Mature female entrepreneurs represent a non-traditional model of self-employed workers in both ways: in terms of gender and age. The transition into self-employment for women aged 45 years and older represents a topic of aging research that still tends to be overlooked. Previous studies found ambivalent results for the issue regarding motives and entrepreneurial pathways between former employmen or ...

Although gains and losses are an integral part of human development, the experience of change and readjustment that often comes with major life events may be particularly influential for an individual's subjective aging experience and awareness of age-related change (AARC). Thus, this study focused on the role of life events in the domains of family and health for an individual's awareness ...

The extent and complexity of climate change can hardly be described in a few words. However, for a large part of the scientific community, one thing is certain: the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions quickly. Yet, we are still emitting too much compared to the economically optimal path. This thesis studies the political economy of climate change and contains three essays to understand this so-called ...

Can right-wing terrorism increase support for far-right populist parties, and if so, why? Exploiting quasi-random variation between successful and failed attacks across German municipalities, we find that successful attacks lead to significant increases in the vote share for the right-wing, populist Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party. Our results are predominantly observable in state (Bundesland) ...

Etwa 6 Prozent der Haushalte in deutschen Großstädten leben in tendenziell zu kleinen Wohnungen, besonders häufig sind Haushalte mit Migrationshintergrund und Familien betroffen.

Time-stability of preferences is a crucial assumption in economics. We develop a novel test-retest method to examine the stability of risk preferences over time, while quantifying the importance of both idiosyncratic shocks and measurement error. Using eight large, representative datasets from developing and developed countries, we find risk preferences to be unstable in developing countries. In contrast, ...

Eine Untersuchung anhand der Daten des Sozio-Oekonomischen Panels und der Deutschen Rentenversicherung zeigt, dass vor allem Personen mit einem mittleren Haushaltseinkommen ...

Justice evaluations are proposed to provide a link between the objective level of inequality and the consequences at the individual and societal level. Available instruments, however, focus on the subjective perception of inequality and income distributions. In light of findings that subjective perceptions of inequality and income levels can be biased and subject to method effects, we present the newly ...

The way women hold assets within couples (solely or jointly) is a crucial dimension of their economic situation. This study examines the distribution of women’s assets within married couples and how the interplay of their employment and marriage biographies is related to their asset holdings in later life. Using data from the Socio-Economic Panel Study (SOEP; 2002, 2007, 2012, 2017), the author applies ...
