herkunft und individueller Bildung.

In the framework of a general efficiency approach, hours spent on childcare by each parent are regressed against individual and household characteristics, for five samples (Denmark, France, Germany, Italy and Spain), with data being drawn from the European Community Household Panel-ECHP (1994-2001). Empirical results show a clear inequality in childcare between fathers and mothers, with this being more evident in Mediterranean countries. Panel data estimates reveal that, in general, caring tasks are mainly influenced by the presence of young children in the household, by the total non-labor income, and by the ratio of mothers' non-labor income to family's non-labor income, with this latter variable exhibiting a different behavior across genders and across countries. http://ftp.iza.org/dp4188.pdf , http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/99455/diw_sp0197.pdf ECHP GB 5579 Peichl, Andreas, Pestel, Nico and Schneider, Hilmar 2009 Demographie und Ungleichheit: Der Einfluss von Veränderungen der Haushaltsstruktur auf die Einkommensverteilung in Deutschland IZA DP No. 4197 Bonn Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) 2009: SOEPpaper 205. Berlin: DIW Berlin Report cross-sectional 30 Discussion Paper income and poverty, transfer systems Demography, income inequality, inequality decomposition, household structure, SOEP, Germany In Germany, two observations can be tracked over the past 15 to 20 years: First, income inequality has constantly increased while, second, the average household size has been declining dramatically. The analysis of income distribution relies on equivalence-weighted incomes, which take into account household size. Therefore, there is an obvious link between these two developments. The aim of the paper is to quantify how the trend towards smaller households has influenced the change in income inequality. It appears that inequality would also have increased without this demographic trend. But its level would be noticeably lower than it actually is. http://ftp.iza.org/dp4197.pdf, http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/100021/diw_sp0205.pdf SOEP D 5578 Grösche, Peter 2010 Housing, Energy Cost, and the Poor.

Germany provides an allowance to low-income households, covering the housing as well as the space heating cost, to protect people from the consequences of poor housing conditions and fuel poverty. In order to limit public expenditures, payment recipients are required to choose low-cost dwellings, with the consequence that they probably occupy flats with a poor thermal performance. Recipients might therefore exhibit a lower per-square meter rent but in turn are likely to have a higher energy consumption and energy expenditures. Using a large data set of German households, this paper demonstrates that this financially counteracting effect is of negligible magnitude. http://www.rwi-essen.de/media/content/pages/publikationen/ruhr-economic-papers/REP_09_110.pdf , http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/99670/diw_sp0202.pdf SOEP GB 5577 Bauer, Thomas K. and Sinning, Mathias G. 2009 The Purpose of Remittances.

Particular attention is paid to migrants' savings and transfers to family members in the home country. Our findings indicate that migrants who intend to stay in Germany only temporarily have a higher propensity to save and save larger amounts in their home country than permanent migrants. A similar picture emerges when considering migrants' payments to family members abroad. The results of a decomposition analysis indicate that temporary and permanent migrants seem to have different preferences towards sending transfers abroad, while economic characteristics and the composition of households in home and host countries are less relevant. http://www.rwi-essen.de/media/content/pages/publikationen/ruhr-economic-papers/REP_09_109.pdf SOEP GB 5576 Phipps, Shelley 2009 Canadian Policies for Families with Very Young Children in International Perspective Sheila B.

Within Canada, the province of Quebec has recently introduced its own system of maternity and parental benefits; these are also discussed. For families with very young children, cash maternity and/or parental benefits are particularly important and are thus the focus of the analysis. The first section of the chapter provides an overview of what is available in each of the countries studied; the second section calculates maternity/parental benefit entitlements for five ‘sample’ new parents; the third uses LIS microdata to compare over-all financial well-being of families with very young children. The chapter concludes that the duration of Canadian maternity and parental benefits compares quite favorably with what is available elsewhere, but the level of benefits offered is rather low. Ceilings on maternity/parental benefits in some countries, including Canada, mean that the effective replacement rate is lower than the nominal replacement rate. Since male earnings are typically higher than female earnings, this may discourage fathers from taking up benefits. Some countries have implemented inducements for men to take parental leaves (e.g., by allocating part of the leave for men only in Sweden, Norway or Quebec). Scandinavian countries are particularly flexible about allowing parents to extend benefit periods by returning to work part-time while collecting partial benefits; Canada might consider moving in this direction to allow families greater freedom in how to use their entitlements. Finally, analysis conducted using the LIS data show that while social transfers play a vital role in reducing the depth of poverty, the Canadian social transfer package leaves more families with very young children in poverty than is the case in the other countries studied except Italy and the U.S." http://www.lisproject.org/publications/liswps/514.pdf LIS GB 5575 Morillas, Juan Rafael 2009 Redistribution as an Income Mobility Process: The Identification and Measurement of Redistribution Luxembourg Income Study Working Paper No. 513 Luxembourg Luxembourg Income Study (LIS) Report cross-sectional 30 Discussion Paper redistribution, inequality, income mobility, political economy. power ressources, partisanship, median voter How can we evaluate the redistributive effect of welfare states? Do tax and transfer systems reduce the level of inequality generated in the market? In order to answer these questions, we need to be equipped with adequate measures of redistribution. Current measures employed in the sociology and politics of redistribution are seriously flawed. This paper elaborates the reasons why we cannot rely on those measures. Furthermore, it develops a framework to statistically identify redistribution as a micro-level incomemobility process, and develops an index to measure it. Using data from the Luxembourg Income Study, the paper shows that the new measure of redistribution developed in this paper is empirically distinct from the conventional measures that have been used in the literature. The paper concludes by demonstrating the importance of the new measure of redistribution for improving our understanding of the social and political determinants of redistribution. In particular, it shows that the conventional wisdom in the political economy of redistribution does not hold in the light of the new measure developed in this paper. http://www.lisproject.org/publications/liswps/513.pdf LIS GB 5574 Erlinghagen, Marcel and Stegmann, Tim 2009 Goodbye Germany - und dann?

Berlin: DIW Berlin Report cross-sectional 35 Other DIW Publications migration, methods SOEP, migration, emigration, emigrants, Germany In contrast to the vast body of data on immigration to Germany, there is almost no scientifically valid data available on emigration flows from Germany and the factors motivating people to emigrate. In particular, there is an almost total lack of data on the living conditions of emigrants after their arrival in their new home countries. It is thus unsurpising that the German emigration research is currently based mainly on aggregated emigration data from official statistical sources as well as on non-representative quantitative and qualitative studies of specific emigrant groups. This was the point of departure for the pilot project “Life outside Germany,” which attempted to follow Socio-Economic Panel Study (SOEP) participants who left Germany between 2002 and 2006, with the central aim of obtaining information about these individuals’ motivations for leaving and their living conditions in their new home countries. The project succeeded in locating 67 of the 288 former SOEP respondents who had been identified as emigrants. These individuals were sent the specially designed questionnaire by mail, and a total of 32 interviews were completed and returned. The present study starts by presenting the empirical findings from the pilot study. The main problem of the analysis lies less in the (controllable) selectivity of the respondents (32 of 288), and more the (still) extremely low case numbers, which do not allow scientifically sound conclusions to be drawn from the results. A further aim of this paper is therefore to provide an example of the basic research potential that lies in emigrant surveys, particularly in surveying SOEP respondents who have moved abroad. Linking information before and after the point of emigration creates new possibilities for empirical life-course research, which in turn—from an understanding of migration as a fundamentally open-ended process—open up new empirical perspectives for migration research. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/98691/diw_sp0193.pdf SOEP D 5573 Sauer, Carsten, Auspurg, Katrin, Hinz, Thomas, Liebig, Stefan and Schupp, Jürgen 2009 Die Bewertung von Erwerbseinkommen - Methodische und inhaltliche Analysen zu einer Vignettenstudie im Rahmen des SOEP-Pretest 2008 SOEPpapers 189 Berlin DIW Berlin 2009: DIW Berlin Data Documentation 42.

In this paper, we describe the construction and application of the vignette module, which has its origins in the field of justice research and is used in particular in the measurement of income justice. We show that the factorial survey method is applicable in large-scale survey research when taking certain constraints into account, and that respondents of varying ages and educational groups are able to deal sufficiently well with answering the questions. The results obtained suggest that older respondents tend to take fewer dimensions into consideration in forming their opinions. Further studies will be needed to determine whether this is evidence that the evaluation tasks were too complex for these respondents and should thus be interpreted as a method effect, or whether it represents a valid substantive result. The results of the study demonstrate convincingly that alongside occupation, education, and performance—factors relating directly to employment—familial aspects such as civil status, the partner’s employment status, and number of children constitute important criteria for determining what constitutes a “fair” income. The factor survey in the 2008 SOEP Pretest offers diverse analytical potential, both from a methodological point of view and in terms of the empirical results obtained. The positive experience with the 2008 SOEP Pretest suggests that the SOEP vignette module can be used effectively in a future wave of the main SOEP survey. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/98688/diw_sp0189.pdf SOEP D 5572 Busch, Anne and Holst, Elke 2009 Berufswahl wichtig für Karrierechancen von Männern und Frauen Wochenbericht des DIW Berlin 76 23 376-384 Journal Article cross-sectional 05 DIW Weekly Report Gender, Manager, Human capital, Segregation Der Anteil von Frauen in Führungspositionen der Privatwirtschaft war auch im Jahr 2007 mit 27 Prozent unterdurchschnittlich.

Hinzu kommt, dass in Führungspositionen Frauen nicht nur seltener als Männer anderen Personen vorgesetzt sind, sondern ihnen sind im Schnitt auch weit weniger Personen unterstellt. Dabei mangelt es Frauen nicht an Qualifikationen - diesbezüglich weisen die Geschlechter kaum Unterschiede auf. Entscheidend ist vor allem die Beschäftigung in geschlechtstypischen Berufen, die die unterschiedlichen Aufstiegschancen von Frauen und Männern bestimmt: Berufszweige, die mehrheitlich von Frauen ausgeübt werden, bieten generell geringere Aufstiegsmöglichkeiten - für Frauen sogar in noch stärkerem Umfang als für Männer. Hinzu kommt, dass familiäre Verpflichtungen Frauen zeitlich weit mehr beanspruchen als Männer. Damit werden ihre Karrierechancen weiter beeinträchtigt.

It identifies the peculiarities of family policies in the formerly socialist East and in the conservative-familist West. German unification merged two contrasting models of family policy: the East German dual-earner model and the West German male breadwinner model. While family policy in East Germany expected both mothers and fathers to work full-time, West German family policy was based on ideas of different but equal and complementary gender roles. East Germany employed measures to increase fertility rates and support having children. Pre-unification West Germany, in contrast, had continuously rejected pro-natalism. We will argue that unified Germany is heading towards a third policy model that has more in common with the East German model than the family policy model of former West Germany. Sustainable family policy (Nachhaltige Familienpolitik), as this third model has been called by politicians, conceives of children as society’s future assets; it seeks to encourage childbearing by supporting parents to balance work and family responsibilities, and attempts to reduce child poverty by increasing maternal employment."

The effect of the relative cohort size on educational attainment of young adults in Germany is analyzed utilizing data from the German Socio-Economic Panel for West-German individuals of the birth cohorts 1966 to 1986. These are the cohorts which entered the labor market since the 1980's. Particular attention is paid to the effect of changes in labor market conditions, which constitute an important channel through which demographic change may affect human capital accumulation. Our findings suggest that the variables measuring demographic change exert a considerable though heterogeneous impact on the human capital accumulation of young Germans. Changing labor market conditions during the 1980's and 1990's exhibit a sizeable impact on both the highest schooling and the highest professional degree obtained by younger cohorts. http://ftp.iza.org/dp4180.pdf , http://www.rwi-essen.de/media/content/pages/publikationen/ruhr-economic-papers/REP_09_107.pdf SOEP GB 5569 Clark, Ken and Kanellopoulos, Nikolaos C. 2009 Low Pay Persistence in European Countries IZA DP No. 4183 Bonn Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) 2009: SOEPpapers 207.

Berlin: DIW Berlin Report longitudinal 30 Discussion Paper subjective indicators, miscellaneous happiness, trust, social capital, optimism This paper presents evidence on causal influence of happiness on social capital and trust using German Socio-Economic Panel. Exploiting the unexplained cross-sectional variation in individual happiness (residuals) in 1984 to eliminate the endogeneity problem, the paper nds that happier people trust others more, and importantly, help create more social capital. Specifically, they have a higher desire to vote, perform more volunteer work, and more frequently participate in public activities. They also have a higher respect for law and order, hold more association memberships, are more attached to their neighborhood, and extend more help to others. Residual happiness appears to be an indicator of optimism, and has an inverse U-shaped relationship with social capital measures. The findings also suggest that the relationship between happiness and social capital strengthened in the world in the last decade. http://www.deakin.edu.au/buslaw/aef/workingpapers/papers/2009_4.pdf , http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/99453/diw_sp0199.pdf SOEP GB 5567 Frick, Joachim R. and Grabka, Markus M. 2009 Wealth Inequality on the Rise in Germany Weekly Report 5 10 62-73 Journal Article longitudinal 05 DIW Weekly Report Wealth Inequality, Mobility, Composition, SOEP Individual net wealth in Germany totaled an average of around 88,000 Euros at the beginning of 2007 which was about 10 percent higher than in 2002. Decisive for this development was an increase in monetary wealth as well as wealth from private insurance. In connection with the overall quite unequal division of wealth, the median i.e., the value which separates the richest 50 per cent of the population from the poorest, continues to be only around 15,000 Euros. Nonetheless, around two thirds of the population of 17 years of age and above did not possess any or very little monetary and material wealth. So, on the whole, wealth inequality in Germany has continued to increase since 2002. Within the scope of this development, the wealth inequalities which already existed between West and East Germany have further increased since 2002, which has primarily been as a result of the decreasing market value of property in East Germany. Reforms of the state system providing for old age demand a reinforcement of private and company pension plans. Here, private asset accumulation through investment in owner-occupied properties and regular savings activity-also government sponsored-has particular significance in the maintenance of living standards after retirement. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/98509/diw_wr_2009-10.pdf SOEP GB 5566 Ullmann, Karen and Bothfeld, Silke 2008 The German Employment Protection Act - How does it work in company practice?

Using univariate statistics, we find that opportunity entrepreneurs remain in self-employment longer than necessity entrepreneurs. However, after controlling for the entrepreneurs’ education in the professional area where they start their venture, this effect is no longer significant. We therefore conclude that the difference observed is not an original effect but rather is due to selection. We then go on to discuss the implications of our findings for entrepreneurship-policy making, and give suggestions to improve governmental start-up programs. http://epub.ub.uni-muenchen.de/2082/2/wp2007-10.pdf , http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/98689/diw_sp0191.pdf SOEP GB 5545 Fachinger, Uwe, Schmähl, Winfried and Unger, Rainer 2008 Zielvorstellungen in der Alterssicherung: Konkretisierung, Operationalisierung und Messung als Grundlagen für normative Aussagen Deutsche Rentenversicherung 2 180-214 Journal Article longitudinal 04 Other Journal Bei dem vorliegenden Beitrag handelt es sich um eine Zusammenfassung zentraler Ergebnisse des vom Forschungsnetzwerk Alterssicherung der Rentenversicherung Bund geförderten Forschungsprojektes „Zielvorstellungen in der Alterssicherung: Konkretisierung, Operationalisierung und Messung als Grundlagen für normative Aussagen“. Ziel dieses Projektes war es, vor dem Hintergrund der Umstrukturierung des Altersvorsorgesystems in Deutschland einen Beitrag zur Fundierung verteilungspolitischer Ziele in der Alterssicherungspolitik zu liefern. Die Analysen zeigen, dass zur Umsetzung der Zielvorstellungen in der Alterssicherung und zur Beurteilung von Effizienz und Effektivität der jeweiligen Maßnahmen eine möglichst enge Festlegung der Ziele von politischer Seite erforderlich ist. Erst wenn dies geschehen ist, kann eine wissenschaftliche Diskussion über die geeigneten Indikatoren erfolgen, als deren Ergebnis dann ein Indikatorensystem – ein einzelner Indikator würde der Heterogenität des Systems nicht gerecht werden – zur Berichterstattung verfügbar wäre. Die Resultate des Projektes können hierfür einen Ausgangspunkt darstellen. So lassen sich auf der Grundlage der vorliegenden Analysen bereits einige Anforderungen an die Indikatoren formulieren. Die Indikatoren sollten beispielsweise die Einkommenserzielung und die Einkommensverwendung berücksichtigen. Ferner zeigte sich, dass eine reine Querschnittbetrachtung nicht ausreicht, um die Dynamik der Einkommen zu erfassen. Um das Zusammenspiel der Sicherungssysteme beurteilen zu können, müssen des Weiteren für die jeweiligen Alterseinkünfte Indikatoren ermittelt werden. Zur Beurteilung der Entwicklung der Ausgaben müssten diese auch nach Kategorien ermittelt und verglichen werden. Von besonderem sozialpolitischem Interesse sind hier die Ausgaben für Wohnung sowie für Körperpflege und Gesundheit. Grundsätzlich gilt zudem, dass die Datenbasis verbessert werden muss. Dies betrifft insbesondere die Alterseinkünfte aus der zweiten sowie dritten Schicht (inklusive der Vermögen) sowie die Ausgaben der Haushalte. Ferner ist die vermehrte Möglichkeit der Nutzung von Längsschnittdaten für die Analysen zur Effizienz und Effektivität von Altersvorsorgesystemen erforderlich.

York: The University of York, Health, Econometrics and Data Group" Report longitudinal 30 Discussion Paper labour, health, econometrics, international comparison health, eartly retirement, hazard models Both health and income inequalities have been shown to be much greater in Britain than in Germany. One of the main reasons seems to be the difference in the relative position of the retired, who, in Britain, are much more concentrated in the lower income groups. Inequality analysis reveals that while the distribution of health shocks is more concentrated among those on low incomes in Britain, early retirement is more concentrated among those on high incomes. In contrast, in Germany, both health shocks and early retirement are more concentrated among those with low incomes. We use comparable longitudinal data sets from Britain and Germany to estimate hazard models of the effect of health on early retirement. The hazard models show that health is a key determinant of the retirement hazard for both men and women in Britain and Germany. The size of the health effect appears large compared to the other variables. Designing financial incentives to encourage people to work for longer may not be sufficient as a policy tool if people are leaving the labour market involuntarily due to health problems. http://www.shef.ac.uk/content/1/c6/09/02/31/SERP2008012.pdf , http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/98687/diw_sp0188.pdf , http://www.york.ac.uk/res/herc/documents/wp/08_27.pdf SOEP GB 5538 Bundesamt für Bauwesen und Raumordnung (Hrsg.) 2007 Wohnungs- und Immobilienmärkte in Deutschland 2006 Berichte Band 27 Bonn Bundesamt für Bauwesen und Raumordnung Report cross-sectional 33 Other Grey Literature SOEP D 5537 Rauschenbach, Thomas and Züchner, Ivo 2008 Ungleichheit in der frühen Kindheit Bielefelder Arbeitsgruppe 8 Soziale Arbeit in Gesellschaft Wiesbaden VS Verlag für Sozialwissenschaften 328-338 Book Section citation of SOEP results 20 Book Section D 5536 Grünheid, Evelyn 2008 Die Auswirkungen demographischer Entwicklungen auf die innere Sicherheit in Deutschland Zeitschrift für Bevölkerungswissenschaft 33 1 55-88 Journal Article citation of SOEP results 04 Other Journal demographic change, ageing, security, criminality D 5535 Eggen, Bernd and Rupp, Marina 2006 Einkommenssituation großer Familien Bernd Eggen, Marina Rupp Kinderreiche Familien Wiesbaden VS Verlag für Sozialwissenschaften 85-111 Book Section cross-sectional 20 Book Section SOEP D 5534 Nollmann, Gerd 2009 Working Poor.

The risk of working poor is assumed to be a consequence of both the macro-structural change towards postindustrial service societies and the micro-structural change of private households. From this twofold perspective, the guiding hypotheses are developed and then tested with the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP) and the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID). The risk of working poor has increased both in Germany and the United States. Both commonalities and marked differences appear: Whereas high numbers of children dominate risks in the US, the German risk-set is determined by the hurdle between part-time and fulltime households, which disadvantages young and lone parents particularly. A common development is the successive devaluation of fulltime employment by sector risks which are growing into the fulltime labour market even in Germany.

Increases in inequality reflect increases in permanent differentials in four countries and increases in both components in two. Decreases in inequality reflect decreases in transitory differentials in four countries, in permanent differentials in two and in both components in rest. In general, increases in inequality are accompanied by decreases in mobility, whereas only in three countries the increase in mobility is determined by the decrease in inequality. http://ftp.iza.org/dp4012.pdf, http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/98171/diw_sp0184.pdf ECHP GB 5532 Almås, Ingvild and Mogstady, Magne 2009 Older or wealthier?

However, as this finding relies on cross-section data, we may confuse older with wealthier. We propose a new method to adjust for age effects in cross-sections, which eliminates transitory wealth inequality due to age, yet preserves inequality arising from other factors. This new method is superior to existing methods, like the much used Paglin-Gini, which is shown to have several problems. A new cross-country comparable database reveals that the choice of method is empirically important: Existing methods yield erroneous wealth inequality rankings of countries. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/98056/diw_sp0181.pdf , http://www.ecineq.org/milano/WP/ECINEQ2009-113.pdf LWS GB 5531 Glocker, Daniela 2009 The Effect of Student Aid on the Duration of Study DIW Discussion Paper No. 893 Berlin DIW Berlin Report longitudinal 31 DIW Discussion Paper education, transfer systems academic outcomes, student aid, duration of study, BAfoeG, German Socio-Economic Panel In this paper I evaluate the effect of student aid on the success of academic studies. I focus on two dimensions, the duration of study and the probability of actually graduating with a degree. While there is an extensive literature on the impact of student aid on its intended outcome, the uptake of tertiary education, the impact on the outcome and on study incentives has been mainly ignored. But introducing student aid changes the students' budget constraint. The increase in the budget-set might lead to shorter time-to-degree if paid work is substituted by study time. I analyze the effect of financial student aid granted by the German Federal Education and Training Assistance Act (BAfoeG). To determine its impact, I estimate a discrete-time duration model allowing for competing risks to account for different exit states (graduation and dropout) using individual level panel data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) for the years 1984-2007. My findings suggest that the duration of study is responsive to the type of financial support a student receives. There are three main results. First, student aid recipients finish faster than comparable students who are supported by the same amount of parental/private transfers only. Second, although higher financial aid does on average not affect the duration of study, this effect is (third) dominated by the increased probability of actually finishing university successfully. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/98082/dp893.pdf SOEP GB 5530 Ziebarth, Nicolas R. 2009 Langzeitkranke verlieren durch Kürzung des Krankengeldes fünf Milliarden Euro Wochenbericht des DIW Berlin 76 20 326-332 Journal Article cross-sectional 05 DIW Weekly Report income and poverty, transfer systems Long-term absenteeism, Long-term sick pay, Redistribution, SOEP Am 1.

Berechnungen auf Basis des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP) zeigen, dass durch diese Maßnahme innerhalb von zehn Jahren rund fünf Milliarden Euro von den Langzeitkranken zugunsten der übrigen Versicherten umverteilt wurden. Dies trägt - wie von der Politik gewünscht - dazu bei, die Beitragssätze der gesetzlichen Krankenversicherung stabil zu halten, wenngleich der Effekt mit zuletzt 0,04 Beitragspunkten marginal ist. Durch die Krankengeldkürzung verlieren Langzeitkranke durchschnittlich 250 Euro pro Krankheitsepisode. Die Kürzung hat ursächlich nicht dazu geführt, dass die Zahl der Langzeitkrankheitsfälle von 1993 bis 2006 von 2,3 auf 1,4 Millionen gesunken ist. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/98033/09-20-1.pdf SOEP D 5529 Behr, Andreas and Pötter, Ulrich 2010 What determines wage differentials across the EU?

The empirical decomposition is based on a proportional hazards model. The approach based on rank invariant estimators is borrowed from the literature on failure time data and has been adapted by Donald et al. (Rev Econ Stud 67:609–633, 2000) to analyse differences in wage distributions. Extending this approach and using natural splines to allow for nonlinear regression effects we isolate three different underlying forces for wage differentials: differences in characteristics, differences in weights of characteristics and differences in the returns-to-skill functions. The analysis reveals that country differences in returns-to-skill functions contribute most to observed wage differences while differences in observed characteristics contribute surprisingly little.

Especially, it deals with their educational achievements, their transition into the labour market and their forms of belonging (citizenship and elective participation). The results from French and German micro-data indicate that despite their severe difficulties in terms of school achievements, young people of Turkish origin have a more favorable working life than young people of North-African origin who are more successful in the educational system. The former experience unemployment, instability and declassing more frequently in their working life. Two types of processes of social distancing emerge from those results: through relegation in Germany and through discrimination in France. Those processes trace back to institutional, structural and symbolic mechanisms. Furthermore, both the national framework and experience of discrimination influence the forms of belonging of those population groups in different ways. http://edoc.hu-berlin.de/dissertationen/tucci-ingrid-2008-02-08/PDF/tucci.pdf SOEP F 5527 Klein, Thomas 2009 Determinanten der Sportaktivität und der Sportart im Lebenslauf Kölner Zeitschrift für Soziologie und Sozialpsychologie (KZfSS) 61 1 1-32 Journal Article citation of SOEP results 02 SSCI Journal physical activity, exercise, sports, life course, lifestyle D 5526 Leopold, Thomas 2009 Erbschaften und Schenkungen im Lebenslauf.

Based on ECHP, minimum distance estimator is used to decompose earnings inequality into the permanent and transitory components and compute earnings mobility. The predicted components together with the institutional OECD data are used in a non-linear least squares setting to estimate the relationship between permanent inequality, transitory inequality and earnings mobility, and labour market policy and institutional factors. The results revealed a highly complex framework, where institutions interact significantly not only with each other and with the overall institutional setting, but also with the macroeconomic shocks in shaping the pattern of the three labour market outcomes. http://ftp.iza.org/dp4151.pdf , http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/98170/diw_sp0183.pdf ECHP GB 5524 Haan, Peter and Myck, Michal 2009 Dynamics of health and labor market risks Journal of Health Economics 28 6 1116-1125 2009: Dynamics of Poor Health and Non-Employment.

Using twelve years of data from the German Socio-Economic Panel we study the nature of the relationship between poor health and non-employment on a sample of German men aged 30-59. We propose to model poor health and non-employment as interrelated risks determined within a dynamic structure conditional on a set of individual characteristics. Applying dynamic panel estimation we identify the mechanism through which poor health contributes to the probability of being jobless and vice versa. We find an important role of unobserved heterogeneity and evidence for correlation in the unobservable characteristics determining the two processes. The results also show strong persistence in the dynamics of poor health and non-employment. http://ftp.iza.org/dp4154.pdf , http://www.diw.de/sixcms/detail.php?id=diw_01.c.99264.de SOEP GB 5523 Wunder, Christoph, Wiencierz, Andrea, Schwarze, Johannes, Küchenhoff, Helmut, Kleyer, Sara and Bleninger, Philipp 2009 Well-Being over the Life Span: Semiparametric Evidence from British and German Longitudinal Data IZA DP No. 4155 Bonn Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) "2009: SOEPpapers 179.

Splines have the advantage that they do not require a priori assumptions about the form of the curve. Using data from the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS) and the German Socio-Economic Panel Study (SOEP), the analysis shows a common, quite similar, age-specific pattern of life satisfaction for both Britain and Germany that can be characterized by three age stages. In the first stage, life satisfaction declines until approximately the fifth life decade. In the second age stage, well-being clearly increases and has a second turning point (maximum) after which well-being decreases in the third age stage. Several reasons for the three-phase pattern are discussed. We point to the fact that neither polynomial functions of the third nor the fourth degree describe the relationship adequately: polynomials locate the minimum and the maximum imprecisely. In addition, our analysis discusses the indistinguishability of age, period, and cohort effects: we propose estimating age-period models that control for cohort effects including substantive variables, such as the life expectancy of the birth cohort, and further observed socioeconomic characteristics in the regression. http://ftp.iza.org/dp4155.pdf , http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/97990/dp889.pdf, http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/98054/diw_sp0179.pdf , SOEP GB 5522 Klick, Jonathan and Stratmann, Thomas 2008 Do Spa Visits Improve Health: Evidence From German Microdata Eastern Economic Journal 34 3 364-374 2007: Law and Economics Paper No. 05-13, Public Law Research Paper No. 125.

If this hypothesis is correct, spa therapy offers a low cost alternative to more expensive and potentially more invasive medical treatments for ailments such as back pain and arthritis. We use individual-level panel data to isolate the effect of spa therapy on missed work days and hospital visits in Germany. Simple correlations suggest a self-selection bias - spa visits are associated with increased absenteeism and hospitalization. However, when we exploit the longitudinal nature of the data, we find that spa therapy leads to a statistically significant reduction in both absenteeism and hospitalization, though it is not clear if these health benefits justify the cost of spa therapy. http://www.gmu.edu/jbc/stratmann/Do%20Spa%20Visits%20Improve%20Health%20final.pdf SOEP GB 5521 Bazyl, Monika 2009 Factors influencing tenure choice in European countries IRISS Working Paper Series No. 2009-04 Differdange CEPS/INSTEAD 2009: SOEPpapers 186.

They range from below 50% in Germany to over 80% in Greece, Spain or Ireland. However the differences lie not only in the overall homeownership rates but also in its structure, and this is the focus of this paper. Its aim is to study the impact of microeconomic factors on household’s tenure choice, using a cross-country comparative approach.

The models show that marriage is a significant determinant of the decision to move to homeownership in all analysed countries, while co- habitating households are more likely to rent, except for Denmark. Nationality, income and age proved to be significant explanatory variables in several countries, while staying insignificant in others. http://www.ceps.lu/pdf/11/art1418.pdf , http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/98238/diw_sp0186.pdf CHER GB 5520 Schlotter, Martin 2009 Kindergarten attendance and decision makers' political leaning - Difference-in-Difference evidence from German municipalities Spring Meeting of Young Economists (SMYE) 2009, Istanbul, 23.-25.

Zum einen werden aktuelle Daten aus dem Jahr 2006 verwendet, zum anderen eine Projektion bis 2050, wobei in beiden Fällen von einer stabilen Bevölkerung ausgegangen wurde. Unter den Bedingungen von 2050 wird die Zahl der lebenden Verwandten einer Personen über ihren Lebenslauf hinweg zunehmen. Insbesondere die Wahrscheinlichkeit in jüngeren Lebensaltern zeitgleich mit Vorfahrengenerationen zu leben, nimmt deutlich zu, ebenso wie die Wahrscheinlichkeit im hohen Alter zeitgleich mit Nachfahrengenerationen zu leben. Ein Vergleich der eher auf abstrakten Annahmen basierenden Modellrechnung für 2006 mit Daten des SOEP zeigt, dass das analytische Modell zwar nicht exakt die Realität wiedergibt, allerdings nichtsdestotrotz als Anhaltspunkt gesehen werden kann. http://www.stat.rub.de/papers/kin.pdf Soep D 5515 Kroh, Martin and Selb, Peter 2009 Inheritance and the Dynamics of Party Identification Political Behavior 31 4 559-574 10.1007/s11109-009-9084-2 Journal Article longitudinal 02 SSCI Journal family and networks, miscellaneous Party identification, State dependence, Trait dependence, Socialization, Germany, Dynamic panel model, Inheritance, Intergenerational transmission Extensive research efforts notwithstanding, scholars continue to disagree on the nature and meaning of party identification. Traditionalists conceive of partisanship as a largely affective attachment to a political party that emerges in childhood through parental influences and tends to persist throughout life. The revisionist conception of partisanship is that of a running tally of party utilities that is updated based on current party performance. We attempt to reconcile both schools of thought in an individual difference perspective, showing that the party loyalties acquired through parental influences confirm better the traditional view, while the attachments of individuals who did not inherit their parents’ party loyalties exhibit features more closely matching the revisionist predictions. The analysis is facilitated by uniquely suited longitudinal household data emanating from the German Socio-Economic Panel Study that allow to study party identifications of young adults and their parents on an annual basis from 1984 to 2007.

We argue that a worker's job search intensity not only relies on the conventional determinants discussed in the job search literature but is decisively driven by her noncognitive skills which rejected in her propensity to motivate and control herself while searching for a job. Moreover, personality traits as far as they can be signaled to a potential employer may also enhance the probability of receiving and accepting a job offer. For our econometric duration analysis we use the well-accepted taxonomy ""Big Five"" for classifying personality traits. Based on individual unemployment data taken from the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP) our empirical findings reveal that the personality traits Conscientiousness, and Neuroticism have a strong impact on the probability of finding a job, while we do not find any significant effects of the personality traits Extraversion and Agreeableness on the duration of unemployment.

Berlin: DIW Berlin Report longitudinal 31 DIW Discussion Paper labour, family and networks, subjective indicators Subjective well-being, life satisfaction, labor force participation In contrast to unemployment, the effect of non-participation and parttime employment on subjective well-being has much less frequently been the subject of economists’ investigations. In Germany, many women with dependent children are involuntarily out of the labor force or in part-time employment because of family constraints (e.g., due to lack of available and appropriate childcare). Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) Study, this paper analyzes the impact of involuntary familyrelated non-participation and part-time employment on mothers’ life satisfaction. Controlling for unobserved individual fixed effects, I find that both the pecuniary effects (foregone earnings) and the non-pecuniary effects (psychological costs) are significantly negative. Compensating income variations reveal that the residual household income would have to be raised by 182 percent (157 percent/77 percent) in order to just offset the negative effect of not being able to work because of family constraints (of being in short/long part-time employment). Moreover, in terms of overall happiness among mothers, non-participation is revealed to be a more serious problem than unemployment. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/98011/diw_sp0178.pdf , http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/97989/dp890.pdf SOEP GB 5511 Wüpper, Thomas 2009 Nur jeder hundertste Deutsche lebt in sorgenfreiem Reichtum Stuttgarter Zeitung, 27.

Frey and Richard Layard, are advocating that the standard approach in economics of inferring utility from changes in consumption and leisure should be augmented or replaced by use of subjective measures. But psychologists claim that adult life satisfaction (or happiness) is more or less fixed; it has a ""set-point"" which is largely determined by genetic factors and early childhood development. Analyses of life-span data, collected by the German Socio-Economic Panel Study (SOEP) in the last 20 years, challenge this claim. About a quarter of the West German population experienced substantial changes in life satisfaction, but losses outweighed gains by a ratio of about 3:1. It is likely that a major reason for the negative balance is relatively poor economic performance since the early 1990s. On the other hand, the results show that the ""set-point theory"" of psychologists is seriously flawed. Life satisfaction can change and may be open to improvement via individual life choices and/or public policy." http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/96356/diw_wr_2009-4.pdf SOEP GB 5508 Barasinska, Nataliya, Schäfer, Dorothea and Stephan, Andreas 2009 Private Households Display Strong Aversion to Investment Risk Weekly Report 5 2 13-18 Journal Article cross-sectional 05 DIW Weekly Report Household finances, Diversification, Financial portfolio "The broadest possible diversification of investments is considered an important strategy for minimizing investment risk. Most households in Germany do distribute their financial assets over several types of investment. However, investment behavior is only partially consistent with the overall readiness for risk-taking reported by heads of households. This is demonstrated by a current empirical study based on data from the Socio-Economic Panel Study (SOEP). The probability of diversification does tend to rise according to the degree of risk aversion, yet not when it comes to a ""fully diversified investment basket."" With a higher fear of risk, the tendency to fill a portfolio with every kind of investment falls. Clearly, households make decisions in keeping with a principle propagated by Keynes: security and liquidity come first. The readiness to invest in riskier assets rises with the number of secure investments already in place in the portfolio." http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/96058/diw_wr_2009-2.pdf SOEP GB 5507 Budria, Santi, Diaz-Serrano, Luis, Ferrer-i-Carbonell, Ada and Hartog, Joop 2009 Risk Attitude and Wage Growth: Replication and Reconstruction IZA DP No. 4124 Bonn Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) 2009: SOEPpapers 192.

