The data used come from the Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP), which provides not only contractual working hours but also actual hours worked. Using a difference-in-differences estimation approach, we find a significant and robust reduction in contractual working hours ...

Die „Rente mit 67“ ist ein zentraler rentenpolitischer Baustein zur Bewältigung der Folgen des demografischen Wandels. Sie sieht vor, dass das Regelrenteneintrittsalter zwischen 2012 und 2031 von 65 auf 67 Jahre steigt. Allerdings geht diese Strategie nur dann auf, wenn es den Menschen gelingt, ihren Erwerbsaustritt auch wirklich in ein höheres Alter zu verschieben. Unter den aktuell sehr günstigen ...

Sowohl Frauen als auch Männer bewerten es als gerecht, wenn Frauen für dieselbe Arbeit ein geringeres Gehalt bekommen als Männer. Das zeigen aktuelle Auswertungen eines umfragebasierten Experiments, das im Rahmen eines von der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft geförderten Projekts durchgeführt wurde. Demnach wird ein im Durchschnitt um drei Prozent geringeres Gehalt für Frauen bei sonst gleichen Merkmalen, ...

In research on stratification and inequality, administrative data are popular for their wide coverage and assumed high quality. Yet, the quality of the data depends crucially on the aim of data collection. In this paper, we investigate the quality of information on education in administrative data from social security records provided by the German Federal Institute for Employment Research where education ...

The aim of this brief report was to replicate the meta-analytic findings concerning the relationship between Big-Five personality and political orientation reported in Sibley, Osborne, and Duckitt (2012) in a sample of N = 29,015 participants from four panels involving representative German samples. We replicated the expected significant correlations for Openness to Experience (r = −0.07; 95% CI [−0.10, ...

In this study, we argue that the long arm of childhood that determines adult mortality should be thought of as comprising an observed part and its unobserved counterpart, reflecting the observed socioeconomic position of individuals and their parents and unobserved factors shared within a family. Our estimates of the observed and unobserved parts of the long arm of childhood are based on family-level ...

Survey interviewers can negatively affect survey data by introducing variance and bias into estimates. When investigating these interviewer effects, research typically focuses on interviewer sociodemographics with only a few studies examining the effects of characteristics that are not directly visible such as interviewer attitudes, opinions, and personality. For the study at hand, self-reports of ...

This article examines heterogeneity in the effect of unemployment on social participation. Whereas existing studies on this relationship essentially estimate mean effects, we use quantile regression methods to provide a broader and more complete picture. To account for the potential endogeneity of job loss, we estimate quantile treatment effects (on the treated) based on entropy balancing and focus ...
