  • The Right to Part-Time: Practical Implications from the Managerial Point of View

    In 2001 the employee’s right to reduce working-time according to their own preferences was implemented in Germany. This legal title hardly effects the slowly but steadily growing number of part-time jobs. Nevertheless, data from the socioeconomic panel suggest that about 25% of employees wish to reduce their workingtime even if this is associated with a loss of income. The HR-manager is seen as a mediator ...

  • Same Same but Different – Changing Career Expectations in Germany?

    Contemporary career research assumes more flexible career patterns implying increased job mobility. However, there is growing doubt that the proclaimed change is as drastic as has been suggested. We provide empirical evidence on career expectations in Germany between 1999 and 2009, arguing that objective career mobility is both a) mirrored by and b) a consequence of such expectations. Using data from ...

  • A quarter of a century of job transitions in Germany

    By examining trends in intra-organizational and inter-organizational job transition probabilities among professional and managerial employees in Germany, we test the applicability of mainstream career theory to a specific context and challenge its implied change assumption. Drawing on data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP), we apply linear probability models to show the influence of time, ...

  • Duration of unemployment in Germany and the UK: A case study of nonparametric hazard models and penalized spines (mimeo)

    The paper investigates unemployment behaviour in Germany and the UK between 1995 and 2005 based on data from national panel studies.

Dynamic duration time models are used in which covariate effects are allowed to vary smoothly with unemployment duration. The intention of the paper ...

  • Triggers and determinants of severe household indebtedness in Germany

    The phenomenon of overindebted private households has created economic and political concern, also in Germany. Using measures of relative (over-) indebtedness which relate household income and debt services to different concepts of subsistence level, this paper investigates the question whether severe household indebtedness is mainly driven by trigger events such as unemployment, childbirth, divorce, ...
