International migration of couples is rising. Still, there is little evidence on men’s and women’s domestic work hours before and after migration. This is despite the fact that domestic work provides deep insights into family life and, for migrants, is directly linked to integration. Therefore, this study examines how immigrant men and women change their domestic work hours following migration, using ...

On average, temporary jobs are far less stable than permanent jobs. This higher instability could potentially lower workers’ incentives to relocate towards the workplace, thereby resulting in longer commutes. However, surprisingly few studies have investigated the link between temporary employment and commuting length. Building on the notion that individuals strive to optimize their utility when deciding ...

Interviewer falsification, such as the complete or partial fabrication of interview data, has been shown to substantially affect the results of survey data. In this study, we apply a method to identify falsifying face-to-face interviewers based on the development of their behavior over the survey field period. We postulate four potential falsifier types: steady low-effort falsifiers, steady high-effort ...

In contrast to the assumptions of standard economic theory, recent experimental evidence shows that the income of peers has a systematic impact on observed degrees of risk aversion. This paper reports the findings of two experiments examining the impact of income inequality on risk preferences and whether the knowledge of inequality mediates the decisions. In Experiment 1, participants who were recruited ...

Die These, dass chronische Einsamkeitserfahrungen (Vereinsamung) eine Bedrohung für die Stabilität liberaler Gesellschaftsordnungen darstellen kann, geht auf Hannah Arendt zurück. Diese vermutete in ihrem Standardwerk „Elemente und Ursprünge totaler Herrschaft“, dass die Verbreitung tiefsitzender Einsamkeitsempfindungen ein Faktor unter anderen war, der der nationalsozialistischen Bewegung den Weg ...
