In this paper, we investigate whether there are also long-term effects for those born during difficult economic times through the effects on their health behavior. Based on a theoretical model of parental socialization against smoking and using data from the German Socioeconomic Panel, we assess smoking behavior of children ...

In research on the gender wage gap, the consideration of housework has been a milestone. Gender differences in housework time have always been much greater among migrants than among native-born individuals. Based on data obtained from the ...

We exploit local and temporal variation in the availability of public childcare for children under the age of three that induces exogenous variation in childcare attendance.

The estimation of the average treatment effect is interesting – however, possibly masking important effect heterogeneity. Examining selection behavior ...

This paper answers three research questions: What is the impact of fixed-term employment on the well-being of partners? How do these spillover effects differ by gender, and do gender differences depend on socialization in East or West Germany? Do individual well-being, perceived job insecurity, and financial worries mediate the spillover effects? We use longitudinal data from the Socio-Economic Panel ...

Existing research generally confirms a countercyclical education enrollment, whereby youths seek shelter in the educational system to avoid hardships in the labor market: the “discouraged worker” thesis. Alternatively, the “encouraged worker” thesis predicts that economic downturns steer individuals away from education because of higher opportunity costs. This study provides a formal test of these ...

Delayed gratification is associated with myriad desirable outcomes—like eating right and saving money. In this article, I explore whether it also increases political participation. To this end, I provide an explicit decision-theoretic framework, which predicts that less patient individuals are less willing to vote and to donate; these forms of participation are costly before Election Day, but their ...

This article tests these expectations by distinguishing, respectively, between the individual effect of being a union member or covered by collective agreements and the ...
