The Long Way to Gender Equality: Gender Pay Differences in Germany, 1871-2021

This paper provides the first time series of the gender earnings ratio for the full-time employed workforce in Germany since the 1870s and compares Germany’s path with the Swedish and U.S. cases. The industrialization period yielded slow advances in economic gender relations due to women’s delayed inclusion in the industrial workforce.

The reliability of replications: a study in computational reproductions

This study investigates researcher variability in computational reproduction, an activity for which it is least expected. Eighty-five independent teams attempted numerical replication of results from an original study of policy preferences and immigration. Reproduction teams were randomly grouped into a ‘transparent group’ receiving original study and code or ‘opaque group’ receiving only a method ...

The development of subjective well-being across the life span: A meta-analytic review of longitudinal studies

How does subjective well-being (SWB) develop across the life span? Theories and previous empirical research suggest heterogeneous conclusions regarding this question. Therefore, in this meta-analysis, we synthesized the available longitudinal data on mean-level change in three SWB components: life satisfaction, positive affect, and negative affect. The analyses were based on 443 unique samples with ...

Methoden der Sozialstrukturforschung – Unterscheiden und Vergleichen

Das Treffen sinnvoller Unterscheidungen und Vergleiche ist das grundlegende Handwerkszeug der Sozialstruktur- und Ungleichheitsforschung. Wir stellen dar, wie Unterscheidungen und Vergleiche auf eine adäquate Art und Weise durchgeführt werden können. Anhand der Konstruktion von sozialen Milieus und Wohlfahrtsstaatstypen diskutieren wir vier Ziele einer guten Unterscheidung: theoretische Klarheit, Validität, ...

Much to lose, no credentials to prove it – Educational aspirations and intentions of adult refugees as means of occupational status re-attainment

We analyse how educational aspirations and intentions of adult refugees in Germany are shaped by their foreign educational credentials and their previous occupational status. Because the allocation of medium-skilled jobs on the German labour market heavily relies on a variety of credentials, unlike in the countries of origin, where skills are usually acquired on the job but not formally certified, ...

The impact of free trade agreements on Middle East and North Africa exports of intermediate and final goods

This paper is the first to analyse the impact of free trade agreements (FTAs) and the harmonisation of rules of origin (RoO) on Middle East and North African (MENA) countries’ exports differentiating between final and intermediate goods for a global sample of trade partners. Data on exports from four MENA countries (Egypt, Jordan, Morocco and Tunisia) to 61 destinations over the period 1995–2016 are ...
