Studying the Family-Migration-Nexus: State of Research, Knowledge Gaps, and Empirical Perspectives

This introductory chapter begins with a brief outline of key aspects of the current state of research on the family-migration-nexus, subsequently identifying key knowledge gaps. From this, we develop some more general thoughts about the kind of data are needed to fill existing research gaps, and then use the German Emigration and Remigration Panel Study (GERPS) as an example to describe a data set ...

Three Essays on Migration and Family Change

The global population of international migrants has grown significantly over the past several decades—from 153 million in 1990 to 272 million in 2019—while the population of international migrants as the share of the world’s total population has remained quite steady. At the same time, the political importance of migration has increased, especially in the US and Western European countries. As a result, ...

Surprisingly absent! On the earnings penalty of second-generation immigrants in Germany

Whether or not immigrants are well integrated into the labor market in Germany has been the focus of an ongoing public discussion. While there has been a lot of research on the career paths of first-generation immigrants, official statistics do not offer a lot of insight when it comes to the one of the offspring of the first generation. This paper seeks to address this issue for the second generation ...

Sporting Activity, Employment Status and Wage

We propose a structural model of participation to sporty activities and labour supply. We jointly model employment, wage and sporting activity using a dynamic model. We estimate for the period going from 1994 to 1999 a dynamic multivariate model with random effects using the German Socioeconomic panel (GSOEP). The error terms of the equations of the model can be correlated. Each of these error terms ...

The effect of co-ethnic social capital on immigrants' labor market integration: a natural experiment

Empirically identifying the causal effect of social capital on immigrants’ economic prospects is a challenging task due to the non-random residential sorting of immigrants into locations with greater opportunities for prior or co-ethnic connections. Our study addresses this selection-bias issue by using a natural-experimental dataset of refugees and other immigrants who were exogenously allocated to ...

Arme immer ärmer: Studie belegt wachsende Ungleichheit in BRD. Umverteilung durch höheren Mindestlohn und Tarifbindung

Sources of growing labour market inequalities among low-skilled men in Western Germany

We use the German Socio-Economic Panel 1984-2008 to identify the sources of this apparent „polarization“ among unskilled men. We start by confirming that earnings inequality among low-skilled men has grown substantially (measured as earnings over a given three-year period in order to minimize effects of short-term fluctuations). Drawing on economic and sociological theories, we then discuss potential ...

An economical measure of attitudes towards artificial intelligence in work, healthcare, and education (ATTARI-WHE)

Artificial intelligence (AI) has profoundly transformed numerous facets of both private and professional life. Understanding how people evaluate AI is crucial for predicting its future adoption and addressing potential barriers. However, existing instruments measuring attitudes towards AI often focus on specific technologies or cross-domain evaluations, while domain-specific measurement instruments ...
