  • Do investors respond to tax reform? Evidence from a natural experiment in Germany

    We present new evidence for the importance of taxation in households' investment decisions. A difference-in-difference analysis shows that a tax reform in Germany which revoked the tax exemption of life insurance returns triggered a significant increase in demand prior to the reform.

  • The Empirics of the Median Voter: Democracy, Redistribution and the Role of the Middle Class

    The paper investigates the effectiveness of the median voter as a decisive agent in the process of redistribution. According to the previous literature, it tests several assumptions finding interesting results: The positive relation between inequality and redistribution is confirmed, but the median voter theorem seems not to be the driving force of this mechanism. Even if some results support the median ...

    Dissimilarities between partners in prominent domains of functioning are often thought to be a risk factor for compromised relationship quality and relationship dissolution.

  • Social Mobility and Perceived Discrimination: Adding an Intergenerational Perspective

    This article adds an intergenerational perspective to the study of perceived ethnic discrimination.

Participants (n = 2,854) lived in the same household and were part of a large, nationally representative panel study in Germany. Each partner independently predicted the other’s preferences for several common food items. Results show that predictive ...
