Our study tests these hypotheses with data from the German Socio-Economic Panel, which contains information on musical practice during childhood as well as detailed parental background characteristics. In ...

    [World] Cobb-Douglas (CD thereafter) aggregate production function is deemed too restrictive. Estimation of the CD technology with constant coefficients indeed provided very little flexibility in explaining the production process across the countries. Even if the parameters of the CD production function are allowed to vary across predefined regions (parts of the world), they are ad hoc ...

    Are we architects of our own happiness? The importance of family background for well-being

    Speaker: Christoph Wunder (Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg)

    Modern societies and economies are built on the promise that individuals are basically free to choose actions to achieve their greatest happiness. This implies that individuals are the architects of their own happiness (or well-being). Based on data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP), this paper analyzes to which extent individuals' well-being is determined not by their own actions but by ...

    The effect of unemployment insurance on exit from employment

    Speaker: Conny Wunsch, University St. Gallen
    Ort: Eleanor-Dulles-Raum

    Room 5.2.010
    Mohrenstraße 58
    10117 Berlin
    Zeit: 13:15-14:45

    Abstract: We investigate whether changes in the generosity of unemployment insurance (UI) affect exit from employment via UI. We exploit a recent reform of German UI that drastically reduced maximum benefit periods for workers aged 45 or older. Economic theory suggests that less generous UI makes employed workers more eager to keep their job, implying a reduction in unemployment entry after the ...

    AbstractThis paper makes use of Hierarchical Bayes Models to model and estimate spatial health effects. We focus on Germany and combine rich individual-level household panel data with administrative county-level information to estimate spatial county-level health dependencies. As dependent variable, we use the generic, continuous, and quasi-objective SF12 health measure. Our findings reveal strong ...

    Abstract: This paper empirically investigates the relevance of liquidity constraints and excess sensitivity in intertemporal household consumption. Using a pseudo panel that has been constructed on rich German consumption survey data, we estimate the consumption responses to permanent and transitory income shocks, as well as the presence of excess sensitivity to anticipated income changes.

    Abstract: We establish the existence of strong media slant against foreign owners. Using a unique data set from nation-wide distributed quality newspapers in Germany, we find that a foreign firm that downsizes in Germany receives almost twice as much attention than a domestic firm. This quantitative slant is accompanied by qualitative slant; newspapers report in a more negative way about ...
