The determinants of domain satisfactions could be differently evaluated depending on the aspect of life considered, which would lead to different implications for public policies. To test this hypothesis, using the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP), we analyse the effect of different economic and non-economic factors on satisfaction with financial situation, job and health status. The main results ...

The digit ratio (2D:4D) is considered a proxy for testosterone exposure in utero, and there has been a recent surge of studies testing whether 2D:4D is associated with economic preferences. Although the results are not conclusive, previous studies have reported statistically significant correlations between 2D:4D and risk taking, altruism, positive reciprocity, negative reciprocity and trust. Many “researcher ...

Prenatal androgens have organizational effects on brain and endocrine system development, which may have a partial impact on economic decisions. Numerous studies have investigated the relationship between prenatal testosterone and financial risk taking, yet results remain inconclusive.

Befragungsdaten deuten auf einen mehrheitlichen Wunsch hin, der Staat solle die Einkommensunterschiede in Deutschland verringern. Besonders im vergangenen Jahrzehnt hat sich die subjektive Umverteilungspräferenz weiter erhöht.

Gesellschaftliche Veränderungen wie die Modernisierung der Arbeitswelt, die Globalisierung der Wirtschaft oder die Individualisierung der Lebensverhältnisse – all das scheint viele Menschen immer mehr zu verunsichern.

We investigate patterns of assortative matching on risk attitude, using self-reported (ordinal) data on risk attitudes for males and females within married couples, from the German Socio-Economic Panel over the period 2004–2012. We apply a novel copula-based bivariate panel ordinal model. Estimation is in two steps: first, a copula-based Markov model is used to relate the marginal distribution of the ...

We provide a new identification strategy to analyse the implications of religious affiliation on unhealthful behaviour by focusing on the link between religiousness and smoking. Our quasi-experimental research design exploits the exogenous dramatic fall in religious affiliation that took place in East Germany after the post-war separation. Our conditional difference-in-differences estimates on data ...
