How Family Transfers Crowd-out Social Assistance in Germany

The non-take-up of social assistance has been receiving increased attention among policy makers in recent years as it would apparently underpin the effectiveness of public intervention in alleviating poverty. We examine whether receipt of private transfers affects the household decision to take-up social assistance in Germany between 2009 and 2011. We exploit the follow-up of households in the SOEP ...

The Deep Imprint of Roman Sandals: Evidence of Long-lasting Effects of Roman Rule on Personality, Economic Performance, and Well-Being in Germany

We investigate whether the Roman presence in the southern part of Germany nearly 2,000 years ago had a deep imprinting effect with long run consequences on a broad spectrum of measures ranging from present-day personality profiles to a number of socioeconomic outcomes and why. Today’s populations living in the former Roman part of Germany score indeed higher on certain personality traits, have higher ...

A typological approach of perceived resource fluctuations after job transitions in a representative panel study

One possible reason for the differential effects of transitions is that they can involve resource gains, losses, conservation, or a combination thereof. This study investigates perceived resource fluctuation patterns as possible reasons for differential health outcomes in a representative German panel study (n = ...

The Editor vs. The Algorithm: Returns to Data and Externalities in Online News

We run a field experiment to quantify the economic returns to data and informational ex-ternalities associated with algorithmic recommendation relative to human curation in the context of online news. Our results show that personalized recommendation can outperform human curation in terms of user engagement, though this crucially depends on the amount of personal data. Limited individual data or breaking ...

Essays on the Political Economy of Immigration

The thesis presents three essays dealing with political, social and economic aspects of international migration. In the second chapter (coauthored work with Prof. Lewis Davis, Union College, NY), we revisit the well-established salient relationship between rising immigrant population shares (IPS) and the success of far-right parties in the European countries. In particular, special attention is given ...
