A personal bankruptcy law that allows for a "fresh start" after bankruptcy reduces the individual risk involved in entrepreneurial activity. On the other hand, as risk shifts to creditors who recover less of their credit after a debtor's bankruptcy, lenders may charge higher interest rates or ration credit supply, which can hamper entrepreneurship. Both aspects of a more forgiving personal...

In the debate on global imbalances, the euro area countries did not receive much attention so far. While the current account is on balance for the entire area, divergences between individual member states have increased since the introduction of the common currency. In this paper, the imbalances are traced to catching up and competitiveness factors using paneleconometric techniques. In line with...

It has been shown that native-migrant gaps in labor market outcomes as well as schooling are surprisingly persistent over migrant generations. We shed more light on this puzzle and address the question at which point(s) in time those developments are initiated. By employing a matching approach, in which we...

This article analyzes the effects of an increase in statutory sick pay from 80 to 100 percent of forgone gross wages in Germany. Difference-in-differences approaches show that the increase in generosity decreased employee attendance by about ten percent or one day per employee per year. Heterogeneity in response behavior was of great importance and employee health its main driver. For employers,...
