By the end of the Second World War, an estimated 20 percent of the West German housing stock had been destroyed. Building on a theoretical lifecycle model of wealth accumulation, this paper examines the extent to which regional differences in destruction can explain differences in wealth today” – at the beginning of the 21st century. As our empirical basis, we link a unique historical dataset on the ...

In this study, we investigate the determinants of social integration of Syrian refugees and the impact of social integration on refugees’ decision to stay in Germany, using the 2016 IAB-BAMF-SOEP Refugee Survey. Our econometric strategy is based on the estimation of a simultaneous equation model for social integration, economic integration, and the decision to stay, handling endogeneity issues through ...

Expanding on a new body of literature on cultural self-selection, the present study investigates how refugees who arrived in Germany since 2013 relate to the general population of their countries of origin in terms of liberal democratic values. The cultural self-selection literature suggests that more liberal individuals may be more likely to flee to Germany. To trace cultural self-selection amongst ...

This article expands on the discussion of social and cultural factors for refugees’ feelings of belonging in the receiving society and assesses democratic, civic, and moral values as predictors of belonging.

Concepts like race, migration background, or ethnic group are more and more being investigated in health research. It should be noted that those concepts themselves are very heterogeneous. They are, for example, endowed with different rights (e.g., cosmopolitan migrants from the global north, refugees from the global south) (Ambrosini & van der Leun, 2015) or have to deal with racism or discrimination ...

What role do intermarriages (i.e., interethnic marriages) play in immigrants’ life satisfaction? Only a few studies have addressed this question. While intermarriages are associated with upward mobility for immigrants, they are more likely to get divorced than intramarriages (i.e., marriages among co-ethnics), which suggests either a positive or negative association between intermarriage and immigrants’ ...

Deutschland ist ein Einwanderungsland, das in den letzten Jahren große Wanderungsgewinne verzeichnet hat. Gleichzeitig lagen allerdings auch die Zahlen der Fortzüge in den Jahren 2019 mit 1,2 Millionen und 2020 mit 970.000 auf sehr hohem Niveau. Dies erklärt sich vorwiegend damit, dass viele Migrationsformen einen temporären Charakter haben, und ist daher auch nicht unbedingt kritisch zu sehen. Jedoch ...

Objectives: While encountering daily hassles is a normative experience, it poses a threat to individuals' daily affective well-being. However, physical activity engagement may help to reduce the current stress-related impact on affective well-being (i.e. stress buffering), which we investigate in this study. Furthermore, we examined the possible moderating role of people's global stress context ...

In der aktuellen Debatte um Künstliche Intelligenz (KI) wird oft ein radikaler Wandel der Arbeitswelt erwartet, der auch die Arbeitsqualität betrifft. Dabei stehen bisher vielen weitreichenden Annahmen sehr wenige empirische Fakten gegenüber. Zudem wird oftmals nicht berücksichtigt, dass die KI-Nutzung am Arbeitsplatz bestimmte digitale Arbeitsmittel voraussetzt, die wiederum selbst Kernaspekte der ...
