A rapid transition from combustion engines to electric vehicles is essential for climate protection in road transport. This report highlights current trends in electric mobility in Germany based on data from the Open Energy Tracker platform. Although new registrations of electric passenger cars and commercial vehicles have recently increased, overall, electric mobility is still developing slowly. Newly ...
The open science movement has gained significant momentum over the past decade, with pre-registration and the use of pre-analysis plans being central to ongoing debates. Combining observational evidence on trends in adoption with survey data from 519 researchers, this study examines the adoption of pre-registration in experimental economics. Pooling statistics from 19 leading journals published between ...
Large-scale socio-economic panel studies aim to document societal trends and public opinions using representative population samples. Despite the profound impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on public and private life across diverse contexts, these studies have rarely addressed the use and evaluation of AI for individual respondents. Therefore, a standardized assessment instrument is introduced ...
What kind of earnings mobility regime defines our society? Are individuals’ earnings trajectories primarily shaped by their social class position, or do trajectories vary within them? These unresolved questions lie at the heart of debates on social class and labor market rewards. To address them, we leverage employment relations theory and data from the German Socio-Economic Panel. We use mixed effects ...
Research has conceptualized system justification as an overall perception of legitimacy of the status quo. However, there is mixed evidence to determine whether individuals construe political systems and values that uphold them as part of such status quo. We reasoned that if individuals construe the status quo as encompassing the political system and its values in the United States, system justification ...
Using long running panel data spanning at least 15 years from Australia, Germany and the UK, this study investigates longitudinal age–wellbeing trajectories by the Big Five personality traits. We estimate within person (fixed effects) models separately for each country and for low/high trait subgroups, producing 30 distinct trajectories. Across all subgroups, we found the same ageing pattern: a decline ...
