The censoring threshold in the case of Germany is the limit value for social security contributions, leading to a substantial fraction of censoring: For example, about 1 % of male workers in West Germany are affected, rising to above 30 % for highly educated prime-aged workers. This missing right tail of the earnings distribution ...

This was a period of significant social change commonly associated with “deindustrialization”. Based on a task-based approach and the assumption of routine-biased technological change it is assumed that the routine nature of work tasks correlates with ...

Since the beginning of the pandemic, there has been a suspicion that the health burden would fall mainly on population ...

Unemployment consistently lowers life satisfaction on average, yet the individual impact of job loss varies significantly. The underlying factors driving this heterogeneity remain a subject of ongoing research. Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel, we demonstrate a compelling link between unemployment and loneliness, suggesting that a substantial portion of unemployment’s detrimental impact ...
