We draw from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP), focusing on individuals aged 25 to 55 at the time of their first observed health shock. After the health shock, we find that affected individuals suffer a persistent loss in annual gross labor income of around 4,000 ...

On their way to host countries, refugees are often exposed to severe adversity, including cumulative experiences of fraud, extortion, robbery, detention, and shipwrecks, as well as prolonged, life-threatening small boat crossings. However, little research has examined the long-term impact of such peri-migration stressors on subsequent stress and mental health after arrival. This study explored how ...

In this article we replicate major parts of this study by applying similar methods but now to an extended panel ...

Since the beginning of the pandemic, there has been a suspicion that the health burden would fall mainly on population ...

Unemployment consistently lowers life satisfaction on average, yet the individual impact of job loss varies significantly. The underlying factors driving this heterogeneity remain a subject of ongoing research. Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel, we demonstrate a compelling link between unemployment and loneliness, suggesting that a substantial portion of unemployment’s detrimental impact ...
