Understanding the psychological nature and development of the individual entrepreneur is at the core of contemporary entrepreneurship research.

This thesis is divided into two parts, each consisting of two self-contained chapters. The first part provides new findings in the economics of personality, and well-being. Chapter 1 studies the implications of ‘personality mismatch’. Mismatch in labour economics has generally been treated as a ‘black box’. Therefore, the well-being impact on a poorly matched worker is not well understood. I find that ...

11,9 Milliarden Euro gaben Bund und Länder im Jahr 2014 für die Beamtenbeihilfe aus. Bis zum Jahr 2030 wird ein Anstieg auf 20,4 Milliarden Euro prognostiziert. Die Kostenspirale ließe sich stoppen, wenn die Beihilfe abgeschafft würde und Beamte gesetzlich pflichtversichert würden. Zu diesen Ergebnissen kommt unsere aktuelle Untersuchung.

Die CDU/CSU schlägt in ihrem Wahlprogramm unter dem Stichwort Familiensplitting vor, das Kindergeld um 35 Euro pro Monat zu erhöhen und den Kinderfreibetrag auf die Höhe des Grundfreibetrags für Erwachsene anzuheben. Dies würde nach Berechnung des DIW Berlin Familien mit Kindern durchschnittlich um rund 700 Euro pro Jahr entlasten. Die Entlastung steigt mit dem Einkommen. Im untersten Zehntel (Dezil) ...

In contrast to the existing literature we consider parental experiences until the children graduate from school. In addition, the effects of the regional economic environment during teacher's decision about the secondary school track are analyzed. Using data drawn from the German Socio-Economic ...

In this study, we examine how economic performance during the child-specific primary school phase, during which teachers make recommendations regarding secondary school level, affects the educational level achieved ultimately by these children. Using data for Germany, we find that an economic downturn, coupled with increased unemployment, affects children's education attainment negatively. In ...
