Abstract The German experience of the financial crisis was very different from that of most other European countries. Germany was hit by a very strong shock that was relatively concentrated in the exporting, manufacturing industries.

This study provides life-cycle evidence on the relationship between childhood investments (contexts), cognitive and non-cognitive skills, and life out-comes (social progress). From a policy perspective, societies are interested in generating high levels of social progress. We therefore investigate how Germany performs in terms of aggregate social progress and how individual life success is generated ...

This paper investigates to what extent individuals' risk preferences are correlated with the cross-sectional earnings risk of their occupation. We exploit data from the German Socio-Economic Panel, which contains a direct survey question about willingness to take risks that has been shown to be a behaviorally valid measure of risk aversion. As a measure of earnings risk, we use the cross-sectional ...

As an example of the adjustment of behavior formed in a centrally planned economy and exposed to a free market economy, the paper studies the development of labor force participation by East German women after unification. To isolate the role of participation behavior from that of individual characteristics, we develop a panel data model that simultaneously explains participation, employment and wages. ...
