Economic inequalities and poverty are aspects of well-being that have been largely studied in the past literature also with the development of many appropriate indicators able to measure them. One aspect of well-being that has not been studied enough is economic insecurity. This lack might be due to its abstract nature and the difficulty to define such phenomena. In this work, we suggest an indicator ...

Thanks to the male breadwinner model with wages sufficient to support a family, working-class families used to be financially secure. The transformation towards the adult worker model (AWM) saw an accumulation of adverse employment characteristics—especially among manual and non-manual routine occupations—and a rise in poverty risks. However, there is a lack of research that combines these strands. ...

How does previous exposure to massive immigrant inflows affect concerns about current immigration and the integration of refugees? To answer this question, we investigate attitudes toward newcomers among natives and previous immigrants. In areas that in the 1990s received higher inflows of immigrants of German origin—the so-called ethnic Germans—native Germans are more likely to believe that refugees ...

We examine the additivity of stock-market expectations over different time intervals. When asked about a ten-year interval, survey respondents expect a stock-price change that is not equal to, but closer to zero than, the sum of their expectations over two shorter time intervals that cover the same ten years. Such sub-additivity is irrational in that it cannot stem from aggregating short-term expectations. ...

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 ...
