Access to Citizenship and the Economic Assimilation of Immigrants

Immigrants often have lower employment rates and earnings than natives. Our empirical analysis relies on two reforms generating exogenous variation in the waiting time for citizenship. We find that faster access to citizenship improves the economic situation of immigrant women, especially their labour market attachment with higher employment rates, longer working hours and more stable jobs. Immigrants ...

Access to Citizenship and the Social Integration of Immigrants

We study whether the option to naturalize improves the social integration of immigrants in the destination country. The empirical analysis relies on two immigration reforms in Germany, a country with a traditionally weak record of immigrant assimilation. For identification, we exploit the introduction of citizenship eligibility rules that varied across year of arrival and birth cohorts. Our results ...

Taxing Childcare: Effects on Family Labor Supply and Children

Previous studies report a wide range of estimates for how female labor supply responds to childcare prices. We shed new light on this question using a reform that raised the prices of public daycare. Parents respond by reducing public daycare and increasing childcare at home. Parents also reduce informal childcare indicating that public daycare and informal childcare are complements. Female labor force ...

Taxing Childcare: Effects on Childcare Choices, Family Labor Supply and Children

Previous studies report a range of estimates for the response of female labor supply and childcare attendance to childcare prices. We shed new light on these questions using a policy reform that raises the price of public daycare. After the reform, children are 8 percentage points less likely to attend public daycare which implies a compensated price elasticity of -0.6. There is little labor supply ...

The Intergenerational Transmission of Attitudes: Analyzing Time Preferences and Reciprocity

The present research adds to the question on intergenerational correlation of attitudes between parents and children. So far, it is not clear whether the transmission process is purely genetic or whether parents take an active role in socializing their children. The transmission of time preferences and reciprocity is analyzed by focusing on three aspects: (1) direct transmission from parents to children; ...

Sind Fremdsprachenkenntnisse mit dem Einkommen und der Beschäftigung verbunden? Empirische Evidenz aus Deutschland und aus der Welt

This paper addresses the relationship between language, human capital, and the labour market. It starts with a fundamental discussion on the influence of language on consumption and production. Language skills are seen as human capital that exert influence both on consumption behaviour and productivity in the labour market. It is emphasised that the value of language skills depends both on the demand ...

Fordern statt Fördern? Nein! - Wege aus Arbeitslosigkeit und Armut erleichtern

Die Arbeitsmarktreformen, die Anfang 2005 in Kraft traten, fanden unter der Rhetorik des "Förderns und Forderns" Eingang in das Sozialgesetzbuch. Sie werden von Vertretern aus Politik und Wirtschaft nach wie vor überwiegend positiv gewertet. Der Beitrag nimmt zwei konträre Positionen zum Ausgangspunkt: Die eine, die implizit auch den Arbeitsmarktreformen zugrunde liegt, geht davon aus, dass ...
