    The impact of heat exposure on the well-being of urban residents (with Felix Zwies)

    Climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of heat events. Understanding the impact of heat exposure is crucial due to its wide-ranging economic and social consequences, including increased energy demand, healthcare costs, reduced labor productivity, and exacerbation of social inequities in urban areas. In this context, the project's objective is to investigate the impact of heat...

    Younger than ever? How adult development and aging have changed over the past decades

    The talk provides a hopefully not too selective bird’s eye perspective on research revolving around the role of historical change for adult development and aging. Walking in the footsteps of Baltes and Smith, Gerstorf will first summarize the scientifically good news that over the past decades age and aging have become younger in a number of different areas of people’s behaviors and experiences....

    Spousal death, mental health and survivor benefits

    This paper investigates the mental health consequences of spousal death and the role of survivor benefits in mitigating these effects. Using Dutch administrative data and a staggered difference-in-differences, we first document a significant increase in the consumption of benzodiazepines - a proxy for deteriorating mental health - following widowhood (up to +3 percentage points, or +30%, in the...

    Life Events and Life Satisfaction: Estimating Effects of Multiple Life Events in Combined Models

    How do life events affect life satisfaction? Previous studies focused on a single event or separate analyses of several events. However, life events are often grouped non-randomly over the lifespan, occur in close succession, and are causally linked, raising the question of how to best analyze them jointly. Here, we used representative German data (SOEP; N = 40,121individuals; n = 41,402 event occurrences) ...

    Cognitive Abilities and Economic Preferences: Evidence from Genetic and Behavioral Data

    An influential body of economic literature has consistently shown strong associations between cognitive abilities and economic preferences. However, much of this research has overlooked the potential endogeneity of cognitive abilities - an oversight given that these abilities stem from a series of investment decisions influenced by factors likely correlated with economic preferences. To address...
