In this dissertation, I study the role of labor supply in macroeconomic fluctations and the movement of employment in response to these fluctuations. The first chapter is a theoretical and empirical study of the role of firm-specific labor supply in amplifying business cycles. The second chapter focuses on measuring the aggregate labor supply elasticity at the extensive margin, using a novel survey ...

Pre-vaccine SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence data from Germany are scarce outside hotspots, and socioeconomic disparities remained largely unexplored. The nationwide representative RKI-SOEP study (15,122 participants, 18–99 years, 54% women) investigated seroprevalence and testing in a supplementary wave of the Socio-Economic-Panel conducted predominantly in October–November 2020. Self-collected oral-nasal ...

Upon arrival to a new country, many immigrants face job downgrading, a phenomenon describing workers being in jobs far below where they would be assigned based on their skills. Downgrading leads to immigrants receiving lower returns to the same skills than natives. The level of downgrading could depend on the type of immigrant and numerous factors. This study examines the determinants of skill downgrading ...

Der Vergleich der deutschen Durchschnittsfamilie im Jahr 2020 mit der fünfzig Jahre früher lässt die Unterschiede deutlich zu Tage treten. Modernen Familien sind diverser und weniger stabil, Fertilitäts und Heiratsraten sind gesunken, die meisten Mütter arbeiten zumindest in Teilzeit und Ansichten über Geschlechterrollen sind zunehmend egalitärer. In Deutschland stieg das Alter der Frauen bei der ersten ...

Hintergrund: Eine hinreichend hohe Immunität gegen COVID-19 wird offenbar nur durch freiwillige Impfungen in Deutschland nicht erreicht werden. Eine allgemeine Impfpflicht wird daher weiterhin erwogen. Wir präsentieren Ergebnisse zu ihrer Akzeptanz in der Bevölkerung Deutschlands und berichten, wie Zustimmung und Ablehnung begründet wird und sich nach Bevölkerungsgruppen unterscheidet. Methode: Wir ...

Smartphones are ubiquitous today, yet opinions differ as to whether the benefits or downsides of smartphone use predominate. Using the age-representative ‘Innovation Sample’ of the German Socio-Economic Panel study (N = 5,131, age M = 52.26, 17–96 years), this study examined associations between self-reported smartphone use and three life domains: individual well-being (psychological well-being, sleep); ...

Do politically administered mass layoffs undermine trust and political interest? During the German reunification, formerly state-owned socialist firms in East Germany were privatized by the Treuhand, which came at the cost of massive job losses and public protest. I demonstrate that these activities had a detrimental effect on attitudes and political behavior of the affected individuals. Using survey ...

In this master’s thesis, I examined the housing tenure choices of young adults after leaving the parental home. By distinguishing between four tenure types in owning, renting, subletting, and living in dormitories, I could add to the existing literature on housing and provide new insights into the housing careers of home leavers. I used data from the German Socio-Economic Panel and assessed the housing ...
