Do Concerns about Immigration Change after Adolescence? How Education and Critical Life Events Affect Concerns about Immigration

This study investigates whether critical life events that typically occur during early adulthood (i.e., labor market entry, unemployment, parenthood) impact concerns about immigration. Two mechanisms suggest that these critical life events lead to a widening of education-specific differences: First, the amplification of ethnic competition following critical life events may be more pronounced for individuals ...

Wer bezieht Grundsicherung im Alter? – Eine empirische Analyse der Nichtinanspruchnahme

Marriage Market and Labor Market Sorting

We build a novel equilibrium model in which households' labor supply choices form the link between sorting on the marriage market and sorting on the labor market.

We then estimate ...

By inducing a reallocation of time, the transition into DST deteriorates ...

Intra-Household Decision-Making: New Evidence from the Innovation Sample of the German Socioeconomic Panel

Our rst main nding is that most households in our sample (72%) split private consumption equally between partners, ...

Die Rolle der Betriebsvermögen in der Vermögensverteilung

Seit Jahren stehen die Verteilung und Konzentration der Vermögen im Zentrum vieler Debatten. Besondere Aufmerksamkeit erlangen die Debatten nicht nur dadurch, dass die Vermögen ungleicher verteilt sind als die Einkommen; sondern mit der Verfügbarkeit länderübergreifender Vermögensdaten der Europäischen Zentralbank ist auch der Befund zutage getreten, dass die Vermögensungleichheit in Deutschland im ...
