Current developments in the labor income distribution shape the business cycle and the transmission of fiscal and monetary policy measures. During economic crises, timely and well targeted economic policy becomes essential but the volatility of the (labor) income distribution is particularly high.

Despite millions of war widows worldwide, little is known about the economic consequences of being widowed by war. We use life history data from West Germany to show that war widowhood increased women’s employment immediately after World War II but led to lower employment rates later in life. War widows, therefore, carried a double burden of employment and childcare while their children were young...

People have a need to form and maintain fulfilling social contact, yet they differ with respect to with whom they satisfy the need and how quickly this need is deprived or overly satiated. These social dynamics across relationships and across time are theoretically delineated in the current article. Furthermore, we developed a questionnaire to measure individual differences in three aspects of such ...

Dies erfordert, dass Umfrageforschende von Einheitslösungen zu einer Datenerhebungsstrategie übergehen, die die Kommunikationsgewohnheiten, Fähigkeiten und...

To ensure continued survey participation and data quality, the survey landscape must adapt to the changing social reality, especially with regard to mobility and digitalization. This requires survey researchers to move from one-size-fits-all solutions to a data collection strategy that takes into account people's communication habits, abilities and preferences. For several decades, computer...

Individuen sind in soziale Kontexte eingebettet, diesem Umstand versuchen bereits viele großangelegte, themenübergreifende sozialwissenschaftliche Befragungen gerecht zu werden – dies gelingt aber bislang nur bedingt.
Das Vorhaben dieser Studie besteht darin, die bestehenden Datenerfassungsstrategien – Umfragedesigns für multiple Akteure (MA) und Fragebogenmodule für egozentrierte Netzwerke (ECN)...

Individuals are embedded in social contexts: although many large-scale, cross-thematic social science surveys already attempt to do justice to this fact, so far research has only been partially successful.
The aim of this study is to supplement and improve the existing data collection strategies - survey designs for multiple actors (MA) and questionnaire modules for egocentric networks (ECN) -...

Inexpensive and time-efficient web surveys have increasingly replaced survey interviews, especially conducted in person. Even well-known social surveys, such as the European Social Survey, follow this trend. However, web surveys suffer from low response rates and frequently struggle to assure that the data are of high quality. New advances in communication technology and artificial intelligence...

We investigate if and how adverse life events – early widowhood, divorce, disability, job loss - trigger informal insurance responses in the form of intervivos gifts. Drawing from Dutch register data, we construct comprehensive panels comprising individuals undergoing such shocks in the period 2011-2017, and we analyse the patterns of gift receipt surrounding these events. We run separate event...
