In den aktuellen arbeitspolitischen Debatten werden von verschiedenen Akteuren flexible Arbeitszeiten gefordert: Wer aber nutzt flexible Arbeitszeiten? Welche Konsequenzen hat die Nutzung flexibler Arbeitszeiten? Und welche Rolle spielen Betriebe dabei? Die Klärung dieser Fragen ist für die Gestaltung einer Arbeitszeitpolitik notwendig, die allen Beschäftigtengruppen im gleichen Maße zugutekommt und ...

Conservative welfare state policies as in Germany often presume that money is a common resource within couples and, therefore, pooled. Research, however, indicates that money is increasingly managed separately or partly separately. This trend is either explained by the diversification of forms of relationships or interpreted as a general decline of the joint pooling of money. Contributing to this debate, ...

How do national-level work–life balance policies shape the role of flextime in maternal labor market re-entry after childbirth? It is well known that such policies influence the adoption, provision, and support of flexible work arrangements by organizations, but whether they shape the relevance of these arrangements for workers has been neglected in past research. This article analyzes whether mothers’ ...

Flexible Arbeitsarrangements können die Vereinbarkeit von Erwerbsarbeit mit außerberuflichen Tätigkeiten erleichtern. Gleitzeit, völlig selbstbestimmte Arbeitszeiten und Homeoffice können Beschäftigten mehr Autonomie geben und somit die Möglichkeit, ihre Erwerbsarbeit an ihr Familienleben anzupassen. Flexible Arbeitsarrangements sind daher vor allem für Eltern zentral, die sich tagtäglich der Herausforderung ...

We use British and German panel data to analyse job changes involving a change in occupation. We assess the extent of occupational change, taking into account the possibility of measurement error in occupational codes; whether job changes within the occupation differ from occupation changes in terms of the characteristics of those making such switches; and the effects of the two kinds of moves in terms ...

This paper compares two prominent empirical measures of individual risk attitudes | the Holt and Laury (2002) lottery-choice task and the multi-item questionnaire advocated by Dohmen, Falk, Huffman, Schupp, Sunde and Wagner (forthcoming) | with respect to (a) their within-subject stability over time (one year) and (b) their correlation with actual risk-taking behaviour in the lab - here the amount ...

We derive a simple sufficient-statistics test for whether a nonlinear tax-transfer system is second-best Pareto efficient. If it is not, then it is beyond the top of the Laffer curve and there exists a tax cut that is self-financing. The test depends on the income distribution, extensive and intensive labor supply elasticities, and income effect parameters. A tax-transfer system is likely to be inefficient ...

How and why commuting contributes to our well-being is of considerable importance for transportation policy and planning. This paper analyses the relation between commuting and subjective well-being by considering several cognitive (e.g., satisfaction with family life, leisure, income, work, health) and affective (e.g., happiness, anger, worry, sadness) components of subjective well-being. Fixed-effects ...

Flexibility and spatial mobility of labour are central characteristics of modern societies which contribute not only to higher overall economic growth but also to a reduction of interregional employment disparities. For these reasons, there is the political will in many countries to expand labour market areas, resulting especially in an overall increase in commuting. The picture of the various, unintended ...

This paper explores the causal relationship between commuting distance and height-adjusted weight (BMI) in Germany, using micro-level data for the period 2004 – 2012. In contrast to previous papers, we find no evidence that longer commutes are associated with a higher BMI. The non-existence of a relationship between BMI and commuting distance prevails when physical activity and eating habits are adjusted ...
