This paper analyzes how people’s subjective well-being adapts to income poverty in Switzerland and Germany and presents two empirical findings. First, financial satisfaction (FS) does not adapt in either country. However, life satisfaction fully adapts in Switzerland but not in Germany.

This paper proposes to test this assumption by investigating whether a specific non-cognitive skill, locus of control, is stable after the occurrence of a health-related event, namely a hospital stay. To do so, we use a representative and longitudinal dataset of individuals living in Germany (SOEP). Our results show ...

To date, PHMR has often relied on male/female stratification, but rarely considers the complex, intersecting social positions of men and women in describing the prevalence of health and disease. Stratification on an Intersectional Gender-Score (IG-Score), which is based on a variety of social covariables, would allow comparison of the prevalence of individuals who share the same complex intersectional ...

Krieg und Verfolgung führen oft dazu, dass Geflüchtete sich nicht ausreichend auf die Migration vorbereiten können. Daher fehlen ihnen häufig wichtige Informationen über berufliche Anforderungen und die Funktionsweise des Arbeitsmarktes in Deutschland. Das kann die Wahrnehmungen und die Einschätzungen von arbeitsuchenden Geflüchteten über Erwerbschancen und erzielbare Löhne verzerren. Dieser Bericht ...

Research on the consequences of works councils has been dominated by economic aspects. Our study provides evidence that works councils have nonfinancial consequences for civic society that go beyond the narrow boundaries of the workplace. Using panel data from a large sample of male workers, the study shows that works councils have an influence on workers' party preferences. The presence of a ...

Income inequality is a central topic for the social sciences. Work on it is often motivated by the idea that inequality implies some welfare loss. Yet, the size of this loss remains an open question. A definite answer would be crucial for economic policy-making. The goal of this paper is to show that the evidential foundations of this debate can be advanced with survey data on wellbeing. For this purpose, ...
