While left and right are the main terms to distinguish political views in Western Europe, the family socialization of citizens has mainly been studied in terms of partisan preferences rather than identification with these ideological blocks. Therefore, this study investigates the intergenerational transmission of left-right ideological positions in two European multiparty systems. To investigate expectations ...

Even three decades after the end of communism in Eastern Europe, there are still observable differences in financial risk and time preferences compared to Western Europe. Using data from two large-scale surveys – one including European countries (INTRA) and one for West and East Germany (SOEP) – we show that the causes of these differences are not the same: While differences in loss aversion and patience ...

We use quasi-experimental expansion of publicly funded childcare slots for children under the age of three from Germany and exploit regional variations of this large-scale expansion to account for endogenous and selective fertility decisions. To account for left and right censoring, we implement this quasi-experimental framework into the setting of the semiparametric Cox hazard model. By using spatial ...

Downgrading leads to immigrants receiving lower returns to the same skills than natives. The level of downgrading could depend on the type of immigrant and numerous factors. This study examines the determinants of skill downgrading ...

Der Vergleich der deutschen Durchschnittsfamilie im Jahr 2020 mit der fünfzig Jahre früher lässt die Unterschiede deutlich zu Tage treten. Modernen Familien sind diverser und weniger stabil, Fertilitäts und Heiratsraten sind gesunken, die meisten Mütter arbeiten zumindest in Teilzeit und Ansichten über Geschlechterrollen sind zunehmend egalitärer. In Deutschland stieg das Alter der Frauen bei der ersten ...

Hintergrund: Eine hinreichend hohe Immunität gegen COVID-19 wird offenbar nur durch freiwillige Impfungen in Deutschland nicht erreicht werden. Eine allgemeine Impfpflicht wird daher weiterhin erwogen. Wir präsentieren Ergebnisse zu ihrer Akzeptanz in der Bevölkerung Deutschlands und berichten, wie Zustimmung und Ablehnung begründet wird und sich nach Bevölkerungsgruppen unterscheidet. Methode: Wir ...