We observe a U-shaped relationship between age and levels of life satisfaction for individuals aged between 16 and approximately 65. Thereafter, life satisfaction declines rapidly and the lowest absolute levels of life satisfaction are recorded for the oldest old. This decline is primarily attributable to low levels of perceived health. Once cohort effects are also controlled for, life satisfaction remains relatively constant across the lifespan. http://ftp.iza.org/dp4053.pdf SOEP GB 5504 Brenner, Jan 2010 Life-cycle variations in the association between current and lifetime earnings: Evidence for German natives and guest workers Labour Economics 17 2 392-406 2009: Ruhr Economic Papers #95.

To assess the quality of such approximations, we use a unique source of lifetime earnings — the German pension system — and focus on two important issues that have been largely ignored in the existing literature. The first is how to deal with zero income observations in the analysis of women. The second is whether these approximations differ between natives and guest workers. For female earners, we find that estimates of the associations between current and lifetime income are highly sensitive to the treatment of zero earnings. The reason turns out to be the highly cyclical nature of the labor supply behavior of mothers. Furthermore, immigrants' income proxies are prone to significantly larger attenuation biases over the entire life-cycle. This result is explained by the larger share of annual income variance attributable to the transitory income component for immigrants. Averaging income over up to 15 years alleviates the attenuation bias as well as the difference in biases between natives and guest workers http://repec.rwi-essen.de/files/REP_09_095.pdf SOEP GB 5503 Nelson, Kenneth 2009 Social Assistance and Minimum Income Protection in the EU: Vulnerability, Adequacy, and Convergence Luxembourg Income Study Working Paper No. 511 Luxembourg Luxembourg Income Study (LIS) Report cross-sectional 30 Discussion Paper international comparison, income and poverty, transfer systems comparative, institutional, contextual, poverty, low income In this paper social assistance developments are analyzed in a large number of EU member states, including European transition countries and the new democracies of southern Europe. The empirical analysis is based on the unique and recently established SaMip Dataset, which provides social assistance benefit levels for 27 countries from 1990-2005. It is shown that social assistance benefits have had a less favorable development than that of unemployment provision. Hardly any of the investigated countries provide social assistance benefits above the EU near poverty threshold. Social assistance benefit levels have not converged in Europe.

Using administrative data for the period 1987–2001 and a labor-market equilibrium model, we find that the substantial immigration of the 1990s had very little adverse effects on native wages and on their employment levels. Instead, it had a sizeable adverse employment effect on previous immigrants as well as a small adverse effect on their wages. These asymmetric results are partly driven by a higher degree of substitution between old and new immigrants in the labor market and in part by the rigidity of wages in less than flexible labor markets. In a simple counter-factual experiment we show that in a world of perfect wage flexibility and no unemployment insurance the wage-bill loss of old immigrants would be much smaller.

A quantitative genetic research design provides the necessary tools for this type of analysis. For a state-of-the-art approach, multigroup data is required. Household panel studies, such as BHPS (Understanding Society) in the UK or the SOEP in Germany, combined with an oversampling of twins, provide a powerful starting point since data from a reasonably large number of non-twin relatives is readily available. In addition to advances in our understanding of genetic and environmental influences on key variables in the social sciences, quantitative genetic analyses of target variables can guide molecular genetic research in the field of employment, earnings, health and satisfaction, as combined twin and sibling or parent data can help overcome serious caveats in molecular genetic research. http://www.ratswd.de/download/RatSWD_WP_2008/RatSWD_WP_45.pdf Gb 5494 Burkhauser, Richard V. and Couch, Kenneth A. 2009 Inter-generational inequality and intertemporal mobility Wiemer Salverda, Brian Nolan, Timothy M.

WZB Discussion Paper SP I 2009-503 Berlin Wissenschaftszentrum Berlin für Sozialforschung (WZB) Report 30 Discussion Paper education, subjective indicators Der Beitrag untersucht, inwiefern ungleiche Bildungschancen mit dem Phänomen von Underachievement verbunden sind und ob Persönlichkeitseigenschaften den Zusammenhang von sozialer Herkunft und Bildungschancen vermitteln. Underachievement ist – entsprechend dem mehrgliedrigen deutschen Bildungssystem – als Besuch eines Schultyps definiert, der unterhalb des jeweiligen individuellen kognitiven Lernpotenzials von Jugendlichen liegt. Die Analysen basieren auf Daten des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP). Sie zeigen, dass das Risiko eines Underachievement und damit die Entdeckung vorhandener Lernpotenziale stark von der sozialen Herkunft der Kinder abhängen. Verteilungsunterschiede in Persönlichkeitsstrukturen nach sozialer Herkunft spielen dafür allerdings keine Rolle. Vielmehr haben Persönlichkeitseigenschaften einen stärkeren Einfluss auf den Schulerfolg von Kindern mit akademisch gebildeten Eltern – und nicht, wie wohl häufig eher erwartet wird, bei Kindern von Eltern ohne akademischen Abschluss. Ferner deuten die Befunde darauf hin, dass nicht Leistungs-, sondern eher Unterschiede in Bildungsentscheidungen das höhere Risiko eines Underachievement von Kindern aus nicht-akademischen Familien verursachen. http://bibliothek.wz-berlin.de/pdf/2009/i09-503.pdf SOEP D 5492 Badunenko, Oleg, Barasinska, Nataliya and Schäfer, Dorothea 2009 Genügend Widerstandskraft?

Die hohe Belastung kann auf eine schnelle Tilgung der Kredite zurückzuführen sein.

Explaining Mobility Behaviour on the Basis of the German Socio-Economic Panel SOEPpapers 174 Berlin DIW Berlin Report longitudinal 35 Other DIW Publications miscellaneous, econometrics energy demand, rebound effect, panel data analysis We address the empirical question to which extent higher fuel efficiency of cars affects additional travel and how this behavioural aspect is modified by additional variables. The data set used to estimate a theoretical model of the rebound effect covers two panel waves, 1998 and 2003, taken from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP). To take full advantage of the information in the data available, and to avoid problems due to possible selection effects, we estimated an unbalanced two-wave random effects panel model. Our results suggest that in line with the rebound hypothesis, there is a negative effect of car efficiency on the kilometers driven. That is, the lower the fuel consumption, the larger the driven distance. However, contrasting recent empirical literature about the rebound effect in the transportation sector, this seems to be true only for cars with a consumption of more than roughly eight liters per hundred kilometers. In addition, we find a positive diesel effect, which implies that owning a diesel engined car, has a positive effect on the driven distance. Both effects can be interpreted as support for the rebound hypothesis, although not in a simple linear way. Moreover, it can be shown that some “soft” variables such as certain attitudes towards the environment tend to amplify this non-linear rebound effect. Our results support the general direction of the rebound effect on households travel activities. But because of the remaining political relevance of the rebound effect, they also highlight the importance of accounting for additional behavioural variables which tend to influence individual mobility behaviour. Hence, the classical interpretation of the rebound as a linear effect of advances in fuel economy on individual travel has to be questioned. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/97799/diw_sp0174.pdf SOEP GB 5484 Ziebarth, Nicolas R. 2009 Long-Term Absenteeism and Moral Hazard - Evidence from a Natural Experiment SOEPpapers 172 Berlin DIW Berlin 2009: DIW Discussion Paper 888. Berlin: DIW Berlin Report longitudinal 31 DIW Discussion Paper labour, health long-term absenteeism, sick pay, moral hazard, natural experiment, SOEP Sick leave payments represent a significant portion of public health expenditures and labor costs. Reductions in replacement levels are a commonly used instrument to tackle moral hazard and to increase the efficiency of the health insurance market. In Germany’s Statutory Health Insurance (SHI) system, the replacement level for periods of sickness of up to six weeks was reduced from 100 percent to 80 percent of an employee’s gross wage at the end of 1996. At the same time, the replacement level for individuals absent for a long-term period, i.e., from the seventh week onwards, was reduced from 80 to 70 percent. We show theoretically that the net reform effects on long-term absenteeism can be disentangled into a direct and an indirect effect. Using SOEP data, a natural control group, and two different treatment groups, we estimate the net and the direct effect on the incidence and duration of long-term absenteeism by difference-in-differences. Our findings suggest that, on population average, the reforms have not affected long-term absenteeism significantly, which is in accordance with our theoretical predictions, assuming that employees on long-term sick leave are seriously sick. However, we find some heterogeneity in the effects and a small but significant decrease in the duration of long-term absenteeism for the poor and middle-aged full-time employed persons. All in all, moral hazard and presenteeism seem to be less of an issue in the right tail of the sickness spell distribution. Finally, our calculations suggest that from 1997 to 2006, around five billion euros were redistributed from persons on long-term sick leave to the SHI insurance pool. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/97120/diw_sp0172.pdf , http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/97949/dp888.pdf SOEP GB 5483 Trommsdorff, Gisela 2009 25 Waves of the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP): An Asset to Inter-disciplinary Research SOEPpapers 171 Berlin DIW Berlin Report mentions of the SOEP study 35 Other DIW Publications miscellaneous http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/97044/diw_sp0171.pdf GB 5482 Meyermann, Alexia, Elsner, Jennifer, Schupp, Jürgen and Liebig, Stefan 2009 Pilotstudie einer surveybasierten Verknüpfung von Personen- und Betriebsdaten SOEPpapers 170 Berlin DIW Berlin 2009: DIW Research Notes 31. Berlin: DIW Berlin Report methodological 35 Other DIW Publications methods German Socio-Economic Panel Study, SOEP, Linked Employer-Employee-Data In this paper, we compare different approaches to the generation of datasets linking employees and firms, and present the specific advantages and disadvantages of each method. We discuss in detail the employee-first method, which has only been investigated so far in the survey research in initial US studies. We show that for Germany, this method provides reasonably comprehensive and error-free data on individuals. Our analyses are based on the results of a follow-up study of firms that was first tested in a SOEP Pretest in the year 2007 on more than 300 employees. Our results also show that the data edition method provides a relatively easy means of considerably improving the quality of contact addresses obtained through an open-ended survey question. The quality and number of the firm contact data as well as the number of participating firms can be increased as well through improvements in the different phases of the generation process. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/96994/diw_sp0170.pdf SOEP D 5481 Holst, Elke and Busch, Anne 2009 "Der ""Gender Pay Gap"" in Führungspositionen der Privatwirtschaft in Deutschland" SOEPpapers 169 Berlin DIW Berlin Report cross-sectional 35 Other DIW Publications labour, gender, econometrics Gender Pay Gap, managers, segregation, Oaxaca/Blinder decomposition, Heckman correction Obwohl eine Vielzahl an Studien zum geschlechtsspezifischen Verdienstunterschied und dessen Erklärung existiert, konzentrieren sich bisher nur vergleichsweise wenige auf den „gender pay gap“ in Führungspositionen, der im Fokus dieses Beitrags steht. In der hoch selektiven Gruppe der Führungskräfte in der Privatwirtschaft in Deutschland unterscheiden sich die Geschlechter in ihrer Humankapitalausstattung kaum, so dass der über eine Oaxaca/Blinder-Dekomposition ermittelte Unterschied in den Brutto-Monatsverdiensten hierüber nur sehr unzureichend zu erklären ist. Die Einbeziehung von Variablen zur geschlechtsspezifischen Segregation auf dem Arbeitsmarkt sowie haushaltsbezogener Kontrollvariablen führt zunächst dazu, dass der „gender pay gap“ zu über zwei Dritteln erklärt werden kann. Das tatsächliche Ausmaß der Nachteile von Frauen am Arbeitsmarkt wird erst unter Berücksichtigung von Selektionseffekten in eine Führungsposition sichtbar: Unter Einbezug von Selektionseffekten (Heckman-Korrektur) können die in den Verdienstschätzungen berücksichtigten Merkmale den „gender pay gap“ nur noch zu einem Drittel erklären. Zudem wird deutlich, dass Frauen auch innerhalb der Frauenberufe weniger verdienen als Männer (allokative Diskriminierung). Der zwei Drittel umfassende nicht erklärte Anteil am „gender pay gap“ („Resteffekt“) repräsentiert die unbeobachtete Heterogenität. Hierzu gehören zum Beispiel gesellschaftliche und kulturelle Rahmenbedingungen sowie Strukturen und Praktiken auf dem Arbeitsmarkt und in Unternehmen, die zum Nachteil von Frauen wirken und den Aufstieg in eine Führungsposition erschweren. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/96864/diw_sp0169.pdf SOEP D 5480 Falk, Armin, Dohmen, Thomas and Sunde, Uwe 2009 Kontrolliert und repräsentativ: Beispiele zur Komplementarität von Labor- und Felddaten Perspektiven der Wirtschaftspolitik 10 s1 54-74 2009: SOEPpapers 168.

Experiments offer highly controlled environments that allow precise testing and causal inferences. Survey and field data on the other hand provide information on large and representative samples of people interacting in their natural environment. We discuss several concrete examples how to combine lab and field data and how to exploit potential complementarities. One example describes an experiment, which is run with a representative sample to guarantee control and representativeness. The second example is based on the idea to experimentally validate survey instruments to ensure behavioral validity of instruments that can be used in existing panel data sets. The third example describes the possibility to use the lab to identify causal effects, which are tested in large data sets. Topics discussed in this paper comprise the relation of cognitive skills (IQ) and risk and time preferences, determinants, prevalence and economic consequences of risk attitudes, selection into incentive schemes and the impact of unfair pay on stress. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/96993/diw_sp0168.pdf SOEP D 5479 Naef, Michael and Schupp, Jürgen 2009 Measuring Trust: Experiments and Surveys in Contrast and Combination SOEPpapers 167 Berlin DIW Berlin 2009: IZA DP No. 4087. Bonn: Institute for the Study of Labor Report methodological 30 Discussion Paper methods, subjective indicators trust, experiment, survey, representativity, SOEP Trust is a concept that has attracted significant attention in economic theory and research within the last two decades: it has been applied in a number of contexts and has been investigated both as an explanatory and as a dependent variable. In this paper, we explore the questions of what exactly is measured by the diverse survey-derived scales and experiments claiming to measure trust, and how these different measures are related. Using nationally representative data, we test a commonly used experimental measure of trust for robustness to a number of interferences, finding it to be mostly unsusceptible to stake size, the extent of strategy space, the use of the strategy method, and the characteristics of the experimenters. Inspired by criticism of the widespread trust question used in many surveys, we created a new, improved survey trust scale consisting of three short statements. We show that the dimension of this scale is distinct from trust in institutions and trust in known others. Our new scale is a valid and reliable measure of trust in strangers. The scale is valid in the sense that it correlates with trusting behaviour in the experiment. Both survey and experimental measure correlate with related factors such as risk aversion, being an entrepreneur or a shareholder. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the survey measure's test-retest reliability (six weeks) is high. The experimental measure of trust is, on the other hand, not significantly correlated with trust in institutions nor with trust in known others. We conclude that the experimental measure of trust refers not to trust in a general sense, but specifically to trust in strangers. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/96389/diw_sp0167.pdf , http://ftp.iza.org/dp4087.pdf SOEP GB 5478 Maier, Friederike 2007 The Persistence of the Gender Wage Gap in Germany Harriet Taylor Mill-Institut für Ökonomie und Geschlechterforschung Discussion Paper 01, 12/2007 Berlin Fachhochschule für Wirtschaft Berlin, Harriet Taylor Mill-Insitut für Ökonomie und Geschlechterforschung Report cross-sectional 30 Discussion Paper labour, gender "The gender wage gap is remarkably persistent in Germany. Additionally it is among the European Member states one of the highest. The paper examines the empirical data which allow analysing the gender wage gap; it discusses the development of the gender pay gap over time, the trends in wage inequality and the incidence of low pay. As institutional factors are of certain importance, the paper describes the overall system of wage determination, especially the minimum wage regulations. Important is the treatment of gender way gaps in the equal pay legislation to date, which is analysed in detail. As firm level decisions are of great importance to constitute the gender wage gap, this aspect is discussed, too. The paper summarizes the actual state of the art in empirical studies on the gender pay gap in Germany and comes to the conclusion that relevant factors to explain the persistence are mainly structural factors like vertical and horizontal segregation, especially in the work place. Individual characteristics of women and men (human capital endowments) do play a minor role, but are still existent." http://www.harriet-taylor-mill.de/pdfs/discuss/Discussion%20Paper%2001%202007.pdf SOEP GB 5477 Dieckhoener, Caroline and Peichl, Andreas 2009 Financing Social Security - Simulating Different Welfare State Systems for Germany EUROMOD Working Paper No. EM 3/09 Cambridge University of Cambridge, Microsimulation Unit "2009: IZA DP No. 4135.

The aim of this paper is to simulate different financing systems for Germany. The introduction of a Liberal British or the Southern Greek financing system increases inequality and poverty, as well as labour supply incentives. The introduction of the Social-democratic Danish financing system decreases inequality of incomes, but does not necessarily lead to less poverty. Tax payments are extremely high, whereas social contribution payments are relatively low leading to mixed incentives effects. http://www.iser.essex.ac.uk/publications/working-papers/euromod/em3-09.pdf , http://ftp.iza.org/dp4135.pdf , http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/98055/diw_sp0180.pdf SOEP GB 5476 Pfeifer, Harald, Behringer, Friederike and Adam, Tanja 2008 Formalisierte berufliche Weiterbildung - Sekundäranalysen auf Basis des SOEP und anderer internationale vergleichender Erhebungen (BENEFIT) (Abschlussbericht des Forschungsprojekt Nr. 2.3.105) Bonn Bundesinstitut für Berufsbildung Report longitudinal 33 Other Grey Literature http://www2.bibb.de/tools/fodb/pdf/eb_23105.pdf SOEP D 5475 Kunz, Gabriele 2009 Neue Väter - altes Rollenmodell Psychologie heute 5/2009 8-9 Magazine Article citation of SOEP results 61 Popular Science Publication D 5474 Romeu Gordo, Laura, Motel-Klingebiel, Andreas and Wurm, Susanne 2009 SOEP as a Source for Research on Ageing - Issues, Measures and Possibilities for Improvement SOEPpapers 173 Berlin DIW Berlin 2009: RatSWD Working Paper 83/2009.

This measure is of interest in the context of assessing stressful work conditions in the era of economic globalization. In a representative sample of 10,698 employed men and women participating in the longitudinal Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) in Germany, a short version of the ERI questionnaire was included in the 2006 panel wave. Structural equation modeling and logistic regression analysis were applied. In addition to satisfactory internal consistency of scales, a model representing the theoretical structure of the scales provided the best data fit in a competitive test (RMSEA = 0.059, CAIC = 4124.19). Scoring high on the ERI scales was associated with elevated risks of poor self-rated health. This short version of the ERI questionnaire reveals satisfactory psychometric properties, and can be recommended for further use in research and practice.

They assume one representative household. Their results are sensitive to one behavioral parameter, the labor supply elasticity, which is assumed to be given exogenously. This paper presents a microeconometric evaluation of the labor supply and distribution effects of a dual income tax in Germany based on a representative sample of the German population. We observe small positive effects on labor supply and a small increase in economic inequality.

In this article, we investigate changes in employment for separating women and the impact of individual and institutional factors on these changes using data on 13 countries from the European Community Household Panel (19942001). Our dynamic analyses of the odds of employment entry and exit, and changes in working hours demonstrate that European women only modestly increase employment after separation, although in some countries this change is larger than in others. Important individual-level determinants of employment changes are education and labour market experience (positive effects), health (positive effect), and the presence of young children (negative effect). Institutional factors have opposing influences: more generous public childcare provisions encourage the employment of separated women, whereas more generous allowances for single parents discourage employment. The results underline the importance of distinguishing between income- and employment-related institutions in studying outcomes of union dissolution.

Based on estimated labor demand elasticities obtained from a structural labor demand model, the empirical results imply that minimum wages in Germany will be associated with significant employment losses among marginal and low- and semi-skilled full-time workers. Even though minimum wages will lead to increased public revenues from income taxes and social security benefits, they will result in a significant fiscal burden, due to increased unemployment benefits and decreased revenues from corporate taxes.

Although evidence now indicates substantial inter-individual variability in these reactions, prior research has been limited by its use of average trajectories. In this study, we used latent growth mixture modeling to identify specific patterns of individual variation in response to three major life events (bereavement, divorce, and marriage). A four-class trajectory solution provided the best fit for bereavement and marriage, while a three-class solution provided the best fit for divorce. Relevant covariates predicted trajectory class membership. The modal response across events was a relatively flat trajectory (i.e., no change). However, some trajectories diverged sharply from the modal response. Despite the tendency to maintain pre-event levels of SWB, there are multiple and often divergent trajectories in response to bereavement, divorce, and marriage, underscoring the essential role of individual differences. http://www.pse.ens.fr/clark/Mancini_Bonanno_Clark.pdf SOEP GB 5449 Kalina, Thorsten, Vanselow, Achim and Weinkopf, Claudia 2008 Niedriglöhne in Deutschland SPW - Zeitschrift für sozialistische Politik und Wirtschaft 164 20-24 Journal Article cross-sectional 04 Other Journal http://www.schattenblick.de/infopool/politik/wirtsch/pwar1572.html SOEP D 5448 Kalina, Thorsten 2008 Niedriglohnbeschäftigung in Deutschland – Sprungbrett oder Sackgasse?

Using a modern duality approach, this paper formally investigates differences occurring in industries with low skilled wage rigidity and, for the first time in literature, presents empirical evidence supporting the theoretical findings. Using a logit model to analyze microeconomic German panel data, results show that International Outsourcing significantly increases low skilled unemployment when taking place in industries characterized by low skilled wage rigidity. Thus, in terms of unemployment, not International Outsourcing but inflexible labor market institutions instead should be blamed for harming low skilled labor. http://www.fiw.ac.at/index.php?id=47, http://www.diw.de/soeppapers/volume_2008/77410.html#166 SOEP GB 5440 Sattler, Sebastian and Diewald, Martin 2009 Kosten und Nutzen der Sparsamkeit - Zur Erhebung sozialer Netzwerke und sozialer Unterstützungspotentiale in der Umfrageforschung SOEPpapers 165 Berlin DIW Berlin Report methodological 35 Other DIW Publications family and networks, methods social networks, network measurement, ego-centered networks, social relations, name generators, social capital, social support Die Erfassung egozentrierter Netzwerke kann sehr zeitaufwendig sein, was besonders in Mehrthemenumfragen zum Problem wird. Deshalb stellt sich die Frage, ob und welcher Informationsverlust durch verschiedene Sparsamkeitsstrategien bei der Erhebung auftritt. Zu Stellschrauben für Einsparungen zählen die Anzahl möglicher Nennungen von Alteri (unbegrenzt vs. begrenzt) und die Abfragevariante (freie Abfrage vs. Listenabfrage). Es wurden zwei mögliche Kombinationen untersucht und verglichen: unbegrenzt/frei und begrenzt/Listenabfrage. Die Verfügbarkeit von drei Datensätzen, die unterschiedlich viel Aufwand für die Netzwerkerhebung bei zum Teil gleichen Stimuli betrieben haben (SOEP: sparsam, Minipanel: ausführlicher, IDUN: sehr ausführlich), eröffnete hierfür Analysemöglichkeiten. Genauer betrachtet wurden in den angestellten Analysen: die Anzahl der generierten Nennungen, die Komposition der Netzwerke bezüglich ihres Herkunftskontextes und ein Test dieser Netzwerkmerkmale als Explanans. Neben den erwarteten Unterschieden in der Netzwerkgröße zeigten sich Effekte der Erhebungsform auch auf die Netzwerkkomposition. So wurden beim SOEP im Vergleich zu IDUN familiale und partnerschaftliche Beziehungen stark überschätzt, während nicht-verwandtschaftliche Beziehungen stark unterschätzt wurden. Wir können zudem zeigen, dass Sparsamkeitsbestrebungen nicht nur zu einem Informationsverlust, sondern auch zu unterschiedlichen Schlussfolgerungen hinsichtlich der Verfügbarkeit von Sozialkapital führen können. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.96292.de/diw_sp0165.pdf SOEP D 5439 Lipps, Oliver 2009 Attrition of Households and Individuals in Panel Surveys SOEPpapers 164 Berlin DIW Berlin Report methodological 35 Other DIW Publications methods CNEF, individual attrition, household attrition, attrition bias, reference person, household head Attrition is mostly caused by not contacted or refusing sample members. On one hand it is well-known that reasons to attrite due to non-contact are different from those that are due to refusal. On the other hand does non-contact most probably affect household attrition, while refusal can be effective on both households and individuals. In this article, attrition on both the household and (conditional on household participation) the individual level is analysed in three panel surveys from the Cross National Equivalent File (CNEF): the German Socio- Economic Panel (GSOEP), the British Household Panel Study (BHPS), and the Swiss Household Panel (SHP). To follow households over time we use a common rule in all three surveys. First, we find different attrition magnitudes and patterns both across the surveys and also on the household and the individual level. Second, there is more evidence for reinforced rather than compensated household level selection effects if the individual level is also taken into account. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/96125/diw_sp0164.pdf CNEF GB 5438 Esser, Hartmut 2009 The People of “Linden Tree Street” and the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) SOEPpapers 163 Berlin DIW Berlin Report mentions of the SOEP study 35 Other DIW Publications miscellaneous Lately I have been receiving numerous requests for contributions to commemorative publications, farewell speeches, and anniversary lectures. I cannot respond to all of these requests, especially since not all of them are as inspiring as the one today: the 25th (in words: the twenty-fifth!) wave of the SOEP! This is indeed an anniversary that should be duly celebrated and honored. The German soap opera “Lindenstrasse” (Linden Tree Street) that was first aired in December 1985 is almost as old as the SOEP. Who could have foreseen in 1984 that there would be so many waves of the SOEP and so many episodes of “Lindenstrasse” following that first one? In the following, I will address four different aspects. First, I will describe some of my impressions while participating in the establishment of the SOEP and its first waves. Second, I will draw attention to the SOEP’s role in current public debates (such as the one on migration issues). Third, I will describe my experiences as a SOEP user, and finally, I will elaborate on the great significance of the SOEP for the integration of the social sciences and their empirical methodologies. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/96095/diw_sp0163.pdf GB 5436 Braakmann, Nils 2009 The role of psychological traits for the gender gap in full-time employment and wages: Evidence from Germany SOEPpapers 162 Berlin DIW Berlin 2009: University of Lüneburg Working Paper Series in Economics No. 112. Lüneburg: Leuphana University Lüneburg, Institute of Economics Report cross-sectional 30 Discussion Paper labour, gender, subjective indicators Gender wage gap, non-cognitive traits, decomposition This paper shows that differences in various non-cognitive traits, specifically the “big five”, positive and negative reciprocity, locus of control and risk aversion, contribute to gender inequalities in wages and employment. Using the 2004 and 2005 waves of the German Socio-Economic Panel, evidence from regression and decomposition techniques suggests that gender differences in psychological traits are more important for inequalities in wages than in employment. Differences in the “big five”, in particular in agreeableness, conscientiousness and neurocitism matter for both wages and employment. For the latter, the results also show a large effect of differences in external locus of control. http://www.uni-lueneburg.de/vwl/RePEc/112.pdf, http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/96094/diw_sp0162.pdf SOEP GB 5435 Boll, Christina 2009 Lohneinbußen durch geburtsbedingte Erwerbsunterbrechungen ? fertilitätstheoretische Einordnung, Quantifizierung auf Basis von SOEP-Daten und familienpolitische Implikationen SOEPpapers 160 Berlin DIW Berlin 2009: HWWI Research Paper 1-19. Hamburg: Hamburgisches WeltWirtschaftsInstitut Report longitudinal 30 Discussion Paper labour, income and poverty, gender, family and networks Die hier referierte Untersuchung hat zum Ziel, die Auswirkungen von Erwerbsunterbrechungen von Frauen im Zusammenhang mit der Geburt ihres ersten Kindes auf die Lohnentwicklung der Frau in ihrem weiteren Erwerbsverlauf zu berechnen. Auf Basis dieser Ergebnisse sollen sowohl ein Erklärungsbeitrag zum Fertilitätsverhalten deutscher Frauen geleistet als auch Ansatzpunkte für familienpolitische Instrumente aufgezeigt werden, die geburtsbedingten Lohneinbußen zu vermindern. Der – zumindest für Westdeutschland auf Grund der „mageren“ institutionellen Kinderbetreuungsinfrastruktur in den ersten drei Lebensjahren noch immer enge – Zusammenhang zwischen Arbeitsangebots- und Fertilitätsentscheidungen lässt Rückschlüsse auf die Opportunitätskosten von Kindern zu: Entgangene Lohneinkommen sind ein Teil des Kinderpreises, den Frauen zahlen, wenn sie – betreuungsbedingt – zumindest befristet aus dem Erwerbsleben aussteigen. Betrachtet man Kinder als normales Gut, wird die Nachfrage nach Kindern daher nicht nur einkommensseitig, sondern auch über den Substitutionseffekt dieses Schattenpreises beeinflusst, wobei zwischen dem unmittelbaren Lohnausfall während der Erwerbsunterbrechung einerseits und den mittelbaren Lohneinbußen, die sich auf Grund der Humankapitaleffekte der Unterbrechung ergeben, andererseits unterschieden werden muss. Dem Paper wird eine Zusammenfassung vorangestellt. Der sich daran anschließende Aufbau ist wie folgt: In Abschnitt I werden im Kontext dynamischer Fertilitätsmodelle die von Lohneinbußen ausgehenden Vorzieh- bzw. Aufschiebungseffekte der Geburtenentscheidung umrissen. Im Zusammenhang mit den Timing-Effekten der übrigen Kindernachfrage-Determinanten erscheint es theoretisch möglich, dass das Elterngeld in seiner jetzigen Form – entgegen der politischen Absicht – Anreize zu einer weiteren zeitlichen Verzögerung von Geburtenentscheidungen bietet. Zusätzlich wird die erwerbsbiografisch bedingte Bruttolohnentwicklung der Mutter auch in den Kontext von Bargaining-Modellen gestellt, die die Frage des „Ob“ der Geburt und des damit einhergehenden asymmetrischen Spezialisierungsrisikos der Frau thematisieren, wobei nicht die Summe barwertiger Lohnverluste, sondern der sich im aktuell erzielbaren Marktlohnsatz spiegelnde Drohpunkt aus individueller Sicht Nutzen bestimmend sowohl inner- als auch außerhalb der Partnerschaft und damit für die Zeitallokationsentscheidung der Frau relevant ist. http://www.hwwi.org/uploads/tx_wilpubdb/HWWI_Research_Paper_1-19_01.pdf, http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/96092/diw_sp0160.pdf SOEP D 5434 o.V. 2009 Familienunterstützende Dienstleistungen: Jobchancen für Geringqualifizierte iwd 35 9 4-5 Magazine Article citation of SOEP results 62 Professional Newsletter http://www.etracker.de/lnkcnt.php?et=lKbSM9&url=http://www.iwkoeln.de/Portals/0/pdf/pm09_09iwd.pdf D 5433 Spiess, C.

Using Eurobarometer data on 29 countries, this paper provides cross-sectional evidence that overweight perceptions and dieting are influenced by a person's relative BMI, and longitudinal evidence from the German Socioeconomic Panel that well-being is influenced by relative BMI. Highly educated people see themselves as fatter -- at any given actual weight -- than those with low education. These results should be treated cautiously, and fixed-effects estimates are not always well-determined, but there are grounds to take seriously the possibility of socially contagious obesity.

Report longitudinal 30 Discussion Paper Using longitudinal data on fathers and their children, this study compares the extent of intergenerational mobility in Germany and the United States and introduces an estimation strategy that corrects estimates of intergenerational earnings elasticities for a possible lifecycle bias. In contrast to previous studies, we find that the extent of intergenerational mobility is more limited in the US than in Germany. Furthermore, while the errors-in-variables problems have been dealt with extensively in the literature, the inconsistencies in standard mobility measures due to lifecycle effects have attracted much less attention. The present paper proposes an estimation method that corrects for such inconsistencies. The extent of this lifecycle bias is found to be strong in Germany but only modest in the US.Keywords: Intergenerational mobility, lifecycle bias, comparison of Germany and the US. http://sfb649.wiwi.hu-berlin.de/papers/pdf/SFB649DP2006-055.pdf SOEP GB 5423 Brussig, Martin and Nordhause-Janz, Jürgen 2006 Der Renteneintritt im Spannungsfeld von institutionellem Umfeld und Haushaltskontext Institut Arbeit und Technik Jahrbuch 2006 Gelsenkirchen Institut Arbeit und Technik 23-40 Book Section longitudinal 20 Book Section http://www.iat.eu/aktuell/veroeff/jahrbuch/jahrb06/03-brussig-nordhause-janz.pdf SOEP D 5422 Luhmann, Maike and Eid, Michael 2009 Does it Really Feel the Same?

Üblicherweise wird diese Lohnkluft durch Unterschiede zwischen Frauen und Männern bezüglich ihrer Qualifikation, Berufswahl und Berufserfahrung erklärt; aber auch dadurch, dass Frauen häufiger Diskriminierungen durch den Arbeitgeber ausgesetzt sind. Doch es gibt noch einen weiteren Unterschied, der in Verbindung mit Einkommensdifferenzen gebracht werden kann: Männer arbeiten nach wie vor weniger im Haushalt als Frauen. Unter Vollzeit Beschäftigten verrichten Männer etwa eine Stunde weniger Hausarbeit pro Tag. Dadurch können Frauen insgesamt weniger Zeit und Energie in ihre Erwerbstätigkeit investieren. Tatsächlich zeigen Einkommensanalysen, dass die für häusliche Tätigkeiten wie Kochen, Putzen oder Waschen verwendete Zeit den individuellen Arbeitsverdienst negativ beeinflusst.

