Der Generationenmythos

Dieser Artikel zeigt, dass deutsche Nachkriegskohorten sich kaum in ihren Einstellungen unterscheiden, weder in Bezug auf Lebensziele noch in Bezug auf Sorgen oder gesellschaftliches und politisches Engagement. Diese Kohorteneffekte werden unter Kontrolle von Alters- und Periodeneffekten mit bis zu 551.664 Beobachtungen von bis zu 76.161 Individuen des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels berechnet. Die Ergebnisse ...

Fast alles wird besser, aber niemand merkt es. Warum nicht?

We conclude that the overall effects of monetary incentives on response rates are positive compared to the "classic" SOEP setting, where a charity lottery ticket is offered as an incentive. ...

“Familien in Deutschland” - FiD

There are various independent studies evaluating family policy measures in Germany. So far, a systematic evaluation considering the different goals inherent to these measures was missing. The evaluation of family policy measures on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth (BMFSFJ) and the Federal Ministry of Finance (BMF) is thus the first systematic overall ...
