This paper analyses the relationship between locus of control (LOC) and the demand for supplementary health insurance. Drawing on longitudinal data from Germany, we find robust evidence that individuals having an internal LOC are more likely to take up supplementary private health insurance (SUPP). The increase in the probability to have a SUPP due to one standard deviation increase in the measure ...

In 2015, Germany introduced a statutory hourly minimum wage that was not only universally binding but also set at a relatively high level. By focusing on the short-run effects of the German Minimum Wage Reform, I estimate its impact on employment. Using a difference-in-differences framework, I exploit variation in the regional treatment intensity, assuming that the stronger a minimum wage ‘bites’ into ...

Watching television is the most time-consuming human activity besides work but its role for individual well-being is unclear. Negative consequences portrayed in the literature raise the question whether this popular pastime constitutes an economic good or bad, and hence serves as a prime example of irrational behavior reducing individual health and happiness. Using rich panel data, we are the first ...

We propose a broadly applicable empirical approach to classify individuals as time-consistent versus native or sophisticated regarding their self-control limitations. Operationalizing our approach based on nationally representative data reveals that self-control problems are pervasive and that most people are at least partly aware of their limited self-control. Compared to naifs, sophisticates have ...

Das Sozio-oekonomische Panel (SOEP) beschreibt die Situation der Privathaushalte in Deutschland mit Blick auf ein breites Themenspektrum und wird bereits seit 1984 durchgeführt. Es setzte bisher primär auf interviewergestützte Befragungsmodi und dabei vorrangig auf das Face-to-Face-Interview. Verschiedene Faktoren führten jedoch zu der Entscheidung, mehr Vielfalt in der Datenerhebung zu wagen. Dazu ...
