And to what extent can exposure to a different cultural group in adulthood shape maternal labor supply? To address these questions, we exploit the setting of the German reunification.

In light of persistent gender inequality on the labour market, I investigate how social norms affect women’s labour market integration along two dimensions: through reduced labour supply upon the arrival of children and through constraints on geographic mobility. I first look at the persistence and change of gender norms around the time of childbirth. To that end, I explore the setting of the German ...

The present study aims at comparing physical and mental health outcomes of different migrant groups and the native German population, testing for the presence of a healthy migrant effect (HME) and its potential differences between groups. The HME is marked by an observed health advantage for migrants compared to the host population, which declines with increasing years since migration. Macroeconomic, ...

This study examines the role of occupational classes in the Gender Wealth Gap (GWG). Despite rising interest in gender differences in wealth, the central role of occupations in restricting and enabling its accumulation has been neglected thus far.

Lazear's jack-of-all-trades view of entrepreneurship predicts that individuals with a more balanced skill set are more likely to enter entrepreneurship. This relationship is often explained by either the investment or the endowment hypothesis. Both hypotheses describe skill balancing by those more interested in entrepreneurship per se. Previous studies which have attempted to determine the relative ...
