Millionaires under the microscope: Data gap on top wealth holders closed; wealth concentration higher than presumed

Individuals with assets in the millions of euros have been underrepresented in population surveys and accordingly little has been known about them. As a result, the full extent of wealth concentration in Germany was unknown. To close the existing data gap, the Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) inte-grated a special sample in which individuals with high assets are overrepresented. New calculations using this ...

A Novel Sampling Strategy for Surveying High Net-Worth Individuals—A Pretest Application Using the Socio-Economic Panel

High-wealth individuals are typically underrepresented or completely missing in population surveys. The lack of comprehensive national registers on high-wealth individuals in many countries challenged previous attempts to remedy this under-representation. In a novel research design, we draw on public data on the shareholding structures of companies as a sampling frame. Our design builds on the empirical ...

Shocks and the Labor Market: Five Empirical Essays in Economics (Dissertation)

The Scarring Effects of Firm Shutdowns on Workers’ Wages: A Distributional Perspective

To shed light on the differential impact of firm shutdowns across the distribution of workers, we adopt the wage determination framework of Bonhomme, Lamadon, and Manresa (2019) to uncover workers’ unobserved types.

Numerous articles have looked at the connection between adverse birth outcomes (low birth weight or preterm birth) and an individual's later socioeconomic status. To this day very few studies have been conducted that specifically address how delivery and adverse birth outcomes affect families and the homes where children grow up. In this study, I use data from the German Socioeconomic Panel (SOEP) ...

This paper analyzes the relation between maternal mental health during pregnancy and birth outcomes of the child. In particular, we analyze the relationship between maternal mental health during pregnancy and the ...

Chapter 24: Pre- and perinatal influences on intergenerational transmission of inequality

Many researchers argue that children in poorer households are at a higher risk of adverse conditions in-utero and shortly after birth, which in turn could affect their later-life outcomes negatively. In this article, we present a summary of recent articles that have contributed to a better understanding of the relevance of prenatal and perinatal outcomes on the process of intergenerational transmission ...
