Second, they learned about the risk of infection through their own experience and the experience of others.

Germany is characterised by a remarkable history of labour migration, particularly since World War II. The country experiences regional economic disparities, manifested in varying income inequality levels, employment prospects, economic development and infrastructure.

Perceived expectations for active aging (PEAA) reflect subjective exposure to social expectations about staying active and fit in old age, for example, by maintaining health and social engagement. We investigated whether motivational and personality factors were related to PEAA in the domains of physical health, mental health, and social engagement. We used a nationally representative sample of German ...

We provide evidence on the transmission of oil price movements to individual incomes for a large oil-importing economy. To do so, we trace the footprint of oil price surprises on the income elements of a representative household panel for Germany. An inflationary oil price shock persistently increases the likelihood of unemployment and leads to a sticky decline in contracted labour incomes even though ...

Methods Based on 47 interviews with 42 ASR in Germany originating from three different studies, ...
