A simulation framework for studying the social impacts of algorithm-based refugee matching

Intergenerational Transmission of Welfare Benefit Receipt: Evidence from Germany

We study the intergenerational transmission of welfare benefit receipt in Germany. We first describe the correlation between welfare receipt experienced in the parental household and subsequent own welfare receipt of young adults. In a second step, we investigate whether the observed correlations reflect causal effects of past welfare experience. We use family fixed effects estimations and Gottschalk's ...
