  • Biographical Consequences of Teenage Motherhood in Germany

    It is commonly held that teenage motherhood negatively impacts the mother’s further life course. This paper deals with the question of the consequences teenage motherhood has on the long run for the young mother’s educational and employment career as well as for partnership stability. To explore the research questions linear and logistic regressions based on the SOEP (1984 – 2009) are conducted. In ...

  • Who Dares, Wins? - A sibling analysis of tertiary education transition in Germany

    Past studies have found that parental background has a considerable impact on educational decisions. Our knowledge is, however, still limited regarding educational transitions later in life, such as into tertiary education. Is parental background a predominant factor in this relatively late educational decision, or do individual talent and determination have an impact of their own? We address this ...

  • Residential mobility in East and West Germany: mobility rates, mobility reasons, reurbanization

    Before unification, the processes of residential mobility in East and West Germany were very different, and remarkable variations in mobility still persisted until the mid 1990s. Following a wave of residential suburbanization and of heavy residential construction, as well as refurbishments in the new Länder during the second half of the 1990s, mobility rates strongly increased in East Germany. After ...

  • Health-Related Life Cycle Risks and Public Insurance

    This paper proposes a dynamic life cycle model of health risks, employment, early retirement, and wealth accumulation in order to analyze the health-related risks of consumption and old age poverty. In particular, the model includes a health process, the interaction between health and employment risks, and an explicit modeling of the German public insurance schemes. I rely on a dynamic programming ...

  • Spillover Effects of Maternal Education on Child’s Health and Health Behavior

    This study investigates the effects of maternal education on child’s health and health behavior. We draw on a rich German panel data set containing information about three generations. This allows instrumenting maternal education by the number of her siblings while conditioning on grandparental characteristics. The instrumental variables approach has not yet been used in the intergenerational context ...

  • The role of time preferences in educational decision making

    We analyze the implication of time-inconsistent preferences in educational decision making and corresponding policies using a structural dynamic choice model. We make two important research contributions. First, we estimate our model using data from the German Socioeconomic Panel (soep) and provide quantitative evidence for time-inconsistent behavior in educational decision making. Second, we evaluate ...

  • Indirect Sampling: A Review of Theory and Recent Applications

    Survey practitioners regularly face the task to draw a sample from a (sub-) population for which no sampling frame exists. Indirect sampling might be a way out in such situations, given that connections exist between the target population and another population for which probability sampling is feasible. While the theory of indirect sampling originated in the context of household panel studies, a wider ...
