When pension wealth is included in household wealth, the Gini coefficient falls from 0.889 to 0.700 in the United States and from 0.755 to 0.508 in ...

And second, whether there are any differences in post-unemployment earnings of recalled workers across different occupations. The article contributes ...

An intergenerational assimilation model is tested empirically on household survey data and validated against registry data provided by the Italian Embassy in Germany. Although we confirm substantial disparities between educational achievements of immigrants and natives, we find that the children of Italian immigrants ...

The Preservation of Historic Districts - Is It Worth It?

Such regulation may improve the quality of life but does so by reducing housing productivity—that is, the efficiency with which inputs (land and non-land) are converted into housing services. Using a unique panel dataset for English cities and an instrumental variable approach, I find ...

"Für viele klingt die Idee erst einmal sympathisch": Interview mit Jürgen Schupp

Herr Schupp, wie groß ist die Ablehnung, beziehungsweise die Befürwortung eines bedingungslosen Grundeinkommens in Deutschland?
