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 ...

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.

We examine the additivity of stock-market expectations over different time intervals. When asked about a ten-year interval, survey respondents expect a stock-price change that is not equal to, but closer to zero than, the sum of their expectations over two shorter time intervals that cover the same ten years. Such sub-additivity is irrational in that it cannot stem from aggregating short-term expectations. ...

In der Coronakrise verlieren alle an Lebenszufriedenheit – aber Frauen deutlich mehr als Männer. Der „Happiness Gap“ der Frauen beträgt 0,19 Punkte.
