This study documents that worker-level variation in tasks has played a key role in the widening of the German Native-Foreign Wage Gap. I find idiosyncratic differences account for up to 34 per cent of the wage gap. Importantly, natives specialize in high-paying interactive activities not only between, but also within occupations. In contrast, foreign workers specialize in low-paying manual activities. ...

This paper is the first to empirically study the relationship between spatial distributions of labor market inspections and noncompliance with Germany's minimum-wage law. Combining novel administrative data with large-scale longitudinal survey data, we document that the inspection probability is higher in regions with higher noncompliance. This implies risk-based allocation of the inspection efforts ...

We present new empirical evidence on the distribution of earnings, income and wealth among entrepreneurs in Germany. We document that both earnings and income are more concentrated among entrepreneurs than among workers and describe a large-scale overlapping-generations model that replicates the age-earnings profiles of these two household types. As an application, we compute the equilibrium effects ...

Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP, 1994–2017), we investigate how 10-year career sequences, which can be grouped into distinct career patterns, relate to cumulative labor market income. We utilize propensity score matching to compare standard career sequences, consisting of continuous full-time permanent work, to stepping stone career sequences, characterized by initial periods ...

A significant share of employees in Europe has less formal training than is required by their job; they are undereducated. We use harmonized panel data from the United Kingdom and Germany to investigate the skills and resources allowing the undereducated to develop careers in occupations supposedly beyond their reach. Our theoretical approach complements individual-centered labor market theory with ...

Es gibt einige empirische Untersuchungen, die darauf hinweisen, dass arbeitsbezogene Wechsel innerhalb der Berufslaufbahn zunehmen und Karrierepfade somit deutlich mobiler werden. Arbeitsbezogene Wechsel sind hierbei alle inter- und intra-organisationalen Übergänge in der individuellen Berufslaufbahn. Die vorliegende Dissertation untersucht den Zusammenhang zwischen Berufslaufbahnen, die von solchen ...

In health services research, endogenous healthcare utilization refers to the notion that the choice of utilizing health services is endogenous due to its correlation with the intensity of utilization outcomes, such as the number of emergency room visits. Greene in (Empir Econ 36:133–173, 2009) extended four conventional two-part models for zero-abundant count utilization to the two-part models that ...

Life course events such as new offspring or job loss affect a household’s demand for housing. At the same time, dynamics in the real estate market constrain where households find affordable housing. In a quasi-experimental design, this study examines the effect of increasing local housing prices on the relocation behaviour of low- and medium-income households. Difference-in-difference panel regressions ...
