Multi-Mode in Haushaltspanels - Erfahrungen und aktuelle Weiterentwicklungen im Sozio-oekonomischen Panel (SOEP)

Das Sozio-oekonomische Panel (SOEP) beschreibt die Situation der Privathaushalte in Deutschland mit Blick auf ein breites Themenspektrum und wird bereits seit 1984 durchgeführt. Es setzte bisher primär auf interviewergestützte Befragungsmodi und dabei vorrangig auf das Face-to-Face-Interview. Verschiedene Faktoren führten jedoch zu der Entscheidung, mehr Vielfalt in der Datenerhebung zu wagen. Dazu ...

Gender and Gambling Preference

Gambling preferences are analysed using survey data from the wider population. Respondents were confronted with a hypothetical lottery question, in which they were asked to imagine having just won a large prize, and asked how much of this prize they would be willing to invest in a further gamble. We observe the majority of respondents avoiding the gamble altogether. We demonstrate that such behaviour ...

Women in the German labor market: The cost of being a mother

Initial findings regarding the coronavirus crisis’ impact on the German labor market suggest that the existing dynamics of inequality will worsen in two respects – both between the sexes, and within the group of women alone. One thing is certain: Mothers in particular will lose out, as the following analysis shows that even before the crisis, children already cost mothers up to two-thirds of their ...

Longitudinal coupling of momentary stress reactivity and trait neuroticism: Specificity of states, traits, and age period

Personality traits like neuroticism show both continuity and change across adolescence and adulthood, with most pronounced changes occurring in young adulthood. It has been assumed, but insufficiently examined, that trait changes occur gradually over the years through the accumulation of daily experiences. The current longitudinal measurement burst study examined (a) how changes in average momentary ...

In particular, we focus on the heterogeneity in employment rates among female refugees. Background: Previous research has demonstrated that refugee women are disadvantaged on the labour market not only compared to their male counterparts, but also compared to other immigrant women. ...

Robust prediction of domain compositions from uncertain data using isometric logratio transformations in a penalized multivariate Fay–Herriot model

Assessing regional population compositions is an important task in many research fields. Small area estimation with generalized linear mixed models marks a powerful tool for this purpose. However, the method has limitations in practice. When the data are subject to measurement errors, small area models produce inefficient or biased results since they cannot account for data uncertainty. This is particularly ...

Destination-language acquisition of recently arrived immigrants. Do refugees differ from other immigrants?

This article describes new immigrants’ levels of destination-language proficiency shortly after taking up residence in Germany. The focus lies on a comparison of refugees from Syria with new arrivals from Italy, Poland, and Turkey, who came as economic immigrants, for family reasons, or as students. The theoretical account builds upon a well-established model of language acquisition, according to which ...

For all SOEP respondents who give explicit consent to record linkage, SOEP-RV creates a linked dataset that combines the comprehensive multi-topic SOEP data with detailed cross-sectional and longitudinal ...
