    The Role of Time Preferences in Educational Decision Making

    Speaker: Songül Tolan
    Ort: Eleanor-Dulles-Raum
    DIW Berlin im Quartier 110
    Room 5.2.010
    Mohrenstraße 58
    10117 Berlin
    Zeit: 12:30 - 13:30

    We evaluate the role of time preferences in educational decision making, when deviating from the standard-neoclassical assumption of exponential discounting. Based on a dynamic structural life-cycle model we analyse the importance of the discount factor for policy simulations. This is done by considering two relevant policies: (1.) a change in the state grant for students (BaföG) as a way to ...

    Room 3.3.002C
    Mohrenstraße 58
    10117 Berlin
    Zeit: 12:30 - 13:30

    Empirical research that uses subjective data relies heavily on the validity of the information reported by survey participants. However, situation-specific factors, such as the atmosphere in which the interview takes place, may cause considerable differences in responses. While some researchers of subjective well-being have, in fact, discussed the role of survey factors and acknowledged that these ...

    Room 5.2.010
    Mohrenstraße 58
    10117 Berlin
    Zeit: 12:30 - 13:30

    Social and economic policies are likely to affect individuals not only by the change in financial incentives, but also by a change in the behavior of their social or work environment. It is our goal to determine social interaction effects in the context of employment behavior in Germany. In particular, we analyze whether the labor supply decisions of mothers with young children depend on the ...

    Refuting the Cliché of the Distrustful Manager

    Speaker: Sabine Hommelhoff (Universtät of Erlangen-Nürnberg)
    Ort: Eleanor-Dulles-Raum
    DIW Berlin im Quartier 110
    Room 5.2.010
    Mohrenstraße 58
    10117 Berlin
    Zeit: 12:30 - 13:30

    Although trust is fundamental to social and organizational functioning, media reports and business guidebooks often portray managers as generally distrusting. This study puts the cliché of the distrustful manager to the test. Both self-report and behavioral data from the German Socio-Economic Panel refute this cliché. Individuals in managerial positions neither show a lower level of ...

    Mohrenstraße 58
    10117 Berlin
    Zeit: 12:30 - 13:30

    We introduce subjective expectations about the labour market into a job search model. We show how biases in expectations over the wage distribution affect optimal search intensity and the duration of unemployment. Optimistic individuals search more but reject more offers, with an ambiguous effect on unemployment duration. Based on extensive survey data from Germany, we confirm previous evidence ...

    'What else are you concerned about?' – Exploiting free text for quantitative social sciences

    Speaker: Martin Brümmer und Julia Rohrer (Universität Leipzig)
    Ort: Gustav-Schmoller-Raum

    Room 3.3.002A
    Mohrenstraße 58
    10117 Berlin
    Zeit: 11:00 - 12:00

    We analyzed 35,000 statements from 14,000 SOEP members that decided to share their worries beyond ticking off preset items by using the unstructured response format. Making free text accessible for quantitative analysis imposes specific challenges that are partly unique to the language and peculiarities of the respective text format. In our talk, we will outline the required processing steps for ...

    Mohrenstraße 58
    10117 Berlin
    Zeit: 12:30 - 13:30

    In this paper, I estimate the impact of the German child-care pension benefit (Kindererziehungszeiten) on household savings, exploiting the pension reform 1992 as a natural experiment based on the Income and Expenditure Survey (EVS). The child-care pension benefits are designed as a compensation for employment interruptions due to child-birth and they increase a mother’s pension wealth. In ...

    Protection or selection? New insights into the effect of children on union dissolution in Germany

    Speaker: Thorsten Schneider (Universität Leipzig)
    Ort: Eleanor-Dulles-Raum
    DIW Berlin im Quartier 110
    Room 5.2.010
    Mohrenstraße 58
    10117 Berlin
    Zeit: 12:30 - 13:30

    Research on divorce or union dissolution demonstrates that the presence of children, the number of children and/or the age of the youngest child is negatively correlated with the risk of breaking up. One line of argument is that children stabilize unions. Different mechanisms might be at work such as stronger feelings of obligation, stronger economic dependencies of mothers due to family specific ...

    In Germany students from a non-academic family background are still underrepresented in universities. Even though access to higher education has increased, students from non-academic family backgrounds are still twenty percentage points less likely to enroll in university compared to their peers from academic backgrounds. Since in Germany no tuition fees need to be paid, financial constraints are ...
