(Un-)Zufriedenheit in der Landwirtschaft? Eine explorative Analyse der Arbeits- und Lebenszufriedenheit in Ostdeutschland

Im Wettbewerb um Fachkräfte sind attraktive Arbeits- und Lebensbedingen von entscheidender Bedeutung. Obwohl es seit vielen Jahren eine Zunahme von Erhebungen zur Arbeits- und Lebenszufriedenheit und darauf aufbauende empirische Studien gibt, existieren keine detaillierten regions- und betriebszweigbezogenen Beschreibungen der Arbeits- und Lebenszufriedenheit von Erwerbstätigen in der Landwirtschaft. ...

Mental health and well-being in the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic among different population subgroups: evidence from representative longitudinal data in Germany

OBJECTIVES: To examine potential deteriorations in mental health and well-being in the first COVID-19 pandemic year compared with the previous decade focusing on the following vulnerable subgroups in Germany: women with minor children in the household, those living without a partner, younger and older adults, those in a precarious labour market situation, immigrants and refugees, and those with pre-existing ...

Unintended Consequences and Spill-over Effects of Family Policies: Six Essays in Labour and Family Economics (Dissertation)

This dissertation consists of six independent chapters contributing to the literature of labour and family economics. The main topic concerns how family policies impact on gender and socio-economic inequality in, at times, unintended ways. Chapter 2 uses administrative linked employer-employee data to examine whether employers statistically discriminated against women of childbearing age (potential ...

Child Penalties in Labour Market Skills

Child penalties in labour market outcomes are well-documented: after childbirth, mothers’ employment and earnings drop persistently compared to fathers. Beyond gender norms, a potential driver could be the loss in labour market skills due to mothers’ longer employment interruptions. This paper estimates child penalties in adult cognitive skills by adapting the pseudo-panel approach to a single cross-section ...

Normative Judgments Implicit in the Tax System: A Simulation Approach

How much does society value redistribution? The common method to derive inverse-optimum welfare weights is by inverting an optimal-tax model. Our alternative imposes fewer restrictions on labor supply and enables comparisons across household types. We use a structural labor supply model to calculate the marginal value of public funds for various small tax reductions, directly linked to welfare weights. ...

Intersektionalität und Diskriminierung: Klassismus und Gewalt in der Geburtshilfe

Surprisingly absent! On the earnings penalty of second-generation immigrants in Germany

Whether or not immigrants are well integrated into the labor market in Germany has been the focus of an ongoing public discussion. While there has been a lot of research on the career paths of first-generation immigrants, official statistics do not offer a lot of insight when it comes to the one of the offspring of the first generation. This paper seeks to address this issue for the second generation ...

Sporting Activity, Employment Status and Wage

We propose a structural model of participation to sporty activities and labour supply. We jointly model employment, wage and sporting activity using a dynamic model. We estimate for the period going from 1994 to 1999 a dynamic multivariate model with random effects using the German Socioeconomic panel (GSOEP). The error terms of the equations of the model can be correlated. Each of these error terms ...

The effect of co-ethnic social capital on immigrants' labor market integration: a natural experiment

Empirically identifying the causal effect of social capital on immigrants’ economic prospects is a challenging task due to the non-random residential sorting of immigrants into locations with greater opportunities for prior or co-ethnic connections. Our study addresses this selection-bias issue by using a natural-experimental dataset of refugees and other immigrants who were exogenously allocated to ...