Berlin: DIW Berlin Report methodological 30 Discussion Paper transfer systems, methods Microsimulation, CGE, linked micro macro models, flat tax Mircrosimulation (MS) and Computable General Equilibrium models (CGE) have both been widely used in policy analysis. Their combination allows the utilisation of the advantages of both types. The aim of this paper is to describe the state-of-the-art in simulation analysis and to illustrate the benefits and problems of linking micro and macro models by analysing flat tax reform proposals for Germany. Taking feedback effects into account has important implications for the evaluation of tax reforms. The analysis shows that a personal income flat tax can indeed overcome the fundamental equity efficiency trade-off while simultaneously increasing the tax revenue. However, this result does not hold for a flat tax combining a personal income flat tax with a corporate cash flow flat tax, even when allowing for an ex-post loss in revenue as the top of the distribution still gains the most. http://www.iser.essex.ac.uk/publications/working-papers/iser/2009-02.pdf , http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/98169/diw_sp0182.pdf SOEP GB 5402 Shirahase, Sawako 2009 Delay in Marriage and Income Inequality in Japan: The Impact of the Increased Number of Unmarried Adults Living with Their Parents on the Household Economy Luxembourg Income Study Working Paper No. 510 Luxembourg Luxembourg Income Study (LIS) 2009: SOEPpapers 190. Berlin: DIW Berlin Report cross-sectional 30 Discussion Paper income and poverty, family and networks, international comparison Income Inequality, Co-residency of unmarried adults with Parents, Delay in marriage The continuous decline in the fertility rate has been witnessed since 1980 in Japan. Japan’s total fertility rate in 2005 is 1.32, which is far below the replacement rate, 2.08. One of the main reasons for declining the fertility rate is the delay in marriage or even shy away from marriage among young adults. In this paper, looking at youth in terms of their relation to the household, we will examine the economic disparities of unmarried adults living with their parents in Japan in comparative perspective with Europe and U.S. The countries which I analyze in this paper are France, Germany, Italy, Sweden, U.K., U.S., and Taiwan, compared with Japan. The paper consists of two parts. First, I will examine economic disparities among households with unmarried adults, and second, the determinants of co-residence with their parents will be scrutinized. The degree of the Japanese youth unemployment rate is not as high as those in European countries, but it is commonly found that the youth tend to be targeted by economic downturns, and that they are exposed to high economic risk. Young unmarried people do not always live alone, but share their households with their family, mostly their parents. Less than 20 percent of unmarried adults live alone in Japan, and in Italy and Taiwan, its corresponding figures are even lower than that in Japan. The proportion of income derived from unmarried adults in the household economy is more or less negatively associated with family income. Therefore, unmarried adults are not always dependent on their parents in the household but there are cases in which unmarried adults are the ones who support the family income by living with their parents, particularly in low-income groups. The economic role of unmarried adult children in the household differs by the level of household economy. In determining if unmarried adults live with their parents, the economic factor is important for both men and women. Since their individual income is not high enough to have their independent households, they stay in their parental home. The most interesting finding in this analysis is on the gender role in living arrangement with their parents. Unmarried female adults are less likely to stay in their parental home if their mothers are at work, while there is no significant impact of mother’s work on their male counterparts. Unmarried daughters are like to be expected to take over the mother’s role in the households when she is in the labor force, so there is a gendered allocation of family role for unmarried adults. Thus, the economic levels of unmarried adults and the gender constrain in allocating family roles were important in determining the living arrangement with the parents. http://www.lisproject.org/publications/liswps/510.pdf , http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/98939/diw_sp0190.pdf LIS GB 5401 Gornick, Janet C. and Jäntti, Markus 2009 Child Poverty in Upper-Income Countries: Lessons from the Luxembourg Income Study Luxembourg Income Study Working Paper No. 509 Luxembourg Luxembourg Income Study (LIS) Report cross-sectional 30 Discussion Paper income and poverty, family and networks, international comparison http://www.lisproject.org/publications/liswps/509.pdf LIS GB 5400 Diewald, Martin, Sattler, Sebastian, Wendt, Verena and Lang, Frieder R. 2009 Verwandtschaft und verwandtschaftliche Beziehungen Karl Lenz, Frank Nestmann Handbuch Persönliche Beziehungen Weinheim, München Juventa 423-444 Book Section cross-sectional 20 Book Section SOEP D 5399 Groh-Samberg, Olaf 2008 Zunahme verfestigter Armut in Deutschland zur debatte 7 21-22 Magazine Article longitudinal 60 Popular Publication SOEP D 5398 Leuze, Kathrin and Rusconi, Alessandra 2009 Karriere ist Männersache.

Berlin: DIW Berlin Report longitudinal 30 Discussion Paper labour, gender professions, sex segregation, labor market outcomes, family formation, tertiary education, Germany Occupational sex segregation is a persistent source of social inequalities. The increasing participation of women in tertiary education and rising female employment rates, however, have given hope that gender inequalities will decline as a result of growing female opportunities for high skill employment in the service sector, e.g. the professions. This paper asks whether such optimistic accounts are justified by comparing male and female professional career trajectories in Germany. Our main assumptions hold that, even today, strong gender differences continue to exist between public and private sector professions, which are further aggravated by different forms of family commitment. Overall, our analyses demonstrate that even among highly qualified men and women, important patterns of sex segregation are present. An initial horizontal segregation between public and private sectors brings about “equal, but different” career prospects, which in the phase of family formation turn into vertical segregation, promoting “different and therefore unequal” labor market chances. http://bibliothek.wz-berlin.de/pdf/2009/i09-501.pdf , http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/98938/diw_sp0187.pdf SOEP GB 5395 Lang, Frieder R. 2008 Die Vielfalt des Alterns: Balance zwischen Hoffnung und Angst Helmut Neuhaus Angst.

Sie bleibt in den meisten sozialwissenschaftlichen Studien (z. B. Mikrozensus) unentdeckt, weil nur Partnerschaften innerhalb eines Haushalts untersucht werden. Das Sozio-oekonomische Panel (SOEP) bietet die einzigartige Möglichkeit, seit 1992 in Gesamtdeutschland LAT-Partnerschaften getrennt von Alleinleben und nichtehelicher Lebensgemeinschaft zu identifizieren. Die vorliegende Studie nutzt dies, um vier Hypothesen zu LAT zu testen: LAT hat historisch zugenommen; nimmt bis zum Ende der weiblichen Reproduktionsphase (40 Jahre) ab; ist danach eher eine eigenständige Lebensform ohne nachfolgendes Zusammenwohnen; und ist in allen Altersgruppen instabiler als Kohabitation und Ehe.

Design/methodology/approach - Based on data from the German Socio-economic Panel, a large-scale panel survey, the paper captures the non-linear nature of the adaptation process by using an Exponential Smooth Transition Autoregressive (ESTAR) model. Findings - The study finds that adaptation takes place in a non-linear fashion, with the speed of adjustment being higher for high earners, those with high pre-unemployment levels of life satisfaction and those who were most satisfied with their jobs before becoming unemployed. It also finds that most of the adaptation takes place during the first year of unemployment, with adaptation speeds decreasing with unemployment duration, suggestive of possible habituation effects being present. Originality/value - This is the first study to model the dynamic path of adjustment towards pre-unemployment wellbeing levels as a non-linear process. Despite the challenge posed by adaptation theory and the recent interest in the wellbeing effects of job loss, there is only sparse empirical evidence on the dynamics of the adaptation to unemployment process.

This policy mainly targets low-income households. Using data from the German Socio-economic Panel, we scrutinize the impact of the Riester scheme on private savings. Our empirical strategy consists of treating the introduction of the Riester scheme as a natural experiment. The estimation results cast some doubts on the effectiveness of the Riester scheme in raising private savings and call for enhanced systematic efforts to evaluate that policy. http://hdl.handle.net/10419/27673 SOEP GB 5376 Anger, Silke and Kvasnicka, Michael 2009 Does smoking really harm your earnings so much?

This article asks what makes for a good start after higher education and provides an institutional perspective on the specific ""production mechanisms"" of graduate career mobility in different countries. It argues that the occupational specificity of higher education is vital for establishing either a close or loose link to the labor market, and, accordingly, for shaping early labor market careers. To test this assumption empirically, it analyzes how the organization of professional and management training influences graduate career mobility in two countries that are significantly different in their degree of occupational specificity—Great Britain and Germany. The institutional analysis points to a tight link between higher education and work in Germany and a loose one in Britain. However, the application of discrete time piece-wise constant hazard models to the German Socioeconomic Panel and two British cohort studies (the National Child Development Study and the British Cohort Study 1970) reveals that the picture is more complex than initially assumed. The degree of occupational specificity can explain only the German pattern, where graduates are experiencing more job continuity and higher employment chances in professional and managerial positions than their British counterparts. In Britain, the more turbulent transition from higher education to work depends on a mixture of occupation-specific training and demographic factors."

FinanzArchiv 64 2 171-198 10.1628/001522108X334830 Journal Article Simulation 02 SSCI Journal The paper aims to assess tax-favored retirement accounts in a general-equilibrium overlapping-generations economy with idiosyncratic income risk and borrowing constraints. Our simulations indicate that tax-favored retirement accounts as implemented in many OECD countries will have a significant impact on savings and transitional capital accumulation. In our most preferred specification, the latter will rise by roughly 6%, while about 22% of retirement account contributions are additional savings. While existing generations are worse off, future generations benefit significantly from higher bequests, higher wages, and lower tax burdens. However, since the reform also alters the insurance provision of the tax system, aggregate efficiency effects are mostly either negative or insignificant. Finally, it turns out that withdrawal penalties and tax-exempted accounts have positive growth and distributional implications.

Die Analysen des vorliegenden Beitrags beruhen auf Daten des Sozio-ökonomischen Panels (SOEP). Hauptziel der Untersuchung ist es, die Unterschiede in der Entwicklung der Reallöhne zwischen unterschiedlichen sozialen Gruppen zu bestimmen. Konzeptionell stützt sich der Beitrag dabei sowohl auf ökonomische als auch soziologische Theorien zur Erklärung von Lohnungleichheit. Auf dieser Grundlage zeigen die empirischen Ergebnisse des Beitrags erstens, dass die Ungleichheit der Reallöhne seit 1998 deutlich zugenommen hat. Der hier beobachtete Zuwachs der Ungleichheit ist auf eine negative Entwicklung der Löhne im unteren Einkommensbereich sowie auf einen gleichzeitigen Anstieg der Löhne im mittleren und oberen Einkommensbereich zurückzuführen. Ein detaillierterer Blick auf Lohnunterschiede nach sozialer Position bzw. Gruppenzugehörigkeit zeigt zweitens, dass MigrantInnen, ArbeitnehmerInnen mit Arbeitslosigkeitserfahrungen sowie Personen in unteren Berufsklassen zu den Verlierern der aktuellen Einkommensdynamik in der Bundesrepublik gehören. Zu den Gewinnern sind vor allem die Personen in den oberen Berufsklassen zu zählen. http://www.zfs-online.org/index.php/zfs/article/viewFile/1283/820 SOEP D 5363 Brown, Sarah and Taylor, Karl 2008 Household debt and financial assets: evidence from Germany, Great Britain and the USA Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series A - Statistics in Society 171 3 615 - 643 2005: Discussion Papers in Economics 05/5.

If human capital depreciation due to family related career breaks is lower in female than in male occupations, this can explain occupational sex segregation because women will take the costs of future breaks into account when optimizing their lifetime earnings. We find that short-run depreciation rates in high-skilled occupations are significantly lower in female than in male occupations. In low-skilled occupations, there is no evidence of this difference. Our findings support the self-selection hypothesis with respect to occupational sex segregation in the more skilled jobs, i.e. high-skilled women might deliberately choose female occupations because of the lower short-term wage penalties for family-related career interruptions. http://ideas.repec.org/p/dgr/umaror/2007007.html SOEP GB 5361 Machado, José A.

Using cross-sectional data from the 1997 German Socio-Economic Panel and the 1997 Panel of Income Dynamics, we compare the process of integration of four generational cohorts of Turks in Germany and Mexicans in the United States, focusing on markets, welfare, and culture. The comparative analysis of the data supports Gary Freeman's 'patchwork' hypothesis that integration in Western democracies is happening not monolithically, or in a linear fashion, but rather in the form of irregular patchworks. The specific patchworks revealed by our data include some progress toward integration, in particular in the market sector, as well as stagnation, and perhaps exclusion, in others.

The key finding is that state and trait variance contribute approximately equally to the reliable variance in well being measures. Most of the occasion specific variance is random measurement error, although occasion-specific variation in state variance makes a reliable contribution for some measures. Moreover, the study shows high similarity in life satisfaction and average domain satisfaction for the stable trait component (r = .97), indicating that these two measures are influenced by the same stable dispositions. In contrast, state variance of the two measures is distinct, although still highly correlated (r = .77). Error variances of the two measures are only weakly correlated, indicating that most of the error component is indeed due to random measurement error.

It is shown that individuals who become more religious over time record long term gains in life satisfaction, while those who become less religious record long term losses. This result holds net of the effects of personality traits, and also in fixed effects panel models. The paper has significant implications for the current paradigm theory in SWB research, namely set-point theory. This theory holds that the long term SWB of adult individuals is stable, because SWB depends on personality traits and other stable genetic factors. New evidence in this paper about the effects of consciously chosen life goals, including religious ones, on SWB is hard to reconcile with set-point theory. It is more in line with authentic happiness theory. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/92966/diw_sp0151.pdf , http://ftp.iza.org/dp3915.pdf SOEP GB 5341 Riphahn, Regina T. and Trübswetter, Parvati 2008 New evidence on the complementarity of education and training Mimeo Erlangen-Nuremberg 2007: LASER Discussion Paper No. 4.

We first discuss potential benefits of using questions similar to those in the SOEP for studies where researchers are interested in using the SOEP as reference data. We present a comprehensive list of SOEP core questions that we recommend researchers to consider when collecting their own data. We focus on seven topics: (1) demographic and parental characteristics; (2) labour market; (3) health; (4) personality, preferences, and subjective orientations; (5) subjective wellbeing; (6) political involvement and participation, and finally, a set of core questions for young children before they enter school. Of course the selection of a minimum set of questions depends on the research question. In this paper, we offer general advice for the selection of variables to researchers interested in comparing their own data with the SOEP.

This study applies recent panel data and estimation approaches that control for hitherto neglected biases. We compare the life-cycle structure of East and West German wages for fulltime employed men in the private sector. The patterns in the returns to seniority are similar for the two regional labour markets. The returns to experience lag behind in the East German labour market, even almost 20 years after unification, with significant differences particularly for high-skill workers. The results are robust when only individuals who started their labour market career in the market economy are considered. We expect that the different returns are related to the heterogeneity of work experience gathered in East as compared with West Germany. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/92965/diw_sp0148.pdf , http://ftp.iza.org/dp3861.pdf , http://www.ifo.de/pls/guestci/download/CESifo%20Working%20Papers%202008/CESifo%20Working%20Papers%20December%202008%20/cesifo1_wp2511.pdf SOEP GB 5303 Schäfers, Markus 2008 Lebensqualität aus Nutzersicht.

Exploiting German reunification as a natural experiment, I analyze the validity of the life-cycle consumption model. I derive three stylized features concerning the saving behavior of East versus West Germans after reunification: (i) East Germans have higher saving rates than West Germans; (ii) this East-West gap is increasing in age at reunification; and (iii) for every cohort, this gap is declining over time. I show that a comprehensive life-cycle model can replicate these features. The precautionary saving motive is essential for the success of the model." http://www.wiwi.uni-frankfurt.de/professoren/fuchs/staff/fuchs/paper1.pdf SOEP GB 5287 o.V. 2008 Weniger Menschen von Armut bedroht Die Zeit online vom 11.06.2008.Newspaper Article citation of SOEP results 60 Popular Publication http://www.zeit.de/online/2008/24/meldung-armutsrisiko D 5286 Baethge, Henning 2008 Soziale Aufstiegschancen nicht größer als vor 20 Jahren capital.de vom 15.06.2008.Newspaper Article citation of SOEP results 60 Popular Publication http://www.capital.de/politik/100011969.html D 5285 Schmoll, Heike 2008 Früher Kindergartenbesuch Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) vom 30.04.2008 8.Newspaper Article citation of SOEP results 60 Popular Publication D 5284 Fricke, Thomas 2008 Schreckhafte Mittelschicht Financial Times Deutschland vom 09.05.2008.Newspaper Article citation of SOEP results 60 Popular Publication D 5283 Plickert, Philip, Fehr, Benedikt and Müller, Matthias 2008 Die Senioren haben mehr als die Jüngeren Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) vom 22.04.2008 11.Newspaper Article citation of SOEP results 60 Popular Publication D 5282 o.V. 2008 Fast jeder Fünfte in Deutschland lebt in Armut Berliner Zeitung vom 22.04.2008 6.Newspaper Article citation of SOEP results 60 Popular Publication D 5281 Klinger, Nadja 2008 In der Mitte wird es eng Tagesspiegel vom 20.04.2008.Newspaper Article citation of SOEP results 60 Popular Publication "http://www.tagesspiegel.de/zeitung/Die-Dritte-Seite-Mittelschicht;art705,2516435" D 5280 Wehaus, Reiner 2008 Kluft zwischen Arm und Reich wächst Stuttgarter Nachrichten vom 29.03.2008 15.Newspaper Article citation of SOEP results 60 Popular Publication http://www.stuttgarter-nachrichten.de/stn/page/detail.php/1651448 D 5279 Wiedemann, Günther M. 2008 Die deutsche Mittelschicht bröckelt Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger vom 01.04.2008 9.Newspaper Article citation of SOEP results 60 Popular Publication D 5278 Neveling, Elmar 2008 Mehr in Bildung investieren (Interview mit Markus Grabka) VDI Nachrichten vom 04.04.2008 Magazine Article citation of SOEP results 60 Popular Publication http://www.vdi-nachrichten.com/vdi-nachrichten/aktuelle_ausgabe/akt_ausg_detail.asp?cat=1&id=37869&source=homepage D 5277 o.V. 2008 Wenn der Job weg ist, fehlt nicht nur das Geld Delmenhorster Kreisblatt vom 03.03.2008.Newspaper Article citation of SOEP results 60 Popular Publication D 5276 von Petersdorff, Winand 2008 In Deutschland stimmt die Balance nicht mehr Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung vom 09.03.2008 40.Newspaper Article citation of SOEP results 60 Popular Publication D 5275 Herrmann, Ulrike and Gaede, Lars 2008 Die Mittelschicht schrumpft die tageszeitung (taz) vom 05.03.2008.Newspaper Article citation of SOEP results 60 Popular Publication http://www.taz.de/1/politik/deutschland/artikel/1/die-mittelschicht-schrumpft/?src=TE&cHash=e59cdbe5e7 D 5274 Schupp, Jürgen and Wagner, Gert G. 2008 Verzerrte Wahrnehmung Financial Times Deutschland vom 05.03.2008.Newspaper Article citation of SOEP results 60 Popular Publication D 5273 Sosalla, Ulrike 2008 Das Abi in die Krippe gelegt Financial Times Deutschland vom 04.03.2008.Newspaper Article citation of SOEP results 60 Popular Publication D 5272 Schweers, Nicolas 2008 Die goldenen Jahre sind vorbei (Interview mit Joachim Frick) stern.de vom 05.03.2008.Newspaper Article citation of SOEP results 60 Popular Publication http://www.stern.de/wirtschaft/immobilien/verbraucher/:Schrumpfende-Mittelschicht-Die-Jahre/613084.html D 5271 Faigle, Philipp 2008 Die Angst geht um ZEIT online vom 05.03.2008.Newspaper Article citation of SOEP results 60 Popular Publication http://www.zeit.de/online/2008/10/mittelschicht D 5270 Sauga, Michael and Triebe, Benjamin 2008 Wo ist die Mitte?

Berlin: DIW Berlin Journal Article cross-sectional 05 DIW Weekly Report SOEP respondents have been asked about their participation in voluntary activities ever since the Survey started in 1984. Here we provide evidence about stability and change in levels of participation over the last twenty years. It is often suggested that an ageing society requires, or would benefit from more voluntary and caring activity. More people are in need of assistance and there may be more people, including the retired and semi-retired, with enough time to provide it. In April 2008 Federal Minister Ursula von der Leyen (Ministry of Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth) announced a new initiative to foster the voluntary activities of Senior Citizens with a budget of 22 Million Euro. http://www.diw.de/documents/dokumentenarchiv/17/91272/soep_wave_report_2008.pdf, http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/96673/diw_wr_2009-6.pdf SOEP GB 5233 Tucci, Ingrid 2008 German attitudes to immigration linked to economic self-interest Bruce Headey, Elke Holst SOEP Wave Report 1-2008.

A Quarter Century of Change: Results from the German Socio-Economic Panel, 75-80, Berlin: DIW Berlin Journal Article longitudinal 04 Other Journal labour For some years now the German Government has been imposing increasingly strict job search requirements on unemployed people. One aim of current policy is to ensure that, if citizens accept unemployment benefits, they must actively search for work. Clearly, case managers try to match jobs to the qualifications of their clients, but it is generally required that individuals must take any job they are capable of doing, or risk losing benefits. One implied and sometimes stated justification for the requirement is that, once a person enters or re-enters the job market, he/she may have an improved chance of finding a better paying or more satisfying job, compared with someone who remains unemployed. Simply put, the idea is that any job is better than none, that 'bad' jobs may lead to 'good' jobs, or at least to 'better' jobs. http://www.diw.de/documents/dokumentenarchiv/17/91272/soep_wave_report_2008.pdf , http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/98510/diw_wr_2009-11.pdf SOEP GB 5228 Headey, Bruce 2008 Jobless households: children growing up with no role model in the world of work Bruce Headey, Elke Holst SOEP Wave Report 1-2008.

Berlin: DIW Berlin, 11-16 Journal Article longitudinal 05 DIW Weekly Report family and networks, education "Questions about the advantages and disadvantages of sending young children to formal day care (""Kindertageseinrichtungen"") have always greatly concerned parents and led to intense, if not always well informed, policy debate. Two issues have been foremost. One is whether young children removed from their parents' care for part of the day suffer long term emotional consequences, or whether on the contrary, interaction with other children and with carers improves their social skills and confidence. Results are generally positive for children over three years old, but mixed for children under three, with some studies indicating negative socio-emotional consequences (Rossbach, 2005), and others reporting no negative emotional results and clear gains in social competence (Tietze, 1998; Andersson, 1989, 1992; NICHD, 2000, 2001). The second issue, dealt with in this article, relates to children's school outcome. Do children who have been to formal day care which exposes them to some pre-school learning achieve better, the same, or worse educational results in their later school years? If they do better, how long does the advantage last? Does it persist through to secondary school?" http://www.diw.de/documents/dokumentenarchiv/17/91272/soep_wave_report_2008.pdf, http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/96357/diw_wr_2009-5.pdf SOEP GB 5218 Headey, Bruce and Holst, Elke 2008 SOEP Wave Report 1-2008.

Berlin: DIW Berlin 10.3790/schm.129.2.241 Journal Article methodological 03 Refereed Journal methods, subjective indicators I define wellbeing as preference realization. Wellbeing can be measured with affective (the amount of pleasant versus unpleasant experiences) and cognitive (satisfaction with life in general and life domains) measures. Since its inception 25 years ago, the SOEP has included cognitive measures of wellbeing. In 2007, the SOEP included four items (happy, sad, angry, afraid) as an affective measure of wellbeing. This paper examines similarities and differences between cognitive and affective measures of wellbeing. In the end, I propose a wellbeing index that combines information from measures of life satisfaction, average domain satisfaction and affect balance. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/90712/diw_sp0145.pdf SOEP GB 5215 Hadjar, Andreas, Haunberger, Sigrid and Schubert, Frank 2008 Bildung und subjektives Wohlbefinden im Zeitverlauf, 1984-2002 Berliner Journal für Soziologie 18 3 370-400 Journal Article longitudinal 02 SSCI Journal SOEP D 5214 Busch, Anne and Holst, Elke 2008 "Regionale Einflussfaktoren auf den ""Gender Pay Gap"" in Deutschland" Harald Hagemann, Gustav Horn, Hans-Jürgen Krupp Aus gesamtwirtschaftlicher Sicht.

We find that individuals’ cognitive skills are positively related to their parents’ abilities, despite controlling for educational attainment and family background. Differentiating between mothers’ and fathers’ IQ transmission, we find different effects on the cognition of sons and daughters. Cognitive skills that are based on past learning are more strongly transmitted between generations than skills that are related to innate abilities. Our findings are not compatible with a pure genetic model but rather point to the importance of parental investments for children’s cognitive outcomes. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/95403/diw_sp0156.pdf , http://www.laser.uni-erlangen.de/papers/paper/71.pdf SOEP GB 5196 Schneider, Thorsten 2008 Social Inequality in Educational Participation in the German School System in a Longitudinal Perspective: Pathways into and out of the most Prestigious School Track European Sociological Review 24 4 511-526 Journal Article longitudinal 02 SSCI Journal SOEP GB 5195 Jantti, Markus, Sierminska, Eva and Smeeding, Tim 2008 The Joint Distribution of Household Income and Wealth.

Using longitudinal data from the German Socio-Economic Panel, we first show that the presence of a family in West Germany is an important predictor for the migration hazard rate of East Germans. We then explore whether pre-migration networks have a discernible impact on the economic and social assimilation of East German immigrants in West Germany. We find that East German immigrants are more likely to be employed and to hold higher paying jobs when socially connected to the West prior to emigrating. http://www.iser.essex.ac.uk/pubs/workpaps/pdf/2008-36.pdf SOEP GB 5193 Estévez-Abe, Margarita and Hethey, Tanja 2008 How Policies Affect Women’s Economic Position within the Family: Labor Market Institutions and Wives’ Contribution to Household Income Luxembourg Income Study Working Paper No. 505 Luxembourg Luxembourg Income Study (LIS) Report cross-sectional 30 Discussion Paper gender, labour, international comparison http://www.lisproject.org/publications/liswps/505.pdf LIS GB 5192 Aldashev, Alisher, Gernandt, Johannes and Thomsen, Stephan L. 2008 The Immigrant Wage Gap in Germany ZEW Discussion Paper No. 08-089 Mannheim Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) 2008: FEMM-Working Paper 08-19.

In addition to networks of civic engagement and informal social connections with family and friends, the identity- and status-bridging nature of these networks are also considered. Results based on data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP) suggest that both, subjective religiosity and public religious practice, have a positive impact on social integration in Germany. But religious traditions – Catholicism, Protestantism, other Christians and Islam – differ in this regard. While attending religious services leads to larger friendship networks and increased sociability in all religions, civic engagement is only fostered by Christian religiosity and in particular Protestantism. However, none of the religious traditions encourages identity- or status-bridging social capital. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/90639/diw_sp0144.pdf SOEP D 5190 Haan, Peter and Navarro, Dolores 2008 Optimal Income Taxation of Married Couples: An Empirical Analysis of Joint and Individual Taxation DIW Discussion Paper No. 838 Berlin DIW Berlin 2008: IZA DP No. 3816.

In contrast to the often used headcount, these new measures are sensitive to changes in rich individuals' incomes and, therefore, allow for a more sophisticated analysis of richness. We demonstrate the application of these new measures in analyzing the development of poverty and richness over time in Germany. Moreover, we compare Germany to many other European countries and investigate the impact of tax reforms on poverty and richness. Using these examples, we show the importance of taking the intensity of changes into account and not only the number of people beyond a given richness line (headcount). We propose to use the new measures in addition to the headcount index for a more comprehensive analysis of richness. http://ftp.iza.org/dp3790.pdf SOEP GB 5179 Boeters, Stefan and Feil, Michael 2008 Heterogeneous Labour Markets in a Microsimulation-AGE Model: Application to Welfare Reforms in Germany ZEW Discussion Paper No. 08-043 Mannheim Centre for European Economic Research (ZEW) 2008: IAB Discussion Paper No. 25/2008: Nürnberg: Institut für Arbeitsmarkt und Berufsforschung (IAB) Report Simulation 30 Discussion Paper labour, transfer systems, econometrics http://opus.zbw-kiel.de/volltexte/2008/7353/pdf/dp08043.pdf , http://doku.iab.de/discussionpapers/2008/dp2508.pdf SOEP GB 5178 Coneus, Katja, Gernandt, Johannes and Saam, Marianne 2008 Noncognitive Skills, Internet Use and Educational Dropout ZEW Discussion Paper No. 08-044 Mannheim Centre for European Economic Research (ZEW) Report cross-sectional 30 Discussion Paper labour, education, subjective indicators education, unemployment, wages, noncognitive skills, computer use Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel for the years 2000 to 2006 we analyze the determinants and labor market effects of educational dropout. In addition to classical variables like family background and occupation, we examine noncognitive skills and Internet use. Noncognitive skills and Internet availability at home are negatively associated with the probability of becoming an educational dropout. The wage gap between dropouts and those with completed school and professional education vanishes for males once we control for additional characteristics such as occupations, professional Internet use and noncognitive skills. For females it is reduced to four percent. ftp://ftp.zew.de/pub/zew-docs/dp/dp08044.pdf SOEP GB 5177 Biewen, Martin and Steffes, Susanne 2010 Unemployment Persistence: Is There Evidence for Stigma Effects?

One, countries import only a subset of available varieties. Two, import prices vary across exporters within narrow product categories. Three, US growth in both import variety and import price dispersion has occurred at the same time that the US income distribution has significantly widened. The generalized model maps cross-country differences in income distributions to variation in import variety and price variation. The theoretical predictions are examined and confirmed using panel data on import variety and prices, and detailed income distribution data from the Luxemborg Income Survey(LIS). Country pairs whose income distributions are growing more similar over time have growing similarity in the distribution of their import prices, and in the number of common export sources from which they buy. http://www.lisproject.org/publications/liswps/541.pdf LIS GB 5172 Neocleous, Tereza and Portnoy, Stephen 2009 Partially linear censored quantile regression Lifetime Data Analysis 15 3 357–378 "2008: ""A Partially Linear Censored Quantile Regression Model for Unemployment Duration"", IRISS Working Paper Series No. 2008-07.

In many cases however, greater flexibility is desired to go beyond the usual multiple regression paradigm. One area of common interest is that of partially linear models: one (or more) of the explanatory covariates are assumed to act on the response through a non-linear function. Here the CRQ approach of Portnoy (J Am Stat Assoc 98:1001-1012, 2003) is extended to this partially linear setting. Basic consistency results are presented. A simulation experiment and unemployment example justify the value of the partially linear approach over methods based on the Cox proportional hazards model and on methods not permitting nonlinearity. http://iriss.ceps.lu/documents/irisswp91.pdf SOEP GB 5171 Corsini, Lorenzo 2008 Institutions, technological change and the wage differentials between skilled and unskilled workers: theory and evidence from Europe IRISS Working Paper Series No. 2008-02 Differdange CEPS/INSTEAD Report cross-sectional 30 Discussion Paper labour, education, income and poverty, econometrics, international comparison http://iriss.ceps.lu/documents/irisswp86.pdf SOEP GB 5170 Pavlopoulos, Dimitris, Fouarge, Didier, Muffels, Ruud and Vermunt, Jeroen K. 2007 Who benefits from a job change: The dwarfs or the giants?

Unsere ökonometrische Untersuchung auf Basis des Soziooekonomischen Panels liefert einen in dieser Hinsicht negativen Befund : Höhere Riester-Förderquoten bei den Niedrigeinkommensbeziehern erhöhen weder den Anteil der sparenden Haushalte in dieser Gruppe noch ihre Sparquote.

Using data from the 2006 wave of the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP), we show that irrespective of which scenario adequately describes the labor market, a statutory minimum wage reduces employment and raises public expenditures. While aggregate income in the low-wage sector increases, poor households (i.e., those eligible for Unemployment Benefits II), do not benefit from a minimum wage. Wage subsidies at the same fiscal cost ensure more favorable employment effects in both scenarios. However, the workers' income depends on whether we have a competitive or a monopsonistic labor market. A wage subsidy ensures higher household income in a competitive labor market but leads to lower income gains in the monopsonistic scenario. Furthermore, wage subsidies lead to a more equal income distribution than statutory minimum wages, irrespective of their incidence. Combining a minimum wage with a compensating wage subsidy, similar to the French minimum wage system, is extremely costly while still inferior to pure wage subsidies. http://www.cesifo-group.de/~DocCIDL/cesifo1_wp2432.pdf SOEP GB 5161 Lilla, Marco 2008 Income Inequality and Education from ECHP Data Quaderni di ricerca n. 311 Ancona Università Politecnica delle Marche, Dipartimento di Economia "2007: ""Income Inequality and Education Premia"", IRISS Working Paper Series No. 2007-11.

Ihr Anlageverhalten stimmt jedoch nur bedingt mit der von Haushaltsvorständen bekundeten Risikobereitschaft überein. Dies zeigt eine aktuelle empirische Studie auf Basis des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP). So steigt zwar die Wahrscheinlichkeit, seine Anlagen zu streuen tendenziell mit der Risikoaversion an, allerdings nur solange es sich nicht um einen ""vollständig gestreuten Anlagekorb"" handelt. Die Neigung, ein Portfolio mit allen Anlageformen zu halten, nimmt mit wachsender Scheu vor dem Risiko ab.

Using Data from the second and fifth wave of the Luxembourg Income Study (LIS), we measure first how effectively the German, British and Italian welfare state have responded to changes in their country-specific poverty risks profile. Further, we apply a macro-simulation to evaluate the performance of the three welfare states in terms of poverty reduction. We find that the social policy institutions of Germany and Britain are more able to deal successfully with changing age and household structures as the Italian welfare state. http://www.lisproject.org/publications/liswps/501.pdf LIS GB 5147 Magdalou, Brice and Moyes, Patrick 2008 Social Welfare, Inequality and Deprivation Luxembourg Income Study Working Paper No. 502 Luxembourg Luxembourg Income Study (LIS) Report cross-sectional 30 Discussion Paper income and poverty, transfer systems, international comparison http://www.lisproject.org/publications/liswps/502.pdf LIS GB 5146 Budig, Michelle J. and Misra, Joya 2008 How Care Work Employment Shapes Earnings in a Cross-National Perspective Luxembourg Income Study Working Paper No. 499 Luxembourg Luxembourg Income Study (LIS) Report cross-sectional 30 Discussion Paper labour, income and poverty, international comparison http://www.lisproject.org/publications/liswps/499.pdf LIS GB 5145 Constant, Amelie F. and Zimmermann, Klaus F. 2008 Integration von Migranten: Ethnische Identität bestimmt ökonomischen Erfolg Wochenbericht des DIW Berlin 75 1 644-650 Journal Article longitudinal 05 DIW Weekly Report http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/89605/08-42-1.pdf SOEP D 5144 Kroh, Martin and Siedler, Thomas 2008 "Die Anhänger der ""Linken"": Rückhalt quer durch alle Einkommensschichten" Wochenbericht des DIW Berlin 75 41 628-634 Journal Article cross-sectional 05 DIW Weekly Report http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/89386/08-41-3.pdf SOEP D 5143 Salinari, Giambattista and De Santis, Gustavo 2008 On the Evolution of Household Income Luxembourg Income Study Working Paper No. 488 Luxembourg Luxembourg Income Study (LIS) Report cross-sectional 30 Discussion Paper income and poverty, family and networks, methods, international comparison http://www.lisproject.org/publications/liswps/488.pdf LIS GB 5142 Danzer, Alexander M. and Ulku, Hulya 2008 Determinants of Integration and Its Impact on the Economic Success of Immogrants: A Case Study of the Turkish Community in Berlin IZA DP No. 3762 Bonn Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) 2008: DIW Discussion Paper 833.

Berlin: DIW Berlin" Report longitudinal 30 Discussion Paper labour, econometrics Variance Decomposition, Covariance Structure Models, Earnings Inequality, Wage Dynamics There is by now a vast number of studies which document a sharp increase in crosssectional wage inequality during the 2000s. It is often assumed that this inequality is of a “permanent nature” which in turn is used as an argument calling for government intervention. We examine these claims using a fully balanced panel of full-time employed individuals in Germany from the German Socio-Economic Panel for the years 1994-2006. In line with previous studies, our sample shows sharply rising inequality during the 2000s. Applying covariance structure models, we calculate the fraction of permanent and transitory wage and earnings inequality. From 1994 on, permanent inequality increases continuously, peaks in 2001 and then declines in subsequent years. Interestingly the decline in the permanent fraction of inequality occurs at the time of most rapid increases in cross-sectional inequality. It seems therefore that it is primarily the temporary and not the permanent component which has driven the strong expansion of cross-sectional inequality during the 2000s in Germany. http://ftp.iza.org/dp3751.pdf , http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/90072/diw_sp0139.pdf SOEP GB 5138 Peichl, Andreas 2008 The Benefits of Linking CGE and Microsimulation Models: Evidence from a Flat Tax Analysis IZA DP No. 3715 Bonn Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) Report Simulation 30 Discussion Paper http://ftp.iza.org/dp3715.pdf SOEP GB 5137 Coneus, Katja, Gernandt, Johannes and Saam, Marianne 2008 Nicht-kognitive Fähigkeiten senken das Risiko des Bildungsabbruchs ZEWnews Oktober 2008 1-2 Magazine Article longitudinal 33 Other Grey Literature ftp://ftp.zew.de/pub/zew-docs/zn/zn1008.pdf SOEP D 5136 Stiftung, Forum Demographischer Wandel in Zusammenarbeit mit der Bertelsmann 2008 Vielfalt leben - Gemeinsamkeit gestalten.

While both employed and unemployed men suffer from regional unemployment, unemployed men are significantly less negatively affected. This is consistent with a social norm effect of unemployment in Germany. We find no evidence of such an offsetting effect for women. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/89975/diw_sp0132.pdf , http://www.pse.ens.fr/document/wp200845.pdf SOEP GB 5131 Behrens, Johann and Elkeles, Thomas 2008 Die Renaissance des Berufs als Mobilitätschance: Horizontale und vertikale überbetriebliche Wechsel als (häufig noch misslingende) Bewältigungen gesundheitlich begrenzter Tätigkeitsdauer Wolfgang Hien, Wolfgang Bödeker Frühberentung als Folge gesundheitsgefährdender Arbeitsbedingungen?

