In this paper, we combine Census data with death records to examine the relationship between income inequality and race-specific mortality across 5,565 municipalities in Brazil. We find that overall income inequality is strongly associated with Non-White mortality but not with White mortality. To understand this disparity, we decompose the Gini coefficient and find that the racial income gap accounts ...
SOEP researcher Cristóbal Moya participated in a large international study on the replicability of social and behavioral science research, which was published in the prestigious journal Nature. As part of the SCORE project, 274 findings from 164 scholarly articles were independently evaluated. Approximately half of the findings could be replicated, although the measured effects were often smaller ...

This paper analyses determinants of pass-through for Germany’s 2022 temporary fuel discount at its implementation and subsequent termination. Based on a unique dataset of fuel station characteristics and prices, we employ a two-stage Regression Discontinuity in Time (RDiT) methodology to estimate spatial passthrough variation. Our findings indicate that horizontal and vertical market structures exert ...
