  • Revealed: Why you should stay SINGLE in your 20s, according to scientists

    Staying single in young adulthood may help build resiliency. Breakups weren't as devastating for young adults who had lived alone. Both men and women experienced the benefits of being single in their 20s.

  • Technological Change and Returns to Training

    Do returns to training differ if training is accompanied by technological innovations at the workplace? We analyze this potential heterogeneity of returns based on panel data from Germany that provide a unique measure for individuals’ adoption of new technology at the workplace. In the preferred analysis we run fixed effects stimations. As a robustness test we also allow for individual time trends. ...

  • Bias in Tax Progressivity Estimates

    Tax progressivity is central in public and political debates when questions of vertical equity are raised. Applied, structural research demands a simple way to capture it. A power function approximation delivers one parameter that captures the residual income elasticity — a summary measure of progressivity. This approximation is accurate, tractable, and interpretable, and hence immensely popular. The ...

  • Gender gap dynamics among refugees and recent immigrants: different start, similar patterns?

    In the last years, the labor market integration of immigrant women has received much attention in the migration literature. We examine gender differences in labor market integration among refugees and other new immigrants who came to Germany during a similar period from a dynamic perspective. Using two panel data sources, which include recently arrived refugees (the IAB-BAMF-SOEP Sample of Refugees) ...

  • Do Wind Turbines Have Adverse Health Impacts?

    While wind power is considered key in the transition towards net zero, there are concerns about adverse health impacts on nearby residents. Based on precise geographical coordinates, we link a representative longitudinal household panel to all wind turbines in Germany and exploit their staggered rollout over two decades for identification. We do not find evidence of negative effects on general, mental, ...

  • Echoes of the Past: The Enduring Impact of Communism on Contemporary Freedom of Speech Values

    This paper studies the long-term consequences of communism on present-day freedom of expression values in two settings – East Germany and the states linked to the sphere of influence of the former USSR. Exploiting the natural experiment of German separation and later reunification, we show that living under communism has had lasting effects on free speech opinions. While free speech salience has increased ...

  • Prejudice in Disguise: Which Features Determine the Subtlety of Ethnically Prejudicial Statements?

    In current immigration debates ethnic prejudice is often expressed in a subtle manner, which conceals its xenophobic content. However, previous research has only insufficiently examined the specific features that make certain ethnically prejudicial statements subtler, i.e., less readily identifiable as xenophobic, than others. The current study employs an experimental factorial survey design and assesses ...

  • Are Senior Entrepreneurs Happier than Who? The Role of Income and Health

    We propose an extension of the standard occupational choice model to analyze the life satisfaction of senior entrepreneurs as compared to paid employees and particularly retirees in Germany. The analysis identifies income and health status as main factors that shape the relationship between occupational status and life satisfaction. Senior entrepreneurs enjoy higher levels of life satisfaction than ...

  • The retirement mortality puzzle: Evidence from a regression discontinuity design

    I estimate the effect of retirement on mortality, exploiting two discontinuities at age-based eligibility thresholds for pension claiming in Germany. The analysis is based on unique social security records that document the age at death for the universe of participants in the German public pension system. Using variation from bunching of retirements at age-based eligibility thresholds, I demonstrate ...

  • Minimum Wage Non-Compliance: The Role of Co-Determination

    We analyse in what way co-determination affects non-compliance with the German minimum wage, which was introduced in 2015. The Works Constitution Act (WCA), the law regulating co-determination at the plant level, provides works councils with indirect means to ensure compliance with the statutory minimum wage. Based on this legal situation, our theoretical model predicts that non-compliance is less ...
