This study quantifies gender-specific differences in retirement income in Germany, Denmark, and France. We show that the “gender pension gap” in Germany is higher than in France and much higher than in Denmark. This ranking is similar to the ranking in the gender pay gap, where Germany has also the highest gender difference. The authors also investigate gender-specific differences in health, i.e. the ...

Die Corona-Pandemie löst eine verheerende Wirtschaftskrise aus, die auch am deutschen Arbeitsmarkt gravierende Spuren in Form von Kurzarbeit und Arbeitslosigkeit hinterlässt. Im Gegensatz zur Finanzkrise 2008/2009, in der Männer stärker vom Beschäftigungsrückgang betroffen waren, trifft es in der aktuellen Krise Wirtschaftssektoren wie das Gastgewerbe, in denen Frauen stärker repräsentiert sind. Außerdem ...

Diskussionspapiere 1985 / 2021
This study analyzes the causal effect of an increase in the retirement age on health. We exploit a sizable cohort-specific pension reform for women using two complementary empirical approaches - a Regression Discontinuity Design and a Difference-in- Differences approach. The analysis is based on official records covering all individuals insured by the public health system in Germany and including all ...

Diskussionspapiere 1785 / 2019
Case and Deaton (2015) document that, since 1998, midlife mortality rates are increasing for white non-Hispanics in the US. This trend is driven by deaths from drug overdoses, suicides, and alcohol-related diseases, termed as deaths of despair, and by the subgroup of low-educated individuals. In contrast, average mortality for middle-aged men and women continued to decrease in several other high-income ...

Diskussionspapiere 1741 / 2018
We evaluate the labor market and distributional effects of an increase in the early retirement age (ERA) from 60 to 63 for women. We use a regression discontinuity design which exploits the immediate increase in the ERA between women born in 1951 and 1952. The analysis is based on the German micro census which includes about 370,000 households per year. We focus on heterogeneous labor market effects ...

Demografie bedingt steigende Mehrfinanzierungsbedarfe in der Sozialen Pflegeversicherung (SPV), die aus einem ab dem Jahr 2040 konstanten Beitragssatz erwachsen, könnten dauerhaft aus den Überschüssen eines Fonds kapitalgedeckt finanziert werden – eine langfristig positive Rendite-Zins-Differenz vorausgesetzt. Der Kapitalaufbau erfolgt über die Ausgabe von Bundesanleihen, die nach 20 Jahren einmalig ...

In this paper, we use unique health record data that cover outpatient care and the associated costs to quantify the health care costs of a sizable increase in the retirement age in Germany. For the identification, we exploit a sizable cohort-specific pension reform which abolished an early retirement program for all women born after 1951. Our results show that health care costs significantly increase ...

This study analyzes the causal effect of an increase in the retirement age on official health diagnoses. We exploit a sizable cohort-specific pension reform for women using a Difference-in-Differences approach. The analysis is based on official records covering all individuals insured by the public health system in Germany and including all certified diagnoses by practitioners. This enables us to gain ...

We evaluate the labor market and distributional effects of an increase in the early retirement age (ERA) from 60 to 63 for women born after 1951. We use a regression discontinuity design which exploits the strong increase in the ERA between women born in 1951 and 1952. The analysis is based on the German microcensus which includes about 370,000 households per year. We focus on heterogeneous labor market ...
