An inappropriate handling of cross-sectional heterogeneity renders estimates of causal effects inaccurate and uninformative. The present paper discusses how the direct modeling of cross-sectional differences via semiparametric models represents a useful bridge between a statistical approach, where the conditional distribution of the dependent variable returns any value of the outcome given any value ...

Our findings are relevant for better understanding the economic decision making of the large number of individuals with mental health i ...

To obtain a more complete understanding of the persisting gender earnings gap in Germany, this paper investigates both the cross-sectional and biographical dimension of gender inequalities. Using an Oaxaca Blinder decomposition, we show that the gender gap in annual earnings is largely driven by women’s lower work experience and intensive margin of labor supply. Based on a dynamic microsimulation model, ...

To what extent has the closing of the gender gap in hourly wages (‘gender wage gap’; GWG) in Western Germany stalled due to an increasing supply of non-standard working hours? We use descriptive trend analyses and Juhn–Murphy–Pierce decompositions of German Socio-Economic Panel data for the last 30 years (1985–2014) to analyse the extent to which the expansion of part-time and marginal work, as well ...
