Research in social psychology has shown individual variation in the tendency to compare one’s own opinions and abilities with those of other people, raising the question of whether social comparisons are psychological dispositions.

Recently, research on social comparison orientations (SCOs) has shown remarkable inter-individual variation in people’s tendency to compare themselves with others. Whether this variation bears any consequences for social justice research that assumes social comparisons to be a valuable asset in forming images of just earnings is still an unsolved question. This paper takes up this research challenge ...

Education is one of the most frequently used variables in social science research. However, it is challenging to measure educational attainment with a high degree of validity and comparability in migrant surveys.

In the theoretical literature, time and medical services are essential input factors for producing health capital. Based on the idea that individuals can influence their health through health investments, we use a multi-level approach to consider the role of health relevant behaviour in the health production process. We assume that besides medical services, health relevant be-haviour and outcomes are ...

The importance of the physician-patient relationship for the health care market is beyond controversy. Recent work emphasizes a two-sided asymmetric information relationship between physician and patient. In contrast to most work looking only at the physician’s perspective, our paper concentrates on the patient’s view. Estimation results support the hypotheses that physician consultation and health ...

The insurer chooses the coverage level and therefore the level of patient's cost sharing and decides on his ...
