A pilot study for "Linked Open Research Data" (LORDpilot): a LOD based Concept Registry for social science research data

Reusing research data is an important part of research practice in the social and economic sciences. To find suitable data, researchers need functional search options. However, a comprehensive search for data is hampered by inconsistent or missing semantic indexing because different survey programs use their own terminology for documentation.

Using variation from bunching of retirements at age-based eligibility thresholds, I demonstrate ...

We construct a measure of individual exposure to AI technology based on the occupation in which workers in our sample were first employed and explore an event study design and a difference-in-differences approach to compare AI-exposed ...

Minimum Wage Non-Compliance: The Role of Co-Determination

We analyse in what way co-determination affects non-compliance with the German minimum wage, which was introduced in 2015. The Works Constitution Act (WCA), the law regulating co-determination at the plant level, provides works councils with indirect means to ensure compliance with the statutory minimum wage. Based on this legal situation, our theoretical model predicts that non-compliance is less ...

SARS-CoV-2-Infektionen von Erwerbstätigen: Erhöhtes Risiko bei Personen mit Migrationserfahrung und in Gesundheitsberufen

Allerdings sind Kontaktreduzierungen oder das Arbeiten im Homeoffice nicht in allen Berufen umsetzbar. Befragungs- und Infektionsdaten zeigen, wie die höheren Infektionsraten unter Personen mit Migrationserfahrung mit ihrer beruflichen Situation zusammenhängen ...
