In psychology, mobile sensing is increasingly used to record behavior in real-life situations. However, little is known about the selectivity of samples participating in these new data collection approaches and thus about potential risks to the validity of research findings.

Most people consider parks important for their quality of life, yet systematic causal evidence is missing. We exploit exogenous variations in their use values to estimate causal effects. Using a representative household panel with precise geographical coordinates of households linked to satellite images of green spaces with a nationwide coverage, we employ a spatial difference-in-differences design, ...

In times of polycrisis, such as COVID-19, the Russian war against Ukraine, and inflation, fear and uncertainties challenge many people. While the impact of the pandemic on subjective well-being was thoroughly studied, the medium-term effects and impacts of more recent crises are still to be observed. Based on the first five waves of the bi-annual (and once tri-annual) large-scale panel FReDA, we show ...

As a result of the Russo-Ukrainian war, several million Ukrainians fled, more than one million to Germany. Until now, most studies on mental health of Ukrainian refugees are cross-sectional and there is a clear need to observe their well-being. We employed five waves of the IAB-BiB/FReDA-BAMF-SOEP (later BiB/FReDA) Survey on Ukrainian Refugees in Germany analyzing affective balance, starting shortly ...

The analysis is based on data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP) for 2003–2021. The causal effect of commuting distance is identified by quasi-experimental changes for employees who experience firm ...

The application of reduced VAT rates in the EU generally aims to alleviate the regressivity of consumption taxation. However, while these measures generate redistribution across income groups, they also do so within income groups, leading to arbitrary redistribution among households with similar incomes but different consumption patterns. Using the Analysis of Gini (ANOGI) decomposition, we evaluate ...
