We provide evidence on the transmission of oil price movements to individual incomes for a large oil-importing economy. To do so, we trace the footprint of oil price surprises on the income elements of a representative household panel for Germany. An inflationary oil price shock persistently increases the likelihood of unemployment and leads to a sticky decline in contracted labour incomes even though ...

Job satisfaction is sensitive to economic fluctuations; it rises during economic growth and falls in recessions. Job satisfaction also depends on relative comparisons.

What role do border regions play in fostering a European identity? The European Union considers them relevant places of integration and has dedicated €10 billion to cross-border co-operation between 2014 and 2020.
