A growing literature suggests a remarkable heterogeneity in skills and preferences. Although these heterogeneities play an important role in the determination of life outcomes, little is known about their origins. We propose and validate the breastfeeding duration as measure of early lifecircumstances and explore its effects in the development process of risk, time and social preferences. We do so ...

Eine neue Studie zeigt, dass die Geburt des Nachwuchses die Eltern tatsächlich verändert — jedoch nicht so wie erwartet.

Abstract Providing replication code is an inexpensive way to facilitate reproducibility. However, little is known about the extent of replication code provision. Therefore, we examine the availability of replication code for over 2500 peer-reviewed articles based on the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP), one of the most widely used datasets in economics and other social sciences. We find that only ...

In this paper we estimate the effect of unemployment on informal care provision. For the identification we use plant closures as a source of exogenous variation and combine difference-in-differences with matching based on entropy balancing. The analysis is based on data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP). We find that there is a time conflict between employment and informal care provision. ...

We focus on five domains that are closely interlinked with populist support: globalization, financial crises, migration, inequality, and social mobility. Each domain offers unique insights into how societal shifts, ...
