This paper examines how culture impacts within-couple gender inequality. Exploiting the setting of Germany’s division and reunification, I compare child penalties of East Germans who were socialised in a more gender egalitarian culture to West Germans socialised in a gender-traditional culture. Using a household panel, I show that the long-run child penalty on the female income share is 23.9 percentage ...

Unsere Studie ist die erste mit dem Ziel, den intraindividuellen Effekt der ehelichen Trennung auf die mentale Gesundheit zu untersuchen, abhängig vom Elternschaftsstatus und dem Alter des jüngsten biologischen Kindes. Wir stützen uns auf die Set-Point-Theorie, die einen nichtlinearen, homöostatischen Selbstregulierungsprozess mit einer Antizipations- und einer anschließenden Erholungsphase prognostiziert. ...

Do memories of highly emotional stock market crashes permanently affect the investment decisions of households? The Initial Public Offerings of Deutsche Telekom during 1996- 2000 provide an optimal base to address this question, as it is known for its emotional character and is reputedly “the last time Germans invested in stocks.” Using Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) household survey data, I show that ...

This study investigates whether critical life events that typically occur during early adulthood (i.e., labor market entry, unemployment, parenthood) impact concerns about immigration. Two mechanisms suggest that these critical life events lead to a widening of education-specific differences: First, the amplification of ethnic competition following critical life events may be more pronounced for individuals ...

We build a novel equilibrium model in which households' labor supply choices form the link between sorting on the marriage market and sorting on the labor market. We first show that in theory, the nature of home production – whether partners' hours are complements or substitutes – shapes marriage market sorting, labor market sorting and labor supply choices in equilibrium. We then estimate ...

Our rst main nding is that most households in our sample (72%) split private consumption equally between partners, ...

In recent decades, the inequality of household income has increased globally. A common trend is increased income inequality at the top of the distribution. The sources of this trend are a matter of debate. Increased demand for analytical and managerial skills is said to have strongly increased labor incomes at the top. Other scholars have indicated that structural conditions, such as financialization ...

Job satisfaction has previously been found to increase across the life span. However, few studies have focused on the very last years of working life. We applied a time-to-retirement approach to job satisfaction and investigated change in job satisfaction in the ten years before retirement in the German Socioeconomic Panel (GSOEP, n = 2,619). Job satisfaction showed a small non-linear decline as people ...

The availability of large data sets is increasing dramatically, reshaping decision-making in many domains, such as energy, education and health. Data sets may be large in two dimensions: in the number of observations and in the number of variables. This thesis mainly deals with the first case. Often, large data sets arise as a byproduct of emerging technologies, possibly allowing very detailed measurements ...
