We analyze this potential heterogeneity of returns based on panel data from Germany that provide a unique measure for individuals’ adoption of new technology at the workplace.

Tax progressivity is central in public and political debates when questions of vertical equity are raised. Applied, structural research demands a simple way to capture it. A power function approximation delivers one parameter that captures the residual income elasticity — a summary measure of progressivity. This approximation is accurate, tractable, and interpretable, and hence immensely popular. The ...

Based on precise geographical coordinates, we link a representative longitudinal household panel to all wind turbines in Germany and exploit their staggered rollout over two decades for identification. We do not find evidence of negative effects on general, mental, ...

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 ...

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 ...
