Navigating the well-being effects of monetary policy: Evidence from the European Central Bank

This paper assesses whether monetary policy announcements have an impact on households’ (subjective) well-being by analysing life satisfaction on the days before and after monetary surprises in Germany. To do so, we use individual-level information on life satisfaction from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) survey and identify the day on which each answer is submitted to the survey. We also exploit ...

Big Five personality and religiosity: Bidirectional cross-lagged effects and their moderation by culture

Objective: Personality has long been assumed to be a cause of religiosity, not a consequence. Yet, recent research suggests that religiosity may well cause personality change. Consequently, longitudinal research is required that examines the bi-directionality between personality and religiosity. The required research must also attend to cultural religiosity—a critical moderator in previous cross-sectional ...

A relative measure of Economic Insecurity and Job Turnover

Economic inequalities and poverty are aspects of well-being that have been largely studied in the past literature also with the development of many appropriate indicators able to measure them. One aspect of well-being that has not been studied enough is economic insecurity. This lack might be due to its abstract nature and the difficulty to define such phenomena. In this work, we suggest an indicator ...

The end of the golden age: on growing challenges for male workers and their partners to secure a family income

Thanks to the male breadwinner model with wages sufficient to support a family, working-class families used to be financially secure. The transformation towards the adult worker model (AWM) saw an accumulation of adverse employment characteristics—especially among manual and non-manual routine occupations—and a rise in poverty risks. However, there is a lack of research that combines these strands. ...

Exposure to past immigration waves and attitudes toward newcomers

How does previous exposure to massive immigrant inflows affect concerns about current immigration and the integration of refugees? To answer this question, we investigate attitudes toward newcomers among natives and previous immigrants. In areas that in the 1990s received higher inflows of immigrants of German origin—the so-called ethnic Germans—native Germans are more likely to believe that refugees ...

Wir schließen diese Lücke auf Basis eines Modells, das Abwanderungen zur AfD bei der Bundestagswahl 2017 unter Berücksichtigung der Änderungen migrationsbezogener und ökonomischer Einstellungen sowie der sozioökonomischen Situation von CDU/CSU- und SPD-Wähler*innen des ...

Corona Monitoring Nationwide (RKI-SOEP-2): Seroepidemiological Study on the Spread of SARS-CoV-2 Across Germany

SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus, spread across Germany within just a short period of time. Seroepidemiological studies are able to estimate the proportion of the population with antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 infection (seroprevalence) as well as the level of undetected infections, which are not captured in official figures. In the seroepidemiological study Corona Monitoring Nationwide (RKI-SOEP-2), biospecimens ...
