This paper examines the possible spillover effects of parental unemployment on the subjective well-being of 12- to 21-year-old children. Using German panel data (SOEP), we show that unemployment of fathers and mothers is negatively associated with their children’s life satisfaction. When controlling for time-invariant individual heterogeneity, our results suggest that maternal unemployment has adverse ...

Deshalb kann gerade die Perspektive der Beschäftigten ...

Because the allocation of medium-skilled jobs on the German labour market heavily relies on a variety of credentials, unlike in the countries of origin, where skills are usually acquired on the job but not formally certified, ...

This paper examines the non-take-up rate of Germany's federal student aid program BAföG by creating a microsimulation based on data from the German Socio-Economic ...

In this study, we contribute to the literature about the effects of improving access to citizenship on integration outcomes. Hereby, we exploit exogenous variation from two citizenship reforms in Germany to estimate the effects of residency requirements on perceived discrimination, which is strongly linked to individual well-being, sense of belonging, and migration desires and decisions. We find that ...
