PDOSPERT: A New Scale to Predict Domain-Specific Risk-Taking Behaviors in Times of a Pandemic

ABSTRACT Understanding risk tolerance is crucial for predicting and changing behavior across various domains, including health and safety, finance, and ethics. This remains true during a crisis, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, and leads to a key question: Do current risk measures reliably predict risk-taking in the drastically different context of a pandemic? The Domain Specific Risk-Taking (DOSPERT) ...

A dataset on survey designs and quality of social and behavioral science surveys during the COVID-19 pandemic

In the social and behavioral sciences, surveys are frequently used to collect data. During the COVID-19 pandemic, surveys provided political actors and public health professionals with timely insights on the attitudes and behaviors of the general population. These insights were key in guiding actions to fight the pandemic. However, the data quality of these surveys remains unclear because systematic ...

How regional attitudes towards immigration shape the chance to obtain asylum: Evidence from Germany

Asylum recognition rates in advanced democracies differ not only across states but also vary within them, translating into fluctuating individual chances to obtain protection. Existing studies on the determinants of these regional inequities typically rely on aggregate data. Utilizing a German refugee survey and leveraging a quasi-natural experiment arising from state-based allocation rules tied to ...

Je immigrationsskeptischer die Bevölkerung, desto restriktiver sind die BAMF-Entscheidungen

Der Begriff der Asyllotterie beschreibt die für den Rechtsstaat bedenkliche Tendenz, dass die Schutzquoten für Asylsuchende regional und zeitlich stark variieren. Doch mit den verwendeten Aggregatdaten für einzelne Bundesländer lässt sich nicht belegen, dass sich die Erfolgsaussichten für Geflüchtete mit einem ähnlich glaubwürdigen Gesuch und vergleichbarem Hintergrund systematisch unterscheiden. Eine ...

The State of Replication Code Availability: Evidence from the German Socio-Economic Panel

Providing replication code is an inexpensive way to facilitate reproducibility. However, little is known about the extent of replication code provision. Therefore, we examine the availability of replication code for over 2,500 peer-reviewed articles based on the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP), one of the most widely used datasets in economics and other social sciences. We find that only 6% of SOEP-based ...

Establishing a Panel Study of Refugees in Germany: First Wave Response and Panel Attrition from a Comparative Perspective

This article analyzes whether response patterns in surveys differ between the general population, regular immigrants, and recent refugees. Analyses show that the address quality of refugees contacted in the first wave of a panel study is worse than that of the general population, but of a similar quality to that of other recent immigrants. Once contacted, people in refugee households are more willing ...

Ethnic Classifications in Algorithmic Fairness: Concepts, Measures and Implications in Practice

We address the challenges and implications of ensuring fairness in algorithmic decision-making (ADM) practices related to ethnicity. Expanding beyond the U.S.-centric approach to race, we provide an overview of ethnic classification schemes in European countries and emphasize how the distinct approaches to ethnicity in Europe can impact fairness assessments in ADM. Drawing on large-scale German survey ...
