Auf Kosten des Volkes!" Rechtspopulistische Positionen zu Klima und Umwelt

Die Broschüre "Auf Kosten des Volkes!" Rechtspopulistische Positionen zu Klima und Umwelt geht folgenden Fragen nach: Ist die Ablehnung von Klimaschutz kennzeichnend für Rechtspopulismus? Und wenn ja, wieso ist das so? Teilen die Anhänger:innen des Rechtspopulismus und auch breitere Bevölkerungsteile die Anti-Klima-Positionen? Und: Was bedeutet ein Erstarken des Rechtspopulismus für eine ...

Coronavirus: Zwei Jahre Corona – und wir haben so wenig verstanden

Die Pandemie hat vieles offengelegt. Wie verletzlich wir sind, wie hilflos die Politik. Noch schlimmer aber: wie verzerrt unser Blick auf Gesundheit ist.

Zeitgespräch: Armut in Deutschland — Einfluss der Coronapandemie noch nicht ablesbar

While the risk of poverty increased quite markedly around the turn of the millennium, a further but flatter increase can be subsequently observed. The development was also accompanied by a stronger increase in the at-risk-of-poverty threshold, particularly in the wake of the positive income trend in the years prior to the coronavirus pandemic. The extent to which the corona pandemic influenced poverty ...

Health inequalities in Germany: differences in the ‘Healthy migrant effect’ of European, non-European and internal migrants

The present study aims at comparing physical and mental health outcomes of different migrant groups and the native German population, testing for the presence of a healthy migrant effect (HME) and its potential differences between groups. The HME is marked by an observed health advantage for migrants compared to the host population, which declines with increasing years since migration. Macroeconomic, ...

Investigating the Gender Wealth Gap Across Occupational Classes

This study examines the role of occupational classes in the Gender Wealth Gap (GWG). Despite rising interest in gender differences in wealth, the central role of occupations in restricting and enabling its accumulation has been neglected thus far. Drawing on the German Socio-Economic Panel, this study employs quantile regressions and decomposition techniques. It finds explanatory power of occupational ...

Personal Social Networks of Recent Refugees in Germany: Does Family Matter?

This article explores the composition of the personal social networks and their interrelation with the family context of recently arrived refugees in Germany. Using the Refugee Sample of the German Socio-Economic Panel (2017) and performing logistic regression analyses, the findings suggest that refugees living without their partner, children, or extended family in Germany are more likely to have at ...

Does skill balancing prepare for entrepreneurship? Testing the underlying assumption of the jack-of-all-trades view

Lazear's jack-of-all-trades view of entrepreneurship predicts that individuals with a more balanced skill set are more likely to enter entrepreneurship. This relationship is often explained by either the investment or the endowment hypothesis. Both hypotheses describe skill balancing by those more interested in entrepreneurship per se. Previous studies which have attempted to determine the relative ...

Survey Response Behavior as a Proxy for Unobserved Ability: Theory and Evidence

An emerging literature is experimenting with using survey response behavior as a proxy for hard-to-measure abilities. We contribute to this literature by formalizing this idea and evaluating its benefits and risks. Using a standard and nationally representative survey from Australia, we demonstrate that the survey item-response rate (SIRR), a straightforward summary measure of response behavior, varies ...

Three Microeconomic Applications Using Administrative Records

This dissertation provides three examples of how using naturally occurring datasets, data collected independent of the consideration of researchers, can answer important research questions. These types of data are called “administrative records” or “organic data” and include sources as diverse as W2 tax filings, stock prices, and Google searches (see Groves, 2011). In the first example, The Dog that ...
