Furthermore, this study aims to give guidelines to applied researchers interested in taking a distributional ...

We aim to structure the discourse, show kinships of different concepts, and contextualize these concepts. For the twentieth century we identify three major phases that describe interactions ...

We investigate the relationship between characteristics of an occupation-specific environment and the decision of employees to start an own business. A relatively high occupation-specific unemployment risk and high earnings risk are conducive to opt for self-employment. Also, occupations that are characterized by high self-employment rates foster entrepreneurial choice among their employees. The results ...

However, recent studies indicate that the beneficial effects of couple relationships on health vary substantially according to the characteristics of the relationship and of the partners involved.

The determinants of domain satisfactions could be differently evaluated depending on the aspect of life considered, which would lead to different implications for public policies. To test this hypothesis, using the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP), we analyse the effect of different economic and non-economic factors on satisfaction with financial situation, job and health status. The main results ...

The digit ratio (2D:4D) is considered a proxy for testosterone exposure in utero, and there has been a recent surge of studies testing whether 2D:4D is associated with economic preferences. Although the results are not conclusive, previous studies have reported statistically significant correlations between 2D:4D and risk taking, altruism, positive reciprocity, negative reciprocity and trust. Many “researcher ...

Prenatal androgens have organizational effects on brain and endocrine system development, which may have a partial impact on economic decisions. Numerous studies have investigated the relationship between prenatal testosterone and financial risk taking, yet results remain inconclusive. We suspect that this is due to difficulty in capturing risk preferences with expected utility based tasks. Prospect ...

Befragungsdaten deuten auf einen mehrheitlichen Wunsch hin, der Staat solle die Einkommensunterschiede in Deutschland verringern. Besonders im vergangenen Jahrzehnt hat sich die subjektive Umverteilungspräferenz weiter erhöht. Der verstärkte Wunsch nach sozialem Ausgleich vollzog sich losgelöst von der tatsächlichen Entwicklung der Verteilungsverhältnisse, die sich seit 2005 kaum verändert haben. Zwar ...

Die Mittelschicht in Deutschland ist seit Jahren stabil und steht wirtschaftlich gut da. Dennoch ist eine gewisse Unzufriedenheit zu spüren. Gesellschaftliche Veränderungen wie die Modernisierung der Arbeitswelt, die Globalisierung der Wirtschaft oder die Individualisierung der Lebensverhältnisse – all das scheint viele Menschen immer mehr zu verunsichern. Doch wer ist die Mitte eigentlich? Um diese ...
