Subsidized small jobs and maternal labor market outcomes in the long run
This article investigates whether incentives generated by public policies contribute to motherhood penalties. Specifically, we study the consequences of subsidized small jobs, the German Minijobs, which are frequently taken up by first-time mothers upon labor market return. Using a combination of propensity score matching and an event study applied to administrative data, we compare the long-run child penalties of mothers who started out in a Min…
Long-Run Career Outcomes of Multiple Job Holding
Multiple job holding (MJH) is increasingly frequent in industrialized countries. Individuals holding a secondary job add to their experience, skills, and networks. The authors study the long-run labor market outcomes after MJH and investigate whether career effects can be validated. They employ high-quality administrative data from Germany. A doubly robust estimation method combines entropy balancing with fixed-effects difference-in-differences r…
Empirical Studies with Micro-Data from Official Statistics in Germany
For twenty years the Statistical Offices in Germany have provided access to confidential micro-data on individuals and firms in their Research Data Centers (RDC).These data are extensively used by the scientific community for empirical studies in a wide variety of fields.The four papers in this special issue of the Journal of Economics and Statistics apply micro-data from official statistics.Fauth et al. ( 2023) use a novel database with informat…
The Untold Story of Midijobs
Midijobs are employment relationships with moderate monthly earnings that benefit from payroll tax subsidies. Since 2003, the subsidy is universally available for all regions, industries, individuals, and employers in Germany. Recently, more than 2.9 million individuals, i.e., almost 9 percent of the German labor force covered by the social security system took advantage of Midijobs. This paper describes the program, its motivation, and utilizati…
Misreporting of program take-up in survey data and its consequences for measuring non-take-up
The international literature studies non-take-up behavior of eligible populations to evaluate the effectiveness of government programs. A major challenge in this literature is the measurement error regarding benefit take-up. In our data, we observe both actual welfare receipt and respondents’ survey information on their program take-up. This allows us to observe the measurement errors that other researchers must estimate. We describe survey misre…
Employment effects of payroll tax subsidies
This paper exploits several reforms of wage subsidies in the framework of the German Minijob program to investigate substitution and complementarity relationships between subsidized and non-subsidized labor demand. We apply an instrumental variables approach and use administrative data on German establishments for the period 1999–2014. Particularly in small establishments (0–9 employees), subsidized Minijob employment comprises large shares of th…
Institutional Reforms of 2006 and the Dramatic Rise in Old-Age Employment in Germany
The authors investigate whether a cut in unemployment benefit payout periods enacted in Germany in 2006 affected older workers' labor market transitions. The authors use rich administrative data and exploit a difference-in-differences approach. During 2004-2007, using monthly observations, they compare a reference group of 40-44 year olds with constant benefit payout periods to older treatment groups with reduced payout durations. Compared to the…
Fertility effects of child benefits
Maternal Employment Effects of Paid Parental Leave
We study the short-, medium-, and long-run employment effects of a substantial change in Germany’s parental leave benefit program. In 2007, a means-tested parental leave transfer program that paid benefits for up to 2 years was replaced with an earnings-related transfer that paid benefits for up to 1 year. The reform changed the regulation for prior benefit recipients and added benefits for those who were not eligible before. Although long-run la…
The welfare use of immigrants and natives in Germany
Purpose – This paper aims to analyze the welfare use of Turkish immigrants and natives in Germany. The authors ask whether the immigrant‐native gap in welfare use can be explained by observable characteristics, whether the mechanisms behind welfare dependence differ for Turkish immigrants and natives, and, finally, they compare the situation before and after the 2005 reform of the German welfare system. Design/methodology/approach – Using data fr…

Evidence on Incentive Effects of Subjective Performance Evaluations
The authors investigate the effect of managerial performance evaluation styles on employee work effort. Using panel data on 4,080 employees in a Swiss unit of an international company for the period 1999-2002, they test two hypotheses using paid and unpaid overtime work as effort indicators. The company applies two performance-based remuneration mechanisms: an individual "surprise" bonus and one in which salary is affected by the extent to which …

Disability Retirement among German Men in the 1980s
In Germany, a large proportion of new retirees-at times, more than half of them-have taken disability retirement. This study investigates the role of expected benefits in determining that choice. The author finds that among German men in 1984-91, age, health, and prior wages were much stronger predictors of the transition into disability retirement than were expected benefits. She concludes that a benefit reduction would be largely ineffective in…
