Pursuing replicability — independent evidence for previous claims — is important for creating generalizable knowledge1,2. Here we attempted replications of 274 claims of positive results from 164 quantitative papers published from 2009 to 2018 in 54 journals in the social and behavioural sciences. Replications were high powered on average to detect the original effect size (median of 99.6%), used original ...

The positive link between work-related moves and income is well-established, but little robust evidence exists on whether the distance moved matters in this relationship. There are, however, theoretical arguments on why distance should shape the economic rewards from moving for work. To address this research gap, we draw on longitudinal data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP, N?=?154,236 person-years). ...

We study the effect of education on health (hospital stays, number of diagnosed conditions, poor or bad self-rated health, and body mass index) over the life cycle, using German compulsory schooling reforms as a source of exogenous variation. Our results show clear correlations between educational attainment and better health across all age groups (30 to 74). However, we do not find causal relationships ...

Abstract Research on the consequences of works councils has been dominated by economic aspects. Our study provides evidence that works councils have non-financial consequences for society that go beyond the boundaries of the workplace. Using panel data from a large sample of workers in Germany, we show that works councils have an influence on workers? party preferences. Works council presence is negatively ...

Technological progress is rapidly changing the labor market. We investigate how the interaction between new technologies and on the job training is related to wages and job mobility. Understanding this relationship is important, as individuals' willingness to engage in training largely depends on the expected returns to training.We employ German individual-level panel data (N = 44,791) on training ...

The expansion of wind energy has intensified debate about potential impacts on the health and wellbeing of nearby residents, yet empirical evidence remains mixed. Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) linked to administrative records on onshore wind turbines, we analyse changes in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) associated with turbine construction in Germany between 2002 and ...

This study investigates whether military conflict intensities in refugees’ home regions continue to shape their lives after arrival in a safe haven. While war and local conflict are well-established drivers of initial displacement, it remains unclear whether ongoing conflict influences settlement decision once refugees have escaped the immediate threat. We address this question using longitudinal data ...

Overemployment – working more hours than desired – affects nearly one-third of European workers, yet its consequences remain understudied. Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP, 1984-2019, = 43,570) and individual fixed-effects models with leads and lags, we examine whether overemployment is associated with a deterioration in wellbeing and health, and whether potential adverse impacts ...

Does working in the public sector make people more risk averse? Using longitudinal data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP, 2008–2018), this study examines whether public sector work experience influences individual risk aversion over time. Fixed-effects and supplementary within-person analyses were conducted to test the socialization hypotheses. The results show that while public sector work ...
