  • Personality Traits, Self-Employment, and Professions

    We investigate the effect of broad personality traits - the Big Five - on an individual’s decision to become self-employed.

  • Welfare-related health inequality: does the choice of measure matter?

    Using representative microdata from the German Socio-Economic Panel Study (SOEP), we show that the welfare measure choice has a substantial impact on the degree of welfare-related health inequality. To assess the sensitivity of welfare-related health inequality measures, we combine a unique set of income and wealth measures with different subjective, cardinalized, and (quasi-)objective health measures. ...