Using German SOEP data from 1991 to 2006 for mothers with young children, the change in maternal labor supply when the child is one, two, and three years old is explicitly addressed. According to the tobit regression results for precise working hours, maternal labor supply becomes increasingly responsive to economic incentives - mainly to imputed wages - as the child grows. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/90480/diw_sp0143.pdf SOEP GB 5119 Cornelißen, Thomas, Heywood, John S. and Jirjahn, Uwe 2008 Performance Pay, Risk Attitudes and Job Satisfaction SOEPpapers 136 Berlin DIW Berlin Report cross-sectional 35 Other DIW Publications labour, income and poverty, subjective indicators http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/89879/diw_sp0136.pdf , http://www.eea-esem.com/files/papers/EEA-ESEM/2008/944/Risk_Sorting.pdf SOEP GB 5118 Luechinger, Simon, Stutzer, Alois and Winkelmann, Rainer 2008 Self-selection and subjective-well being: Copula models with an application to public and private sector work SOEPpapers 135 Berlin DIW Berlin Report cross-sectional 35 Other DIW Publications labour, methods, subjective indicators http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/89878/diw_sp0135.pdf , http://www.eea-esem.com/files/papers/EEA-ESEM/2008/531/paper.pdf SOEP GB 5117 Kassenböhmer, Sonja C. and Haisken-DeNew, John P. 2008 Heresy or Enlightenment?

Across the board we find large significant negative effects for unemployment on life satisfaction.This paper expands on previous cornerstone research from Winkelmann and Winkelmann (1998) and explicitly identifies truly exogenous unemployment entries starting from 1991.We find that for women in East andWest Germany, company closures in the year of entry into unemployment produce strongly negative effects on life satisfaction over and above an overall effect of unemployment, providing prima facie evidence of a reduced outside work option, large investments in firm-specific human capital or a family constraint. The compensating variation in terms of income is dramatic, indicating enormous non-pecuniary negative effects of exogenous unemployment due to company closures. http://repec.rwi-essen.de/files/REP_08_063.pdf , http://www.eea-esem.com/files/papers/EEA-ESEM/2008/2025/kassenboehmer.pdf SOEP GB 5115 Dustmann, Christian and Mestres, Josep 2008 Remittances and Temporary Migration Paper presented at the European meeting of the European Economic Association and the Econometric Society (EEA-ESEM), Milan, 27-31 August 2008 Milan Manuscript longitudinal 52 Speech Manuscript http://www.eea-esem.com/files/papers/EEA-ESEM/2008/1392/RemittanceEEASubmission.pdf SOEP GB 5114 Barasinska, Nataliya, Schäfer, Dorothea and Stephan, Andreas 2008 Do Risk Attitude and Diversification Match?

The authors found that health is an extremely important factor in the retirement decision for both men and women in the UK and Germany. The effects of poor health seem to be greater in the UK than Germany. The size of the health effect is larger than that of pension entitlement and income in both countries. The results also suggest that it is health shocks rather than a continual level of poor health that are important in the retirement decision. http://www.shef.ac.uk/content/1/c6/07/08/73/AGF%20retirement%20project%20-%20Final%20Report.pdf SOEP, CNEF, BHPS GB 5108 ANALYSE & KONZEPTE and InWIS 2008 Wohntrends 2020 GdW Branchenbericht 3 Berlin GdW Bundesverband deutscher Wohnungs- und Immobilienunternehmen e.V.

This is a weak point of such measures. The study investigates the change in the satisfaction judgments resulting from adaptation to income over time. Adaptation is defined to be desensitization (sensitization) to the hedonic effect of income resulting from an upward (downward) adjustment of the standards. A framework is introduced that provides empirical estimates for the rate of adaptation using data from the Socio-Economic Panel Study (SOEP). http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/89337/diw_sp0130.pdf SOEP GB 5079 Schreiner, Ottmar 2008 Aufruf zu mehr sozialer Gerechtigkeit.

Weitere hier lebende Personen, die bei Geburt eine andere als die deutsche Staatsangehörigkeit besessen haben, sind Eingebürgerte und (Spät-)Aussiedler. Auf der Basis der Daten des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP) untersucht die vorliegende Studie die Beweggründe dieser Personengruppen, Überweisungen ins Heimatland zu tätigen. Es zeigt sich: Die in Deutschland lebenden Ausländer sowie die Gruppe der Eingebürgerten und (Spät-) Aussiedler sind in Bezug auf ihr Transferverhalten keine homogene Einheit. Während beispielsweise bei Ausländern die Sorge über Ausländerfeindlichkeit und Fremdenhass die Wahrscheinlichkeit Überweisungen in Heimatland zu tätigen und auch die Höhe dieser Zahlungen steigen lässt, ist ein solcher Effekt bei der Gruppe der Eingebürgerten und (Spät-)Aussiedler nicht festzustellen. Auch spielen Erwerbs- und Haushaltseinkommen für die Höhe der Zahlungen nur bei Ausländern eine Rolle. Zudem unterscheidet sich das Überweisungsverhalten dieser Gruppe in Abhängigkeit vom Heimatland. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/88563/08-36-3.pdf SOEP D 5070 Kroh, Martin 2008 Wertewandel: Immer mehr Ost- und Westdeutsche ticken postmaterialistisch Wochenbericht des DIW Berlin 75 34 480-486 Journal Article longitudinal 05 DIW Weekly Report http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/88373/08-34-1.pdf SOEP D 5069 o.V. 2008 Staat schafft weniger Ausgleich Böcklerimpuls 12 3 Magazine Article citation of SOEP results 62 Professional Newsletter http://www.boeckler.de/pdf/impuls_2008_12_3.pdf D 5068 Bell, Mark W., Castronova, Edward and Wagner, Gert G. 2008 Virtual Assisted Self Interviewing (VASI): An Expansion of Survey Data Collection Methods to the Virtual Worlds by Means of VDCI DIW Berlin Data Documentation 37 Berlin German Institute for Economic Research (DIW Berlin) 2008: RatSWD Working Paper No. 42.

I study the determinants of wages and the labor market success of two kinds of entrepreneurial women in Germany - self-employed and salaried businesswomen - and investigate whether ethnicity is important in these challenging jobs. Employing data from the German Socioeconomic Panel I estimate selection adjusted wage regressions for both types of businesswomen by country of origin. I find that self-employment offers businesswomen a lucrative avenue with higher monetary rewards, albeit for a shorter spell. If salaried businesswomen went into self-employment, they would receive considerably higher wages and for at least 30 years. However, if self-employed businesswomen went into salaried jobs, their wages would decline, suggesting that it is the self-employment sector that offers better opportunities and monetary success. Self-employed women in Germany fare well and most importantly, success does not depend on their ethnicity. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/88587/dp815.pdf, http://ftp.iza.org/dp3644.pdf SOEP GB 5065 Santos Silva, J.

Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel Study, we employ scores from an ultra-short IQ-test and a set of measures of personality traits, namely locus of control, reciprocity and all basic items from the Five Factor Personality Inventory. Our estimates suggest a positive effect of so-called fluid intelligence or speed of cognition on males' wages only. Findings for personality traits are more heterogeneous. However, there is a robust wage penalty for an external locus of control for both men and women. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/88528/diw_sp0124.pdf , http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/90384/dp836.pdf SOEP GB 5059 Tucci, Ingrid and Groh-Samberg, Olaf 2008 Das enttäuschte Versprechen der Integration: Migrantennachkommen in Frankreich und Deutschland Schweizerische Zeitschrift für Soziologie 34 2 307-333 "2008: DIW Discussion Papers No. 835.

Ausgehend von drei theoretischen Erklärungsansätzen wird empirisch anhand von repräsentativen Mikrodaten gezeigt, dass die Konzeption der Integration der Migrantennachkommen durch die Staatsbürgerschaft und die Schule in Frankreich als ein Versprechen der Integration verstanden werden kann, das im Übergang auf den Arbeitsmarkt strukturell enttäuscht wird. Demgegenüber setzt die Ausgrenzung von Migrantennachkommen in Deutschland schon im Bildungssystem ein, so dass größere Erwartungshaltungen gar nicht erst entstehen. Die Revolten der jungen MigrantInnen in Frankreich können damit u.a. als Ergebnis von strukturell enttäuschten Erwartungen interpretiert werden. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/88527/diw_sp0123.pdf , http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/90457/dp835.pdf SOEP D 5058 Sander, Monika 2008 Changes in immigrants’ Body Mass Index with their duration of residence in Germany SOEPpapers 122 Berlin DIW Berlin Report longitudinal 35 Other DIW Publications migration, health http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/88445/diw_sp0122.pdf SOEP GB 5057 Steiber, Nadine 2008 'How many hours would you want to work a week?’ Job quality and the omitted variables bias in labour supply models.

This paper provides a detailed review of this literature. It focuses on papers that have been published in economics journals since 1990, as well as some key reviews in psychology and important unpublished working papers. The evidence suggests that poor health, separation, unemployment and lack of social contact are all strongly negatively associated with SWB. However, the review highlights a range of problems in drawing firm conclusions about the causes of SWB; these include some contradictory evidence, concerns over the impact on the findings of potentially unobserved variables and the lack of certainty on the direction of causality. We should be able to address some of these problems as more panel data become available."

Even though this effect was also found for personality, results are inconsistent and reveal convergence coefficients ranging from negative over zero- to positive correlations. The present study thus aims to investigate personality congruence between spouses and to examine (a) which dimensions show a high degree of congruence and which do not and (b) in how far this congruence is moderated by the marriage duration. Analyses were based on 6,909 couples who are representative for the German adult population. Results reveal that among the Big Five dimensions, there are strong differences in spouses’ congruences. While for Extraversion and Emotional Stability, congruence is close to zero, correlations averaging at .30 are found for Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, and Openness. The spouses’ congruences in these three dimensions also increase over marriage duration from a mean of r = .22 to r = .40.

Methodik: Die Datenbasis für die Untersuchung bildeten Erhebungsdaten des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP). Die Analysen berücksichtigten Daten aus den Befragungen 2003, 2004 und 2006. Eingeschlossen wurden alle zum Befragungszeitpunkt 2003 erwerbstätigen Personen im Alter zwischen 30 und 60 Jahren (n=9 272). Um den Einfluss von wahrgenommener Arbeitsplatzunsicherheit zum Erhebungszeitpunkt 2003 auf die selbst eingeschätzte Gesundheit in 2004 (n=8 709) und 2006 (n=7 773) zu analysieren, wurde ein ordinales Logit-Modell gerechnet. Ergebnisse: Personen mit hoher Arbeitsplatzunsicherheit hatten unter Kontrolle von Alter, Geschlecht, Bildung und beruflichem Status ein höheres Risiko ungünstigerer selbst eingeschätzter Gesundheit sowohl nach einem Jahr (OR=1,18; 95% KI: 1,06-1,31) als auch nach drei Jahren (OR=1,18; 95% KI: 1,05-1,32). Die Analysen konnten darüber hinaus eine Wechselwirkung zwischen beruflichem Status und Arbeitsplatzunsicherheit identifizieren. Hohe Arbeitsplatzunsicherheit war insbesondere für Personen mit geringem beruflichem Status ein gesundheitliches Risiko (2004: OR=1,37; 95% KI: 1,15-1,62; 2006: OR=1,31; 95% KI: 1,09-1,57). Schlussfolgerung: Die Studie belegt für eine Kohorte deutscher Erwerbstätiger, dass wahrgenommene Arbeitsplatzunsicherheit bei Personen mit geringem beruflichem Status das Risiko beeinträchtigter Gesundheit erhöht. Abstract Objective: This study investigates the relation of perceived job insecurity and self-rated health amongst German workers. Methodology: The database of the investigation was created from survey data of the Socio-economic Panel (SOEP). The analysis considered data from the surveys in 2003, 2004 and 2006. Included were all employed persons aged 30-60 years in 2003 (n=9 272). In order to analyse the impact of perceived job insecurity measured in 2003 on the self-rated health in 2004 (n=8 709) and 2006 (n=7 773) an ordinal logit-model was used. Results: Persons with high job insecurity had - after adjustment for age, gender, education and occupational status - a higher risk of adverse self-rated health both after one year (OR=1.18; 95% CI: 1.06-1.31) and three years (OR=1.18; 95% CI: 1.05-1.32). The analysis could also identify an interaction between occupational status and job insecurity. High job insecurity proved to be a health risk, particularly for persons with lower occupational status (2004: OR=1.37; 95% CI: 1.15-1.62; 2006: OR=1.31; 95% CI: 1.09-1.57). Conclusion: The study supports the proposal that, for a cohort of German workers, perceived job insecurity increases the risk of adverse health effects amongst workers with lower occupational status."

Individual fixed effects are included into the analysis in order to hold unobserved heterogeneity constant. According to the empirical results, the strongest determinants of job satisfaction are relations with colleagues and supervisors, task diversity and job security. Furthermore, job satisfaction is an important determinant of the self-reported probability of job search, which in turn effectively predicts actual job changes. The effect of job search on the probability of changing jobs varies with job satisfaction and is strongest at low levels of job satisfaction. The effects of job dissatisfaction on job search and of job search on quits are stronger for workers with lower tenure, better educated workers, workers in the private sector and when the economy and labor market are in a good condition.

Distance could matter due to transaction costs or due to neighbourhood effects. We use data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP)next term combined with a database on university postal codes to estimate a discrete choice model of the demand for higher education. We show that – controlling for other socio-economic and regional characteristics – distance to the nearest university at the time of completing secondary school significantly affects the decision to enrol in a university. Our empirical results further suggest that the distance effect is driven mainly by transaction costs rather than by neighbourhood effects. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/87578/diw_sp0118.pdf, http://ftp.iza.org/dp3615.pdf SOEP GB 4968 Barasinska, Nataliya, Schäfer, Dorothea and Stephan, Andreas 2008 Financial Risk Aversion and Household Asset Diversification SOEPpapers 117 Berlin DIW Berlin 2008: DIW Discussion Paper No. 807.

Dazu wird der Framing-Ansatz zur Erklärung pro-sozialen Verhaltens adaptiert, der neben den soziologischen Konzepten Sozialisation und Sozialstruktur auch das psychologische Konzept Persönlichkeit berücksichtigt. Den empirischen Befunden zufolge ist unbedingte normative Solidarität in Form von familialem Kollektivismus in Deutschland weit verbreitet. Allerdings ist ein beträchtlicher Anteil an kollektivistischen Wertorientierungen auf persönlichkeitsbezogene und sozialstrukturelle Merkmale zurückzuführen, die eine weniger stabile Basis als sozialisatorische Faktoren darstellen. Familialer Individualismus wird erwartungsgemäß in erster Linie durch sozialstrukturelle Ursachen determiniert. Die Berücksichtigung von Persönlichkeitsmerkmalen in Form der Big Five bewirkt eine substanzielle Verbesserung der Modelle, was für die Verwendung integrativer Erklärungsansätze in der Einstellungsforschung spricht.

Extending these investigations to other outcomes such as wealth up till now has been limited due to lack of individual-level data. Using the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) we find a significant ‘raw’ gender wealth gap of 50,000€ for married partners. Decomposition analyses reveal that the gap is largely driven by differences in characteristics between men and women (observables), particularly by individual’s own income and labour market experience. This is especially true at the bottom and at the top of the wealth distribution, which we show using semi-parametric decomposition techniques. Differences in the lower half of the distribution are mostly driven by the wealth function, i.e., the way in which women transform their characteristics into wealth. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/86907/diw_sp0115.pdf, http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/87575/dp806.pdf, http://ftp.iza.org/dp3573.pdf SOEP GB 4959 Lechner, Michael 2009 Long-run labour market and health effects of individual sports activities Journal of Health Economics 28 4 839-854 "2008: CEPR Discussion Paper No. 6886.

Econometric problems due to individuals choosing their own level of sports activities are tackled by combining informative data and flexible semiparametric estimation methods with a specific way to use the panel dimension of the data. The paper shows that sports activities have sizeable positive long-term labour market effects in terms of earnings and wages, as well as positive effects on health and subjective well-being. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/86715/diw_sp0114.pdf, http://www.scala.unisg.ch/org/scala/web.nsf/SysWebRessources/DP_Scala_0108_Lechner/$FILE/DP_Scala_0108.pdf SOEP GB 4958 Peters, Heiko 2008 Development of Wage Inequality for Natives and Immigrants in Germany - Evidence from Quantile Regression and Decomposition SOEPpapers 113 Berlin DIW Berlin Report longitudinal 35 Other DIW Publications labour, migration, methods http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/86609/diw_sp0113.pdf SOEP GB 4957 Kroll, Lars Eric and Lampert, Thomas 2009 Soziale Unterschiede in der Lebenserwartung.

It includes a short review on available data sources and recent evidence on inequalities in life expectancy for Germany. Subsequently the characteristics of the SOEP and some issues regarding the analysis of mortality using the data are discussed. The main problem regarding the goal of providing undistorted estimates for the life expectancy of social strata using the SOEP is the overesti-mation of life expectancy in the study population. We will present a method that allows to overcome this problem by using data of the official life tables for Germany.

The database used throughout is the User Data Base of the European Community Household Panel (ECHP). The proposed approach is based on the generalized hyperbolic distribution, which allows to model wage change distributions characterized by thick tales, skewness and leptokurtosis. Significant downward nominal wage rigidity is found in all countries under analysis, but the extent varies considerably across countries. Yearly estimates reveal increasing rigidity in Italy, Greece and Portugal, while rigidity is declining in Denmark and Belgium. The results imply that the costs of price stability differ substantially across Europe. http://www.wiwi.uni-muenster.de/cawm/forschen/Download/CAWM-Beitrag_Nr._14.pdf ECHP GB 4925 Gundel, Sebastian and Peters, Heiko 2008 Wie gut sind Immigranten in den deutschen Arbeitsmarkt integriert?

The study also asks the typical survey question that aims to measure trust, showing that it does not predict 'trust' as measured in the experiment. Overall, about 40% of people were willing to trust a stranger in our experiment, and their trust was rewarded half of the time. Analysis of variation in the trust behaviour in our survey suggests that trusting is more likely if people are older, their financial situation is either 'comfortable' or 'difficult' compared with 'doing alright' or 'just getting by', they are a homeowner or they are divorced, separated or never married compared with those who are married or cohabiting. Trustworthiness also is more likely among subjects who are divorced or separated relative to those who are married or cohabiting, and less likely among subjects who perceive their financial situation as 'just getting by' or 'difficult'. We also analyse the effect of attitudes towards risks on trust. http://www.iser.essex.ac.uk/pubs/workpaps/pdf/2007-32.pdf GB 4922 Blom, Annelies G., Lynn, Peter and Jäckle, Annette 2008 Understanding Cross-National Differences in Unit Non-Response: The Role of Contact Data ISER Working Paper No. 2008-01 Colchester University of Essex, Institute for Social and Economic Research Report citation of SOEP results 30 Discussion Paper http://www.iser.essex.ac.uk/pubs/workpaps/pdf/2008-01.pdf GB 4921 Misra, Joya, Moller, Stephanie and Budig, Michelle J. 2007 Work Family Policies and Poverty for Partnered and Single Women in Europe and North America Gender & Society 21 6 804-827 Journal Article cross-sectional 02 SSCI Journal LIS GB 4920 Pfeifer, Christian 2008 Risk Aversion and Sorting into Public Sector Employment IZA DP No. 3503 Bonn Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) Report cross-sectional 30 Discussion Paper labour, income and poverty, subjective indicators, econometrics http://ftp.iza.org/dp3503.pdf SOEP GB 4919 Nauck, Bernhard, Clauß, Susanne and Richter, Elisabeth 2008 Zur Lebenssituation von Kindern mit Migrationshintergrund in Deutschland Hans Bertram Der UNICEF-Bericht zur Lage der Kinder in Deutschland München C.

The latter are usually focused on specifi c transitions in the educational system. The challenge of an approach to educational research that takes the perspective of life-course theory, however, lies in analyzing educational and competency development across the entire life span and the dependence of these processes on institutional and individual environment contexts. The present paper shows the opportunities that the Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP), a household and individual survey now running for over 25 years, offers for empirical educational research aimed at confronting such research challenges. In addition to outlining the available educational information and methodological innovations in the SOEP’s education-related survey program, we also describe the survey’s comparative strengths, particularly for educational analyses stretching ‘from the cradle to the grave’ and dealing with intergenerational and familial contexts. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/85817/diw_sp0110.pdf, http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/85966/rn28.pdf SOEP D 4915 Berger, Eva M. 2008 A Note on the High Stability of Happiness: The Minimal Effects of a Nuclear Catastrophe on Life Satisfaction SOEPpapers 109 Berlin DIW Berlin 2008: DIW Discussion Paper No. 803.

Grundlage dieser Behauptung ist die Tatsache, dass alle Messungen an Menschen genetische und soziale Einflüsse konfundieren. Erst über molekulargenetische Messungen oder genetisch sensitive Erhebungs- bzw. Untersuchungsdesigns kann es gelingen, soziale Einflüsse als solche zu isolieren. Paradoxer Weise sind also genetisch sensitive Untersuchungen eine methodische Voraussetzung dafür, dass das Durkheimianische Erklärungsprogramm, Soziales mit Sozialem erklären zu wollen, realisiert werden kann. Diese Einsicht wird beispielhaft an den Feldern der Lebenslaufforschung, der Familiensoziologie und der Soziologie sozialer Ungleichheiten erläutert. Es geht dabei nicht um ein Entweder-oder genetischer versus sozialer Einflüsse, und auch nicht um ein Rennen um den höchsten Anteil erklärter Varianz, sondern um die komplexen und vielfältigen Wechselwirkungen genetischer mit sozialen Einflüssen, die individuelle Merkmale und Verhaltensweisen bedingen und darüber auch zur Grundlage von Gesellschaftsordnungen werden. Vor allem in Kombination mit großen Längsschnitterhebungen können Gen-Umwelt-Interaktionen und -Kovarianzen adäquat untersucht werden - dies umso mehr, wenn darüber internationale und historische Vergleiche möglich werden. Trotz aller Fortschritte der Molekulargenetik sind heute und für die nächsten Jahre genetisch sensitive Designs die einzige Möglichkeit, für eine breite Palette interessierender Merkmale Genom-Umwelt-Einflüsse zu identifizieren. Zwillingssdesigns kommt dabei trotz der bekannten Schwächen insgesamt die größte Bedeutung zu. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.83471.de/rn27.pdf D 4900 Schupp, Jürgen, Herrmann, Sabrina, Jaensch, Peter and Lang, Frieder R. 2008 Erfassung kognitiver Leistungspotenziale Erwachsener im Sozio-oekonomischen Panel (SOEP) DIW Berlin Data Documentation 32 Berlin German Institute for Economic Research (DIW Berlin) Report technical documentation 35 Other DIW Publications methods, education http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/85173/diw_datadoc_2008-032.pdf SOEP D 4899 o.V. 2008 Mehr Reiche und mehr Arme Böcklerimpuls 10 4-5 Magazine Article cross-sectional 62 Professional Newsletter http://www.boeckler.de/pdf/impuls_2008_10_4-5.pdf SOEP D 4898 Spieß, Martin and Kroh, Martin 2008 Documentation of Sample Sizes and Panel Attrition in the German Socio Economic Panel (SOEP) (1984 until 2006) DIW Berlin Data Documentation 27 Berlin German Institute for Economic Research (DIW Berlin) Report Technical documentation 35 Other DIW Publications methods http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/79212/diw_datadoc_2008-027.pdf SOEP GB 4897 McCabe, Lisa A. and Ackerman, Debra J. 2007 Child Care Center Quality: Measurement Issues and Links to Child Developmental Outcomes DIW Berlin Data Documentation 25 Berlin German Institute for Economic Research (DIW Berlin) Report other 35 Other DIW Publications methods, family and networks http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/78078/diw_datadoc_2007-025.pdf SOEP GB 4896 Rasner, Anika, Himmelreicher, Ralf K., Grabka, Markus M. and Frick, Joachim R. 2007 Best of Both Worlds - Preparatory Steps in Matching Survey Data with Administrative Pension Records.

We provide first evidence on the determinants of institutional child care use addressing the endogeneity of mothers' labor supply by applying an instrumental variables approach. This endogeneity has often been neglected in studies on child care choice, even though the decision to use child care outside the home is strongly connected to mothers' decision to work after childbirth and vice versa. Based on the German Socio-economic Panel (SOEP) from 1989 to 2006 we show that children living in West Germany have a higher probability to attend institutional care if their mothers increase their actual weekly working time. Estimating the determining factors of child care participation without addressing the simultaneity issue substantially underestimates the influence of maternal working time. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/77254/diw_sp0072.pdf, ftp://ftp.zew.de/pub/zew-docs/dp/dp07074.pdf SOEP GB 4889 Hauser, Richard 2007 Probleme des deutschen Beitrags zu EU-SILC aus der Sicht der Wissenschaft - Ein Vergleich von EU-SILC, Mikrozensus und SOEP SOEPpapers 69 Berlin DIW Berlin 2007: RatSWD Working Paper No. 3.

It was examined whether women and men (17–45 years) with operated congenital heart disease differ with respect to chances of employment. Patients were compared with the general population. Design. Patients (n = 314) were classified by type of surgery (curative, reparative, palliative) as indicator of initial severity of disease. The second classification was performed according to a system proposed by the New York Heart Association in order to take reported impairments into account. Controls (n = 1165) consisted of a 10% random sample drawn from the German Socio-Economic Panel. Results. Chances of full-time employment decreased as disease severity increased. Chances of part-time and minor employment were higher in patients than among controls. These general effects were because of male patients, while the employment patterns of women did not differ from the control group. Independent of patient status, women were more likely to have lower rates of full-time employment, and the rates of part-time and minor employment were higher. Conclusion. Long-term adaptation to impairments as a result of congenital heart disease differs between women and men with respect to employment status. While female patients do not differ from the general population, males may lower their engagement in paid work. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/79540/diw_sp0091.pdf SOEP GB 4887 Felbermayr, Gabriel, Geis, Wido and Kohler, Wilhelm 2008 Restrictive Immigration Policy in Germany: Pains and Gains Foregone?

Using micro-data from the Cross-National Equivalent File (CNEF) for three prominent panel studies, namely the BHPS for the UK, the SOEP for West Germany, and the PSID for the USA, we use the factor decomposition method described by Shorrocks (Econometrica 50:193–211, 1982). The factor decomposition of disposable income into single income components shows that capital income is exceedingly volatile and that its share in disposable income has risen recent years. Moreover, capital income makes a disproportionately high contribution to overall inequality in relation to its share in disposable income. This applies to Germany and the USA in particular. Thus capital income accounts for a large part of disparity in all three countries. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/84774/diw_sp0104.pdf, http://www.ecineq.org/milano/WP/ECINEQ2008-89.pdf CNEF GB 4881 Sauer, Lenore and Ette, Andreas 2007 Auswanderung aus Deutschland.

Using the German Socioeconomic Panel (GSOEP), I find intergenerational elasticities that range from 0.19 to 0.26 for natives and from 0.37 to 0.40 for immigrants. These elasticity estimates are lower than typically found for the U.S. and imply higher mobility in Germany than in the U.S. However, as in the U.S., I find greater mobility among German natives than among immigrants. Moreover, I investigate to what extent the lower mobility among immigrants in Germany is due to “ethnic capital” as suggested by Borjas (1992). I find that the impact of father’s earnings on son’s earnings remains virtually unchanged when including a measure of ethnic capital, suggesting that the higher father-son correlation found among immigrants is not due to omitting ethnic capital. However, I do find a large independent effect of ethnic capital on sons’ earnings (the coefficient is 0.81 as opposed to 0.25 found by Borjas (1992)). These results are consistent with estimates from Microcensus data, where the combined effect of parents’ and ethnic capital is close to unity. Thus, contrary to the U.S. results which suggest convergence of immigrants’ earnings towards natives’ earnings, the German results suggest divergence of immigrant earnings. http://ftp.iza.org/dp4677.pdf SOEP GB 4877 Berger, Helge and Neugart, Michael 2007 Labor Courts, Nomination Bias, and Unemployment in Germany Paper presented at the Society of Labor Economists 2008 Annual Meetings at Columbia University, New York, May 9-10 2008 New York, NY Manuscript citation of SOEP results 52 Speech Manuscript http://client.norc.org/jole/SOLEweb/8119.pdf GB 4876 Pohl, Carsten 2007 On the Location Choice of Newly Arrived Immigrants in Germany Paper presented at the Society of Labor Economists 2008 Annual Meetings at Columbia University, New York, May 9-10 2008 New York, NY Manuscript cross-sectional 52 Speech Manuscript http://client.norc.org/jole/SOLEweb/8258.pdf SOEP GB 4875 Stichnoth, Holger 2008 Do Better Educated Immigrants Choose a Higher Reference Income?

To segregate the share of parents with altruistic preferences from those who are selfish, we estimate a finite mixture regression model. We control for various sources of potential bias by taking advantage of the data’s panel structure. To validate our modeling approach, we show that predicted altruists indeed make higher average transfer payments. http://www.soi.uzh.ch/research/wp/2007/wp0702.pdf SOEP GB 4844 Khorolski, Anna 2008 Vornamen der Vorstandsvorsitzenden deutscher Großkonzerne (Bachelorarbeit) Dortmund Technische Universität Dortmund, Fakultät Statistik Thesis Retro-longitudinal 41 B.A./M.A. Thesis SOEP D 4843 Kaube, Jürgen 2008 Glück allein macht nicht vermögend.

Is the increase paralleled by a rising number of frail people, however? In search of an answer, we analyse the development of care need incidence in West Germany between 1986 and 2005 on the basis of longitudinal data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP). The results show a lower transition risk to care need for each successive cohort when all degrees of care need are taken into account. However, no change occurs when only severe care need is measured.

We address this by estimating the potential distributional impact of various flat taxes for selected Western European countries. Our simulations show that in specific circumstances a revenue neutral flat tax reform can increase income equality and improve work incentives; however, in most cases there is an equity-efficiency trade-off.

Because persons with private insurance were exempt from the copayments, this health-care reform can be regarded as a natural experiment. We used a difference-in-difference approach to examine whether the new copayment effectively reduced the overall demand for physician visits and to explore whether it acted as a deterrent to vulnerable groups, such as those with low income or chronic conditions. We found that there was no significant reduction in the number of physician visits among SHI members compared to our control group. At the same time, we did not observe a deterrent effect among vulnerable individuals. Thus, the copayment has failed to reduce the demand for physician visits. It is likely that this result is due to the design of the copayment scheme, as the copayment is low and is paid only for the first physician visit per quarter. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/81746/diw_sp0096.pdf, http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/81490/dp777.pdf SOEP GB 4779 Hamermesh, Daniel S. 1995 Policy Transferability and Hysteresis Friedrich Buttler, Wolfgang Franz, Ronald Schettkat, David Soskice Institutional Frameworks and Labor Market Performance.

Focusing on Inglehart's thesis of value change, the combined socialisation and scarcity hypothesis is tested against the social learning hypothesis – a prominent rival account of preadult value preference formation. Sibling estimates show that the shared preadult environment does indeed exert lasting effects on preferences for postmaterialist policies. In addition to the weak effect of the shared experience of socioeconomic scarcity, it is found that the intergenerational transmission of postmaterialism, disregarded by Inglehart's original thesis, plays a significant role in value preference acquisition. The implications of individual-level findings for forecasts of aggregate-level trends in value change are discussed. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/82530/diw_sp0101.pdf, http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/84740/dp797.pdf SOEP GB 4762 Markmeyer, Bettina 2008 Viele werden ärmer, wenige werden viel reicher epd sozial 17 13 Magazine Article citation of SOEP results 60 Popular Publication D 4761 Gerstorf, Denis, Ram, Nilam, Röcke, Christina, Lindenberger, Ulman and Smith, Jacqui 2007 Decline in Life Satisfaction in Old Age: Longitudinal Evidence for Links to Distance-to-Death Psychology and Aging 23 1 154-168 Journal Article citation of SOEP results 02 SSCI Journal GB 4760 Grabka, Markus M. and Frick, Joachim R. 2008 Schrumpfende Mittelschicht - Anzeichen einer dauerhaften Polarisierung der verfügbaren Einkommen?

Nach der Bargeldeinführung war zunächst eine Euro-Begeisterung zu verzeichnen, die in den folgenden Wochen allerdings wieder etwas abnahm. Dennoch ist die Zustimmung zum Euro inzwischen höher als im vergangenen Jahr: Während damals noch zwei Drittel aller Deutschen Sorgen im Zusammenhang mit der Euro-Einführung äußerten, ist es nun nur noch die Hälfte. Indes liegt Deutschland bei der Akzeptanz des Euro innerhalb der Europäischen Währungsunion (EWU) immer noch auf einem hinteren Platz. Der scheinbare Vorteil der Deutschen eines einfachen Umrechnungskurses zwischen D-Mark und Euro erweist sich bei der Bildung eines neuen Referenzsystems für Preise eher als Nachteil, denn durch das schnelle Umrechnen der Preise bleibt die D-Mark im ständigen Bewusstsein der Konsumenten. Die vom DIW Berlin erhobenen Daten des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP) zeigen, dass die Sorgen bei den höher Gebildeten und bei den EU-Ausländern am seltensten anzutreffen sind. Bei der deutschen Bevölkerung geht die Sorge in starkem Maße mit der Befürchtung einher, die neue Währung bringe wirtschaftliche Nachteile für Deutschland. Generell herrscht hierzulande die Einstellung vor, der Euro fördere mehr die europäische Einheit als die wirtschaftliche Entwicklung. Die subjektive Einstellung der Bevölkerung zur neuen Währung sollte nicht zuletzt aus gesellschaftspolitischen Gründen im Auge behalten werden, da die Gefahr besteht, dass wirtschaftliche Probleme fälschlich dem Euro zugerechnet werden. Sollten diese Probleme ausbleiben, dürfte das neue Zahlungsmittel rasch akzeptiert werden. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.92406.de/02-30.pdf SOEP D 4719 Canegrati, Emanuele 2007 A Contribution to the Positive Theory of Direct Taxation Luxembourg Income Study Working Paper No. 469 Luxembourg Luxembourg Income Study 2007: Munich Personal RePEc Archive (MPRA) Paper No. 6117.

The theoretical framework is based on models of allocation of time and educational productivity. Using the rich information from the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP), we apply generalized ordered probit models to estimate the effect of participation in sport activities on secondary school degrees and professional degrees. Even after controlling for important variables and selection into sport, we find strong evidence that the effect of sport on educational attainment is statistically significant and positive. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/76186/diw_sp0068.pdf, http://ftp.iza.org/dp3160.pdf SOEP GB 4642 Sixt, Michaela 2007 Die strukturelle und individuelle Dimension bei der Erklärung von regionaler Bildungsungleichheit SOEPpapers 66 Berlin DIW Berlin Report cross-sectional 35 Other DIW Publications education http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/74834/diw_sp0066.pdf SOEP D 4641 Körnert, Juliana and Diewald, Martin 2007 Rezension zu Johannes J.

