  • The bigger the children, the bigger the worries – Are preschoolers and adolescents affected differently by family instability with regard to non-cognitive skills?

    Substantial research on the relationship between family structures and child outcomes represents a considerable part of the literature. However, family structure provides a rather static view of the relationship of children’s living arrangements and their well-being, revealing hardly anything about the stability of a family for a longer period.

  • How Accurate are German Work-time Data? A Comparison of Time-diary Reports and Stylized Estimates

    This study compares work time data collected by the German Time Use Survey (GTUS) using the diary method with stylized work time estimates from the GTUS, the German Socio-Economic Panel, and the German Microcensus. Although on average the differences between the time-diary data and the interview data is not large, our results show that significant deviations exist between these two techniques for certain ...

  • Job Insecurity, Employability, and Health: An Analysis for Germany across Generations

    In this article, we use 12 waves of the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP) to examine the relationship between job insecurity, employability and health-related well-being. Our results indicate that being unemployed has a strong negative effect on life satisfaction and health. They also, however, highlight the fact that this effect is most prominent among individuals over the age of 40. A second observation ...

Fixed effects and dynamic linear models are estimated, which, together with the longitudinal nature of the data, enable person-specific ...
