Millionaires under the microscope: Data gap on top wealth holders closed; wealth concentration higher than presumed

Individuals with assets in the millions of euros have been underrepresented in population surveys and accordingly little has been known about them. As a result, the full extent of wealth concentration in Germany was unknown. To close the existing data gap, the Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) inte-grated a special sample in which individuals with high assets are overrepresented. New calculations using this ...

A Novel Sampling Strategy for Surveying High Net-Worth Individuals—A Pretest Application Using the Socio-Economic Panel

High-wealth individuals are typically underrepresented or completely missing in population surveys. The lack of comprehensive national registers on high-wealth individuals in many countries challenged previous attempts to remedy this under-representation. In a novel research design, we draw on public data on the shareholding structures of companies as a sampling frame. Our design builds on the empirical ...

Shocks and the Labor Market: Five Empirical Essays in Economics (Dissertation)

The Scarring Effects of Firm Shutdowns on Workers’ Wages: A Distributional Perspective

To shed light on the differential impact of firm shutdowns across the distribution of workers, we adopt the wage determination framework of Bonhomme, Lamadon, and Manresa (2019) to uncover workers’ unobserved types. Worker types relate to workers’ position in the wage distribution: all else equal, a higher type implies higher wages. We use the universe of social security records of Italy’s Veneto region, ...

Adverse birth outcomes and parental labor market participation after birth

Numerous articles have looked at the connection between adverse birth outcomes (low birth weight or preterm birth) and an individual's later socioeconomic status. To this day very few studies have been conducted that specifically address how delivery and adverse birth outcomes affect families and the homes where children grow up. In this study, I use data from the German Socioeconomic Panel (SOEP) ...

Pre-migration capital, refugee journeys, and typical trajectories of refugee women and men in Germany: a sequence analysis approach

Roughly a decade ago, the entry and admission of refugees has prominently returned to the political agendas in Europe. With that, researchers and policy-makers have shown increasing interest in factors that determine the participation of refugees in receiving societies, labor markets and education systems. The analyses in this paper address the conflicting views in sociology of migration on whether ...

Doch was bedeutet „gerechte Rente“? Dieser Frage geht der Band aus einer sozialethischen und zugleich interdisziplinären ...

Something in the Air: Fetal air pollution exposure and long-run labour outcomes: Evidence from Germany. (Master Thesis)

This study examines the long-run impact of air pollution exposure at the month of birth and during pregnancy on labour outcomes in Germany. I match air pollution levels on a federal-state level to a longitudinal survey sample on individuals born in Germany. The study focuses on individuals born between 1985 to 1992, as this time period relates to consistent economic growth in Germany. The main identification ...