These ""Big Five"" personality traits are broad dimensions of individual differences in experience and behaviour: Neuroticism (N), Extraversion (E), Openness to Experience (O), Agreeableness (A) and Conscientiousness. In the Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP), these dimensions are surveyed using a specially developed short version (BFI-S) of common inventories. The results will provide a unique basis for future panel analyses of relations between psychological, sociological, and economic factors at the individual level. This article's aims are threefold: First, it summarizes the current research on the Big Five and clarifies the relevance of the BFI-S in the SOEP for current issues in this field. Second, it examines the validity and reliability of the BFI-S. The results confirm the suitability of this instrument: it replicates the five-factor structure; the scales show satisfactory internal consistency; and the meanings of the five factors derived from the BFI-S seem equivalent to those of more extensive inventories. Third, it uses the 2005 SOEP data for a norm-based scoring of the Big Five factor scores and conducts method analyses regarding selectivity and response sets. Since no serious evidence against the validity of the resulting scores could be found, these SOEP factor scores can provide solid German reference scores for other studies." http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.76533.de/rn26.pdf SOEP D 4630 Pollmann-Schult, Matthias and Diewald, Martin 2007 Auswirkungen der Familiengründung auf den Berufsverlauf von Männern Kölner Zeitschrift für Soziologie und Sozialpsychologie (KZfSS) 59 3 440-458 Journal Article longitudinal 02 SSCI Journal SOEP D 4629 Gash, Vanessa, Mertens, Antje and Romeu Gordo, Laura 2007 Are fixed-term jobs bad for your health?: A comparison of West-Germany and Spain European Societies 9 3 429-458 2006: IAB Discussionpaper No. 08/2006.

Based on the theory of optimal taxation, combined with microsimulation and microeconometric techniques we derive the welfare function which makes the current German tax and transfer system for single women optimal. Furthermore, we compare the welfare function conditional on the presence and age of children and asses how reforms of in-kind childcare transfers would affect the welfare function. This analysis allows us to derive conclusions about the optimal design of child related transfers and in-kind benefits. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/74833/diw_sp0065.pdf, http://ftp.iza.org/dp3128.pdf SOEP GB 4626 Gundel, Sebastian and Peters, Heiko 2007 Assimilation and Cohort Effects for German Immigrants SOEPpapers 64 Berlin DIW Berlin 2007: CAWM-Discussion Paper No. 6.

Mit den Ergebnissen der Vermögenserhebung im Rahmen des sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP) steht nun erstmals eine Datenbasis zur Verfügung, mit der Höhe und Struktur des Geld- und Realvermögens sowie deren Verteilung auf Individuen in Deutschland im Jahr 2002 analysiert werden können. Die grundsätzliche Struktur dürfte sich seither nicht wesentlich verändert haben. Danach verfügen rund zwei Drittel der Bevölkerung ab 17 Jahren über kein oder nur ein sehr geringes Vermögen. Im Durchschnitt betrug das individuelle Netto- Vermögen im Jahr 2002 rund 81 000 Euro. Aufgrund der sehr ungleichen Verteilung liegt der Median, also der Wert, der die reiche Hälfte der Bevölkerung von der ärmeren trennt, nur bei etwa 15 000 Euro. Weitere Sozialstrukturanalysen zeigen große Unterschiede im individuellen Netto-Vermögen zwischen Männern und Frauen (96 000 Euro bzw. 67 000 Euro) sowie zwischen Personen ohne und mit Migrationshintergrund (87 000 Euro bzw. 47 000 Euro). http://www.diw-berlin.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.74780.de/07-45-1.pdf SOEP D 4623 Ketzler, Rolf and Zimmermann, Klaus F. 2007 Anreize wirken: Deutsche Wirtschaftsforschungsinstitute im Aufwind Wochenbericht des DIW Berlin 74 46 685-704 Journal Article citation of SOEP results 05 DIW Weekly Report X 4622 Dummann, Kathrin 2008 What determines supply and demand for occupational pensions in Germany?

In theoretischer Hinsicht vermuten sie, dass Kinder von Bildungsaufsteigern geringere Bildungschancen haben als Kinder von Eltern, die über Generationen bereits das Bildungsniveau aufweisen, das die Bildungsaufsteiger erreicht haben. Mit Hilfe der Daten des sozioökonomischen Panels (SOEP) für den Zeitraum von 1984 bis 2000 können die Autoren mittels Schätzung binärer logistischer Regressionen ihre These bestätigen und stellen die Nachhaltigkeit der Bildungsexpansion in Frage. Die vorliegende Reanalyse mit Kohortendaten der deutschen Lebensverlaufsstudie kommt unter Verwendung der multinomialen Logit-Regression hingegen zum Ergebnis, dass die Befunde von Fuchs und Sixt ein statistisches Artefakt infolge von Multikollinearität sind. Es konnte zudem gezeigt werden, dass gerade Bildungsaufsteiger in der Elterngeneration dann ihre Bildungserfolge an ihre Kinder weitergeben können, wenn sie ihre Bildungsgewinne in Statusaufstiege umsetzen können. Über diese Mechanismen der sozialen Mobilität ergeben sich Eigendynamik und Nachhaltigkeit der Bildungsexpansion in Westdeutschland.

This paper extends the analysis of immigrant housing tenure choice by explicitly accounting for ethnic identity as a potential infl uence on the homeowner-ship decision, using a two-dimensional composite index of ethnic identity that incorporates attachments to both origin and host cultures. In the case of Germany, the evidence suggests that immigrants with a stronger commitment to the host country are more likely to achieve homeownership for a given set of socioeconomic and demographic characteristics, regardless of their level of attachment to their home country. http://ftp.iza.org/dp3050.pdf, http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/73996/diw_sp0057.pdf SOEP GB 4586 Drever, Anita I. 2008 Germans in Germany's Ethnic Neighborhoods Schmollers Jahrbuch 128 1 175-190 2007: SOEPpapers 48.

Dieser statistische Befund wird vielfach als Beleg für die Existenz und das Wachstum einer ""abgehängten Unterklasse"" gesehen. In anderen Szenarien erscheinen große Teile der Gesellschaft vom Absturz in die Armut bedroht. Bezieht man die Dauer von individuellen Armutsphasen und die unterschiedlichen Lebensbereiche, in denen Notsituationen auftreten, in die Analyse ein, so zeigt sich eine Zunahme verfestigter Armut. Eine Ausbreitung der Prekarität, d. h. des Pendelns zwischen der ""Mitte"" und der ""Armut"", ist nicht zu beobachten. Hauptbetroffene verfestigter Armut sind nach wie vor Arbeiter, vor allem Arbeiterfamilien mit Migrationshintergrund oder mehreren Kindern. Armut entweder als Problem einer kulturell verwahrlosten neuen Unterschicht zu deuten oder als kollektive Abstiegsbedrohung der gesamten Gesellschaft zu dramatisieren, geht an der Realität vorbei." http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/55832/07-12-1.pdf SOEP D 4576 Shajek, Alexandra 2007 Entwicklung zweier Kurzskalen zur Messung von Machiavellismus und Egoismus: Dokumentation eines Instrumententests auf Basis des SOEP-Pretests 2006 DIW Research Notes 22 Berlin German Institute for Economic Research (DIW Berlin) Report Technical documentation 35 Other DIW Publications Sowohl in den Sozial- als auch in den Wirtschaftswissenschaften lässt sich der Trend beobachten, dass individuelle Handlungspräferenzen und persönliche Werthaltungen bei der Fundierung menschlicher Handlungstheorie zunehmend an Bedeutung gewinnen. Diese Entwick-lung spiegelt sich auch im Fragenprogramm des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP) wider, das im Laufe der letzten Erhebungswellen bereits um verschiedene psychologische Konzepte erweitert wurde (Wagner, Frick & Schupp, 2006). Im Rahmen des SOEP-Pretests 2006, der zur Vorbereitung kommender Hauptuntersuchungen durchgeführt wurde, sollen mit der Aufnahme der Skalen zur Erfassung von Machiavellismus und Egoismus zwei weitere handlungsrelevante Werthaltungen auf ihre Eignung für das SOEP-Standardprogramm überprüft werden. Ziel dabei ist es, auf der Grundlage bereits etablierter Erhebungsinventare Kurzskalen für das SOEP zu entwickeln, die den herkömmlichen psychometrischen Anforderungen genügen und darüber hinaus Zusammenhänge mit Indikatoren alltäglichen Handelns aufweisen. Die hier entwickelten 3-Item-Inventare weisen nur mäßige interne Konsistenzen auf, zeigen aber die intendierte Faktorstruktur. Des Weiteren vermögen sie die Ergebnisse der Originalinventare in hohem Maße zu replizieren. Es findet sich hingegen wenig Evidenz dafür, dass die erho-benen Wertpräferenzen mit soziodemographischen Merkmalen einhergehen. Stattdessen las-sen sie sich mit persönlichkeitspsychologischen Faktoren in Verbindung bringen.

At the same time, male workers are overrepresented in the most dangerous occupations like scaffolders or miners, while females typically work in relatively safe occupations with respect to occupational injuries. It is therefore remarkable that almost all studies analyzing the gender wage gap have disregarded different occupational injury risks as a potential explanatory variable for observed gender wage differentials. By merging data on occupational injury risks to German and US panel data on individual workers, this study analyzes gender wage differentials in Germany and the US considering fatal occupational injury risk. The Blinder-Oaxaca method for tobit models is used to decompose the gender wage gap with and without consideration of the fatal injury risk. Our results indicate that the compensating wage differentials for risky jobs are reflected in the resulting gender wage gap, which is caused by the unequal distribution of occupational injury risks among men and women. http://www.rwi-essen.de/media/content/pages/publikationen/ruhr-economic-papers/REP_07_028.pdf SOEP GB 4528 Potrafke, Niklas 2007 The Timing of Employment Breaks: How Does It Affect Pension Benefits? - Empirical Evidence from Germany DIW Discussion Paper No. 710 Berlin German Institute for Economic Research Report longitudinal 31 DIW Discussion Paper labour, income and poverty http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.60178.de/dp710.pdf SOEP GB 4527 Knabe, Andreas and Rätzel, Steffen 2007 Quantifying the psychological costs of unemployment: the role of permanent income FEMM Working Paper No. 12 Magdeburg University Magdeburg, Faculty of Economics and Management Magdeburg 2007: SOEPpapers 32.

Berlin: DIW Berlin Report methodological 30 Discussion Paper income and poverty, international comparison, econometrics "Misclassification error; Survey non-response; Partial identification" Reliable measures of poverty are an essential statistical tool for public policies aimed at reducing poverty. In this paper we consider the reliability of income poverty measures based on survey data which are typically plagued by missing data and measurement error. Neglecting these problems can bias the estimated poverty rates. We show how to derive upper and lower bounds for the population poverty rate using the sample evidence, an upper bound on the probability of misclassifying people into poor and non-poor, and instrumental or monotone instrumental variable assumptions. By using the European Community Household Panel, we compute bounds for the poverty rate in ten European countries and study the sensitivity of poverty comparisons across countries to missing data and measurement error problems.

Using data for West Germany, we do not find evidence for such a specialization strategy. We further examine the labor supply and wage assimilation of families whose members immigrated together relative to families whose members immigrated sequentially. Our estimates indicate that this differentiation is relevant for the analysis of the labor market activities of migrant households http://ftp.iza.org/dp2989.pdf, http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.63384.de/diw_sp0038.pdf, http://www.rwi-essen.de/media/content/pages/publikationen/ruhr-economic-papers/REP_07_024.pdf SOEP GB 4515 Heineck, Guido and Riphahn, Regina T. 2009 Intergenerational transmission of educational attainment in Germany - the last five decades Jahrbücher für Nationalökonomie und Statistik 229 1 36-60 "2007: IZA DP No. 2985.

Berlin: DIW Berlin " Journal Article longitudinal 02 SSCI Journal education, family and networks Education transmission, intergenerational mobility, schooling, human capital transmission Over the last decades the German education system underwent numerous reforms in order to improve “equality of opportunity”, i.e. to guarantee all pupils independent of parental background equal access to higher education. At the same time internationally comparative evidence yields that Germany features particularly low intergenerational mobility with respect to educational attainment. This study investigates the development in intergenerational education mobility in Germany for the birth cohorts 1929 through 1978 with respect to secondary school attainment. We test whether the impact of parental educational background on child educational outcomes changed over time. In spite of massive public policy interventions and education reforms our results yield no significant reduction in the role of parental educational background for child outcomes over the last decades. http://ftp.iza.org/dp2985.pdf, http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.62890.de/diw_sp0037.pdf SOEP GB 4514 Myck, Michal 2010 "Wages and Ageing: Is There Evidence for the ""Inverse-U"" Profile?"

The focus of this paper is the relationship between age and wages with special attention given to individuals nearing retirement. The analysis is presented in a comparative context for Britain and Germany looking at two longitudinal data sets (BHPS and SOEP, respectively) for the years 1995–2004. We show the importance of cohort effects and selection out of employment which determine the downward-sloping part of the ‘inverse-U’ profile observed in cross-sections. There is little evidence that wages fall with age. http://ftp.iza.org/dp2983.pdf SOEP GB 4513 Sinning, Mathias 2010 Determinants of Savings and Remittances: Empirical Evidence from Immigrants to Germany Review of Economics of the Household online first 2007: IZA DP No. 2966.

A double-hurdle model is applied to analyze the determinants of the propensity to send transfers abroad and the amount of transfers. The findings reveal that return intentions positively affect financial transfers of immigrants to their home country. Moreover, while the effect of the household size on migrants’ transfers abroad turns out to be significantly negative, remittances are higher if close relatives live in the sending country. Finally,Vuong-tests indicate that the double-hurdle model is the correct specification for the analysis of migrants’ savings and remittances rather than the conventional Tobit model usually applied in the literature. http://ftp.iza.org/dp2966.pdf, http://www.rwi-essen.de/media/content/pages/publikationen/ruhr-economic-papers/REP_07_023.pdf SOEP GB 4512 Puhani, Patrick A. and Weber, Andrea M. 2007 Persistence of the School Entry Age Effect in a System of Flexible Tracking IZA DP No. 2965 Bonn Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) 2008: Paper presented at Society of Labor Economists 2008 Annual Meetings, Columbia University, New York, May 9-10 2008 Report longitudinal 30 Discussion Paper education, methods http://ftp.iza.org/dp2965.pdf, http://client.norc.org/jole/SOLEweb/860.pdf SOEP GB 4511 Frick, Joachim R., Grabka, Markus M. and Groh-Samberg, Olaf 2007 Economic Gains from Publicly Provided Education in Germany IZA DP No. 2911 Bonn Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) "2007: SOEPpapers 28.

Our duration analysis shows that the decision to out-migrate is mostly a matter of socio-economic variables than of state specific economic conditions. The longer the graduates stay in their state of study, the lower will be the propensity to leave. On the contrary, nonresident students seem to exhibit a significantly higher probability to out-migrate after graduation. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.59964.de/diw_sp0026.pdf SOEP GB 4484 Wagner, Gert G., Frick, Joachim R. and Schupp, Jürgen 2007 The German Socio-Economic Panel Study (SOEP) - Scope, Evolution and Enhancements "Schmollers Jahrbuch (Proceedings of the 7th International Socio-Economic Panel User Conference (SOEP 2006), ed. by Ferrer-i-Carbonell, Ada; Grabka, Markus M. and Kroh, Martin" 127 1 139-169 2007: SOEPpapers 1.

They show that although individual factors like the educational level of one’s parents play a decisive role in determining the human capital accumulation of the children, the cohort size as well as the local labor market seem to have a significant impact, too. This paper analyzes the impact of birth cohort size as well as unemployment on educational attainment in Europe using the European Community Household Panel. Estimation results suggest that neither the size of the birth cohort nor the local unemployment rate induces a change in the individual’s schooling decision. http://www.rwi-essen.de/media/content/pages/publikationen/ruhr-economic-papers/REP_07_010.pdf ECHP GB 4458 Jones, Andrew M and Schurer, Stefanie 2007 How Does Heterogeneity Shape the Socioeconomic Gradient in Health Satisfaction? Ruhr Economic Papers #8 Bochum, Dortmund, Duisburg, Essen Ruhr Graduate School in Economics and RWI Essen Report longitudinal 30 Discussion Paper health, subjective indicators, methods Panel data, generalized conditional fixed effects logit, generalized ordered logit, health, GSOEP Individual heterogeneity plays a key role in explaining variation in self-reported well-being and, in particular, health satisfaction. It is hypothesised that the influence of this heterogeneity varies over levels of health and increases over the life-cycle. These hypotheses are tested with data on health satisfaction from 22 waves of the German Socioeconomic Panel (GSOEP).Nonlinear fixed effects methods that allow for unobserved heterogeneity are not readily available for categorical measures of well-being. One common solution is to revert to conditional fixed effects methods, at the price of a high degree of information loss. Another common solution is to ignore the association between unobserved heterogeneity and socio-economic status by using pooled or random effects models, at the price of potential bias.We use a generalization of the conditional fixed effects logit, that allows for individual-specific reporting bias, heterogeneity in health endowments, and heterogeneity in the impact of income on health satisfaction. Adjusting for unobserved heterogeneity accounts for the relationship between income and very good health, but not between income and poorer health states. The income gradient for older age-groups is more strongly affected by controlling for unobserved heterogeneity: revealing an increasing influence of heterogeneity on health satisfaction over the life-span. http://www.rwi-essen.de/media/content/pages/publikationen/ruhr-economic-papers/REP_07_008.pdf SOEP GB 4457 Zaiceva, Anzelika 2010 East–West migration and gender: Is there a differential effect for migrant women?

Bonn: Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA)" 10.1016/j.labeco.2009.10.005 Journal Article longitudinal 02 SSCI Journal gender, migration, labour "Migration; Gender; Eastern Germany; Panel data" This paper examines whether female East–West migrants in Germany face a differential effect on their labor market outcomes after they move compared to both males and stayers. It builds on a “difference-in-difference-in-difference” approach, employs a matching procedure to define the corresponding before and after periods for movers and stayers and uses panel data techniques to difference away time-invariant unobservable confounders. I find that migrant women after migration do not experience significantly different earnings or employment prospects, compared to migrant males and female stayers. They do, however, face an additional negative effect on hours worked and on annual income. The results also suggest that for them, the income effect seems to dominate the substitution effect and they substitute some market work in the West with home production, in particular, with childcare. http://ftp.iza.org/dp2810.pdf SOEP GB 4456 Pannenberg, Markus 2007 Risk Aversion and Reservation Wages IZA DP No. 2806 Bonn Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) 2007: SOEPpapers 23.

Report cross-sectional 30 Discussion Paper migration, income and poverty, international comparison International migration, wealth accumulation This paper investigates the source of the gap in the relative wealth position of immigrant households residing in Australia, Germany and the United States. Our results indicate that in Germany and the United States wealth differentials are largely the result of disparity in the educational attainment and demographic composition of the native and immigrant populations, while income differentials are relatively unimportant in understanding the nativity wealth gap. In contrast, the relatively small wealth gap between Australian- and foreign- born households exists because immigrants to Australia do not translate their relative educational and demographic advantage into a wealth advantage. On balance, our results point to substantial cross-national disparity in the economic well-being of immigrant and native families, which is largely consistent with domestic labor markets and the selection policies used to shape the nature of the immigration flow. http://ftp.iza.org/dp2772.pdf, http://www.rwi-essen.de/media/content/pages/publikationen/ruhr-economic-papers/REP_07_006.pdf SOEP GB 4453 Hamermesh, Daniel 2008 Viewpoint: Replication in Economics Canadian Journal of Economics 40 3 715-733 "2007: ""Replication in Economics"", NBER Working Paper 13026.

During the 1980s, the increase was concentrated at the top of the distribution; in the 1990s, it occurred at the bottom end as well. Our findings are consistent with the view that both in Germany and in the United States, technological change is responsible for the widening of the wage distribution at the top. At the bottom of the wage distribution, the increase in inequality is better explained by episodic events, such as supply shocks and changes in labor market institutions.

Nach Angaben der Weltbank ist Deutschland mit mehr als 10 Mrd. US-Dollar im Jahr 2004 eines der bedeutendsten Herkunftsländer. Aus der Sicht der Empfängerländer spielen Remittances häufig eine große gesamtwirtschaftliche Rolle. Die Motive von in Deutschland lebenden Migrantinnen und Migranten, Geld in ihr Heimatland zu überweisen, wurden bislang nicht intensiv untersucht. Die vorliegende Studie auf Basis der Daten des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP) zeigt, dass die Höhe der Remittances von persönlichen Merkmalen abhängt - z. B. vom Alter, der Ausbildung, dem Familienstand oder dem Erwerbsstatus. Eine starke eigene Verortung in Deutschland führt zu geringeren Zahlungen ins Heimatland. Das Haushaltseinkommen kann nur bedingt die Höhe der Remittances erklären. Nur Personen aus relativ einkommensstarken Haushalten überweisen statistisch signifikant mehr als die der niedrigsten Haushaltseinkommensgruppe. Unter Berücksichtigung verschiedener persönlicher Merkmale tätigten Migranten aus den Nachfolgestaaten Jugoslawiens besonders hohe Überweisungen ins Heimatland. Zukünftig wird es darum gehen, die Rolle der Remittances zur Sicherung des ökonomischen Aufholprozesses in den Heimatländern der Migranten zu stärken. Damit könnten auch die positiven Aspekte der voranschreitenden Globalisierung für diese Länder an Bedeutung gewinnen. Dazu werden hier drei Ansatzpunkte vorgeschlagen. http://www.diw-berlin.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.57341.de/07-19-1.pdf SOEP D 4431 Holst, Elke 2007 Arbeitszeitwünsche von Frauen und Männern liegen näher beieinander als tatsächliche Arbeitszeit Wochenbericht des DIW Berlin 74 14-15 209-215 Journal Article cross-sectional 05 DIW Weekly Report gender, labour, subjective indicators Working time, Gender, Work-life balance, SOEP "In Deutschland liegen die von abhängig Beschäftigten gewünschten Wochenarbeitszeiten im Durchschnitt zwischen knapp 30 Stunden (Frauen) und 40 Stunden (Männer).

To isolate the role of participation behavior from that of individual characteristics, we develop a panel data model that simultaneously explains participation, employment and wages. The model parameters, estimated for East and West Germany on the basis of the German Socio-Economic Panel, indicate that distinct behavior could explain the regional gap in participation rates at unification. Afterwards East German women became less willing to participate, but the negative labor supply trend was offset on the aggregate level by changes in characteristics and wages promoting participation.

München: Munich Personal RepEc Archive Report cross-sectional 30 Discussion Paper family and networks, subjective indicators, migration Subjective data, siblings data, unobserved effects, minorities The existing literature on attitudes towards immigration has not accounted for the potential effect of unobservable home education on attitude formation. Yet, factors such as parents’ knowledge, their morals, and their weltanschauung are likely to influence the attitudes of the next generation.Their omission from the analysis thus threatens to lead to erroneous conclusions. Utilizing siblings data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP) this paper analyzes the determinants of worries about immigration controlling for unobserved family specific effects.Our results suggest that benchmark models used in the literature yield inconsistent estimates of the main determinants of attitudes towards immigration. http://www.rwi-essen.de/media/content/pages/publikationen/ruhr-economic-papers/REP_07_022.pdf SOEP GB 4402 Anger, Silke and Lupo, Katie 2007 Bildungsrenditen von Vollzeitbeschäftigten in Deutschland: Der Osten hat aufgeholt Wochenbericht des DIW Berlin 74 10 149-157 Journal Article longitudinal 05 DIW Weekly Report labour, education, income and poverty Fast 20 Jahre nach dem Fall der Mauer und dem damit in Ostdeutschland verbundenen Übergang auf eine Marktwirtschaft bestehen zwischen Ost- und Westdeutschland immer noch Unterschiede in der Entlohnung von Humankapital. Auswertungen der Daten des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP) für vollzeitbeschäftigte Arbeitnehmer zeigen, dass die individuellen Erträge von Bildungsinvestitionen in Ostdeutschland zunächst zurückgegangen waren. Inzwischen ist ein zusätzliches Ausbildungsjahr in Ostdeutschland mit einem ebenso hohen Einkommenszuwachs verbunden wie in Westdeutschland. Allerdings liegen auch heute die Renditen für ausgewählte Bildungsabschlüsse in den alten Bundesländern deutlich höher als in den neuen: Im Jahr 2005 verdienten westdeutsche Hochschulabsolventen gut 60 % mehr als Beschäftigte ohne abgeschlossene Berufsausbildung. Der Vergleichswert für Ostdeutschland lag bei weniger als 40 %. Insgesamt sind die Erträge von Humankapitalinvestitionen im Osten unter Berücksichtigung des deutlich höheren Arbeitslosigkeitsrisikos geringer. Besonders gut schneiden Ost-West-Migranten bei den Bildungsrenditen ab. Ein zusätzliches Bildungsjahr war im Jahr 2005 für ostdeutsche Männer in Vollzeitbeschäftigung, die in den Westen abgewandert sind, mit einem Einkommenszuwachs in Höhe von gut 11 % verbunden. Somit übertraf die Rendite der Ost-West-Migranten nicht nur die Bildungsrendite in Ostdeutschland, sondern auch die der westdeutschen Beschäftigten um über 2 Prozentpunkte. Dies deutet darauf hin, dass vorwiegend Arbeitskräfte mit besonderen Qualifikationen und am Arbeitsmarkt gut verwertbaren persönlichen Eigenschaften in den Westen gewandert sind. http://www.diw-berlin.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.55805.de/07-10-1.pdf SOEP D 4401 Brenke, Karl and Eichhorst, Werner 2007 Mindestlohn für Deutschland nicht sinnvoll Wochenbericht des DIW Berlin 74 9 121-131 Journal Article cross-sectional 05 DIW Weekly Report SOEP D 4400 Fricke, Christa, Österreich, Detlev, Schulze, Eva and Wagner, Gert G. 2007 Überschuldung ist ein Problem fehlender Netzwerke Wochenbericht des DIW Berlin 74 7 81-100 Journal Article cross-sectional 05 DIW Weekly Report SOEP D 4399 Holst, Elke and Stahn, Anne-Katrin 2007 Spitzenpositionen in großen Unternehmen fest in der Hand von Männern Wochenbericht des DIW Berlin 74 7 89-93 Journal Article citation of SOEP results 05 DIW Weekly Report D 4398 Brenke, Karl 2007 Zunehmende Lohnspreizung in Deutschland Wochenbericht des DIW Berlin 74 6 73-79 Journal Article cross-sectional 05 DIW Weekly Report SOEP D 4397 Gerhards, Jürgen, Lengfeld, Holger and Schupp, Jürgen 2007 Arbeitsmarkt in Deutschland: Hohe Akzeptanz der Chancengleichheit für europäische Bürger Wochenbericht des DIW Berlin 74 4 37-42 Journal Article cross-sectional 05 DIW Weekly Report subjective indicator, labour "Die Bürgerinnen und Bürger der Europäischen Union (EU) besitzen formal die gleichen Zugangsrechte zu allen nationalen Arbeitsmärkten der EU-Mitgliedstaaten. Eine im Sommer 2006 durchgeführte Sondererhebung des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP) für Deutschland zeigt, dass dieses Gleichheitsrecht von einem Großteil der Bürgerinnen und Bürger anerkannt wird; zwei Drittel der Befragten empfinden die Chancengleichheit für EU-Bürger als gerecht. Das Ausmaß der Akzeptanz nimmt dabei mit dem beruflichen Qualifikationsgrad der Befragten zu. Diese Einstellungen haben allerdings bisher nur wenig Einfluss in konkreten ökonomischen Entscheidungssituationen. Im Rahmen eines Fallbeispiels wird gezeigt, dass bei hoher allgemeiner Zustimmung zur Chancengleichheit vergleichbare Dienstleistungen ausländischer Anbieter vor allem dann in Anspruch genommen werden, wenn diese deutlich preiswerter sind als die der deutschen Konkurrenz.

The one-step approach allows for mixed continuous and discrete dependent variables. A Monte Carlo Study is presented to compare our particular GEE estimator with more standard GEE-estimators. In the empirical illustration, we apply our estimator to the analysis of individual wage dynamics and the incidence of profit-sharing in West Germany. Our findings show that time-invariant unobserved individual ability jointly influences individual wages and participation in profit sharing schemes. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.55728.de/dp663.pdf SOEP GB 4390 Timmermann, Dieter 2006 Demographischer Wandel, Migration und Lebenslanges Lernen Demographischer Wandel - Auswirkungen auf das Bildungssystem: Beiträge zum wissenschaftlichen Kolloquium am 18. und 19.

Bonn: Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) Journal Article cross-sectional 02 SSCI Journal migration, subjective indicators It has long been hypothesized that individuals' migration propensities depend on their risk attitudes, but the empirical evidence has been limited and indirect. We use newly available data from the German Socio-Economic Panel to measure directly the relationship between migration and risk attitudes. We find that individuals who are more willing to take risks are more likely to migrate. Our estimates are substantial compared to unconditional migration probabilities, as well the effects of conventional determinants of migration, and are robust to controlling for a variety of demographic characteristics. We find no evidence that our results are the result of reverse causality. http://ftp.iza.org/dp2655.pdf SOEP GB 4387 Cholezas, Ioannis and Tsakloglou, Panos 2007 Earnings Inequality in Europe: Structure and Patterns of Inter-Temporal Changes IZA DP No. 2636 Bonn Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) Report longitudinal 30 Discussion Paper income and poverty, international comparison http://ftp.iza.org/dp2636.pdf ECHP GB 4386 Goerke, Laszlo and Pannenberg, Markus 2007 Trade Union Membership and Works Councils in West Germany Industrielle Beziehungen 14 2 154-175 2007: IZA DP No. 2635.

Based on micro data for Germany Socio-Economic-Panel (SOEP) we show that joint income taxation in Germany which discriminates by marital status, has a strong and highly significant impact on the reservation/market wage ratio. Relative to single filers, this leads to strong negative labour supply incentives for secondary earners and to positive incentives for first earners in married couples. http://ftp.iza.org/dp2599.pdf, http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.55799.de/dp670.pdf SOEP GB 4381 Jasso, Guillermina 2007 Studying Justice: Measurement, Estimation, and Analysis of the Actual Reward and the Just Reward IZA DP No. 2592 Bonn Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) Report citation of SOEP results 30 Discussion Paper http://ftp.iza.org/dp2592.pdf GB 4380 Hamermesh, Daniel S. 2007 Fun with Matched Firm-Employee Data: Progress and Road Maps IZA DP No. 2580 Bonn Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) Report citation of SOEP results 30 Discussion Paper http://ftp.iza.org/dp2580.pdf GB 4379 van Praag, Bernard M.S. 2007 Perspectives from the Happiness Literature and the Role of New Instruments for Policy Analysis CESifo Economic Studies 53 1 42-68 2007: IZA DP No. 2568.

It studies the determinants of home Internet use in Germany on the level of counties as well as on the level of individuals. Based on two large data sets, the analyses show that population density itself cannot explain regional differences in Internet use rates. The results rather indicate that it is the different composition of individual characteristics between rural and urban populations that accounts for the regional digital divide. At individual level, the findings underline the importance of network effects. ftp://ftp.zew.de/pub/zew-docs/dp/dp06085.pdf SOEP, INKAR GB 4336 Arntz, Melanie, Boeters, Stefan, Gürtzgen, Nicole and Schubert, Stefanie 2008 Analysing Welfare Reform in a Microsimulation-AGE Model: The Value of Disaggregation Economic Modelling 25 3 422-439 2006: ZEW Discussion Paper No. 06-076.

The model is used to analyse a reform that cuts the social assistance minimum income and lowers the transfer withdrawal rate in order to encourage labour force participation at the lower end of the wage distribution. We compare a disaggregated and an aggregated version of the model as well as a partial and a general equilibrium variant. It turns out that both disaggregation and general equilibrium feedback tend to mitigate the labour supply response to the reform proposal. While some labour supply indicators react quite sensitively to the level of aggregation, most macroeconomic variables are considerably more robust. ftp://ftp.zew.de/pub/zew-docs/dp/dp06076.pdf SOEP GB 4335 Fitzenberger, Bernd, Kohn, Karsten and Wang, Qingwei 2006 The Erosion of Union Membership in Germany: Determinants, Densities, Decompositions IZA DP No. 2193 Bonn Institute for the Study of Labor 2006: ZEW Discussion Paper No. 06-066.

Observing the entire income history from the individuals' birth to their coming of age at age 18, we are able to analyse dynamics in and out of poverty for the entire population of children, whether they become poor at least once or not. Using duration models, we find that household composition, most importantly single parenthood, and the labour market status as well as level of education of the household head are the main driving forces behind exit from and re-entry into poverty and thus determine the (long-term) experience of poverty. http://ftp.iza.org/dp2645.pdf, http://www.rwi-essen.de/media/content/pages/publikationen/ruhr-economic-papers/REP_07_056.pdf http://www.ecineq.org/milano/WP/ECINEQ2007-65.pdf SOEP GB 4331 Tamm, Marcus 2008 Does Money Buy Higher Schooling?

Ausschüttungen an die Versicherten ab 2009 vor. Durch diese Umstellung der Finanzierung der Gesetzlichen Krankenversicherung ist auch mit Verteilungswirkungen zwischen den Bundesländern aus zwei Gründen zu rechnen. Erstens wird durch den Fond im Gegensatz zum heutigen Risikostrukturausgleich (RSA) das gesamte Beitragsaufkommen (100%) der gesetzlichen Krankenversicherung, d.h. inklusive der Verwaltungsausgaben und der Kosten für Satzungsleistungen (etwa 8% der Gesamtausgaben) zwischen den Kassen neu verteilt. Einkommensstarke Länder mit günstiger Risikostruktur werden dadurch stärker belastet. Zweitens wird der länderübergreifende Budgetausgleich verändert, den überregional operierende Kassen intern durchführen. Wird das heute nicht über den RSA verteilte Beitragsaufkommen den Kassen nach der Kopfzahl zugeteilt, so erhöhen sich zusammen mit der kasseninternen Umverteilung die Belastungen der Bürger in NRW, Baden-Württemberg und Bayern jeweils um zweistellige Millionenbeträge. Erfolgt die Zuteilung nach dem Krankheitsrisiko (im Sinne des heutigen RSA), erhöht sich die Belastung in NRW und Baden-Württemberg dagegen um über 100 Mill. Euro, jene in Bayern dagegen nur um etwa 20 Mill. Euro. Die geplante zeitgleiche Einführung eines morbiditätsorientierten RSA 2009 findet bei diesen Berechnungen keine Berücksichtigung. Einige Bundesländer könnten somit die im Gesetzesentwurf genannte Belastungsgrenze von 100 Mill. Euro geringfügig überschreiten, sodass die Einführung einer Konvergenzphase erforderlich würde. Ob diese Belastungsgrenze tatsächlich erreicht wird, hängt jedoch wesentlich davon ab, wie der Gesundheitsfonds den Krankenkassen die Kosten für Verwaltung und Satzungsleistungen erstattet. Eine Erstattung nach der Kopfzahl kann nach den hier vorgestellten Berechnungen eine Überlastung vermeiden, weshalb diese Verrechnung im ersten Schritt empfohlen wird. In einem zweiten Schritt sollte dann das Krankheitsrisiko als weiterer Verrechnungsparameter Berücksichtigung finden. Ob die regionale Betrachtung der Verteilungswirkungen der gesetzlichen Krankenversicherung eine dem Wesen der Sozialversicherung angemessene Perspektive darstellt, ist umstritten (Rürup, Wille 2007). Nichtsdestotrotz sind regionale Verteilungseffekte des geplanten Gesundheitsfonds von großer politischer Relevanz. So betrachten es viele Landesregierungen als legitime Aufgabe, mögliche Belastungen für die Versicherten in ihrem jeweiligen Bundesland gering zu halten. Vor diesem Hintergrund erscheint die Quantifizierung der regionalen Verteilungswirkungen der Einführung des Gesundheitsfonds als relevante wissenschaftliche Fragestellung. Als Be- bzw. Entlastung eines Bundeslandes ist dabei immer die Summe der Be- bzw. Entlastungen der im jeweiligen Bundesland lebenden Versicherten zu verstehen. http://www.rwi-essen.de/media/content/pages/publikationen/rwi-materialien/M_35_Gesundheitsfond.pdf SOEP D 4328 Kuhnke, Ralf 2006 "Indikatoren zur Erfassung des Migrationshintergrundes - Arbeitsbericht im Rahmen der Dokumentationsreihe: Methodische Erträge aus dem ""DJI-Übergangspanel""" Forschungsschwerpunkt Übergänge in Arbeit Arbeitspapier 2/2006 Halle Deutsches Jugendinstitut Report mentions of the SOEP study 31 DIW Discussion Paper http://www.dji.de/bibs/276_5969_WT_2_2006_kuhnke.pdf SOEP D 4327 Diehl, Claudia and Schnell, Rainer 2006 "Reactive Ethnicity or ""Assimilation""?

