Although everyone would agree that bereavement is extremely stressful, surprisingly little is known about changes in different facets of affective well-being in the years surrounding the death of a loved one.

We examine how changes in task content over time condition occupational wage development. Using survey data from Germany, we document substantial heterogeneity in within-occupational changes in task content. Combining this evidence with administrative data on individual employment outcomes over a 25-year period, we find important heterogeneity in wage penalties amongst initially routine intensive jobs. ...

We analyze if technological progress and the corresponding change in the occupational structure have improved the relative position of women in the labour market. We show that the share of women rises most strongly in non-routine cognitive and manual occupations, but declines in routine occupations. While the share of women also rises relatively strongly in high-paying occupations, womens' individual-level ...

SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus, spread across Germany within just a short period of time. Seroepidemiological studies are able to estimate the proportion of the population with antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 infection (seroprevalence) as well as the level of undetected infections, which are not captured in official figures. In the seroepidemiological study Corona Monitoring Nationwide (RKI-SOEP-2), biospecimens ...

Health shocks limit individuals’ participation in the labor market and pose a major risk to household welfare. In this paper, we derive two novel health shock indicators using machine learning based on sick days and hospitalizations: one for transitory and one for persistent shocks. In an event study framework, we show their respective effects on employment, yearly working hours, and labor earnings, ...

Kinder wachsen und verändern sich ganz offensichtlich im Laufe der Zeit, aber nicht nur sie. Menschen verändern sich über ihre gesamte Lebensspanne. Empirisch belegt ist, dass sich auch die Persönlichkeit von Erwachsenen (d.h.: Offenheit für Erfahrungen, Gewissenhaftigkeit, Extraversion, Verträglichkeit, Neurotizismus) und ihr soziales Leben (z.B.: Größe des sozialen Netzwerks) bis ins hohe Alter verändern. ...

Public opinion climates on immigrants are subject to certain dynamics. This study examines two mechanisms for such dynamics in Western EU member states for the 2002–2018 period. First, the impact of cohort replacement and, second, the impact of periodic threat perceptions, namely, changing macroeconomic conditions and shifts in immigration rates. To date, empirical research on anti-immigrant sentiments ...

We analyse the causal effect of education on patience (also known as time preference) and risk willingness using the German compulsory schooling reform, which took effect in West Germany after World War II. This reform increased compulsory schooling from 8 years to 9 years. We use two-stage least squares to obtain causal effects. In line with the literature, the results show a positive effect of education ...
