De-Institutionalization or Re-Institutionalization of Citizenship? Expectations of Migrants regarding Naturalization in Germany

Politische Institutionen im gesellschaftlichen Wandel - Einbürgerung in Deutschland zwischen Erwartungen von Migranten und staatlicher Vorgabe

Dieser Beitrag nutzt institutionentheoretische Konzepte, um Veränderungen der politischen Inkorporation zu rekonstruieren. Am Beispiel der Reformen der Einbürgerungsbestimmungen in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland wird die Re-Institutionalisierung der Staatsbürgerschaft dargestellt: Auf der Seite der staatlichen Vorgabe werden diese Prozesse anhand der Reform des Staatsangehörigkeitsrechts, auf der Seite ...

Home Sweet Home! Does Moving Have (Lasting) Effects on Housing Satisfaction?

Previous research has found that moving has lasting effects on housing satisfaction while adaptation to changing living environments is surprisingly absent from this research. This paper challenges and extends this current state of research. Using data from a large-scale German household panel we find that housing satisfaction (a) sharply declines before the move (self-selection into relocation), (b) ...

Needs, Comparisons, and Adaptation: The Importance of Relative Income for Life Satisfaction

We examine the association between income and life satisfaction. Referring to the so-called Easterlin paradox, three mechanisms are discussed: basic human need satisfaction, interpersonal comparison processes, and adaptation. Hypotheses resulting from these considerations are empirically tested on the basis of two data sets: a self conducted cross-sectional survey among the population of Munich and ...

Therefore, I simulate Germans' working hours in a more exible but real world, ...

Lower wage rates for fewer hours? A simultaneous wage-hours model for Germany

In this paper the impact of working hours on the gross hourly wage rate of West German women is analyzed. We use a simultaneous wage-hours model which takes into account the participation decision. First, our estimates show that the hourly wage rate is strongly affected by the working hours. In order to avoid any assumptions about the functional form, we estimate linear spline functions. Second, we ...
