The recent successes of populist radical right (PRR) parties have caused major upheavals across European political landscapes. Yet, the roots of their rising popularity continue to be widely debated. We contribute to these debates by advancing a thus far underexplored argument of rising rent burden as key to understanding contemporary PRR vote and nativist attitudes. Rising rents lie at the heart of ...

Galoppierende Energiepreise setzen private Haushalte zunehmend unter finanziellen Druck. Hierdurch steigt die Gefahr von Energiearmut, die insbesondere Haushalte betrifft, die mehr als 10 % ihres Haushaltsnettoeinkommens für Heizen, Warmwasser und Strom ausgeben. Neue Berechnungen zeigen, dass der Anteil der energiearmutsgefährdeten Haushalte, ohne Berücksichtigung staatlicher Hilfspakete, von 14,5 ...

Many countries subsidize low income employments or small jobs. These subsidies and their phasing out can generate labor market frictions and distort incentives. The German Minijob program subsidizes low income jobs. It generates a 'Minijob trap' with substantial bunching along the earnings distribution. Since 2003, the Midijob subsidy aims to reduce the Minijob-induced notch in the net earnings ...

We present experimental evidence that enabling access to universal early child care for families with lower socioeconomic status (SES) increases maternal labor supply. Our intervention provides families with customized help for child care applications, resulting in a large increase in enrollment among lower-SES families. The treatment increases lower-SES mothers' full-time employment rates by ...

We study socio-economic determinants of parental willingness to vaccinate themselves and their children against COVID-19 in Germany. We find that better educated parents are more likely to vaccinate both themselves as well as their children. Own experience with restrictions due to Corona measures are also positively related to vaccination willingness. Parents who vaccinate themselves and their children ...

Single, separated mothers report lower levels of psychological well-being than partnered mothers. This study examines whether this penalty in well-being results from the burdens of single parenting or from the stress and strain of union dissolution. The data come from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP). Our sample consists of 1919 childless women and mothers who reported a union dissolution. We ...

Prognosen zufolge würde das Erwerbspersonenpotenzial ohne Wanderungen bis 2060 um rund ein Drittel sinken. Zu seiner Stabilisierung ist der deutsche Arbeitsmarkt in den kommenden Jahren vor allem auf die Einwanderung aus Drittstaaten angewiesen. Mit 10 Prozent aller Zuzüge spielt die Einwanderung aus Drittstaaten in Deutschland im Gegensatz zu Einwanderungsländern wie Kanada, Australien und Neuseeland ...

Using long panels of industry-specific offshoring information and subjectively reported well-being datasets mainly from Germany, which is also supported by datasets from the UK and Australia, this paper aims to investigate the relationship between offshoring and workers’ subjective well-being in the source country. We employ panel data fixed-effects models with time-variant personality measures and ...

This thesis presents three essays that address policy-relevant issues in the field of labour economics and migration. While the essays are independent from each other, they offer policy conclusions based on empirical evidence and quasi-experimental designs. Through the lens of quantitive analysis, I investigate how these policies interacted with and affected their own complex environments. In the first ...

Ostracism—being excluded and ignored—is commonly investigated in experimental settings, leaving specific societal risk groups greatly unexplored. Here, we examined whether individuals’ employment status and age affect ostracism frequency and outsider feelings. Using panel data from two countries, we find that especially younger unemployed (vs. younger employed or older unemployed) adults report experiencing ...