Eine mögliche Erklärung ist das Vorsichtssparen, das in diesem Aufsatz im Hinblick auf die Einkommensunsicherheit untersucht wird. Dazu wird in einer Querschnittsanalyse mit Einzeldaten aus dem SOEP das Vermögen der privaten Haushalte aus dem Jahr 2002 auf alternative Maße der Einkommensunsicherheit regressiert. Neben den üblichen Kontrollvariablen wird hierbei auch die Risikoaversion berücksichtigt. Bei der Verwendung des Nettogeldvermögens ist das Vorsichtssparen statistisch signifikant und ökonomisch durchaus von Bedeutung. Der Anteil des Vorsichtsvermögens am gesamten (über die Haushalte aggregierten) Nettogeldvermögen beträgt im Durchschnitt gut 20%. Das Immobilienvermögen dient wegen seiner Illiquidität dagegen nicht als Puffer gegen negative Einkommensschocks. http://www.atypon-link.com/DH/doi/pdfplus/10.3790/vjh.75.4.109 SOEP D 4322 Alt, Christian and Bien, Walter 2006 Dem Volk aufs Maul schauen - Verfahren der quantitativen Sozialforschung DJI Bulletin 77 PLUS 4 1-4 Magazine Article citation of SOEP results 62 Professional Newsletter D 4321 Lévy-Garboua, Louis, Montmarquette, Claude and Simonnet, Véronique 2007 Job satisfaction and quits Labour Economics 14 2 251-268 Journal Article longitudinal 02 SSCI Journal CNEF GB 4320 Eriksson, Lina, Rice, James Mahmud and Goodin, Robert E. 2007 Temporal Aspects of Life Satisfaction Social Indicators Research 80 3 511-533 Journal Article cross-sectional 02 SSCI Journal CNEF GB 4319 Rice, Mahmud James, Goodin, Robert E. and Parpo, Antti 2006 The Temporal Welfare State: A Crossnational Comparison Journal of Public Policy 23 3 195-228 "2006: Luxembourg Income Study Working Paper No. 431.

Recent work on multiple imputation techniques has increased analysts' awareness of the biasing effects of missing data and has also provided a convenient solution. Imputation methods replace non-response with estimates of the unobserved scores. In many instances, however, non-response to a stimulus does not result from measurement problems that inhibit accurate surveying of empirical reality, but from the inapplicability of the survey question. In such cases, existing imputation techniques replace valid non-response with counterfactual estimates of a situation in which the stimulus is applicable to all respondents. This paper suggests an alternative imputation procedure for incomplete data for which no true score exists: multiple complete random imputation, which overcomes the biasing effects of missing data and allows analysts to model respondents' valid 'I don't know' answers. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.42513.de/dp442.pdf SOEP GB 4228 Grabka, Markus M. and Wagner, Gert G. 2006 Fast das ewige Leben: Eine zunehmend alternde Bevölkerung stellt das Gesundheitssystem vor grundlegende Probleme - ein Zukunftsszenario für Deutschland Forschung aktuell (TU Berlin) - Themenmagazin Gesundheitstechnologien 22 51 67-69 Magazine Article citation of SOEP results 61 Popular Science Publication http://www.pressestelle.tu-berlin.de/fileadmin/a70100710/Publikationen/Forschung_aktuell/FoAk_Gesundheitstechnologien.pdf D 4227 Kumari, Meena, Wadsworth, Mike, Blake, Margaret, Bynner, John and Wagner, Gert G. 2006 Biomarkers in the proposed UK Longitudinal Household Study London Longview Report mentions of the SOEP study 33 Other Grey Literature GB 4226 Mika, Tatjana and Tucci, Ingrid 2006 Alterseinkommen bei Zuwanderern - Gesetzliche Rente und Haushaltseinkommen bei Aussiedlern und Zuwanderern aus der Türkei und dem ehemaligen Jugoslawien im Vergleich zur deutschen Bevölkerung Deutsche Rentenversicherung 7-8 456-483 2006:  DIW Research Notes 18.

Januar 2007 wird das bisherige Erziehungsgeld durch das Elterngeld ersetzt. Danach erhalten Eltern, die zum Zwecke der Kinderbetreuung ihre Erwerbstätigkeit unterbrechen, im ersten Lebensjahr ihres Kindes Elterngeld in Höhe von 67 % des entfallenen Nettoerwerbseinkommens. Von dieser Reform wird unter anderem erwartet, dass Mütter zu einem früheren Wiedereinstieg in den Beruf ermutigt werden. Bisherige Reformen, die primär darin bestanden, die Elternzeit auszudehnen, haben dagegen eher dazu geführt, dass die Berufsrückkehr von Müttern abgenommen hat. Aktuelle Schätzungen des DIW Berlin lassen erwarten, dass das Elterngeld zu kürzeren Erwerbsunterbrechungen von Müttern mit kleinen Kindern führen wird. Die Erwerbsbeteiligung von Müttern mit Kindern im zweiten Lebensjahr wird nach diesen Schätzungen auf knapp 40 % ansteigen. Der Erfolg des Elterngeldes wird unter anderem davon abhängen, inwiefern es durch andere familienpolitische Maßnahmen, insbesondere im Bereich der außerhäusigen Kinderbetreuung, begleitet wird. http://www.diw-berlin.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.44953.de/06-48-1.pdf SOEP D 4199 Grabka, Markus M. 2006 Prämien in der PKV: Deutlich stärkerer Anstieg als in der gesetzlichen Krankenversicherung Wochenbericht des DIW Berlin 73 46 653-659 Journal Article longitudinal 05 DIW Weekly Report SOEP D 4198 Headey, Bruce 2006 Subjective Well-Being: Revisions to Dynamic Equilibrium Theory Using National Panel Data and Panel Regression Methods Social Indicators Research 79 3 369-403 Journal Article longitudinal 02 SSCI Journal CNEF GB 4197 Anger, Silke and Kvasnicka, Michael 2006 Biases in Estimates of the Smoking Wage Penalty DIW Discussion Paper No. 654 Berlin German Institute for Economic Research Report cross-sectional 31 DIW Discussion Paper Gesundheit, Einkommen und Armut, Methoden http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.55665.de/dp654.pdf SOEP GB 4196 Headey, Bruce 2008 Life Goals Matter to Happiness: A Revision of Set-Point Theory Social Indicators Research 86 2 213-231 2006: DIW Discussion Paper No. 639.

IZA DP No. 2394. Bonn: Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) 10.1016/j.ehb.2009.06.003 Journal Article longitudinal 02 SSCI Journal labour, gender, health "Height; Wages; Men; Women; Nonlinearity; Discrimination; Private and public sector; Germany" Based on data of the German Socio-Economic Panel, this article investigates the relationship between height and wages by gender. Unlike previous investigations, which have been limited to an examination of linear effects, this one finds that height influences on wages are curvilinear, and more so for men than for women. More specifically, it finds that women who are shorter than average and men who are somewhat taller than average, but not among the tallest, enjoy significant wage advantages. Furthermore, using Blinder's decomposition to determine two components of wage differences, we find that these differences can be partitioned into an endowment component and unexplained influences (discrimination). There is a difference between the public and private sectors and between men and women as to the degree of the latter effect. This investigation supports the hypothesis that short and very tall men employed in the private sector are disadvantaged the most. The outcome for women is less robust than for men. http://ftp.iza.org/dp2394.pdf SOEP GB 4187 Dohmen, Thomas, Falk, Armin, Huffman, David and Sunde, Uwe 2008 The Intergenerational Transmission of Risk and Trust Attitudes CEPR Discussion Paper No. 6844 London Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR) "2006: IZA DP No. 2380.

In this paper, I explore whether and to what extent people with more social capital are sheltered from the harmful effects of unemployment. Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel 1984-2004, I find that social capital is an important predictor of well-being levels, but there is no evidence that it moderates the effect of unemployment on well-being. Possible reasons for these findings are discussed, and suggestions for future research given. http://ftp.iza.org/dp2346.pdf SOEP GB 4182 Corneo, Giacomo 2006 New Deal für Deutschland - Der dritte Weg zum Wachstum Frankfurt / New York Campus 82 Book citation of SOEP results 11 Book D 4181 Mattil, Birgit 2006 Pension Systems - Sustainability and Distributional Effects in Germany and the United Kingdom (Ph.D. thesis) Heidelberg Physica Book longitudinal 11 Book CNEF GB 4180 Klein, Thomas and Unger, Rainer 2006 Einkommen und Mortalität im Lebensverlauf Kölner Zeitschrift für Soziologie und Sozialpsychologie, Sonderheft 26/2006 56 144-157 Journal Article longitudinal 02 SSCI Journal SOEP D 4179 Dingeldey, Irene 2006 Holistic Governance oder die Notwendigkeit reflexiver Gestaltung von Familien- und Arbeitsmarktpolitik - Zur differenten Entwicklung der Vereinbarkeit von Familie und Beruf in Dänemark, Großbritannien und der Bundesrepublik Hans Bertram, Helga Krüger, C.

We use individual measures of reciprocal inclinations in a large, representative survey and relate reciprocity to real world labour market behaviour and life outcomes. We find that reciprocity matters and that the way in which it matters is very much in line with the experimental evidence. In particular, positive reciprocity is associated with receiving higher wages and working harder. Negatively reciprocal inclinations tend to xreduce effort. Negative reciprocity increases the likelihood of being unemployed. http://ftp.iza.org/dp2205.pdf CNEF GB 4141 Börsch-Supan and Jürges, Hendrik 2006 Early Retirement, Social Security and Well-Being in Germany NBER Working Paper 12303 Cambridge National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) Report longitudinal 30 Discussion Paper transfer systems, labour, subjective indicators SOEP GB 4140 Barth, Erling and Lucifora, Claudio 2006 Wage Dispersion, Markets and Institutions: The Effects of the Boom in Education on the Wage Structure IZA DP No. 2181 Bonn Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) Report longitudinal 30 Discussion Paper income and poverty, international comparison, education http://ftp.iza.org/dp2181.pdf CNEF GB 4139 Gräf, Bernhard 2006 Die Antwort ist 40 - aber lautete eigentlich die Frage?

Since the effect of the duration of residence in Germany on the home-ownership probability turns out to be insignificant, the empirical findings suggest that an assimilation process in home-ownership between native and immigrant households does not take place. Finally, differences in housing quality measures become insignificant after controlling for socioeconomic characteristics and contextual factors of native and immigrant households in an interacted model. http://www.rwi-essen.de/media/content/pages/publikationen/rwi-discussion-papers/DP_06_045.pdf SOEP GB 4124 Bauer, Thomas K., Göhlmann, Silja and Sinning, Mathias 2007 Gender Differences in Smoking Behavior Health Economics 16 9 895-909 "2006: CEPR Discussion Paper No. 5848.

Köln: Finanzwissenschaftliches Forschungsinstitut an der Universität Köln Journal Article Simulation 04 Other Journal Transfer system The aging of the population in Germany has led to growing concerns among politicians about the economic situation of households with children. This is also reflected in the recent tax policy debate on reforming the taxation of families and married couples. The purpose of this paper is threefold. We use a microsimulation approach to analyse how various reforms of family taxation would affect the incomes of families compared to singles and married couples without children. Moreover, we adress the distributional effects as well as possible consequences for labour supply. We focus on limited real income splitting systems. The simulation results show that limited real income splitting produces rather moderate vertical distributional effects, compared e.g. with the joint family income splitting of the French type. Furthermore real income splitting would lower the marginal tax rate on the second earner's income, creating incentives to take up employment. It would also generate additional tax revenue.

Its perspective is international, using the Luxembourg Income Study and asking whether economic efficiency suffers when governments make greater efforts to protect the poor. Using two different measures of productivity growth, we find no big tradeoff between equity and efficiency. That is, during those times and in those countries where greater efforts were made to protect the incomes of the poor, productivity growth does not seem to be affected very much. This gives some hope that efficiency concerns are not a fatal objection to guaranteed income plans. 4101 Pollak, Andreas 2005 Estimating a Life Cycle Model with Unemployment and Human Capital Depreciation Econ WPA Econometrics Series No. 0510004 o.O.

The theme of family and social networks has been addressed in the Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) longitudinal study every five years since 1991. In preparation for the main survey in 2006, a SOEP pretest was conducted in 2005 utilizing a revised survey concept for the operationalization of social networks and social support. This concept enables the different dimensions of social capital to be operationalized more comprehensively than is possible in other data sets. The empirical findings from the SOEP pretest show that especially on questions of the socio-demographic homogeneity or heterogeneity of social networks, friendship networks are displaying a trend toward increasing homogeneity in terms of both gender and age, but also educational and occupational status. These newly available longitudinal SOEP data on social capital will offer unique opportunities within a few years' time for causal analyses of the effects of social capital on individual career paths. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.44268.de/rn14.pdf SOEP D 4074 Büchner, Charlotte, Haan, Peter, Schmitt, Christian, Spieß, C.

Berlin: German Institute for Economic Research (DIW Berlin) Journal Article methodological 03 Refereed Journal methods This article examines the implications of moving to Computer-Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI) for data quality by analyzing the transition from Paper-and-Pencil (PAPI) to Computer-Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI) on a subsample of the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) conducted using an “experimental design” in Wave 1. The 2,000 addresses for the sample E of SOEP were split into two subsamples with the same structure, E1 and E2, using twin-sample points. Each of the 125 sample points contained 16 addresses (8 for E1 and 8 for E2) and with each interviewer alternating in the first wave between PAPI and CAPI mode. In the subsequent waves, the PAPI mode was partly replaced by CAPI. With this design we are able to control for possible interviewer effects in the analysis of mode effects in Wave 1. The article assesses whether any mode effects or mode-related compound effects are apparent for the response rate. Within the data, we examine monetary dimensions such as gross income and item and unit nonresponse rates. http://www.jos.nu/Articles/abstract.asp?article=262233 SOEP GB 4063 Kuchler, Carsten and Spiess, Martin 2006 The Data Quality concept of Accuracy in the context of Public Use Data Sets DIW Discussion Paper No. 586 Berlin German Institute for Economic Research (DIW Berlin) Report methodological 31 DIW Discussion Paper methods http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.44325.de/dp586.pdf SOEP GB 4062 Priller, Eckhard 2006 Veränderungen des Engagements und die sozialen Folgen Karl-Siegbert Rehberg Soziale Ungleichheit, Kulturelle Unterschiede.

Significance tests, which are based on bootstrapped confidence intervals, show that labour supply elasticities derived within the conditional logit model do not significantly differ from elasticities derived in flexible random coefficient models.

Unter Kostenaspekten müsste dies für Arbeitgeber ein Anreiz sein, Frauen zu beschäftigen. Tatsächlich sind Frauen in höheren Positionen aber nach wie vor viel seltener vertreten als Männer. Dies gilt insbesondere für Positionen mit sogenannten umfassenden Führungsaufgaben. Um den Anteil von Frauen in Führungspositionen deutlich zu steigern, müssen offenbar entschiedenere Maßnahmen zur Herstellung beruflicher Chancengleichheit ergriffen werden als bisher. Dazu gehören neben der Verbesserung der Vereinbarkeit von Familie und Beruf auch gezielte Personalentwicklungsmaßnahmen für qualifizierte Frauen. http://www.diw-berlin.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.44442.de/06-25-1.pdf SOEP D 4042 Leschke, Janine 2006 Are unemployment insurance systems on Europe capable of covering the special risks that persons with non-standard employment contracts are facing?

Katharina 2006 Netzwerke sind bei der Stellenfindung von Migranten bedeutend Wochenbericht des DIW Berlin 73 22 327-331 Journal Article cross-sectional 05 DIW Weekly Report migration, labour In Deutschland sind Migranten weit überdurchschnittlich von Arbeitslosigkeit betroffen. Wenn darüber nachgedacht wird, wie diese Gruppe von Arbeitslosen bei der Arbeitssuche unterstützt werden kann, ist es hilfreich, sich mit der Stellenfindung von Migranten detailliert zu beschäftigen. Analysen auf der Basis der Daten des vom DIW Berlin in Zusammenarbeit mit Infratest Sozialforschung erhobenen Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP) zeigen, dass bei der Stellenfindung von Migranten persönliche Netzwerke eine hohe Bedeutung haben, während anonyme Kanäle, insbesondere die Bundesagentur für Arbeit, eine geringere Rolle spielen: Fast die Hälfte aller Migranten, die im Jahre 2003 eine neue Stelle angetreten haben, geben an, diese über persönliche Netzwerke gefunden zu haben, während dies in der deutschen Vergleichsgruppe nur bei gut 30 % der Fall ist. Es zeigt sich zudem, dass Migranten, die auf diese Weise eine neue Stellen gefunden haben, Tätigkeiten ausüben, die mit größeren körperlichen Belastungen verbunden und wahrscheinlich auch wenig zukunftsträchtig sind. Hingegen hängen die Aufstiegsmöglichkeiten und der Verdienst nicht mit der Art der Stellenfindung zusammen. Für die Ausgestaltung der deutschen Arbeitsmarkt- und Integrationspolitik geben die Ergebnisse Hinweise darauf, dass die persönliche Vernetzung der Migranten indirekt dazu beiträgt, deren Integration am Arbeitsmarkt zumindest kurzfristig zu stabilisieren. Langfristig könnte dies aber den Verbleib von Migranten in weniger zukunftsträchtigen Arbeitsmarktsegmenten zementieren. Strategien zur Verbesserung der Arbeitsmarktchancen von Migranten sollten also nicht einseitig auf die Bundesagentur für Arbeit oder persönliche Netzwerke setzen. http://www.diw-berlin.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.44369.de/06-22-2.pdf SOEP D 3990 Schmitt, Christian and Wagner, Gert G. 2006 Kinderlosigkeit von Akademikerinnen überbewertet Wochenbericht des DIW Berlin 73 21 313-317 Journal Article longitudinal 05 DIW Weekly Report SOEP D 3989 Brenke, Karl and Wagner, Gert G. 2006 Fußball-Weltmeisterschaft in Deutschland: Ein wichtiges sportliches und kulturelles Ereignis - aber ohne nennenswerte gesamtwirtschaftliche Auswirkungen Wochenbericht des DIW Berlin 73 20 301-310 Journal Article cross-sectional 05 DIW Weekly Report SOEP D 3988 Korupp, Sylvia E., Künemund, Harald and Schupp, Jürgen 2006 Digitale Spaltung in Deutschland: Geringere Bildung - seltener am PC Wochenbericht des DIW Berlin 73 19 289-294 Journal Article cross-sectional 05 DIW Weekly Report SOEP D 3987 Brenke, Karl 2006 Wachsender Niedriglohnsektor in Deutschland - sind Mindestlöhne sinnvoll?

Jedoch stellt dieser Abwärtstrend der bezahlten Mehrarbeit nur einen Teil der Arbeitszeitentwicklung dar. Auswertungen der Daten des vom DIW Berlin in Zusammenarbeit mit Infratest Sozialforschung erhobenen Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP) zeigen, dass die Anzahl der Überstunden insgesamt nicht rückläu. g ist, sondern steigt, wenn alle Überstunden unabhängig von ihrer Kompensationsform betrachtet werden. In der aktuellen Diskussion um die Arbeitszeit wird von Arbeitgeberseite eine Verlängerung der Wochenarbeitszeit zur Senkung der Arbeitskosten gefordert, um die Position deutscher Unternehmen im internationalen Wettbewerb zu stärken. Zeichnet man jedoch ein umfassenderes Bild der Arbeitszeit in Deutschland und bezieht auch die in den amtlichen Statistiken nicht erfassten Arbeitsstunden in die Rechnung ein, wird deutlich, dass längst eine Arbeitszeitverlängerung stattgefunden hat. Bei der Mehrzahl der Beschäftigten übersteigt die tatsächliche Arbeitszeit den Umfang der vertraglich geregelten Wochenstunden, und ein beträchtlicher Anteil der Arbeitnehmer leistet Überstunden, die Arbeitszeitkonten gutgeschrieben werden. Darüber hinaus stellen zahlreiche Beschäftigte ihre Arbeitskraft den Unternehmen teilweise kostenlos zur Verfügung, indem sie unbezahlte Überstunden erbringen. Die Studie zeigt, dass der Umfang der bezahlten Überstunden zurückgeht, während unbezahlte und mit Freizeit kompensierte Mehrarbeit zunimmt. http://www.diw-berlin.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.44184.de/06-15-1.pdf SOEP D 3985 Francesconi, Marco, Jenkins, Stephen P. and Wagner, Gert G. 2006 Einfluss der Familienform auf den Schulerfolg von Kindern nicht nachweisbar Wochenbericht des DIW Berlin 73 13 165-169 Journal Article citation of SOEP results 05 DIW Weekly Report D 3984 Wrohlich, Katharina, Dell, Fabien and Baclet, Alexandre 2005 Income Taxation and its Family Components in France and Germany: A Comparison of Distributional Effects Weekly Report 1 31 349-356 Journal Article Simulation 05 DIW Weekly Report SOEP GB 3983 Spieß, C.

Die Arbeit fragt, ob sich ein zunehmender Teil der Bevölkerung Dinge des notwendigen Lebensstandards nicht mehr leisten kann. Anhand von fünf repräsentativen Bevölkerungsumfragen wird gezeigt, dass das Ausmaß der Deprivation seit Mitte der 90er Jahre mit der Höhe der Arbeitslosigkeit variiert und seit der Jahrtausendwende erheblich zugenommen hat. http://www.atypon-link.com/DH/doi/pdfplus/10.3790/vjh.75.1.131 SOEP D 3978 Kohli, Martin, Künemund, Harald, Schäfer, Andrea, Schupp, Jürgen and Vogel, Claudia 2006 Erbschaften und ihr Einfluss auf die Vermögensverteilung Vierteljahrshefte zur Wirtschaftsforschung 75 1 58-76 10.3790/vjh.75.1.58 Journal Article longitudinal 06 DIW Quarterly income and poverty, consumption / assets / habitation Der Beitrag stellt ausgewählte aktuelle Befunde zum Erbschafts- und Schenkungsgeschehen dar und analysiert den Einfluss von Erbschaften auf das Vermögen. Aus der Längsschnittperspektive auf Basis des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP) wird geklärt, wie weit die Vermögensübertragungen durch Erbschaften in Haushalten anfallen, die schon vorher ein beträchtliches Vermögen aufgebaut haben, und wie weit diese Erbschaften den Ausgangspunkt für die Vermögensbildung darstellen. Der Beitrag zeigt, dass eine Zunahme der Ungleichheit der Vermögensverteilung aufgrund des Erbschaftsgeschehens mit der in der Armuts- und Reichtumsforschung üblichen Methode relativer Ungleichheitsmaße nicht nachgewiesen werden kann. Die Ergebnisse weisen stattdessen darauf hin, dass Erbschaften auf die bestehende Vermögensverteilung tendenziell nivellierend wirken, weil Haushalte, die ohne Erbschaften über keinerlei Vermögen verfügen würden, erst dadurch überhaupt in die Lage versetzt werden, ein (wenn auch vielleicht geringes) Vermögen aufzubauen. Der Vermögenszuwachs durch Erbschaften bei der Gruppe der ohnehin bereits vermögenden Haushalte ist hingegen von relativ geringem Gewicht und führt daher auch nicht zu einer höheren Konzentration des Gesamtvermögens. http://www.atypon-link.com/DH/doi/pdfplus/10.3790/vjh.75.1.58 SOEP D 3977 Arndt, Christian and Volkert, Jürgen 2006 Amartya Sens Capability-Approach - Ein neues Konzept der deutschen Armuts- und Reichtumsberichterstattung Vierteljahrshefte zur Wirtschaftsforschung 75 1 7-29 10.3790/vjh.75.1.7 Journal Article cross-sectional 06 DIW Quarterly income and poverty, methods Im zweiten Armuts- und Reichtumsbericht wurde der Ansatz der Verwirklichungschancen („Capabilities“) des Ökonomie-Nobelpreisträgers Amartya Sen als neue konzeptionelle Grundlage angekündigt. Wir erörtern knapp, inwiefern Sens ethisch fundierter Ansatz eine zielführende Konzeption für die deutsche Armuts- und Reichtumsberichterstattung darstellt und skizzieren wesentliche Bestimmungsgründe der Verwirklichungschancen. Am Beispiel eines eigenen Indikatorenkonzepts auf der Grundlage der aktuellen Welle 2004 des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP) beleuchten wir diese Bestimmungsgründe sowie einige wesentliche sozialpolitische Schlussfolgerungen mit empirischen deskriptiven Ergebnissen. Ein besonderer Vorzug des Konzepts gegenüber bisherigen Methoden ist das stimmige Zusammenspiel ethischer Gerechtigkeitspositionen mit wirtschafts- und sozialwissenschaftlichen Ansätzen sowie empirischen Konkretisierungen. Auf dieser Grundlage können Ausgrenzung und Privilegierung gesellschaftlicher Gruppen geeignet erfasst und notwendige Aspekte des Gender Mainstreaming im Kontext von Armut und Reichtum berücksichtigt werden. Die Weite des Konzepts kann zur Versachlichung der Diskussion beitragen sowie für sozialpolitische Maßnahmen wichtige Zusammenhänge zwischen finanziellen und nichtfinanziellen Beeinträchtigungen und Privilegien erhellen. http://www.atypon-link.com/DH/doi/pdfplus/10.3790/vjh.75.1.7 SOEP D 3976 Breuer, Christoph 2006 Sportpartizipation in Deutschland: ein demo-ökonomisches Modell Sportwissenschaft 36 3 292-305 2006: DIW Discussion Paper No. 575.

The success of New Labour in the UK has triggered a growing interests in instruments capable of combining the promotion of responsibility and self-sufficiency with solidarity with less skilled workers. Making-work-pay (MWP) policies, consisting of transfers to households with low earning capacity, have quickly emerged as the most politically acceptable instruments in tax-benefit reforms of many Anglo-Saxon countries. This chapter explores the impact of introducing the British Working Families’ Tax Credit (WFTC) in three EU countries with rather different labor market and welfare institutions: Finland, France and Germany. Simulating the reform reveals that, while first-round effects on income distribution is considerable, the interaction of the new instrument with the structural characteristics of the economy and the population may lead to counterproductive second round effects (i.e. changes in economic behavior). The implementation of the reform, in this case, could only be justified if the social inclusion (i.e. transition into activity) of some specific household types (singles and single mothers) is valued more than a rise in the employment per se. ftp://ftp.iza.org/dps/dp2025.pdf, http://www.iser.essex.ac.uk/publications/working-papers/euromod/em2-06.pdf EUROMOD GB 3946 Fagan, Colette, O'Reilly, Jacqueline and Halpin, Brendan 2005 Job opportunities for whom?

Seitdem ist die Vermittlung von Arbeitnehmern an Unternehmen auch für private Agenturen möglich. In diesem Beitrag werden auf Grundlage such- und signaltheoretischer Überlegungen mögliche Selektionseffekte durch private Arbeitsvermittler und deren Vermittlungserfolg im Vergleich zur Bundesagentur für Arbeit empirisch untersucht. Es zeigt sich, dass Selektionseffekte in der Form Relevanz besitzen, dass sich sowohl die vermittelten Personen als auch die Jobs deutlich voneinander unterscheiden. Selbst unter Kontrolle etlicher personen- und jobspezifischer Merkmale sind positive Vermittlungsdifferentiale in Form höherer Löhne bei Vermittlungen über private Agenturen zu beobachten. Die entsprechenden Personen verfügten aber auch bereits auf ihrer letzten Arbeitstelle über höhere Löhne. SOEP D 3942 Mortensen, Joergen, Spiess, C.

Zum anderen sind haushaltsnahe Dienstleistungen ein Instrument zur besseren Vereinbarkeit von Kindererziehung und Beruf sowie zur Unterstützung von Pflegetätigkeiten in Haushalten von Älteren. Durch die Debatten über bessere Rahmenbedingungen für die Realisierung von Kinderwünschen sowie den Vorrang ambulanter vor stationärer Pflege trat dieser Aspekt in der letzten Zeit vermehrt in den Vordergrund. Die Versuche, Privathaushalte verstärkt zu Arbeitgebern zu machen, haben nur begrenzt Beschäftigungswirkungen gezeigt. Dies ist nicht erstaunlich, da die Bedarfe vieler Familien und Alleinlebender eher in Richtung stundenweise gekaufter Dienstleistungen gehen. Diese Nachfrage kann über Dienstleistungsanbieter besser befriedigt werden. Damit sich ein solcher Markt in Konkurrenz zur Schwarzarbeit entwickeln kann, ist an eine befristete Förderung zu denken. Viele Haushalte würden qualifizierte Dienste nachfragen; Unqualifizierten würde durch diese Dienstleistungsanbieter auch geholfen werden, da hier auch einfache Dienste benötigt werden.

After World War II, Germany was split by the allied forces. Two Germanies emerged: the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) and the German Democratic Republic (GDR). The country’s division lasted about forty years (1949–1989), a time span in which vastly different geo-political frameworks — Eastern bloc versus Western bloc — shaped people’s lives and eventually their name choices as well. The results of this complex relationship are addressed here with the following questions: to what extent can different naming patterns and name references be observed in the two parts of divided Germany, regardless of their common language and cultural heritage? Can differences in taste be identified, and how did these differences develop over time? These questions are answered here using the German Socio-Economic Panel Study (SOEP). The SOEP offers the rare opportunity of examining patterns of occurrence of first names among a representative sample of 56,000 individuals born since 1900. Moreover, this study includes a wide range of variables revealing the social and economic backgrounds of the “name givers”: the parents. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.43906.de/rn8.pdf SOEP GB 3902 Kohli, Martin, Schupp, Jürgen and al., et 2005 Zusammenhänge und Wechselwirkungen zwischen Erbschaften und Vermögensverteilung.

I show that the determinants of the under-utilisation of holiday entitlements in the United Kingdom and Germany are widely similar to those of unpaid overtime work. The main finding of the study is that the investment hypothesis determines this form of unpaid work as well. Hence, employees work an amount of days in addition to what is contractually specified and paid for to signal a higher productivity. Envisaged future rewards may take the form of promotions, higher salaries and job security. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.43902.de/rn7.pdf SOEP GB 3808 Dittmann, Jörg 2005 Forschungsbericht über die prototypische Verknüpfung des SOEP mit ,Medien Tenor'-Daten DIW Research Notes 6 Berlin German Institute for Economic Research (DIW Berlin) Report methodological 35 Other DIW Publications Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, wie sich Fernsehberichterstattung und öffentliche Meinung in Deutschland im zeitlichen Verlauf verändern. Dazu werden erstmalig Mikro-Befragungsdaten des Sozio-Oekonomischen Panels (SOEP) mit Daten über die inhaltliche Berichterstattung der Medien – erhoben und aufbereitet von der Firma ‚Medien Tenor’ – für die Jahre 1998 bis 2003 taggenau verknüpft. Das Längsschnittdesign ermöglicht somit einen Vergleich von Veränderungen in der Medienberichterstattung und der öffentlichen Meinung auf der Ebene von Tagen und Wochen. Das Untersuchungsdesign erlaubt zudem eine Abschätzung der Wechselwirkungen zwischen der Medienagenda und der Agenda der öffentlichen Meinung. Darüber hinaus ist diese Verknüpfung methodisch interessant, da sie eine bislang nicht ausgenutzte Eigenschaft der seit 1984 erhobenen Längsschnittstudie SOEP ausnutzt: eine über Monate hinweggehende und taggenau dokumentierte Feldzeit der Befragung sowie relativ große, d.h. auswertbare, Fallzahlen für einzelne Erhebungswochen mindestens der ersten 6 Monate eines jeden Jahres. Schließlich wird auch die bislang nicht ausgeschöpfte Power der ‚Medien Tenor’-Daten demonstriert. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.43770.de/rn6.pdf SOEP D 3807 Gerlitz, Jean-Yves and Schupp, Jürgen 2005 Zur Erhebung der Big-Five-basierten Persönlichkeitsmerkmale im SOEP DIW Research Notes 4 Berlin German Institute for Economic Research (DIW Berlin) Report Technical documentation 35 Other DIW Publications "In den Sozial- und Wirtschaftswissenschaften ist in den letzten Jahren der Trend zu beobachten, bei der mikroanalytischen Fundierung der menschlichen Handlungstheorie individuellen Präferenzen und Werten eine stärkere Beachtung zu schenken. Nachdem in den vergangenen Jahren bereits diverse sozialpsychologisch motivierte Erweiterungen im Fragenprogramm des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP) erfolgten, ist es in diesem Jahr zu einer Abrundung um Indikatoren der Persönlichkeit gekommen. Es wurde auf den Big-Five-Ansatz zurückgegriffen, ein psychologisches Konzept zur Erfassung der Persönlichkeit. Im Mittelpunkt des Ansatzes steht die Annahme, dass Persönlichkeitsunterschiede zwischen Individuen, die sich in Verhaltens- und Erlebensweisen ausdrücken, auf die fünf zentralen Persönlichkeitsdimensionen Neurotizismus (N), Extraversion (E), Offenheit für Erfahrungen (O), Verträglichkeit (V) und Gewissenhaftigkeit (G) zurückzuführen sind. Im Rahmen eines Pretests wurden im Jahre 2004 diverse ""Kurzskalen"" für diesen Big-Five-Ansatz einer methodischen Prüfung unterzogen. Ziel war es, eine theoretisch anschlussfähige Kurzskala (BFI-S) für die SOEP-Haupterhebung 2005 zu entwickeln. Das in diesem Beitrag entwickelte Kurzinventar BFI-S umfasst 15 Items und ist innerhalb von zwei Minuten von den Survey-Befragten zu bearbeiten. Die Items der einzelnen Skalen weisen einen starken internen Zusammenhang auf. Dem Kurzinventar liegt die konzeptionalisierte Fünf-Faktoren-Struktur der Big Five zugrunde, und das BFI-S vermag zudem in hohem Maße die Ergebnisse des BFI mit 25 Items zu replizieren. Auch die durchgeführten Reliabilitätstests führten zu einem befriedigenden Gesamtergebnis und zeigen unter dem Strich starke empirische Hinweise für die Gültigkeit des Persönlichkeitskonzepts ""Big Five"" anhand des BFI-S." http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.43490.de/rn4.pdf SOEP D 3806 Ichino, Andrea and Riphahn, Regina T. 2004 Absenteeism and employment protection: Three case studies Swedish Economic Policy Review 11 1 95-114 Journal Article cross-sectional 03 Refereed Journal http://www.lsw.wiso.uni-erlangen.de/team/riphahn/absenteeism.pdf SOEP GB 3805 Tamm, Marcus 2005 The Effect of Poverty on the Health of Newborn Children RWI Discussion Papers No. 33 Essen Rheinisch-Westfälisches Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung Report cross-sectional 30 Discussion Paper income and poverty, health Poverty, child birth, doctor visits This paper analyses the association between health outcomes of newborn children and mother’s poverty status during pregnancy.We use a new questionnaire accompanying the GSOEP which collects abundant information on health outcomes.

Bonn: Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) 10.1080/00036840701721612 Journal Article methodological 02 SSCI Journal methods In this article, a decomposition method for Tobit models is derived, which allows the differences in observed outcome variables between two groups to be decomposed into a part that is explained by differences in observed characteristics and a part attributable to differences in the estimated coefficients. Monte Carlo simulations demonstrate that in the case of censored dependent variables this decomposition method produces more reliable results than the conventional Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition for linear regression models. Finally, our method is applied to a decomposition of the gender wage gap using German data. ftp://ftp.iza.org/dps/dp1795.pdf SOEP GB 3797 Boes, Stefan and Winkelmann, Rainer 2010 The Effect of Income on General Life Satisfaction and Dissatisfaction Social Indicators Research 95 1 111-128 2006: The Effect of Income on Positive and Negative Subjective Well-Being.

