Historical and Cross-Country Differences in Life Satisfaction Across Retirement in Germany and Switzerland From 2000 to 2019

Objectives: Recent trends, such as changes in pension systems or cohort differences in individual resources, have altered the face of retirement transitions. Little is known about how these trends have affected older people’s life satisfaction around retirement age in the past decades. In this study, we investigated how levels and changes in life satisfaction before and after retirement changed over ...

Germany and the United States in coronavirus distress: internal versus external labour market flexibility

We analyse measures of internal flexibility taken to safeguard employment during the Coronavirus Crisis in comparison to the Great Recession. Cyclical working-time reductions are again a major factor in safeguarding employment. Whereas during the Great Recession all working-time instruments contributed to the reduction in working time, short-time work now accounts for almost all of the working-time ...

Gender, Unemployment, and Subjective Well-Being: Why Do Women Suffer Less from Unemployment than Men?

Previous studies have shown that women suffer less from unemployment than men in terms of subjective well-being. However, there is little research that aims to test possible explanations for this gender-specific reaction. We distinguish two different ways in which unemployment reduces well-being, namely the financial and non-financial effects of becoming unemployed. Gender differences in both types ...

Competition and moral behavior: A meta-analysis of forty-five crowd-sourced experimental designs

Does competition affect moral behavior? This fundamental question has been debated among leading scholars for centuries, and more recently, it has been tested in experimental studies yielding a body of rather inconclusive empirical evidence. A potential source of ambivalent empirical results on the same hypothesis is design heterogeneity—variation in true effect sizes across various reasonable experimental ...

Wie blicken Journalistinnen und Journalisten auf die Welt? Eine vergleichende empirische Analyse von Persönlichkeitsmerkmalen und politischen Einstellungen auf Basis des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP)

Wie sehr unterscheiden sich Journalistinnen und Journalisten von der Bevölkerung, über die sie berichten? Welche Einstellungen und politischen Meinungen herrschen in der Berufsgruppe vor, welche Persönlichkeitsmerkmale, wie z. B. Risikofreude, weisen sie auf? Diese Fragen untersuchen wir für Deutschland auf Basis von Daten des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP). Wir nutzen diese große repräsentative ...

Epidemic–economic complexity of COVID-19 policies across skill groups and geographies

The COVID-19 pandemic has threatened public health and socio-economic activities across societal groups and geographies. We analyse the complex interplay between epidemic and economic factors using a structural panel vector autoregressive (PVAR) approach for Danish municipalities. Findings indicate that the pandemic shock and associated public health interventions led to significant increases in unemployment ...

The replacement rate that maintains income satisfaction through retirement: The question of income-dependence

Benchmark replacement rates are commonly used to set up saving plans or to assess retirement preparedness. An open question is whether high earners need the same replacement rate as low earners. In this paper, I apply the GAESE framework, an approach known from the equivalence scale literature, to assess how the replacement rate that maintains income satisfaction through retirement relates to income ...

Die Messung von Bildung bei Migrantinnen und Migranten in Umfragen

Da das höchste erreichte Bildungsniveau in deutschen Umfragen gewöhnlich durch spezifisch deutsche Schul- und Ausbildungsabschlüsse erfasst wird, sind die entsprechenden Fragebogenitems für Personen mit ausländischen Abschlüssen oftmals schwer zu beantworten. Dieser Beitrag gibt einen Überblick über verschiedene Ansätze zur Messung von Bildung bei Personen mit ausländischen Bildungsabschlüssen, insbes. ...
