Both issues can dramatically affect the quality of analysis results and lead to misleading inferences about the population. Therefore, in three different research articles, I treat methods for the performance of so-called sensitivity ...

Abstract This paper analyzes whether Christian moralities and rules formed differently by Catholics and Protestants impact the likelihood of households becoming over-indebted. We find that over-indebtedness is lower in regions in which Catholics outweigh Protestants, indicating that Catholics' forgiveness culture and stricter enforcement of rules by Protestants serve as explanations for our results. ...

Over the last several decades, a large number of developed countries has not only witnessed a downturn in civic engagement, but has also seen the breakdown of traditional family structures. Despite these coinciding trends, Putnam argues in Bowling alone (2000) that none of the major observed declines in civic engagement can be accounted for by the decline in the traditional family. In this paper, we ...

Job satisfaction has been found to increase with age. However, we still have a very limited understanding of how job satisfaction changes as people approach retirement. This is important as the years before retirement present specific challenges for older workers. We employed a time-to-retirement approach to investigate (i) mean levels of change in job satisfaction in the decade before retirement, ...

This field experiment investigates the causal impact of mothers' perceptions of gender norms on their employment attitudes and labor-supply expectations. We provide mothers of young children in Germany with information about the prevailing gender norm regarding maternal employment in their city. At baseline, over 70% of mothers incorrectly perceive this gender norm as too conservative. Our randomized ...
