What are the defining features of lay people’s semantic representation of risk? We contribute to mapping the semantics of risk based on word associations to provide insight into both universal and individual differences in the representation of risk. Specifically, we introduce a mini-snowball word association paradigm and use the tools of network and sentiment analysis to characterize the semantics ...

We analyze the effects on their forward-looking subjective outcomes (job insecurity, probabilistic expectations of job loss and of job search), a current subjective outcome (job satisfaction), and current objective outcomes (weekly hours of work, earnings). We estimate ...

This work presents evidence of causal effects of parental education on children’s health behaviors and long-term health. I study intergenerational effects of a compulsory schooling increase in Germany, exploiting the staggered introduction of the reform with difference-in-differences models and event studies. Maternal schooling reduces children’s smoking and being overweight in adolescence. The effects ...

Therefore, we aimed ...

Background Health system resilience, the ability of a health system to maintain its functions under stress, has received increasing attention in recent years. Shortcomings in health system resilience are often most visible in the most vulnerable settings, including the care for asylum seekers and refugees. We therefore examined how the German health system responded to challenges and uncertainties ...
