Dramatic effects but fast adaptation: Changes in life satisfaction and different facets of affective well-being around the death of a partner and death of a child

Although everyone would agree that bereavement is extremely stressful, surprisingly little is known about changes in different facets of affective well-being in the years surrounding the death of a loved one. On the basis of the Socio-Economic Panel Study, we examined changes in cognitive well-being (life satisfaction) and different facets of affective well-being (happiness, sadness, anxiety, and anger) ...

The Role of Within-Occupation Task Changes in Wage Development

We examine how changes in task content over time condition occupational wage development. Using survey data from Germany, we document substantial heterogeneity in within-occupational changes in task content. Combining this evidence with administrative data on individual employment outcomes over a 25-year period, we find important heterogeneity in wage penalties amongst initially routine intensive jobs. ...

Technological Progress, Occupational Structure and Gender Gaps in the German Labour Market

We analyze if technological progress and the corresponding change in the occupational structure have improved the relative position of women in the labour market. We show that the share of women rises most strongly in non-routine cognitive and manual occupations, but declines in routine occupations. While the share of women also rises relatively strongly in high-paying occupations, womens' individual-level ...

Sozioökonomische und einstellungsbezogene Ursachen für Wanderungen von CDU/CSU- und SPD-Wähler*innen zur AfD bei der Bundestagswahl 2017

Längsschnittliche Studien zu den sozioökonomischen und einstellungsbezogenen Ursachen für Wählerwanderungen zur AfD sind bislang rar. Wir schließen diese Lücke auf Basis eines Modells, das Abwanderungen zur AfD bei der Bundestagswahl 2017 unter Berücksichtigung der Änderungen migrationsbezogener und ökonomischer Einstellungen sowie der sozioökonomischen Situation von CDU/CSU- und SPD-Wähler*innen des ...

Corona Monitoring Nationwide (RKI-SOEP-2): Seroepidemiological Study on the Spread of SARS-CoV-2 Across Germany

SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus, spread across Germany within just a short period of time. Seroepidemiological studies are able to estimate the proportion of the population with antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 infection (seroprevalence) as well as the level of undetected infections, which are not captured in official figures. In the seroepidemiological study Corona Monitoring Nationwide (RKI-SOEP-2), biospecimens ...

Out for Good: Labor Market Effects of Transitory and Persistent Health Shocks

Health shocks limit individuals’ participation in the labor market and pose a major risk to household welfare. In this paper, we derive two novel health shock indicators using machine learning based on sick days and hospitalizations: one for transitory and one for persistent shocks. In an event study framework, we show their respective effects on employment, yearly working hours, and labor earnings, ...

Immigrants and Trade Union Membership: Does Integration into Society and Workplace Play a Moderating Role?

We hypothesize that incomplete integration into the workplace and society implies that immigrants are less likely to be union members than natives. Incomplete integration makes the usual mechanism for overcoming the collective action problem less effective. Using data from the Socio-Economic Panel, our empirical analysis confirms a unionization gap for first-generation immigrants in Germany. Importantly, ...

Hohe Energiepreise: Ärmere Haushalte werden trotz Entlastungspaketen stärker belastet als reichere Haushalte

Durch den russischen Angriff auf die Ukraine sind die Energiepreise sprunghaft gestiegen. Bereits zuvor wurden Strom, Gas und Kraftstoffe sukzessive teurer. Die privaten Haushalte in Deutschland werden dadurch erheblich belastet. Zwei Entlastungspakete hat die Regierungskoalition dazu geschnürt. Dennoch drohen den privaten Haushalten mittelfristig reale Einkommensverluste von durchschnittlich 2,1 Prozent, ...
