Im Verlauf des 20. Jahrhunderts haben Regierungen die Regulierung von Mietpreisen häufig eingesetzt, um insbesondere in Krisenzeiten auch bei knappem Wohnraum Mieten bezahlbar zu halten.

In most cross-national research on Life Satisfaction (LS) an implicit assumption appears to be that the correlates of LS are the same the world over; ‘one size fits all’. Using data from the World Values Survey (1999–2014), we question this assumption by assessing the effects of differing personal values/life priorities on LS in five world regions: the West, Latin America, the Asian-Confucian region, ...

While the shift of systemic risks from the community to the individual is a distinctive trait of modernity, research on the consequences of this process has focused almost exclusively on welfare state responses aimed at re-collectivizing societal risks.

Ein wesentlicher Bestandteil unternehmerischen Handelns ...

Being unemployed has a significant ...

This paper analyzes whether technological change improves equality of labor market opportunities by decreasing returns to parental background. We find that in Germany during the 1990s, computerization improved the access to technologyadopting occupations for workers with low-educated parents, and reduced their wage penalty within these occupations. We also show that this significantly contributed to ...
