Determinants of public perception of elite sport

Elite sports are associated with values such as fair competition, striving to become better and challenging oneself. These are considered as social benefits. However, integrity issues relating to misuse of doping or corruption challenge this. This paper examines the determinants of public perception of elite sport by means of a survey. Logistic regression modelling assesses the effects of trust, athletes ...

Does the Dream of Home Ownership Rest upon Biased Beliefs? A Test Based on Predicted and Realized Life Satisfaction

The belief that home ownership makes people happy is probably one of the most widespread intuitive theories of happiness. However, whether it is accurate is an open question. Based on individual panel data, we explore whether home buyers systematically overestimate the life satisfaction associated with moving to their privately owned property. To identify potential prediction errors, we compare people’s ...

Longitudinal Evidence for Reciprocal Effects Between Life Satisfaction and Job Satisfaction

The evidence for a correlation between life satisfaction and job satisfaction is strong; however, it is mostly based on cross-sectional results, which precludes establishing valid causal links between work and well-being. Limited longitudinal research suffers from relatively small sample sizes, narrow focus on a particular professional or national group, and differences in the lags between the waves ...

A latent class growth model for migrants’ remittances: an application to the German Socio-Economic Panel

We propose a latent class mixture growth model with concomitant variables to study the time profiles of international remittances sent by first-generation migrants in Germany from 1996 to 2012. The latent class approach enables us to identify homogeneous subgroups of migrants associated with different trajectories for their remitting behaviour, which can be interpreted in the light of the theoretical ...

Ökosteuer-Einnahmen sorgen noch heute für niedrigere Rentenbeiträge und höhere Renten

Mit der ökologischen Steuerreform wurden von 1999 bis 2003 die Energiesteuersätze – insbesondere auf Benzin und Diesel – erhöht und eine Stromsteuer eingeführt. Heute erzielen diese Ökosteuererhöhungen ein jährliches Aufkommen von etwa 20 Milliarden Euro oder 0,6 Prozent des Bruttoinlandsprodukts. Damit werden höhere Bundeszuschüsse an die Rentenversicherung finanziert. Berechnungen auf Basis eines ...

Personality Traits and Obesity

Objective: Previous studies investigating the association between body weight and personality traits have found mixed results. This paper uses a large data set and two different study designs (cross-sectional and longitudinal) to provide more consistent estimates of the effect of personality traits on obesity. Methods: The present study is based on data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP) ...

The relationship between age and subjective well-being: Estimating within and between effects simultaneously

In this paper, we employ a correlated random effects econometric framework to simultaneously estimate the within and between effects of age on subjective well-being based on longitudinal survey data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP). The proposed approach helps to explain differing findings on the relationship between age and subjective well-being reported in a series of studies based on ...

Operative und strategische Elemente einer leistungsfähigen Forschungsdateninfrastruktur in den Sozial- und Wirtschaftswissenschaften

Dieser Beitrag skizziert vor dem Hintergrund der Diskussionen um den Aufbau einer nationalen Forschungsdateninfrastruktur (NFDI) in Deutschland die Arbeitsweise und Merkmale des Rats für Sozial- und Wirtschaftsdaten (RatSWD). Im Mittelpunkt stehen die zwei zentralen Merkmale des RatSWD als unabhängiges Beratungsgremium von Datenproduzenten und wissenschaftlichen Datennutzenden einerseits und als organisatorischer ...
