Motherhood penalties vary strongly across societal contexts. While most studies that aim to explain such differences focus on institutions, a smaller literature refers to the influence of cultural norms or a complex interaction between the two. Empirically, however, it is yet unclear if such norms play a role and how they—jointly with institutions—contribute to motherhood penalties. We make use of ...

Unter den Folgen der Corona-Pandemie leiden viele Menschen. Geflüchtete gehören jedoch in vielen gesellschaftlichen Bereichen zu einer der am schlechtesten gestellten Gruppen. Sie leben überdurchschnittlich häufig in beengten Wohneinrichtungen wie Gemeinschaftsunterkünften und sind dadurch einem erhöhten Infektionsrisiko ausgesetzt. Gleichzeitig waren sie schon vor der Pandemie überproportional häufig ...

In this paper I use German panel data spanning across 33 years from 1984 until 2017 including over 50,000 individuals. The main contribution of this paper is the analysis of the effect of parenthood on women’s and men’s earnings using propensity score matching. I estimate the ...

Involuntarily or planned – many refugees flee their home country alone, leave behind spouses and children but also siblings, parents and other family members they otherwise care for. Reunification in hosting communities is difficult, as governments limit institutional family reunifications and the individual journey of kin is dangerous and often illegal. Having family abroad is mentally distressing ...

The job polarization hypothesis suggests a U-shaped pattern of employment growth along the earnings/skill distribution, which is driven by simultaneous growth in the employment of highskill/high-earnings and low-skill/low-earnings occupations due to Routine-Biased Technological Change (RBTC) [Acemoglu and Autor, 2011]. An aspect of both high social and political relevance is the implications of job ...

Should rich people pay higher taxes? To answer this question an individual needs to consider his attitudes towards income redistribution. Such preferences might be based on the individual income but also on social factors. Using socioeconomic data we find that self-interested motives are indeed an important driver for the preferences of income redistribution. However , our analysis reveals that social ...

In addition to biological sex, gender, defined as the sociocultural dimension of being a woman or a man, plays acentral role in health. However, there are so far few approaches to quantify gender in a retrospective manner in existing study datasets. We therefore aimed to develop a methodology that can be retrospectively applied to assess gender in existing cohorts. We used baseline data from the Berlin ...

We explore how involuntary and voluntary exits from self-employment affect life and health satisfaction. To that end, we use rich longitudinal data from the German Socio-Economic Panel from 1985 to 2017 and a difference-in-differences estimator. We find that while transitioning from self-employment to salaried employment brings small improvements in health and life satisfaction, the negative psychological ...
