The long-term consequences of early school absences for educational attainment and labour market outcomes

Abstract School absences can negatively impact a child's schooling, including the loss of teacher-led lessons, peer interactions, and, ultimately, academic achievement.

In this paper, we used data from the 1970 British Cohort Study to examine long-term associations ...

The keys to the house: How wealth transfers stratify homeownership opportunities

This study investigates how actual and anticipated intergenerational wealth transfers (i.e., inter-vivo gifts and inheritances) contribute to social stratification in the transition to homeownership. Utilizing discrete-time survival analysis on data from the German Socio-Economic Panel Study (N=13,018), we find that individuals whose parents were manual workers or service workers are less likely to ...

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. Using comprehensive survey data, we are able to measure the regional bite of the minimum wage in 2014, just before its introduction, as well as in 2018, before it was raised substantially in several steps. The introduction mainly affected the labour market ...

Auf Grundlage von Daten aus der IAB-BAMF-SOEP-Geflüchteten-Befragung sucht diese Studie nach Erklärungen für die begrenzte Erwerbsbeteiligung von Frauen mit Fluchthintergrund. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass eine Kombination aus niedrigem ...
