This dissertation examines heterogeneity in the timing of leaving home at the individual and contextual level. At the individual level, it addresses the well-established finding that young adults from separated families leave home earlier than those from two-parent families. How can these differences in the age at leaving home be explained? What is the role of resources and relationships in the parental ...

Aufgrund der Zinsentwicklung ist Wohneigentum attraktiv, viele Haushalte können in den eigenen vier Wänden heute günstiger leben als zur Miete. Dennoch stagniert die Wohneigentumsquote, u. a. weil die hohen Erwerbsnebenkosten den Zugang versperren. Mit dem nun diskutierten Umwandlungsverbot würde eine weitere Hürde entstehen, die gerade den Erwerb von Eigentum in den Großstädten beeinträchtigt.

Why do voters for the radical right tend to cluster in specific geographic locations? Many scholars have emphasized the economic roots of radical right support. Other scholarship highlights the role of the urban-rural divide, contending that the radical right finds support in low population density locations due to distinctive social values and strong place-based social identities found in rural areas. ...

Involuntarily or planned – many refugees flee their home country alone, leave behind spouses and children but also siblings, parents and other family members they otherwise care for. Reunification in hosting communities is difficult, as governments limit institutional family reunifications and the individual journey of kin is dangerous and often illegal. Having family abroad is mentally distressing ...

The job polarization hypothesis suggests a U-shaped pattern of employment growth along the earnings/skill distribution, which is driven by simultaneous growth in the employment of highskill/high-earnings and low-skill/low-earnings occupations due to Routine-Biased Technological Change (RBTC) [Acemoglu and Autor, 2011]. An aspect of both high social and political relevance is the implications of job ...

Should rich people pay higher taxes? To answer this question an individual needs to consider his attitudes towards income redistribution. Such preferences might be based on the individual income but also on social factors. Using socioeconomic data we find that self-interested motives are indeed an important driver for the preferences of income redistribution. However , our analysis reveals that social ...

In addition to biological sex, gender, defined as the sociocultural dimension of being a woman or a man, plays acentral role in health. However, there are so far few approaches to quantify gender in a retrospective manner in existing study datasets. We therefore aimed to develop a methodology that can be retrospectively applied to assess gender in existing cohorts. We used baseline data from the Berlin ...

We explore how involuntary and voluntary exits from self-employment affect life and health satisfaction. To that end, we use rich longitudinal data from the German Socio-Economic Panel from 1985 to 2017 and a difference-in-differences estimator. We find that while transitioning from self-employment to salaried employment brings small improvements in health and life satisfaction, the negative psychological ...

Understanding the distributional impacts of market-based climate policies is crucial to design economically efficient climate change mitigation policies that are socially acceptable and avoid adverse impacts on the poor. Empirical studies that examine the distributional impacts of carbon pricing and fossil fuel subsidy reforms in different countries arrive at ambiguous results. To systematically determine ...