Two separate measures of the dependent variable may therefore be needed when analyzing the determinants of subjective well-being. We investigate asymmetries in the effect of income on subjective well-being with a single-item measure of general life satisfaction. Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel 1984–2004, and a flexible multiple-index ordered probit panel data model with varying thresholds, we find that income has only a minor effect on high satisfaction but significantly reduces dissatisfaction. http://www.soi.uzh.ch/research/wp/2006/wp0605.pdf SOEP GB 3796 Budría, Santiago and Pereira, Pedro Telhado 2005 Educational Qualifications and Wage Inequality: Evidence for Europe IZA DP No. 1763 Bonn Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) Report longitudinal 30 Discussion Paper education, income and poverty, international comparison ftp://ftp.iza.org/dps/dp1763.pdf CNEF GB 3795 Boes, Stefan, Lipp, Markus and Winkelmann, Rainer 2007 Money illusion under test Economics Letters 94 3 332-337 2005: Socioeconomic Institute Working Paper No. 0514.

Our main result is that the mobility of young adults crucially depends on the presence of a sibling. Siblings compete in location and employment decisions to direct parental care decisions towards their preferred outcome. Only children are not exposed to this kind of competition. This causes an equilibrium in which siblings exhibit higher mobility than only children, and also have better labour market outcomes. Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel, we find evidence that confirms these patterns. http://www.iser.essex.ac.uk/pubs/workpaps/pdf/2005-18.pdf, http://ftp.iza.org/dp1842.pdf, http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.44544.de/dp608.pdf SOEP GB 3786 Francesconi, Marco, Jenkins, Stephen P. and Siedler, Thomas 2009 Childhood family structure and schooling outcomes: Evidence for Germany Journal of Population Economics online first "2005: ISER Working Paper No. 2005-22.

We find that this experience is associated with worse outcomes according to estimates from models that do not control for possible correlations between common unobserved determinants of family structure and educational performance. Evidence of adverse effects emerges also when endogeneity is accounted for. In such cases, however, the point estimates are typically smaller, and their confidence intervals are large enough to include zero, particularly for individuals who grew up in Western Germany. http://www.iser.essex.ac.uk/pubs/workpaps/pdf/2005-22.pdf, ftp://ftp.iza.org/dps/dp1837.pdf, http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.44549.de/dp610.pdf SOEP GB 3785 Arranz, José M., Davia, María A. and García-Serrano, Carlos 2005 Labour Market Transitions and wage dynamics in Europe ISER Working Paper No. 2005-17 Colchester University of Essex, Institute for Social and Economic Research (ISER) Report longitudinal 30 Discussion Paper labour, income and poverty, international comparison http://www.iser.essex.ac.uk/pubs/workpaps/pdf/2005-17.pdf ECHP GB 3784 Pedersen, Peder J. and Schmidt, Torben Dall 2005 What is Unemployment in Europe?

In Deutschland ist die gesetzliche Situation bezüglich dieser Fragestellungen alles andere als explizit, so dass eine repräsentative Untersuchung auf Basis des Sozio-ökonomischen Panels der Jahre 1991 bis 2004 sinnvoll erscheint. Als grundsätzliche Ergebnisse sind festzuhalten, dass die Betriebszugehörigkeitsdauer und die Unternehmensgröße den Bezug und der Lohn bzw. die Betriebszugehörigkeitsdauer die Höhe der Zahlungen wesentlich beeinflussen, auch wenn eine große Streuung zu beobachten ist. Durchschnittlich werden 10.000 oder ein halbes Bruttomonatsgehalt pro Jahr der Betriebszugehörigkeitsdauer gezahlt.

Dies gilt sowohl für die Umverteilung zwischen Haushalten unterschiedlicher Größe als auch für die zwischen Haushalten unterschiedlichen Einkommens. Alleinstehende ohne Kinder werden in Deutschland im Vergleich zu anderen Haushaltstypen im Durchschnitt stärker belastet als in Frankreich. Paare mit einem, zwei oder drei Kindern werden in Deutschland vergleichsweise weniger stark belastet als in Frankreich. Bei den Paaren mit vier oder mehr Kindern ist die relative Belastung durch die Einkommensteuer in beiden Ländern gleich. Insgesamt werden in Deutschland alle Haushalte mit Kindern durch die Einkommensteuer unterdurchschnittlich belastet, während dies in Frankreich nur auf Alleinerziehende und Paare mit drei oder mehr Kindern zutrifft. In Frankreich gibt es demnach eine stärkere Umverteilung von Paaren mit einem oder zwei Kindern zu Haushalten mit drei oder mehr Kindern als in Deutschland. Unterschiede sind auch bei den Umverteilungswirkungen nach der Höhe des Haushaltseinkommens festzustellen: Für alle Haushalte mit Kindern ist die Belastung in den unteren fünf Dezilen in Deutschland deutlich geringer (bzw. die Entlastung größer) als in Frankreich. Nur Paare mit Kindern in den obersten beiden Dezilen - bei den Paaren mit drei Kindern in den obersten drei Dezilen - werden durch das französische System stärker entlastet als in Deutschland. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.43474.de/05-33-1.pdf SOEP D 3713 Christensen, Björn 2005 Die Lohnansprüche deutscher Arbeitsloser - Determinanten und Auswirkungen von Reservationslöhnen (Kieler Studien Band 333) Berlin et al.

Dabei wird zur Abgrenzung von Armut nicht nur das Einkommen zugrunde gelegt, sondern auch die Einkommensverwendung betrachtet und der Frage nachgegangen, wie Einkommen und Realisierung von Lebensstandard korrelieren. Es wird insbesondere untersucht, aus welchen Gründen und unter welchen Bedingungen sich im Zeitverlauf der Lebensstandard eines Haushaltes verändert und welche Personengruppen besonders von Deprivationsmerkmalen betroffen sind.

Bayreuth: Universität Bayreuth, Rechts- und Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Fakultät Journal Article cross-sectional 04 Other Journal health, econometrics, transfer systems Physician-patient relationship - Health behavior - Bivariate probit panel The importance of the physician-patient relationship for the health care market is beyond controversy. Recent work emphasizes a two-sided asymmetric information relationship between physician and patient. In contrast to most work looking only at the physician’s perspective, our paper concentrates on the patient’s view. Estimation results support the hypotheses that physician consultation and health relevant behavior are not stochastically independent. In the recursive bivariate probit model, patient’s health relevant behavior has a significant influence on the probability of a physician visit. This means that health care demand and not only the contact decision is determined by both, patient and physician. http://www.fiwi.uni-bayreuth.de/Workingpapers/WP_09-05.pdf SOEP GB 3618 Becker, Rolf and Lauterbach, Wolfgang 2005 Vom Nutzen vorschulischer Kinderbetreuung für Bildungschancen Rolf Becker, Wolfgang Lauterbach Bildung als Privileg?

Essen: RWI Report longitudinal 30 Discussion Paper consumption / assets / habitation, migration Savings, Migration This paper examines the relative savings position of migrant households in West Germany, paying particular attention to differences between temporary and permanent migrants.Our findings reveal significant differences in the savings rates between foreign-born and German-born individuals. These differences disappear, however, for temporary migrants, if their remittances are taken into account. The results of a decomposition analysis indicate that differences in the savings rate between Germans and foreigners can mainly be attributed to differences in observable characteristics.We do not find strong evidence for an adjustment of the savings rate between immigrants and natives over time. http://www.rwi-essen.de/media/content/pages/publikationen/rwi-discussion-papers/DP_05_029.pdf SOEP GB 3601 Reinecke, Jost 2005 Strukturgleichungsmodelle in den Sozialwissenschaften München und Wien Oldenbourg Book methodological 11 Book SOEP D 3600 Serfling, Oliver 2005 The Interaction between Item, Questionnaire and Unit Nonresponse in the German SOEP "Schmollers Jahrbuch (Proceedings of the 6th International Conference of German Socio-Economic Panel Study Users, ed. by Büchel, Felix; D'Ambrosio, Conchita and Frick, Joachim R.)" 125 1 195-205 Journal Article methodological 03 Refereed Journal SOEP GB 3599 Schäfer, Christin, Schräpler, Jörg-Peter, Müller, Klaus-Robert and Wagner, Gert G. 2005 Automatic Identification of Faked and Fraudulent Interviews in the German SOEP "Schmollers Jahrbuch (Proceedings of the 6th International Conference of German Socio-Economic Panel Study Users, ed. by Büchel, Felix; D'Ambrosio, Conchita and Frick, Joachim R.)" 125 1 183-193 Journal Article methodological 03 Refereed Journal SOEP GB 3598 Basic, Edin, Marek, Ivo and Rendtel, Ulrich 2005 The German Microcensus as a Tool for Longitudinal Data Analysis: An Evaluation Using SOEP Data "Schmollers Jahrbuch (Proceedings of the 6th International Conference of German Socio-Economic Panel Study Users, ed. by Büchel, Felix; D'Ambrosio, Conchita and Frick, Joachim R.)" 125 1 167-181 "2004: Methodenverbund ""Aufbereitung und Bereitstellung des Mikrozensus als Panelstichprobe"" Arbeitspapier Nr. 3.

Mit dem Tagesbetreuungsausbaugesetz will die Bundesregierung die Betreuung für Kinder unter drei Jahren ausbauen. Dabei geht sie aufgrund von „Makroschätzungen“ davon aus, dass rund 230 000 Betreuungsplätze für Kinder unter drei Jahren fehlen. Das DIW Berlin hat auf der Basis von Mikrodaten, die eine Abschätzung aufgrund individueller Bedarfslagen ermöglichen, neue Berechnungen durchgeführt, die zeigen, dass etwa 250 000 Plätze für Kinder mit erwerbstätigen Müttern benötigt werden. Mit dem von der Bundesregierung geplanten Ausbau der Betreuungsplätze für Kinder unter drei Jahren könnte daher für diese Gruppe der Bedarf annähernd gedeckt werden. Allerdings zeigen die neuen Berechnungen auch, dass darüber hinaus ein Bedarf besteht, um die Nachfrage der Mütter zu befriedigen, die einen starken Erwerbswunsch haben. Insgesamt würden in ganz Deutschland über 1,2 Mill. Plätze nachgefragt, wenn diese angeboten würden. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.43028.de/05-14-1.pdf SOEP D 3556 Krause, Peter and Schäfer, Andrea 2005 Verteilung von Vermögen und Einkommen in Deutschland: Große Unterschiede nach Geschlecht und Alter Wochenbericht des DIW Berlin 72 11 199-207 Journal Article cross-sectional 05 DIW Weekly Report SOEP D 3555 Kroh, Martin 2005 Die Sorgen der Bevölkerung über die Folgen der EU-Erweiterung Wochenbericht des DIW Berlin 72 11 193-198 2005: DIW at school Heft 2.

We use EUROMOD to simulate a set of common illustrative reforms for four countries selected on the basis of their diverse pension systems and patterns of poverty among the elderly: Denmark, Germany, Italy and the UK. The variations in fiscal and distributive effects on the one hand suggest that different paths for reform are necessary in order to achieve common objectives across countries, and on the other provide indications of the appropriate directions for reform in each case. http://www.econ.cam.ac.uk/dae/mu/publications/emwp0505.pdf EUROMOD GB 3527 Corak, Miles, Lietz, Christine and Sutherland, Holly 2005 The Impact of Tax and Transfer Systems on Children in the European Union Innocenti Working Paper No. 2005-004 Florence UNICEF Innocenti Research Centre "2005: EUROMOD Working Paper No. EM4/05.

This has made it difficult to evaluate claims that equality has come at the expense of economic growth. In this article, the authors examine more directly the relationship between welfare state generosity in three social insurance programs— unemployment, sickness, and pensions—and poverty levels in advanced industrial democracies in the past quarter of the 20th century. The results strongly suggest that more generous entitlements to key social insurance programs are associated not only with lower relative poverty but also with lower absolute poverty. This supports the contention that promoting relative economic equality can improve the absolute material well-being of the poor. However, no evidence suggests that relatively more generous unemployment benefits systematically reduce poverty. http://www.lisproject.org/publications/LISwps/409.pdf LIS GB 3507 Bäckmann, Olof 2005 Welfare States, Social Structure and the Dynamics of Poverty Rates: A Comparative Study of 16 Countries, 1980-2000 Luxembourg Income Study Working Paper No. 408 Syracuse Syracuse University, Maxwell School Report cross-sectional 30 Discussion Paper income and poverty, transfer systems, international comparison http://www.lisproject.org/publications/liswps/408.pdf LIS GB 3506 Kuivalainen, Susan 2005 Families at the Margins of the Welfare State: A Comparative Study on the Prevalence of Poverty among Families Receiving Social Assistance Luxembourg Income Study Working Paper No. 403 Syracuse Syracuse University, Maxwell School Report cross-sectional 30 Discussion Paper family and networks, income and poverty, transfer systems, international comparison http://www.lisproject.org/publications/LISwps/403.pdf LIS GB 3505 Ontiveros, Darwin Ugarte and Verardi, Vincenzo 2005 Electoral Systems, Poverty and Income Inequality Luxembourg Income Study Working Paper No. 402 Syracuse Syracuse University, Maxwell School Report cross-sectional 30 Discussion Paper income and poverty, international comparison, miscellaneous http://www.lisproject.org/publications/LISwps/402.pdf LIS GB 3504 Dastrup, Samuel R., Hartshorn, Rachel and Mcdonald, James B. 2005 The Impact of Taxes and Transfer Payments on the Distribution of Income: a Parametric Comparison Luxembourg Income Study Working Paper No. 401 Syracuse Syracuse University, Maxwell School Report cross-sectional 30 Discussion Paper transfer systems, income and poverty, international comparison http://www.lisproject.org/publications/LISwps/401.pdf LIS GB 3503 Kenworthy, Lane and Pontusson, Jonas 2005 Rising Inequality and the Politics of Redistribution in Affluent Countries Luxembourg Income Study Working Paper No. 400 Syracuse Syracuse University, Maxwell School Report cross-sectional 30 Discussion Paper income and poverty, transfer systems, international comparison http://www.lisproject.org/publications/LISwps/400.pdf LIS GB 3502 Misra, Joya and Moller, Stephanie 2005 Familialism and Welfare Regimes: Poverty, Employment, and Family Policies Luxembourg Income Study Working Paper No. 399 Syracuse Syracuse University, Maxwell School Report cross-sectional 30 Discussion Paper family and networks, income and poverty, labour, transfer systems, international comparison http://www.lisproject.org/publications/LISwps/399.pdf LIS GB 3501 Strengmann-Kuhn, Wolfgang 1999 Statistische Instrumente zur Erfassung von working poor: Die Situation in Deutschland Bundesamt für Statistik Armut verstehen - Armut bekämpfen.

Der Wettbewerb zwischen den Kassen wurde damit erheblich verstärkt. Wegen des Verbots risikoabhängiger Prämien (Diskriminierungsverbot) haben die Krankenkassen einen Anreiz, aktiv Risikoselektion zu betreiben – sich also aktiv um eine Verbesserung ihres Risikopools zu bemühen. In diesem Beitrag wird argumentiert, dass die Wettbewerbsverzerrungen in der GKV nicht auf aktive, sondern auf passive Risikoselektion zurückzuführen sind. Das Problem liegt also nicht im Wettbewerb selbst, sondern in der schlechten Organisation des Wettbewerbs. Ein verbesserter Risikostrukturausgleich würde dieses Problem entschärfen und zudem eine weitere Stärkung des Wettbewerbs ermöglichen. http://www.atypon-link.com/DH/doi/pdfplus/10.3790/vjh.73.4.528 SOEP D 3462 Storbeck, Olaf 2005 Die Ökonomie des Klimawandels Handelsblatt, 24.02.2005, Nr. 39 8 Magazine Article citation of SOEP results 60 Popular Publication D 3461 Kaltenborn, Bruno 2004 Zusammensetzung von Haushalten mit Arbeitslosenhilfeempfängern Beiträge zur Wirtschaftsforschung und Politikberatung Nr. 24 Berlin Wipol Report cross-sectional 30 Discussion Paper http://www.wipol.de/download/beitrwipol024.pdf SOEP D 3460 Kaltenborn, Bruno 2004 Arbeitsangebotseffekte des Erziehungsgeldes Beiträge zur Wirtschaftsforschung und Politikberatung Nr. 19 Berlin Wipol Report Simulation 30 Discussion Paper http://www.wipol.de/download/beitrwipol019.pdf SOEP D 3459 Kaltenborn, Bruno 2004 Finanzbedarf und Arbeitsangebotswirkungen eines Familiengeldes Beiträge zur Wirtschaftsforschung und Politikberatung Nr. 14 Berlin Wipol Report Simulation 30 Discussion Paper http://www.wipol.de/download/beitrwipol012.pdf SOEP D 3458 Kaltenborn, Bruno 2004 "Einführungskosten und Arbeitsangebotswirkungen einer ""Konvergenz"" von Arbeitslosen- und Sozialhilfe" Beiträge zur Wirtschaftsforschung und Politikberatung Nr. 7 Berlin Wipol Report Simulation 30 Discussion Paper http://www.wipol.de/download/beitrwipol007.pdf SOEP D 3457 Federal Ministry of Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and (ed.), Youth 2004 OECD Early Childhood Policy Review 2002-2004.

Journal Article methodological 02 SSCI Journal Income and poverty, methods Earnings equation, panel attrition, ECHP Since attrition in the European Community Household Panel (ECHP) has cumulated to a considerable extent, there is concern that attrition biases empirical analysis. In this paper we compare the performance of four different strategies for estimating an earnings equation in the presence of panel attrition. By splitting the completely observed sample in one wave according to the response behavior of the following wave, we assess empirically the bias of an un-weighted, an inverse probability weighted, a Heckman and a matching estimator through bootstrap methods. Our findings lead us to several conclusions. First, for the example of Mincerian earnings equations, attrition is no matter of great concern when using the ECHP data. Second, the three estimation strategies, which correct for attrition based on estimated response probabilities, reduce the number of significantly biased parameters. Third, the correction strategies strongly increase the variance of the estimates through relying on estimated response probabilities and increase the relative bias. Hence, the reduction of significant biases is rather due to increased variance than due to lower biases. This result is confirmed when comparing the mean square error of the different estimation techniques. Therefore, for the estimation of income equations the uncorrected estimation based on respondents is suggested as the superior estimation strategy.

This legal title hardly effects the slowly but steadily growing number of part-time jobs. Nevertheless, data from the socioeconomic panel suggest that about 25% of employees wish to reduce their workingtime even if this is associated with a loss of income. The HR-manager is seen as a mediator and is expected to play a major role moderating the effect of the legislative implementation. Therefore the HR managers’ concepts and attitudes towards part-time as well as the psychological contract are the subject of the presented study. 42 HRmanagers have been interviewed. The data are analysed according to qualitative content analysis. In common use the right to reduce one’s working-time is rather seen as a matter of negotiation than an obligation to comply. Indeed, the majority of the HRmanagers express their goodwill but the acceptance of the part-time requests is dependent on general beliefs, work ethic, and role concepts. Regarding the right to parttime, these are indicators for a weak direct impact of labour law on the managerial reality.

Data from the German Socio-Economic Panel are used to estimate poverty rates, rates of entry to and exit from poverty, and the duration of time spent in and out of poverty. The analysis focuses upon comparisons between East andWest Germany,by family structure, and citizenship status. Child poverty rates have drifted upward since 1991, and have been increasing more than the rates for the overall population since the mid-1990s. In part these changes are due to increasing poverty among children from households headed by non-citizens. Children in single parent households are by all measures at considerable risk of living in poverty. There are also substantial differences in the incidence of child poverty and its dynamics between East and West Germany. http://www.rwi-essen.de/media/content/pages/publikationen/rwi-discussion-papers/DP_05_026.pdf, http://www.unicef-icdc.org/publications/pdf/iwp_2005_03_final.pdf, ftp://ftp.iza.org/dps/dp1528.pdf SOEP GB 3428 Chen, When-Hao and Corak, Miles 2005 Child Poverty and Changes in Child Poverty in Rich Countries since 1990 Innocenti Working Paper 2005-02 Florence UNICEF Innocenti Research Centre "2005: Luxembourg Income Study Working Paper No. 405.

Dies zeigt eine Auswertung des vom DIW Berlin in Zusammenarbeit mit Infratest Sozialforschung erhobenen Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP). Zusammenlebende Paare mit Kindern kommen danach – gemessen an der gesamten Bevölkerung – auf ein durchschnittliches Einkommen. Das Armutsrisiko ist jedoch umso höher, je kleiner das jüngste Kind ist. Dieses Muster gilt auch für Alleinerziehende, die generell ein überdurchschnittliches Risiko für Einkommensarmut aufweisen, das sich zudem seit Mitte der 80er Jahre weiter erhöht hat. Die Einkommensposition der älteren Menschen in Deutschland hat sich hingegen in den vergangenen 20 Jahren deutlich verbessert. Abgesehen von alleinstehenden älteren Frauen ist die Armutsrate bei älteren Menschen geringer als in der Gesamtbevölkerung. Die in diesem Bericht angewandten Messverfahren werden im Wesentlichen auch im Armuts- und Reichtumsbericht der Bundesregierung verwendet. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/42958/05-9-1.pdf SOEP D 3426 Steiner, Viktor and Katharina, Wrohlich 2005 Minijob-Reform: Keine durchschlagende Wirkung Wochenbericht des DIW Berlin 72 8 141-146 Journal Article Simulation 05 DIW Weekly Report labour, income and poverty Die sog. Minijob-Reform, die als Teil des Zweiten Gesetzes für moderne Dienstleistungen am Arbeitsmarkt („Hartz II“) am 1. April 2003 in Kraft trat, soll die Arbeitsanreize im Bereich geringer Erwerbseinkommen verbessern und damit die strukturelle Arbeitslosigkeit reduzieren. Dazu wurde die bisherige Beschränkung der wöchentlichen Arbeitszeit auf maximal 15 Stunden aufgehoben und die Geringfügigkeitsgrenze bei der Sozialversicherung erhöht. Die Arbeitsmarktwirkungen und die Effekte der Reform auf Steueraufkommen und Sozialversicherungsbeiträge wurden vom DIW Berlin auf der Basis eines Mikrosimulationsmodells untersucht. Dabei sind auch indirekte Effekte, die sich aus den Arbeitsmarktwirkungen auf das Einkommensteueraufkommen und auf die Arbeitnehmerbeiträge zur Sozialversicherung ergeben, berechnet worden. Es wurden nicht nur die Wirkungen der Reform auf das Arbeitsangebot der bisher nicht erwerbstätigen Personen, sondern auch die in der wirtschaftspolitischen Diskussion häufig unberücksichtigten Effekte auf das Arbeitsangebot der bereits Beschäftigten analysiert. Die Schätzungen zeigen, dass die Minijob-Reform mit einer geringen Zunahme der Zahl der ausschließlich geringfügig beschäftigten Personen verbunden sein dürfte. Unberücksichtigt bleiben bei der Analyse mögliche Effekte auf den Umfang der Nebenerwerbstätigkeit und auf die eventuelle Legalisierung der bisherigen Schwarzarbeit. Gleichzeitig ist aber zu erwarten, dass aufgrund der Reform bereits Beschäftigte ihre Arbeitszeit reduzieren. Unter dem Strich dürfte daher das gesamte Arbeitsvolumen leicht sinken. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/42919/05-8-1.pdf SOEP D 3425 Schäfer, Andrea and Vogel, Claudia 2005 Teilzeitbeschäftigung als Arbeitsmarktchance Wochenbericht des DIW Berlin 72 7 131-138 Journal Article longitudinal 05 DIW Weekly Report labour, gender Mehr als ein Fünftel der Erwerbstätigen in Deutschland sind Teilzeitbeschäftigte. Seit Anfang 2001 ist das Gesetz über Teilzeitarbeit und befristete Arbeitsverträge (Teilzeit- und Befristungsgesetz) in Kraft. Es hat die weitere Ausweitung der Teilzeit und die Schaffung neuer Stellen zum Ziel, um dadurch die allgemeine Beschäftigungssituation und somit die individuellen Partizipationschancen zu verbessern. Zu erwarten ist daher, dass die Zahl der Teilzeitbeschäftigten weiter steigen wird. Die große Mehrheit der Teilzeitbeschäftigten wird nach wie vor von Frauen gestellt, denn eine wichtige Funktion von Teilzeitarbeitsverhältnissen ist es, die Vereinbarkeit von Familie und Beruf zu ermöglichen. Dies wird auch so bleiben, solange insbesondere in Westdeutschland keine bedarfsgerechten öffentlichen Kinderbetreuungsangebote bereitgestellt werden. Die Ergebnisse weisen zudem auf das künftige Potential der Teilzeit als Alternative zur Arbeitslosigkeit hin. Die vom DIW Berlin in Zusammenarbeit mit Infratest Sozialforschung erhobene Längsschnittsstudie Sozio-oekonomisches Panel (SOEP) zeigt, dass Frauen nicht nur häufiger als Männer, sondern auch länger in Teilzeit arbeiten, vor allem in Westdeutschland. Freilich wird deutlich, dass bei Männern der Teilzeitbeschäftigung häufiger der Einstieg in ein weiteres Beschäftigungsverhältnis folgt als bei Frauen. Männer haben auch die besseren Karrierechancen, also größere Übergangswahrscheinlichkeiten in die Vollzeit. Teilzeitbeschäftigung fördert zwar die Partizipationschancen der Frauen im Arbeitsmarkt, kann aber deren Erwerbsbeteiligung in Form einer Vollzeitbeschäftigung nicht nachhaltig verbessern. Teilzeit unterstützt also faktisch das Fortbestehen geschlechtsspezifischer Erwerbsmuster, wobei auch große Ost-West-Unterschiede sichtbar werden. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/42900/05-7-2.pdf SOEP D 3424 Tucci, Ingrid and Wagner, Gert G. 2005 Einkommensarmut bei Zuwanderern überdurchschnittlich gestiegen - Armut häufig mit Unterversorgung in anderen Lebensbereichen gekoppelt Wochenbericht des DIW Berlin 72 5 79-86 Journal Article longitudinal 05 DIW Weekly Report income and poverty, migration "Die ökonomische Lage der in Deutschland lebenden Bevölkerung mit Migrationshintergrund hat sich von 1998 bis 2003 relativ verschlechtert; unter den Zuwanderern ist der Anteil der in Armut Lebenden überdurchschnittlich gestiegen. Besonders hoch ist die Betroffenheit von Armut bei den Älteren und Jüngeren. Das vom DIW Berlin in Zusammenarbeit mit Infratest Sozialforschung erhobene Soziooekonomische Panel (SOEP) zeigt, dass im Jahre 2003 28 % der Kinder und Jugendlichen mit Migrationshintergrund im Alter von unter 20 Jahren in prekären Verhältnissen lebten. Bei den gleichaltrigen ""Einheimischen"" waren es deutlich weniger, wenngleich mit 20 % ebenfalls beunruhigend hoch. Vor allem Bürger türkischer Herkunft sind häufig von Einkommensarmut betroffen. Dagegen leben Migranten aus westlichen Ländern vergleichsweise selten in Armut. Eingebürgerte schneiden im Durchschnitt besser ab als Ausländer; dies gilt allerdings nicht für Aussiedler. Überaus bedenklich ist, dass Armut für viele Zuwanderer nicht ein vorübergehendes Phänomen, sondern ein dauerhafter Zustand ist.

Im Fokus steht hier der Vergleich der Situation zwischen Müttern türkischer und sonstiger nichtdeutscher Herkunft sowie ost- und westdeutschen Müttern. Türkische Mütter weisen die geringste Erwerbsbeteiligung auf; ostdeutsche Mütter sind dagegen am häufigsten nach der Geburt ihres ersten Kindes wieder berufstätig und üben auch in höherem Umfang Vollzeittätigkeiten aus. Beide Gruppen sind mit ihrem Leben weniger zufrieden als westdeutsche und sonstige ausländische Mütter. Die Geburt weiterer Kinder stellt offenbar für Mütter - unabhängig von ihrer Nationalität - eine so große Herausforderung dar, dass es oft zu einem Rückgang der Lebenszufriedenheit in den Jahren nach der Geburt führt. Insgesamt hängt die Lebenszufriedenheit deutlich mit der Höhe des Haushaltseinkommens und - damit verbunden - dem Ausmaß der finanziellen Sorgen zusammen. Diese Faktoren erklären jedoch höchstens die Hälfte der Unterschiede der Lebenszufriedenheit zwischen ausländischen und westdeutschen Müttern. Offenbar spielen weitere Belastungen eine erhebliche Rolle. Dieses Ergebnis ist für die Integrationspolitik im Hinblick auf Zuwanderer und ihre Kinder in Deutschland wichtig. Offenbar ist ein stärkeres Augenmerk auf die für Familien kritische Zeit vor und nach der Geburt eines Kindes zu richten. Maßnahmen, die sich positiv auf die Lebenszufriedenheit auswirken, werden die Chancen zur gesellschaftlichen Eingliederung von Zuwanderern und deren Kindern erhöhen." http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/42858/05-4-2.pdf SOEP D 3422 Frick, Joachim R., Krause, Peter and al., et 2005 Zur langfristigen Entwicklung von Einkommen und Armut in Deutschland Wochenbericht des DIW Berlin 72 4 59-68 Journal Article longitudinal 05 DIW Weekly Report income and poverty, transfer systems Seit dem Jahr 2000 ist in Deutschland ein neuerlicher Anstieg sowohl der Ungleichheit der Einkommen als auch der relativen Einkommensarmut zu beobachten. Dies geht übereinstimmend aus Berichten hervor, die in jüngster Zeit auf Grundlage unterschiedlicher Einkommenskonzepte und Datenquellen veröffentlicht wurden. Viele der Einzelergebnisse basieren auf Daten des vom DIW Berlin in Zusammenarbeit mit Infratest Sozialforschung erhobenen Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP). Bei einer Vertiefung und Gesamtbetrachtung dieser Ergebnisse können noch weitere Erkenntnisse gewonnen werden. Besonders hervorzuheben ist, dass die Zunahme von Ungleichheit und Armut seit Mitte der 80er Jahre keineswegs linear - im Sinne eines säkularen Trends in Richtung stetig steigender Ungleichheit - verlief. Vielmehr lassen sich im Gleichklang mit der konjunkturellen Entwicklung und insbesondere der Entwicklung der Arbeitslosigkeit Phasen zu- und auch abnehmender Ungleichheit beobachten. Im Zuge einer sinkenden Arbeitslosigkeit dürfte auch wieder mit abnehmender Ungleichheit und weniger Armut zu rechnen sein. Freilich funktioniert das sozialstaatliche Transfer- und Umverteilungssystem in Zeiten hoher Arbeitslosigkeit nach wie vor. So ist die Reduktion der Ungleichheit von am Markt erzielten Einkommen weiterhin hoch, in Ostdeutschland deutlich stärker als in Westdeutschland. Insofern kann von einem weitreichenden Abbau des Sozialstaats nicht die Rede sein. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/42857/05-4-1.pdf SOEP D 3421 Holst, Elke 2005 Frauen in Führungspositionen - Massiver Nachholbedarf bei großen Unternehmen und Arbeitgeberverbänden Wochenbericht des DIW Berlin 72 3 49-56 Journal Article longitudinal 05 DIW Weekly Report gender, international comparison, labour "Frauen sind in Europa zu einem erheblich geringeren Maße in Führungspositionen tätig als Männer; im europäischen Durchschnitt haben sie nur 10 % der Sitze in den höchsten Entscheidungsgremien der jeweils 50 größten börsennotierten Unternehmen inne.

Deutschland liegt hier mit 10 % im Mittelfeld. Eine stärkere Differenzierung für Unternehmen und Interessenverbände zeigt allerdings ein noch ungünstigeres Bild: In den Vorständen der 87 größten Kapitalgesellschaften der Old Economy stellen Frauen im Durchschnitt beispielsweise nur 1% und in Aufsichtsräten 8% der Sitze. In den Interessenvertretungen von Arbeitnehmern und den Berufsverbänden sieht die Situation mit einem Anteil von einem Fünftel bis einem Viertel besser aus, auch wenn man von einer Gleichstellung noch weit entfernt ist.

Minijobs bestanden vermutlich zum größten Teil bereits vorher als kleine Beschäftigungsverhältnisse am Rande des Arbeitsmarktes. Der seither registrierte Zuwachs kann somit zum erheblichen Teil auf Substitution aus bisheriger Beschäftigung zurückgeführt werden. Die deutliche Ausweitung kleiner Beschäftigungsverhältnisse von 2000 bis 2003 geht zwar mit einer zunehmenden Erwerbsintegration von Frauen einher, diese beschränkt sich jedoch vielfach auf weniger stabile und niedrig entlohnte Arbeitsplätze. Arbeitslose haben bislang nicht unmittelbar von den Minijobs profitieren können; zwar stiegen die Chancen von Arbeitslosen, einen solchen Job zu bekommen, doch gleichzeitig sind bei geringem wirtschaftlichen Wachstum ihre Chancen gesunken, eine reguläre Teilzeit- oder Vollzeitstelle zu erhalten." http://www.diw-berlin.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.92628.de/04-34-1.pdf SOEP D 3244 Bronchetti, Erin Todd and Sullivan, Dennis H. 2004 Income packages of households with children: a cross-national correlation analysis Socio-Economic Review (Special Issue: Twenty years of research on income inequality, poverty and redistribution in the developed world) 2 2 315-339 Journal Article cross-sectional 03 Refereed Journal LIS GB 3243 González, Libertad 2004 Single mothers and work Socio-Economic Review (Special Issue: Twenty years of research on income inequality, poverty and redistribution in the developed world) 2 2 285-313 Journal Article cross-sectional 03 Refereed Journal LIS GB 3242 Allegrezza, Serge, Heinrich, Georges and Jesuit, David 2004 Poverty and income inequality in Luxembourg and the 'Grande Région' in comparative perspective Socio-Economic Review (Special Issue: Twenty years of research on income inequality, poverty and redistribution in the developed world) 2 2 263-283 Journal Article cross-sectional 03 Refereed Journal LIS GB 3241 Wieting, Frauke 2004 Private Haushalte in prekären Lebenslagen - Die Abgrenzung prekärer Lebenslagen in der Sozialpolitik und ihre Abbildung im Sozioökonomischen Panel (Diplomarbeit) Gießen Justus-Liebig-Universität Gießen, Prof. f.

