Measures of private wealth often refer to households or tax-units, but how does household wealth relate to individual welfare? Analogous to household economies of scale for consumption, this paper offers a methodology and empirical results to account for household wealth scale effects. These scale effects vary depending on the purpose of savings: funding consumption versus holding wealth for motives ...

Aim: Maintaining transnational ties may be an indication of poor integration into the host society (according to classical ‘assimilation theory’) or may convey additional capital resources to immigrants (the ‘transmigrant’ view of migration). Consequences for health would be negative in the first and positive in the second scenario. We tested the hypotheses that (1) maintaining transnational ties may ...

In Deutschland - wie auch international - ist die Mietbelastung seit Beginn der 1990er Jahre gestiegen.

Zudem haben sich die Unterschiede in der Belastung zwischen den verschiedenen Einkommensgruppen in den letzten Jahren vergrößert. Im Jahr 2021 zahlten die einkommensschwächsten 20 Prozent der Miethaushalte ...

Evidence from intergenerational correlations and sibling correlations shows that intergenerational persistence in wealth is substantially large and similar in size compared to income persistence. The intergenerational persistence in wealth is partly due to the direct transfers of wealth from parents to children, which makes wealth unique compared to other resources such as education and income. Furthermore, ...

Abstract As a consequence of increasing human-wildlife encounters, the associated potential for human-wildlife conflict rises. The dependency of conservation management actions on the acceptance or even the participation of people requires modern conservation strategies that take the human dimension of wildlife management into account. In the first place, conservationists therefore need to understand ...

Entrepreneurs tend to be risk tolerant but is higher risk tolerance always better? In a sample of about 2100 small businesses, we find an inverted U-shaped relation between risk tolerance and profitability. This relationship holds in a simple bilateral regression, and even after controlling for a large set of individual and business characteristics. Apparently, one major transmission goes from risk ...

To address these issues, we examine the career patterns of individuals with self-employment experience and their relationship to ...
