Ostracism Experiences of Sexual Minorities: Investigating Targets’ Experiences and Perceptions by Others

Lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) people face frequent discrimination, maltreatment, and violence for transgressing gender roles upheld in heteronormative societies.

In a multi-method approach using a nationally representative panel (N = 4104) and experience sampling data (N ...

On the Extent, Correlates, and Consequences of Reporting Bias in Survey Wages

Surveys are an indispensable source of data for applied economic research; however, their reliance on self-reported information can introduce bias, especially if core variables such as personal income are misreported. To assess the extent and impact of this misreporting bias, we compare self-reported wages from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) with administrative wages from social security records ...

Long-term employment effects of the minimum wage in Germany: New data and estimators

We investigate the long-term effects of the introduction of the German minimum wage in 2015 and its subsequent increases on regional employment.

The introduction mainly affected the labour market ...

Matching on Gender and Sexual Orientation

We study the mating patterns of non-heterosexual individuals, who represent a significant and increasing portion of the population, particularly among the youth. We estimate a multidimensional matching model of the marriage market where partner's gender is endogenously chosen conditional on the agent's sexual orientation, and is subject to trade-offs that depend on both the agents' preferences ...

The size of this migration and the skills make-up of those migrating is likely to have wide reaching economic impacts on not just the countries where ...

Subsidized Small Jobs and Maternal Labor Market Outcomes in the Long Run

This paper investigates whether incentives generated by public policies contribute to motherhood penalties. Specifically, we study the consequences of subsidized small jobs, the German Minijobs, which are frequently taken up by first-time mothers upon labor market return. Using a combination of propensity score matching and an event study applied to administrative data, we compare the long-run child ...
