In the Shadow of Brothers: Unintended Impacts of a School Entry Policy on Migrant Girls

Siblings are the ultimate peers, deeply shaping one another’s development. Do these influences vary with a family’s cultural background?

Exploiting exogenous variation in older siblings’ achievement...

How Do My Earnings Compare? Pay Referents and Just Earnings

Comparisons are crucial in shaping evaluations of one’s own position. Following this notion, we investigated the role of historical, financial, partner, occupational, and regional pay referents in predicting the just gross hourly earnings in a representative sample of German workers. Looking at this broad range of pay referents, we find that higher reference earnings were generally associated with ...

Earnings Trajectories After Divorce: The Legacies of the Earner Model During Marriage

Divorce marks the legal endpoint of a marital union. While divorce is increasingly seen as a ‘clean break’, the past marital history of the couple may nevertheless shape their present conditions. In particular, there may be a legacy of a highly gendered division of labour during marriage that may affect the ex-spouses’ earning trajectories beyond the date of divorce.
