2018 wurden die Teilnehmer des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels zum dritten Mal danach gefragt, ob und wie viel Geld sie im vergangenen Jahr für soziale, kirchliche, kulturelle, gemeinnützige und wohltätige Zwecke gespendet haben. Das vorliegende Papier befasst sich mit den Ergebnissen dieser Erhebung und vergleicht sie mit den vorherigen für die Jahre 2009 und 2014. Den SOEP-Daten zufolge hat 2017 weiterhin ...

Mehr als eine halbe Million ältere Menschen in Deutschland nehmen derzeit die Grundsicherung im Alter in Anspruch – mehr als doppelt so viele wie bei ihrer Einführung im Jahr 2003. Die Dunkelziffer derer, die Anspruch auf diese Leistung hätten, sie aber nicht geltend machen, kann nur geschätzt werden. Der vorliegende Bericht quantifiziert die Nichtinanspruchnahme auf Basis des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels ...

Unhealthy behavior can be extremely costly from a micro- and macroeconomic perspective and exploring the determinants of such behavior is highly important from an economist’s point of view. We examine whether locus of control (LOC) can explain alcohol consumption as an important domain of health behavior. LOC measures how much an individual believes in the causal relationship between her own actions ...

This paper investigates the effects of comparison pay on job and life satisfaction with longitudinal survey data from Germany. I use linear fixed effects models to account for unobserved heterogeneity and define the reference groups as individuals within the same occupation and industry. Men and women are expected to behave differently to comparison pay and are therefore investigated separately. Additionally, ...

In this article we compare solo self-employment in Germany and the Netherlands. We identify parallels and differences in the structure of solo self-employment and examine to what extent self-employment is related to a precarious situation in terms of earnings and social security. The results show that solo self-employed workers are relatively vulnerable in terms of income and disability insurance in ...

We examine the complex relationship between money and happiness. We find that both permanent income and wealth are better predictors of life satisfaction than current income and wealth. They matter not only in absolute terms but also in comparative terms. However, their relative impacts differ. The first exerts a comparison effect—the higher the permanent income of the reference group, the lower life ...

We consider a model in which a principal may delegate the choice of a project to a better informed agent. The preferences of the agent and the principal about which project should be undertaken may be discordant. Moreover, the agent benefits from being granted more discretion in the project choice and may be motivated by reciprocity. We find that the relationship between the agent’s reciprocity and ...

The testing of measurement invariance (MI) across different cultural backgrounds for short screeners of mental health has been mostly neglected. Therefore, we examined MI in the most common mental health screeners worldwide used to assess the psychological indicators of health among migrants and refugees: the Short-Form-12 Health Survey (SF-12) for health-related quality of life and the Patient Health ...

The article addressed the impact of a transition to two flexible working time arrangements, employee- and employer-oriented, on subjective well-being (measured by job satisfaction and satisfaction with leisure time) from a longitudinal perspective. The study investigated which of three patterns of well-being, i.e., stability, recovery, or chronic strain/long-term improvement, are associated with these ...
