Adding Household Surveys to the Behavioral Economics Toolbox: Insights from the SOEP Innovation Sample

While laboratory and field experiments are the major items in the toolbox of behavioral economists, household panel studies can complement them and expand their research potential. We introduce the German Socio-Economic Panel’s Innovation Sample (SOEP-IS), which offers researchers detailed panel data and the possibility to collect personalized experimental and survey data for free. We discuss what ...

German Financial State Aid during Covid-19 Pandemic: Higher Impact among Digitalized Self-Employed

Equipping the Offline Population with Internet Access in an Online Panel: Does It Make a Difference?

Online panel surveys are often criticized for their inability to cover the offline population, potentially resulting in coverage error. Previous research has demonstrated that non-internet users in fact differ from online individuals on several sociodemographic characteristics. In attempts to reduce coverage error due to missing the offline population, several probability-based online panels equip ...

A Linear Reduced-Order Model for the Activated Sludge Process for the Integration into a Mixed-Integer Linear Energy System Optimisation Model

Conventional wastewater treatment plants consume significant amounts of electricity. The constant aeration of the wastewater in order to foster the growth of microorganisms or the pumping of wastewater are two examples for energy-intensive processes within a plant. Case studies have shown that switching off blowers and inlet pumps for a certain period of time is possible without a loss in water quality. ...

The Intergenerational Transmission of Risk and Trust Attitudes: Replicating and Extending “Dohmen, Falk, Huffman and Sunde 2012” Using Genetically Informed Twin Data

This replication revisits an influential contribution on the intergenerational transmission of risk and trust attitudes, which, based on data from the German Socioeconomic Panel (GSOEP), reveals a positive correlation between parents' and children's attitudes. The authors of the original study argue that socialization in the family is important in the transmission process. The replication is motivated ...

Assessing the Social and Environmental Impacts of Critical Mineral Supply Chains for the Energy Transition in Europe

Advanced technologies are inherently dependent on critical minerals and their related metals. The mining extraction of these critical minerals leads to significant social and environmental impacts that extend beyond the regions where those advanced technologies are ultimately used. This study explores the global socio-environmental challenges arising from the European Climate Law's aim for net-zero ...

Social Security and Retirement around the World: Lessons from a Long-Term Collaboration

Declining labor force participation of older men throughout the 20th century and recent increases in participation have generated substantial interest in understanding the effect of public pensions on retirement. The National Bureau of Economic Research's International Social Security (ISS) Project, a long-term collaboration among researchers in a dozen developed countries, has explored this and related ...
