To identify causal effects, it explores hypotheses concerning how physical and mental health deterioration gain additional momentum with a longer duration of unemployment. In contrast, mere selection into unemployment implies time-constant effects ...

These fast-track programs are designed to accommodate high-performing students who want a faster learning pace than the average student. In general, both educational performance and choice depend on class origin, ethnicity, and gender, according to research. Therefore, in studying the probability ...

Over the last several decades, a large number of developed countries has not only witnessed a downturn in civic engagement, but has also seen the breakdown of traditional family structures. Despite these coinciding trends, Putnam argues in Bowling alone (2000) that none of the major observed declines in civic engagement can be accounted for by the decline in the traditional family. In this paper, we ...

Job satisfaction has been found to increase with age. However, we still have a very limited understanding of how job satisfaction changes as people approach retirement. This is important as the years before retirement present specific challenges for older workers. We employed a time-to-retirement approach to investigate (i) mean levels of change in job satisfaction in the decade before retirement, ...

This field experiment investigates the causal impact of mothers' perceptions of gender norms on their employment attitudes and labor-supply expectations. We provide mothers of young children in Germany with information about the prevailing gender norm regarding maternal employment in their city. At baseline, over 70% of mothers incorrectly perceive this gender norm as too conservative. Our randomized ...

The four-day-week receives growing attention by companies, researchers, and governments. A core premise of the concept is that reducing working hours increases individual well-being. While trials in public and private organisations support this claim, empirical studies on the relationship between working hours and well-being do not offer conclusive evidence. This study contributes to the academic literature ...

Empirical evidence on the causal effect of perceived economic uncertainty (PEU) on fertility is sparse and results are ambiguous. To provide causal evidence on the effect of PEU on fertility, we exploit exogenous variation in PEU induced by the announcement of a major German unemployment benefit reform in an instrumental variable approach. Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel, we estimate ...

This paper examines the association between the level of similarity in the “Big Five” personality traits of the partners in different-sex couples and their risk of union dissolution. Prior research has mainly focused on homogamy in socio-economic, demographic, and cultural characteristics, such as age, education, employment, and religion. The few studies on the effects of homogamy in the personalities ...
