Refugees have limited health care entitlements during the asylum process. In February 2024, the maximum length of this exclusion period was increased from 18 to 36 months. This increase may double the actual waiting time, which is currently already more than one year, as data from the Socio-Economic Panel show. This particularly affects refugees with a low level of education and little knowledge of ...

Bis zum Abschluss ihres Asylverfahrens haben Geflüchtete nur einen eingeschränkten Anspruch auf Gesundheitsleistungen. Ende Februar 2024 wurde die maximale Dauer dieser Einschränkung von 18 auf 36 Monate verlängert. Diese Änderung dürfte die tatsächliche Wartezeit, die – wie Daten des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP) zeigen – derzeit bei über einem Jahr liegt, verdoppeln. Besonders betroffen sind ...

We evaluate the distributional effects of a minimum wage introduction based on a data set with a moderate sample size but a large number of potential covariates. Therefore, the selection of relevant control variables at each distributional threshold is crucial to test hypotheses about the impact of the treatment. To this end, we use the post-double selection logistic distribution regression approach ...

This paper studies the long-term consequences of communism on present-day freedom of expression values in two settings – East Germany and the states linked to the sphere of influence of the former USSR. Exploiting the natural experiment of German separation and later reunification, we show that living under communism has had lasting effects on free speech opinions. While free speech salience has increased ...

Die Erwerbsbiografie hat einen wesentlichen Einfluss darauf, wie der Renteneintritt die Sterblichkeit beeinflusst. Männer aus manuellen Routinejobs profitieren davon, mit 63 Jahren in den Ruhestand zu gehen. Für Männer und Frauen, die aus gut bezahlten Jobs mit 65 Jahren ihr Berufsleben beenden, steigt hingegen die Sterblichkeit kurz nach der Verrentung.

In current immigration debates ethnic prejudice is often expressed in a subtle manner, which conceals its xenophobic content. However, previous research has only insufficiently examined the specific features that make certain ethnically prejudicial statements subtler, i.e., less readily identifiable as xenophobic, than others. The current study employs an experimental factorial survey design and assesses ...

We propose an extension of the standard occupational choice model to analyze the life satisfaction of senior entrepreneurs as compared to paid employees and particularly retirees in Germany. The analysis identifies income and health status as main factors that shape the relationship between occupational status and life satisfaction. Senior entrepreneurs enjoy higher levels of life satisfaction than ...

I estimate the effect of retirement on mortality, exploiting two discontinuities at age-based eligibility thresholds for pension claiming in Germany. The analysis is based on unique social security records that document the age at death for the universe of participants in the German public pension system. Using variation from bunching of retirements at age-based eligibility thresholds, I demonstrate ...

This study explores the relationship between artificial intelligence (AI) and workers’ wellbeing and mental health using longitudinal survey data from Germany (2000-2020). We construct a measure of individual exposure to AI technology based on the occupation in which workers in our sample were first employed and explore an event study design and a difference-in-differences approach to compare AI-exposed ...

We analyse in what way co-determination affects non-compliance with the German minimum wage, which was introduced in 2015. The Works Constitution Act (WCA), the law regulating co-determination at the plant level, provides works councils with indirect means to ensure compliance with the statutory minimum wage. Based on this legal situation, our theoretical model predicts that non-compliance is less ...
