In this article, we introduce the command beyondpareto, which estimates the extreme-value index for distributions that are Pareto-like, that is, whose upper tails are regularly varying and eventually become Pareto. The estimation is based on rank-size regressions, and the threshold value for the upper-order statistics included in the final regression is determined optimally by minimizing the asymptotic ...

This study evaluates the impact of Germany’s 2007 parental leave reform (Elterngeld), which introduced two months of non-transferable leave for fathers. Using a sharp regression discontinuity design (RDD) with longitudinal data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP), the analysis compares families with children born just before and after the policy’s implementation. The reform helped mothers return ...

How does the arrival of a new immigrant group affect earlier generations of immigrants? Do intergroup relations and self-identification among earlier immigrants change? Previous research on ethnic boundaries is usually restricted to a twogroup paradigm and primarily focuses on the majority group's perspective. In contrast, this study analyzes how the arrival of refugees in Germany influenced previous ...

Despite extensive literature on incentives to increase employees’ work performance, economic research on employer-provided non-monetary benefits remains rare. This study investigates the relationship between benefits and employees’ work effort utilizing data from the German Socio-Economic Panel. The analysis is based on data from eleven survey waves from 2006 to 2022 and considers five benefit types: ...

The complex topic of health involves various determinants that impact refugees differently from the general population. Refugees' experience itself serves as a determinant, interacting with individual and socio-economic factors throughout the migratory cycle, making them particularly vulnerable. The theoretical contribution of this study lies in its focus on resilience as a key protective factor ...

Separation, divorce, and repartnering are increasingly common across European societies. These partnership transitions are closely related to individuals' housing careers. For example, after separation, individuals are likely to move out of homeownership and experience a period of elevated residential mobility. However, little is known about the role of repartnering for post-separation housing ...

Numerous studies in recent decades have shown a significant association between familiar socioeconomic status (SES) and child development. Less is known about the cumulative effects of socioeconomic risk factors, which may have a greater impact on child outcomes than single factors, especially in the first years of life. The study utilized latent mixture models to investigate the effects of socioeconomic ...

Parental wealth is a crucial dimension of socioeconomic status (SES) and plays a significant role in the intergenerational transmission of educational advantage. Previous research on the topic has been limited to a small number of countries, and findings on the relationship between parental wealth and educational attainment are hardly comparable across institutional contexts. Furthermore, the specific ...

The household represents a proximal social context whose members can convey various expectations to each other, including expectations for active aging. We used a nationally representative sample (N = 2007, aged 16–94 years) to investigate the household predictors of perceived expectations for active aging (PEAA, i.e., “activation demands” targeting individuals as older adults) in three domains: physical ...

Life course epidemiology explores health disparities over time. The accumulation thesis thereby suggests an add-up of disadvantages, while the adaptation model assumes an adjustment to disadvantageous conditions. Examining the relevance of these accumulation and adaptation processes, the present study analyses continuing exposure to various material and perceived economic factors on self-rated health ...
