The Speed of Earnings Responses to Taxation and the Role of Firm Labor Demand

This paper studies the speed at which workers’ pretax earnings respond to tax changes along the intensive margin. We do so in the context of Germany, where a large notch in the tax schedule induces sharp bunching in the earnings distribution. We analyze earnings responses to two policy reforms that shift this notch outward and find clear evidence that frictions delay the earnings responses of more ...

Wealth and mortality among late-middle-aged individuals in Norway: a nationwide register-based retrospective study

Background In recent decades, we have observed rising wealth inequality while the pace of growth of life expectancy has slowed in many Western welfare democracies. There is scarce evidence, however, on links between wealth and mortality. The main methodological limitation in this area of scholarship is its inability to account for individuals' unobserved heterogeneity, such as personality and ...

Unequal access to protection? Selection patterns over arrival cohorts of Syrians seeking refuge in Lebanon, Turkey, and Germany

Introduction: An ample scholarly literature on voluntary migration has shown that migration is a highly selective process, resulting in migrant populations that often differ significantly from their respective population of origin in terms of their socio-demographic characteristics. The literature attributes these differences to either migrants' active choice and agency in the migration decision ...

Integrationspfade geflüchteter Frauen in Arbeitsmarkt und Gesellschaft

Im Jahr 2016 erreichte die Zahl der geflüchteten Menschen in Deutschland seinen Höhepunkt. Seitdem sind die Zahlen zurückgegangen und die Struktur der Gruppe hat sich geändert. Vor allem kommen im Rahmen des Familiennachzugs immer mehr Frauen aus den Krisengebieten. Auf Basis der quantitativen IAB-BAMF-SOEP Befragung von Geflüchteten und einer qualitativen Vorstudie, wurden die Einflussfaktoren, die ...

So verändert die Geburt eines Kindes langfristig die Persönlichkeit der Eltern

Einer gängigen Vorstellung nach ist die Elternschaft eines der einschneidendsten Erlebnisse im Leben, welches die Persönlichkeit langfristig verändert. Eine neue Studie zeigt, dass die Geburt des Nachwuchses die Eltern tatsächlich verändert — jedoch nicht so wie erwartet. Es gibt große Unterschiede zwischen Geschlechtern und Altersgruppen, doch insgesamt werden Eltern weniger offen für Neues und weniger ...

Replication code availability over time and across fields: Evidence from the German Socio-Economic Panel

Abstract Providing replication code is an inexpensive way to facilitate reproducibility. However, little is known about the extent of replication code provision. Therefore, we examine the availability of replication code for over 2500 peer-reviewed articles based on the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP), one of the most widely used datasets in economics and other social sciences. We find that only ...

The effect of unemployment on care provision

In this paper we estimate the effect of unemployment on informal care provision. For the identification we use plant closures as a source of exogenous variation and combine difference-in-differences with matching based on entropy balancing. The analysis is based on data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP). We find that there is a time conflict between employment and informal care provision. ...

Economic determinants of populism

The rise of populism challenges numerous Western democracies and their institutions. In this round-up, we examine economic and societal conditions that are driving forces behind populism. We focus on five domains that are closely interlinked with populist support: globalization, financial crises, migration, inequality, and social mobility. Each domain offers unique insights into how societal shifts, ...
