An interdisciplinary approach to the spatial analysis of survey data and the usage of social science and spatial science research data is a proper way to analyse questions of spatial justice and spatial inequality in more detail. The required technical linkage entails a number of hurdles such as data privacy, data access, reproducibility, and technical knowledge. The ’Geolinking Service SoRa’ is being ...

Therefore, a standardized assessment instrument is introduced ...

To address them, we leverage employment relations theory and data from the German Socio-Economic Panel. We use mixed effects ...

Using long running panel data spanning at least 15 years from Australia, Germany and the UK, this study investigates longitudinal age–wellbeing trajectories by the Big Five personality traits. We estimate within person (fixed effects) models separately for each country and for low/high trait subgroups, producing 30 distinct trajectories. Across all subgroups, we found the same ageing pattern: a decline ...
In 2001, Germany abolished public occupational disability insurance (ODI)—the second tier of its public DI system—for cohorts born after 1960. Using administrative data, we first document that, in the long run, overall DI inflows declined by roughly one-third. Second, using representative survey data, we document at best modest ODI insurance take-up responses in the private individual, risk-rated market, ...
