Natives’ Attitudes and Immigrants’ Unemployment Durations

In this study, we investigate how the attitude of natives—defined as the perceived trustworthiness of citizens from different countries—affects immigrants’ labor market outcomes in Germany. Evidence in the literature suggests that barriers to economic assimilation might be higher for some groups of immigrants, but the role of natives’ heterogeneous attitudes toward immigrants from different countries ...

Intergenerational transmission of housing choice: The relevance of green spaces for moving into a family house across social class

A proper family house is for many a self-owned house with a private garden in a purely residential area. We analyse the relevance of having grown up in a parental home with a garden and in close proximity to green spaces for moving into a detached or terraced house for one or two families, whether rented or bought, which we call a “family house.” Simultaneously, we analyse whether the same predictors ...

Development of perceived job insecurity among young workers: a latent class growth analysis

Tägliches (Vor-) Lesen steigert die schulischen Leistungen: Ergebnisse zu den längerfristigen Effekten auf Basis des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels

Dass es für die Entwicklung von Kindern und Jugendlichen sehr förderlich ist, wenn sie zunächst regelmäßig vorgelesen bekommen und später selbst lesen, ist allgemein bekannt und nicht umstritten. Dennoch gibt es keine empirischen Untersuchungen für Deutschland, die die positiven Langfristeffekte belegen und quantifizieren. Vor diesem Hintergrund wurde mittels multivariater Analysen auf Basis des Sozio-oekonomischen ...

Inline with this proposition, cohort differences favoring later-born cohorts have beenwidely documented for cognition and health. However, little is known about historicalchange in how key resources of psychosocial functioning such as control beliefsdevelop in old age. We pooled data from three independent samples: ...

Getting the Within Estimator of Cross-level Interactions in Multilevel Models with Pooled Cross-sections: Why Country Dummies (Sometimes) Do Not Do the Job

Multilevel models with persons nested in countries are increasingly popular in cross-country research. Recently, social scientists have started to analyze data with a three-level structure: persons at level 1, nested in year-specific country samples at level 2, nested in countries at level 3. By using a country fixed-effects estimator, or an alternative equivalent specification in a random-effects ...

Parenthood and smoking

Parents’ smoking is harmful to infants’ health. While it is well established that the fraction of mothers smoking during pregnancy is non-negligible, it is an open question of how many parents actually quit smoking to account for the adverse health effects accruing to their offspring. It is also unknown for how long smoking is reduced after first childbirth. This paper investigates these questions ...
