Inequality of opportunity strikes when two children with the same academic performance are sent to different quality schools because their parents differ in socio-economic status.

Second, we provide micro level evidence that examines personality traits of rural households in Thailand and Vietnam. Using new representative individual level data, our results show that the Big Five model can be applied in a rural setting. Moreover, ...

Aus ökonomischer Sicht können Ehen und langjährige Partnerschaften als informeller Versicherungsmechanismus verstanden werden. Dieser implizite Versicherungsvertrag ist jedoch nicht vollständig durchsetzbar, da jeder Partner die Beziehung beenden kann, z.B. auch dann wenn seine Unterstützung im Falle eines negativen Lebensereignisses benötigt wird. Ein Beispiel eines solchen negativen Lebensereignisses ...

We use long-run SOEP panel data and consider the impact of all housing transitions, whether or not they involve a change in housing tenure or geographical movement, on both life satisfaction and housing satisfaction. Controlling for individual characteristics, some residential transitions affect ...

Decisions on interventions or policy alternatives affecting health can be informed by economic evaluations, like cost-benefit or cost-utility analyses. In this context, there is a need for valid estimates of the monetary equivalent value of health (gains), which are often expressed in € per quality-adjusted life years (QALYs). Obtaining such estimates remains methodologically challenging, with a recent ...

In diesem Artikel analysieren wir individuelle Faktoren und situative Bedingungen, unter denen Einwanderer mehr oder weniger wahrscheinlich in aufnahmeland-spezifisches Humankapital investieren. Theoretisch stützen wir unsere Analysen auf einen Ansatz des Humankapital-Investitionsmodells von Zuwanderern und verbinden diesen mit einem Basismodell für rationale Bildungsentscheidungen. Mit Hilfe eines ...
