FGZ Datenmonitor 2025#1: Spaltet die AfD die Gesellschaft? Eine Regionalanalyse gruppenbezogener Sympathien auf Basis des German Social Cohesion Panel (SCP)

Eine aktuelle Analyse des German Social Cohesion Panel (SCP) untersucht den Zusammenhang zwischen regionalen Erfolgen der AfD und Sympathien gegenüber gesellschaftlichen Gruppen. Dabei zeigt sich deutlich: In Wahlkreisen mit hohem AfD-Stimmenanteil unterscheiden Menschen in ihren Sympathiebewertungen stärker zwischen verschiedenen kulturellen, regionalen oder sozio-demographischen Gruppen. Ein starkes ...

A dataset of study program availability in German higher education between 1971 and 1996

Educational systems are dynamic. They shape human capital, technological and societal progress, and also economic growth. Higher education, in particular, fosters innovation, with varying fields of study contributing differently to this process. Yet, despite its importance, no dataset has previously documented the evolution of academic fields across higher education institutions in a specific country. ...

Between integration and return: Ukrainian refugees' wishes to stay in Germany

Zwischen Integration und Rückkehr: Die Bleibewünsche ukrainischer Geflüchteter in Deutschland

Familiäre Einbindung und soziale Kontakte von Menschen aus Syrien und Eritrea in Deutschland

Bisher wurde noch wenig untersucht, wie das Ausmaß der familiären Einbindung neu zugewanderter Menschen den Aufbau sozialer Kontakte zwischen ihnen und Menschen der Aufnahmegesellschaft beeinflusst. Dabei besteht die Möglichkeit, dass zugewanderte Menschen weniger angewiesen auf sozialen Austausch mit Menschen der Aufnahmegesellschaft sind, sobald enge Familienangehörige mit in Deutschland leben. Bisherige ...

Estimation of Linear Models from Coarsened Observations: A Method of Moments Approach

In the last few decades, the study of ordinal data in which the variable of interest is not exactly observed but only known to be in a specific ordinal category has become important. In Psychometrics such variables are analysed under the heading of item response models (IRM). In Econometrics, subjective well-being (SWB) and self-assessed health (SAH) studies, and in marketing research, Ordered Probit, ...

Exploring integration and migration dynamics: the research potentials of a large-scale longitudinal household study of refugees in Germany

Forced migration has intensified in the 21st century, driven by conflicts, persecution, and political instability in regions such as the Middle East, Afghanistan, the Horn of Africa, South-East Asia, Latin America and, most recently, Ukraine. Germany has become a primary destination for refugees within the European Union and one of the largest among the OECD countries. The IAB-BAMF-SOEP Refugee Survey, ...

Fieldwork Monitoring in Practice: Insights from 17 Large-scale Social Science Surveys in Germany

This study provides a synopsis of the current fieldwork monitoring practices of large-scale surveys in Germany. Based on the results of a standardized questionnaire, the study summarizes fieldwork monitoring indicators used and fieldwork measures carried out by 17 large-scale social sciences surveys in Germany. Our descriptive results reveal that a common set of fieldwork indicators and measures exist ...

From Concurrent to Push-To-Web Mixed-Mode: Experimental Design Change in the German Social Cohesion Panel

Research shows that concurrent and sequential self-administered mixed-mode designs both have advantages and disadvantages in terms of panel survey recruitment and maintenance. Since concurrent mixed-mode designs usually achieve higher initial response rates at lower bias than sequential mixed mode designs, the former may be ideal for panel recruitment. However, concurrent designs produce a high share ...

Gender Effect on relative concerns

This thesis investigates whether there is a gender difference on the relative income effect, evaluated using subjective well-being data as a proxy for individual utility. The data set we use is a cross section of SOEP (the Socio-Economic Panel) of Germany collected during the last decade (2010-2019). We estimate subjective well-being regressions in which we control for the absolute level of income, ...
