Yet the extent to which a person is educated is just one way in which education may affect political beliefs and behavior. In this article, we suggest that the substantive field of education has an independent and important role to play over and above level. Using cross-national evidence ...

One underexplored question is whether specific professions and associated job characteristics can foster neuroticism. Drawing on Cybernetic Big Five Theory (CB5T), we propose business-to-business (B2B) sales jobs entail frequent experiences of uncertainty, which over time increase ...

Germany is characterised by a remarkable history of labour migration, particularly since World War II. The country experiences regional economic disparities, manifested in varying income inequality levels, employment prospects, economic development and infrastructure.

We provide evidence on the transmission of oil price movements to individual incomes for a large oil-importing economy. To do so, we trace the footprint of oil price surprises on the income elements of a representative household panel for Germany. An inflationary oil price shock persistently increases the likelihood of unemployment and leads to a sticky decline in contracted labour incomes even though ...
