As the policy debate on entrepreneurship increasingly centers on firm growth in terms of job creation, it is important to understand whether the personality of entrepreneurs drives the first hiring in their firms.

The outbreak of COVID-19 has sparked a sudden demand for fast, frequent and accurate data on the societal impact of the pandemic. This demand has highlighted a divide in survey data collection: Most probability-based social surveys, which can deliver the necessary data quality to allow valid inference to the general population, are slow, infrequent and ill-equipped to survey people during a lockdown. ...

Die Maßnahmen zur Eindämmung des Corona-Virus haben Familien vor große Herausforderungen gestellt, insbesondere durch die vorübergehenden (Teil-)Schließungen von Kitas und Schulen. Während viele Studien bisher darauf fokussierten, wie die zusätzliche Sorgearbeit zwischen Müttern und Vätern aufgeteilt wurde, untersucht dieser Beitrag Auswirkungen auf die Ansichten zu Geschlechterrollen. Konkret wird ...

In this paper, we provide novel evidence on the effect of local unemployment rate on life satisfaction. With this, we contribute to the expanding literature that aims to understand the role of the local labor market's conditions for individual well-being. This information can be used to only analyze the impact of regional economic policies, as well as to understand individuals' behavior and ...

Berlins Regierender Bürgermeister Michael Müller hat sich für die Einführung eines solidarischen Grundeinkommens ausgesprochen. Ein solches, durch öffentliche Mittel finanziertes Grundeinkommen soll an die Aufnahme einer „gesellschaftlich relevanten“ Erwerbstätigkeit geknüpft werden. Ziel der Initiative ist, künftig „Teilhabe“ statt „Ausschluss“ zu finanzieren, und den Zusammenhalt in Zeiten von Modernisierung ...

Die Wohnkostenbelastung von Haushalten ist in den vergangenen Jahren in vielen europäischen Ländern deutlich angestiegen (Inchauste et al. 2018; Pittini 2012). Insbesondere in wachsenden Städten und Metropolregionen ist leistbarer Wohnraum knapp (ebd.; Schönig et al. 2017a). Für Haushalte mit niedrigem und mittlerem Einkommen wird es zunehmend schwieriger, erschwinglichen Wohnraum in zentrumsnahen ...

Grandparents act as the third largest caregiver after parental care and daycare in Germany, as in many Western societies. Adopting a double-generation perspective, we investigate the causal impact of this care mode on children's health, socio-emotional behavior, and school outcomes, as well as parental well-being. Based on representative German panel data sets, and exploiting arguably exogenous ...