Haushalte in Bezug auf Erbschaften und Schenkungen. Ausgangspunkt sind Querschnittsregressionen, die den Vermögensbestand in 2002 durch das Lebenszeiteinkommen und in der Vergangenheit erhaltene Erbschaften bzw. Schenkungen erklären. Es werden Verzögerungen in der Anpassung der Vermögensbestände an unerwartete Erbschaften bzw. Schenkungen und unterschiedliche Liquiditätsgrade des übertragenen Vermögens berücksichtigt. Die Untersuchung betrachtet die Altersgruppe der über 30- bis unter 50-jährigen Personen bzw. Haushaltsvorstände. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Sparneigung aus erhaltenen Transfers hoch ist. Dies gilt auch für Transfers, deren Erhalt bereits mindestens 5 oder 10 Jahre zurückliegt, so dass Anpassungsverzögerungen im Ausgabeverhalten keine wesentliche Rolle mehr spielen können. Für Transfers liquider Vermögensarten werden statistisch weniger signifikante und teilweise auch geringere Effekte gemessen als für Transfers illiquiderer Vermögensarten (Immobilien und Betriebsvermögen). Personen bzw. Haushalte mit geringeren Ausgangsvermögen weisen überraschenderweise eine höhere Sparneigung auf Transfers auf als Haushalte mit höheren Ausgangsvermögen. Die Ergebnisse lassen vermuten, dass intergenerationale Transfers wegen der hohen Sparneigung und der zu erwartenden zunehmenden Erbschaftsvolumina erheblichen Einfluss auf die Vermögensbildung der jüngeren Generationen haben werden. Die Unterschiede in der Sparneigung begünstigen eher eine Nivellierung als eine Konzentration der Vermögensverteilung. Summary We analyse the saving behaviour of German individuals and households between the ages of 30 and 50 with respect to inheritances and transfers inter vivos, based on recent data from the German Socio-economic Panel. In cross-section regression analysis current wealth holdings are explained by past life-cycle income and transfers received. The approach accounts for the problem of possible time lags in the adaptation of consumption to unexpected intergenerational transfers. Differences in the propensities to save with respect to highly liquid and less liquid wealth categories are taken into consideration as well. The results indicate a high propensity to save intergenerational transfers. The saving ratio does not decline substantially for transfers received 5 or even 10 years ago. Therefore delays in the reaction of private consumption to transfers obviously do not play a major role. Surprisingly the propensity to save intergenerational transfers is higher for households with lower initial wealth, proxied by their past life-cycle income. Our conclusion is that intergenerational transfers are likely to play a very important role in future private wealth accumulation because – in the long term strongly growing – intergenerational transfers tend to be saved to a high extent. Differences in saving propensities tend to equalise the distribution of wealth across households. ftp://ftp.zew.de/pub/zew-docs/dp/dp0428.pdf SOEP D 3233 Tatsiramos, Konstantinos 2009 Geographic labour mobility and unemployment insurance in Europe Journal of Population Economics 22 2 267–283 2004: IZA DP No. 1253.

Optimistic women have a higher proclivity to be businesswomen. Businesswomen select self- over paid employment when they are young or old, less educated, married or with under-age children. There are no significant native-immigrant differences. However, among immigrant women those who are in Germany 6 to 12 years are more likely to go into self-employment. These results show that women in Germany who are in their prime working age, educated, not married, and with no under-age children are less likely to choose self-employment, as it is not viewed as a channel to achieving higher socio-economic standing.

Rheinisch-Westfälisches Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung (RWI) Report cross-sectional 30 Discussion Paper migration Subjective data, first- and second-generation immigrants, ethnic Germans This paper investigates whether and to what extent immigrants in Germany are integrated into German society by utilizing a variety of qualitative information and subjective data collected in the 1999 wave of the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP).To this end, leisure-time activities and attitudes of native Germans, ethnic Germans and foreign immigrants of different generations are compared. The empirical results suggest that conditional on observable characteristics the activities and attitudes of foreign immigrants from both generations differ much more from those of native Germans than the activities/attitudes of ethnic Germans. Furthermore, the attitudes of second-generation immigrants tend to be characterized by a larger degree of fatalism, pessimism and self-doubt than those of all other groups, although their activities and participation in societal life resemble more those of native Germans than those of their parents generation. http://ftp.iza.org/dp1213.pdf, http://www.rwi-essen.de/media/content/pages/publikationen/rwi-discussion-papers/DP_04_018.pdf SOEP GB 3227 Schwarze, Johannes 2004 Living Conditions of Children and Parental Well-Being - Evidence from German Data on Life Satisfaction IZA DP No. 1200 Bonn Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) Report cross-sectional 30 Discussion Paper consumption / assets / habitation, family and networks, subjective indicators http://ftp.iza.org/dp1200.pdf SOEP GB 3226 Boes, Stefan and Winkelmann, Rainer 2004 Income and Happiness: New Results from Generalized Threshold and Sequential Models IZA DP No. 1175 Bonn Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) 2004: Socioeconomic Institute WP No. 0407.

Berlin: German Institute for Economic Research 10.1002/jae.1081 Journal Article longitudinal 02 SSCI Journal labour, income and poverty This paper argues that the assumption of strict exogeneity, which is usually invoked in estimating models of state dependence with unobserved heterogeneity, is violated in the poverty context as important variables determining contemporaneous poverty status, in particular employment status and household composition, are likely to be influenced by past poverty outcomes. Therefore, a model of state dependence is developed that explicitly allows for possible feedback effects from past poverty to future employment and household composition outcomes. Empirical results based on data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP) suggest that there are indeed such feedback effects and that failure to take them into account may lead to biased estimates of the state dependence effect. http://ftp.iza.org/dp1138.pdf, http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/41894/dp429.pdf SOEP GB 3221 Górecki, Brunon and Wisniewski, Marian 2003 Wage mobility CHER Document No. 14 Differdange CEPS/INSTEAD Report longitudinal 30 Discussion Paper http://www.ceps.lu/publications/recherche_avancee.cfm?keyword=&Author=&yeartype=0&yearpub=&publi_in=1§ion=&categorie=18&publi_ext=1&query=1&npp=20# CHER GB 3220 Matter Schaffner, Eva 2004 Der Stress des Pendelns lohnt sich nicht: Das Paradox der langen Arbeitswege Neue Züricher Zeitung, 08.09.2004 x Manuscript citation of SOEP results 52 Speech Manuscript D 3219 Berthoud, Richard 2004 Patterns of poverty across Europe Bristol Policy Press Book cross-sectional 11 Book ECHP GB 3218 Berthoud, Richard 2004 Area Variations in Income, and in Poverty, across the EU EPAG Working Papers No. 2004-50 Colchester University of Essex Report cross-sectional 30 Discussion Paper ECHP GB 3217 Math, Antoine 2004 The Impact of Pension Reforms on Older People's Income: a Comparative View G.

Langfristig angelegte Reformen wie die der Alterssicherung können aber nur dann erfolgreich sein, wenn sie von den Bürgern akzeptiert werden. Deshalb sollten die Wünsche der Bürger bei der Gestaltung der Sozialpolitik stärker als bisher berücksichtigt werden. Auf Grundlage der Daten des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP) werden in diesem Bericht Meinungen der Bevölkerung zur Alterssicherung analysiert. Dabei zeigt sich, dass die Zufriedenheit der jüngeren Generation im Laufe der letzten zehn Jahre deutlich gesunken ist. Allerdings wird der staatlich organisierten Alterssicherung immer noch ein hohes Vertrauen entgegengebracht, und staatliche Zuschüsse zu einer privaten Altersvorsorge erreichen ihr Ziel nur bedingt. Sie kommen vor allem denen zugute, die auch ohne staatliche Anreize zusätzliche Vorsorge betreiben. Ein nicht unerheblicher Teil der Bevölkerung fühlt sich dazu gar nicht in der Lage und kann deshalb nicht von den Zuschüssen profitieren. http://www.diw-berlin.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.92611.de/04-22-1.pdf SOEP D 3184 Schupp, Jürgen and Wagner, Gert G. 2004 Vertrauen in Deutschland: Großes Misstrauen gegenüber Institutionen Wochenbericht des DIW Berlin 71 21 311-313 Journal Article cross-sectional 05 DIW Weekly Report SOEP D 3183 Holst, Elke and Schupp, Jürgen 2004 Gestiegene berufliche Mobilität geprägt von Frauen und Jüngeren Wochenbericht des DIW Berlin 71 21 303-310 Journal Article longitudinal 05 DIW Weekly Report migration, income and poverty, labour, gender In Deutschland hat die Flexibilität auf dem Arbeitsmarkt in den vergangenen zehn Jahren deutlich zugenommen. Nach Berechnungen des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP) stieg von 1992 bis 2002 die Zahl jener, die innerhalb eines Jahres eine Arbeitsstelle neu angetreten haben, um mehr als 30 % auf knapp 6,3 Mill. Personen. Bei einer insgesamt sinkenden Erwerbstätigenzahl geht diese Dynamik vor allem auf Frauen und Jüngere zurück. Während die Erwerbsorientierung von Frauen stieg, zogen sich Männer vielfach vorzeitig vom Arbeitsmarkt zurück und nahmen dabei arbeitsmarktpolitische Maßnahmen in Anspruch, die zur Reduzierung des Arbeitsangebots dienen. In Ostdeutschland ist die Erwerbsorientierung der Frauen nach wie vor deutlich höher als in Westdeutschland. Zugleich sinkt deren Bedeutung auf dem Arbeitsmarkt vor allem aufgrund der Abwanderung jüngerer Frauen. Für eine erfolgreiche Stellensuche spielte die Vermittlung über das Arbeitsamt eine vergleichsweise geringe Rolle. Von der Stelle erfahren hatten die Bewerberinnen und Bewerber vor allem von Freunden und Verwandten. http://www.diw-berlin.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.92608.de/04-21-1.pdf SOEP D 3182 Schupp, Jürgen and Künemund, Harald 2004 Private Versorgung und Betreuung von Pflegebedürftigen in Deutschland Wochenbericht des DIW Berlin 71 20 289-294 Journal Article longitudinal 05 DIW Weekly Report labour, miscellaneous Nach den Ergebnissen des vom DIW Berlin in Zusammenarbeit mit Infratest Sozialforschung erhobenen Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP) beteiligten sich im Jahre 2003 rund 5 % aller erwachsenen Männer und knapp 8 % aller Frauen an der Versorgung Pflegebedürftiger. Der zeitliche Umfang an einem durchschnittlichen Wochentag betrug bei pflegenden Männern 2,5 Stunden und bei Frauen rund 3 Stunden.

Vorgesehen ist eine Neugliederung der Streitkräfte in Eingreif-, Stabilisierungs- und Unterstützungsverbände. In diesem Zusammenhang stellt sich erneut die Frage nach der Beibehaltung der Wehrpflicht. Diese ist aus ökonomischer Sicht nicht sinnvoll, denn eine Berufsarmee stellt das gleiche Niveau an äußerer Sicherheit zu geringeren volkswirtschaftlichen Kosten bereit. Darüber hinaus verletzt die Wehrpflicht in ihrer derzeitigen Ausgestaltung wesentliche Prinzipien ökonomischer Gerechtigkeit. Auch unter ordnungspolitischen Gesichtspunkten ist die Abschaffung der Wehrpflicht überfällig, da sie zwei elementaren Prinzipien der Marktwirtschaft widerspricht, nämlich dem der Vertragsfreiheit und dem der Freiwilligkeit von Austauschbeziehungen. Ebenso sprechen heute die gesellschaftlichen und sicherheitspolitischen Veränderungen für eine Berufsarmee. http://www.diw-berlin.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.92671.de/04-4-1.pdf SOEP D 3180 Saborowski, Christian, Schupp, Jürgen and Wagner, Gert G. 2004 Urlaub in Deutschland: Erwerbstätige nutzen ihren Urlaubsanspruch oftmals nicht aus Wochenbericht des DIW Berlin 71 15 171-176 Journal Article longitudinal 05 DIW Weekly Report labour, miscellaneous "Deutschland wird immer wieder als ""Freizeitpark"" bezeichnet, in dem die Arbeitszeiten kurz, der Urlaub dagegen lang ist. Im internationalen Vergleich werden für inländische abhängig Beschäftigte nur 1 397 Stunden pro Jahr statistisch ausgewiesen, in den USA und Japan dagegen 1 829 bzw. 1 840 Stunden. Besonders in der verarbeitenden Industrie liegt Deutschland beim Jahresurlaub und bei bezahlten Feiertagen vorn. Die vom DIW Berlin zusammen mit Infratest Sozialforschung erhobenen Daten des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP) zeigen freilich, dass 30 % der abhängig Beschäftigten ihren Jahresurlaub 1999 nicht vollständig ausgenutzt haben. Von den etwa 936 Mill. Tagen Urlaubsanspruch, die sich aus den Angaben der Befragten ergeben, wurden nur rund 870 Mill. Tage effektiv genommen. Von 28 Tagen Urlaubsanspruch nahmen die Befragten im Durchschnitt nur 26 Tage. Da unter denjenigen, die einen verkürzten Jahresurlaub nehmen, besonders viele jüngeren Alters sind, die Überstunden machen und hoch qualifiziert sind, kann man annehmen, dass sie die zusätzlichen Arbeitstage als Investition in ihr Humankapital bzw. ihre Karriere betrachten. Selbständige nahmen im Jahre 1999 durchschnittlich nur 14 Urlaubstage. Hingegen schöpften Beamte, darunter auch Beamte in höherer Stellung, ihren Jahresurlaub (im Schnitt 30 Urlaubstage) nach eigenen Angaben weitgehend aus." http://www.diw-berlin.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.92599.de/04-15-1.pdf SOEP D 3179 Hunt, Jennifer 2004 Are Migrants More Skilled than Non-Migrants?

Zur Bewältigung der Beschäftigungskrise erscheint die Etablierung eines Niedriglohnsektors zwingend geboten. Die Umsetzung dieser Forderung ist jedoch schwierig, da sich nicht viele geeignete Maßnahmen dafür anbieten. Zwar ist das Steuer- und Transfersystem im Niedriglohnbereich leistungsfeindlich, doch erweisen sich monetäre Anreize als fiskalisch sehr teuer und wenig erfolgreich zur Mobilisierung von Beschäftigung. Ein großes Potential wird jedoch bei den haushaltsnahen Dienstleistungen gesehen. Die Reduktion der Sozialhilfe wird als nicht umsetzbar angesehen und stattdessen das Workfare-Prinzip thematisiert, das die Gewährung von Sozialleistungen an die Aufnahme einer Erwerbstätigkeit knüpft. Der Beitrag schließt mit einer Bewertung der gegenwärtigen Arbeitsmarktpolitik. D 2911 Schramm, Florian and Schlese, Michael 2007 The Role of Dismissal Protection in Personnel Management. From the Point of View of Personnel Managers Management revue 18 3 322-349 Journal Article mentions of the SOEP study 03 Refereed Journal Dismissal Protection, Perception, Personnel Manager This article concerns itself with the effects of dismissal protection on personnel management behaviour within companies. The basis of the empirical analysis is 41 expert interviews conducted in 2006 as well as information available from a standardised survey of 750 personnel managers which was carried out in 2007. As a whole the effects of dismissal protection on personnel management are perceived by personnel managers to be insignificant. In general, employment law is considered to be a necessary framework which is, for the most part, non-obstructive yet at the same time nonsupportive. Negative judgements relating to dismissal protection referred to its possible prohibitive effects (in the context of new-hirings), company-internal effects (in the context of confrontations within the company) and preventive effects (in the context of the dismissal of personnel). The prohibitive effect in the form of the non-hiring of new employees or the turning to other forms of employment rather than full time is rather weak. The decision to avoid hiring new employees is dependent upon the personnel manager’s perception of employment law and not so much on an economical framework or the characteristics of the organisation. The role of dismissal protection within the company is also quite limited. In particular, having been employed by the company for a long time is considered very important for business management reasons. The judgements of those responsible for personnel are not to be explained with clear situational variables such as the business situation of the company or the development of the company’s number of employees. There seems to be, rather, quite a lot of leeway regarding the understanding of Employment law and that this is dependent on the personnel managers’ competence in this area as well as other factors. These findings are also relevant in light of the announced harmonisation with the European Labour Court (Green Paper labour law).

Neben einer Aussetzung bzw. Reduktion der Rentenanpassung und einer Anhebung der Regelaltersgrenze besteht auch die Möglichkeit, die Vorschriften zur Besteuerung von Renten neu zu gestalten. Ohnehin hat im März 2002 das Bundesverfassungsgericht (BVerfG) eine Angleichung der Besteuerung von GRV-Renten und Pensionen gefordert. Die ""Sachverständigenkommission zur Neuordnung der Altersbesteuerung"" schlägt als Einstieg eine Bemessungsgrundlage von 50 % aller Renteneinkünfte vor; langfristig soll eine Vollbesteuerung erreicht werden. Jegliche Rentenreform setzt eine möglichst detaillierte Bestandsaufnahme der Einkommenssituation der aktuellen Rentnergeneration in Deutschland voraus. Empirische Analysen auf Basis der repräsentativen Stichprobe des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP) zeigen, dass die verfügbaren Einkommen der älteren Bevölkerung im Durchschnitt nur wenig unter jenen der erwerbsfähigen Jahrgänge liegen. Insbesondere GRV-Rentner mit sonstigem Einkommen (aus Kapitalerträgen, Vermietung und Verpachtung usw.) profitieren von der niedrigen Besteuerung ihrer Sozialversicherungsrenten aufgrund des derzeit steuerfreien geldwerten Vorteils aus Arbeitgeberbeiträgen und Bundeszuschuss. Modellrechnungen zu den Auswirkungen einer sachgerechten Anhebung der steuerlichen Bemessungsgrundlage von GRV-Renten verdeutlichen, dass aufgrund des geltenden Grundfreibetrages nur wenige gut verdienende alte Menschen von einer systematisch gebotenen Besteuerung aller Alterseinkommen tatsächlich betroffen sein würden. Ein Aussetzen der Rentenanpassung träfe hingegen auch Rentner mit geringen Renten." http://www.diw-berlin.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.92489.de/03-12-2.pdf SOEP D 2883 Holst, Elke and Schupp, Jürgen 2003 Sicherheit des Arbeitsplatzes häufig mit Interessenvertretung im Betrieb verbunden - Wechselwirkungen zwischen Interessenvertretung und Strukturmerkmalen abhängig Beschäftigter Wochenbericht des DIW Berlin 70 11 176-181 Journal Article longitudinal 05 DIW Weekly Report labour Im Jahre 2001 waren von den rund 30 Mill. abhängig Beschäftigten in Deutschland knapp 18 Mill. in Betrieben tätig, die über einen Betriebs- oder Personalrat verfügten. Zum großen Teil handelt es sich hier um mittlere und große Betriebe. Dagegen ist in kleineren Betrieben mit bis zu 20 Beschäftigten eine Interessenvertretung eher selten. In Betrieben, die keine organisierte Interessenvertretung der Arbeitnehmer aufweisen, ist nach Ergebnissen des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP) die Dauer der Betriebszugehörigkeit geringer und der Anteil von geringfügig Beschäftigten und von Frauen höher. In Ostdeutschland arbeiten prozentual weniger Beschäftigte in einem Betrieb mit einer Interessenvertretung als in Westdeutschland. Dies wird vor allem durch die Unterschiede im verarbeitenden Gewerbe und in der Bauwirtschaft geprägt. http://www.diw-berlin.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.92486.de/03-11-2.pdf SOEP D 2882 Brenke, Karl 2003 Der Staat soll's machen - Einstellungen der Ostdeutschen zur Marktwirtschaft Ulrich Eith, Beate Rosenzweig Die Deutsche Einheit.

Bonn: Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) 10.3790/vjh.72.1.51 Journal Article longitudinal 06 DIW Quarterly labour, income and poverty, transfer systems Das heutige System der sozialen Mindestsicherung verhindert in Deutschland die Ausbildung eines Niedriglohnsektors. Dies ist eine wesentliche Ursache für die hohe Arbeitslosigkeit Geringqualifizierter. Dieser Beitrag stellt zwei häufig genannte Maßnahmen zur Überwindung sozialstaatlicher Beschäftigungsschwellen einander gegenüber. Am Beispiel eines aktuellen, symptomorientierten Vorschlags für Lohnsubventionen durch Absenkung der Arbeitnehmerbeiträge zur Sozialversicherung auf niedrige Einkommen wird gezeigt, dass Förderung kleiner Markteinkommen durch Kombilöhne die Erwerbsbeteiligung nur unwesentlich erhöht. Zugleich können Mitnahmeeffekte entstehen, mit denen unerwünschte Arbeitszeitwirkungen und hohe fiskalische Kosten verbunden sind. Ein alternativer, ursachenorientierter Ansatz ist die Senkung des sozialen Leistungsniveaus durch Workfare. Eine Abschätzung des Einkommenspotentials von Transferbeziehern auf Grundlage des Soziooekonomischen Panels veranschaulicht, dass sich mit der Verpflichtung erwerbsfähiger Sozialhilfeempfänger zu sozial nützlicher Arbeit bei unverändertem Niveau der sozialen Mindestsicherung deutlich positive Beschäftigungseffekte erzielen lassen. http://www.atypon-link.com/DH/doi/pdf/10.3790/vjh.72.1.51 SOEP D 2820 Eurostat 2002 Das Leben von Frauen und Männern in Europa - Ein statistisches Porträt (Daten aus den Jahren 1980-2000) Luxemburg Amt für amtliche Veröffentlichungen der Europäischen Gemeinschaften Report cross-sectional 33 Other Grey Literature ECHP D 2819 Strengmann-Kuhn, Wolfgang 2001 Erwerbsverläufe in Deutschland, Großbritannien und Schweden Peter A.

Es wird argumentiert, dass eine Politik temporärer Arbeits- und Aufenthaltsgenehmigungen negative Auswirkungen auf die Investitionen von Immigranten in ihr ökonomisches und soziales Humankapital hat, was sich wiederum nachteilig auf die soziale und ökonomische Integration auswirkt. Auch die Bildung von Humankapital bei den Kindern der Immigranten wird durch temporäre Aufenthalte negativ beeinflusst. Der empirische Befund stützt diese Hypothese und unterstreicht damit die Bedeutung einer sorgfältigen Abwägung möglicher langfristiger Effekte bereits in der Phase des Entwurfs von Migrationspolitiken. http://www.atypon-link.com/DH/doi/pdfplus/10.3790/vjh.71.2.272 CNEF D 2816 Schmidt, Christoph M. 2002 Sozialstaat und Migration - Empirische Evidenz und wirtschaftspolitische Implikationen für Deutschland Vierteljahrshefte zur Wirtschaftsforschung 71 2 173-186 10.3790/vjh.71.2.173 Journal Article citation of SOEP results 06 DIW Quarterly D 2815 Gangl, Markus 2002 Unemployment Benefits as a Search Subsidy: New Evidence on Duration and Wage Effects of Unemployment Insurance Discussion Paper FS I 02-208 Berlin Wissenschaftszentrum Berlin für Sozialforschung (WZB) Report longitudinal 30 Discussion Paper SOEP GB 2814 Gangl, Markus 2002 Welfare State Stabilization of Employment Careers: Unemployment Benefits and Job Histories in the United States and West Germany Discussion Paper FS I 02-207 Berlin Wissenschaftszentrum Berlin für Sozialforschung (WZB) Report longitudinal 30 Discussion Paper SOEP GB 2813 Lucas, Richard E., Clark, Andrew E., Georgellis, Yannis and Diener, Ed 2003 Reexamining Adaptation and the Set Point Model of Happiness: Reactions to Changes in Marital Status Journal of Personality and Social Psychology 84 3 527-539 2002: DELTA Working Paper No. 2002-8.

In den zukunftsträchtigen Hochtechnologiebereichen waren Frauen an der Spitze noch seltener anzutreffen als in den traditionellen Branchen. Die besten Chancen für Frauen bietet der Dienstleistungssektor einschließlich des öffentlichen Dienstes. Männer in höheren Positionen sind meistens verheiratet und leben in Familien, bei den Frauen trifft dies nur für etwa die Hälfte zu. Der durchschnittliche Monatsnettoverdienst für Vollzeitbeschäftigte in höheren Positionen betrug im Jahre 2000 für Männer 4 800 DM (2 454 Euro), er lag bei Frauen mit 3 180 DM (1 626 Euro) weit darunter. Angestellte in Führungspositionen verdienten netto 6 000 DM (3 068 Euro) bzw. 3 550 DM (1 815 Euro). In Ostdeutschland sind die Unterschiede geringer: Männer in höheren Positionen verdienten hier ""nur"" etwa 1,2-mal so viel wie Frauen. Das Durchschnittsgehalt der höheren Angestellten und Beamten lag dabei im Jahre 2000 mit 3 050 DM (1 559 Euro) netto deutlich unter dem Niveau Westdeutschlands (4 500 DM bzw. 2 301 Euro). Insgesamt besteht ein erheblicher Nachholbedarf bezüglich des Anteils und der Verdienste von Frauen in höheren Positionen. Zur Verbesserung der beruflichen Situation der Frauen hat sich die Bundesregierung im Rahmen des Amsterdamer Vertrages verpflichtet. Vor dem Hintergrund eines wachsenden Fachkräftemangels wird auch die Privatwirtschaft noch erhebliche Anstrengungen unternehmen müssen."

Bonn: Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) 10.3790/vjh.71.2.215 Journal Article longitudinal 06 DIW Quarterly migration, transfer systems Dieser Beitrag untersucht die fiskalischen Gesamtwirkungen der Zuwanderung nach Deutschland mit Hilfe der demographisch basierten langfristigen Budgetmethode der Generationenbilanzierung. Zunächst wird für den Anfangsbestand der Einheimischen und Zuwanderer der Gegenwartswert aller individuell über den Lebenszyklus geleisteten Steuern und empfangenen Transfers abgeschätzt. Auf dieser Grundlage wird unter Berücksichtigung der marginalen Bereitstellungskosten öffentlicher Güter gezeigt, dass Einwanderung die öffentlichen Haushalte intertemporal direkt entlastet, wenn künftige Zuwanderer die fiskalische Leistungsfähigkeit der ansässigen Bevölkerung zügig erreichen. Darüber hinaus entstehen indirekte Vorteile für die einheimische Bevölkerung, weil die gegenwärtige Finanzpolitik langfristig nicht tragfähig ist. Eine Verbreiterung der Besteuerungsbasis durch Zuwanderung kann die zum Erhalt der staatlichen Zahlungsfähigkeit erforderliche Erhöhung der individuellen Finanzierungsbeiträge zum Staatshaushalt spürbar reduzieren. http://www.atypon-link.com/DH/doi/pdf/10.3790/vjh.71.2.199 SOEP D 2727 Bauer, Thomas K. 2002 Migration, Sozialstaat und Zuwanderungspolitik IZA DP No. 505 Bonn Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) Report citation of SOEP results 30 Discussion Paper http://ftp.iza.org/dp505.pdf D 2726 Frijters, Paul, Haisken-DeNew, John P. and Shields, Michael A. 2002 Individual Rationality and Learning: Welfare Expectations in East Germany Post-Reunification IZA DP No. 498 Bonn Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) Report longitudinal 30 Discussion Paper income and poverty, miscellaneous http://ftp.iza.org/dp498.pdf SOEP GB 2725 Frijters, Paul, Haisken-DeNew, John P. and Shields, Michael A. 2002 The Value of Reunification in Germany: An Analysis of Changes in Life Satisfaction IZA DP No. 419 Bonn Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) Report longitudinal 30 Discussion Paper subjective indicators, miscellaneous http://ftp.iza.org/dp419.pdf SOEP GB 2724 Frölich, Markus and Puhani, Patrick A. 2002 Immigration and Heterogeneous Labor in Western Germany - A Labor Market Classification Based on Nonparametric Estimation CEPR Discussion Paper No. 3158 London Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR) "2002: IZA DP No. 418.

So nimmt in Westdeutschland die Wahrscheinlichkeit des Besuchs einer Kindertageseinrichtung mit steigendem Einkommen der Eltern zu. In Ostdeutschland trifft dieser Einkommenszusammenhang auf die Inanspruchnahme einer ganztägigen Betreuung zu. Die wenigen Ganztagsplätze in Westdeutschland werden vorrangig von Akademikerinnen für ihre Kinder in Anspruch genommen. Lediglich bei der informellen Betreuung, vor allem durch Großmütter, gibt es keine großen Unterschiede zwischen Ost- und Westdeutschland. Dies zeigen die Ergebnisse des vom DIW Berlin zusammen mit Infratest Sozialforschung erhobenen Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP). Sie sind von hoher sozialpolitischer Relevanz, da Kindertageseinrichtungen insbesondere für Kinder aus bildungsfernen Elternhäusern und finanziell schlechter gestellten Familien eine wichtige Bildungs- und Betreuungsfunktion haben. Deshalb sollten verstärkt finanzielle Ressourcen in diesen Bereich gelenkt werden.

Anlass für die vorliegende Untersuchung war eine aktuell günstige Konstellation in der Fragestellung und Datenverfügbarkeit des SOEPs, die es erlaubt, Kinderkosten und Einkommensdiskriminierung simultan zu schätzen. Unter typisierenden biographischen Annahmen wurden folgende Ergebnisse erhalten: Die Bruttostundenlöhne von Frauen liegen bei gleicher Humankapitalausstattung um 8,6 % unter denen der Männer. Der progressive Einkommensteuertarif mindert für Nettoeinkommen den Umfang der Diskriminierung um ca. 30 %. Die Kosten dafür, zwei Kinder bis zu deren 17. Lebensjahr zu versorgen und zu betreuen, betragen ca. 200 000 Euro. Für Elternpaare, die für Kinderbetreuung paritätisch auf Erwerbsbeteiligung verzichten, entstehen weitere Opportunitätskosten von 15 000 bis 18 000 Euro. http://www.atypon-link.com/DH/doi/pdfplus/10.3790/vjh.71.1.114 SOEP D 2654 Büchel, Felix and Spieß, C.

Basierend auf den Daten des SOEP (1998) und zusätzlichen Informationen der amtlichen Statistik auf Kreisebene betrachten wir mit multinomialen Logit-Modellen die Wahrscheinlichkeit der Ausübung einer Teilzeit- oder geringfügigen Erwerbstätigkeit sowie einer Vollzeiterwerbstätigkeit alternativ zu einer Nichterwerbstätigkeit. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass eine bessere regionale Kindergartenversorgung die Ausübung einer reduzierten Erwerbstätigkeit begünstigt; dagegen spielt die Krippenversorgung eine untergeordnete Rolle. Ein höherer Anteil an Ganztagesplätzen wirkt sich positiv sowohl auf die Ausübung einer eingeschränkten als auch einer Vollzeiterwerbstätigkeit aus. Bei den Kontrollvariablen zeigen sich – bezüglich der Erwerbsentscheidung der Mutter – signifikante Effekte für das Alter des jüngsten Kindes, die Anzahl der Kinder im Kindergartenalter, das Alter der Mutter, den finanziellen Hintergrund sowie die Humankapitalausstattung der Mutter; allerdings wirken diese Einflussgrößen zum Teil sehr unterschiedlich auf die beiden unterschiedenen Formen der Erwerbstätigkeit. Aus familien- und arbeitsmarktpolitischer Sicht sind die Ergebnisse insofern von Bedeutung, als sie fundierte empirische Hinweise darauf geben, dass eine verstärkte Förderung von Kindertageseinrichtungen, insbesondere auch das Angebot von Ganztagsplätzen, die Erwerbstätigkeit von Müttern signifikant begünstigt. Dies ist ein Zusammenhang, der anhand von repräsentativen mikroökonometrischen Methoden so bisher nicht nachgewiesen werden konnte." http://www.atypon-link.com/DH/doi/pdfplus/10.3790/vjh.71.1.95 SOEP D 2653 Beblo, Miriam and Wolf, Elke 2002 Die Folgekosten von Erwerbsunterbrechungen Vierteljahrshefte zur Wirtschaftsforschung 71 1 83-94 10.3790/vjh.71.1.83 Journal Article longitudinal 06 DIW Quarterly labour Erwerbsunterbrechungen führen langfristig zu geringeren Einkommen.

London: Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR)" 10.1086/323935 Journal Article 02 SSCI Journal income and poverty, gender, miscellaneous The gender wage gap in East Germany has narrowed by 10 percentage points in transition, but women have experienced much more severe employment difficulties than men. Using the German Socio-Economic Panel for 1990–94, I show that on balance women have lost relative to men. Almost half the relative wage gain is due to exits from employment of the low skilled, who are disproportionately women. The female employment decline is not primarily voluntary: more than half the gender gap in the hazard rate from employment reflects a general fall in demand for low-skilled workers. Reduced child care plays no role. http://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.44962.de/dp156.pdf CNEF GB 2572 Hunt, Jennifer and Burda, Michael C. 2001 From Reunification to Economic Integration: Productivity and the Labor Market in East Germany Brookings Papers on Economic Activity 2 1-72 Journal Article longitudinal 02 SSCI Journal SOEP GB 2571 Jenkins, Stephen P. and Schluter, Christian 2003 Why are Child Poverty Rates Higher in Britain than in Germany?

Dies gilt auch im Vergleich zu Bewohnern anderer deutscher Metropolen. Wie die Daten des vom DIW Berlin erhobenen Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP) zeigen, gilt das große Interesse nicht allein für ""hochkulturelle"" Angebote, sondern auch für ""populärkulturelle"". Betrug die Quote aller Berliner, die in ihrer Freizeit Angebote der Hochkultur in Anspruch nehmen, im Jahre 1995 bereits 68 %, so stieg sie auf 75 % im Jahre 1998. In jenem Jahr gingen etwa 2,2 Mill. Berliner ins Theater, in Konzerte und Ausstellungen, nach 2. Mill. im Jahre 1995. Die Berliner besuchten auch häufiger Kinos, Diskotheken sowie Pop- und Jazzkonzerte. Hier nahm die Besucherzahl im Untersuchungszeitraum von 1,9 Mill. auf 2,2 Mill. zu. Bemerkenswert ist, dass die Berliner auch unabhängig von wichtigen sozialen Merkmalen wie Einkommen und Bildung das Kulturangebot intensiver nutzen als andere Großstädter. Hier macht sich also ein spezifischer ""Berlin-Effekt"" bemerkbar. Offenbar fühlen sich Kulturinteressierte angezogen, Berlin als Lebensmittelpunkt zu wählen."

Bonn: Institute for the Study of Labour (IZA)" 10.1093/oep/gpf048 Journal Article longitudinal 02 SSCI Journal family and networks, education, income and poverty The way parents take influence on the education of their children is a crucial aspect of intergenerational mobility. Unlike in the UK or in the US, in Germany an important decision about which educational track to follow is made at a relatively early stage: after primary school, at the age of ten. In this paper, we use micro data to analyse the association between parents’ education and profession, and secondary track school choice and subsequent career prospects of the child. Our analysis covers the last six decades. We demonstrate that parental background is strongly related to the secondary track choice of the child, and subsequent educational achievements. We find a slight convergence for individuals from different parental background over the last decades. We also find a positive trend for females to follow higher secondary school tracks, keeping parental background constant. The association between parental class and educational choice translates into substantial earnings differentials later in life. http://ftp.iza.org/dp367.pdf CNEF GB 2521 Hinrichs, Wilhelm 2001 Wohnen in Deutschland - wie reaktionsfähig ist der Sozialstaat Gegenwartskunde 50 4 521-546 Journal Article longitudinal 04 Other Journal SOEP D 2520 Viebrok, Holger and Himmelreicher, Ralf K. 2001 Verteilungspolitische Aspekte vermehrter privater Altersvorsorge ZeS-Arbeitspapier 17/2001 Bremen Centre for Social Policy Research (ZeS) Report longitudinal 30 Discussion Paper SOEP D 2519 Schmidtke, Corinna 2001 Der Mittelstand im Wettbewerb um Fachkräfte - Institutionenökonomisch fundiertes Personalmarketing als Lösungsansatz Institut für Mittelstandsforschung Jahrbuch zur Mittelstandsforschung 1/2001 (Schriften zur Mittelstandsforschung Nr. 90 NF) Bonn IfM 1-24 Book Section longitudinal 20 Book Section SOEP D 2518 Castronova, Edward J., Kayser, Hilke, Frick, Joachim R. and Wagner, Gert G. 2001 Immigrants, Natives and Social Assistance: Comparable Take-Up Under Comparable Circumstances International Migration Review (IMR) 35 3 726-748 Journal Article longitudinal 02 SSCI Journal SOEP GB 2517 Soro-Bonmati, Asunción 2000 Labour market transitions of youth in Germany and Italy International Journal of Manpower 21 3-4 206-226 Journal Article longitudinal 02 SSCI Journal CNEF GB 2516 Fabig, Holger 2001 Einkommensdynamik und soziale Mobilität Statistisches Bundesamt Familien und Haushalte in Deutschland (Forum Bundesstatistik Bd. 38) Wiesbaden Statistisches Bundesamt 104-128 Book Section longitudinal 20 Book Section SOEP D 2515 Eberharter, Veronika V. 1999 Weibliche Haushaltsvorstände - Ein Phänomen sich ändernder Haushaltsstrukturen oder Neudefinition tradierter Rollenbilder?
