Females Welcome! When immigrants make the native population happy
Despite the growing interest in migration studies, research examining the impact of immigration on the subjective well-being of local populations remains surprisingly limited, often yielding inconclusive and contradictory findings. Notably, the influence of the gender composition of immigrant populations has been overlooked in the literature. This study addresses this gap by employing the social production function framework to assess how gender-…
Why Are Newcomers so Happy? Subjective Well-Being of First-Generation Immigrants in Germany
First-generation immigrants are surprisingly satisfied with their life compared to the local population in Germany. Is this because newcomers are particularly resourceful? We test if personality selectivity, purposive adaptation, and social resilience separately or in tandem explain why subjective well-being remains high even in times of objective disadvantage. Using German panel data (GSOEP) from 5,008 first-generation immigrants for the years 1…
Happy taxation: Increasing Tax Compliance Through Positive Rewards
Can governments increase tax compliance by rewarding honest taxpayers? We conducted a controlled laboratory experiment comparing tax compliance under a “deterrence” baseline with tax compliance under two “reward” treatments: a “donation” treatment giving taxpayers a say in the spending purposes of their payments and a “lucky” treatment giving taxpayers the (highly unlikely) chance of winning a lottery. The reward treatments significantly affected…
Unhealthy Conditions? A Longitudinal Analysis of the Health of Children in One- and Two-parent Households
Families produce health, but changes in familial structures are made responsible for many negative health trends in the population. How does the health of younger children today in Germany develop when comparing whether the parents live together or separately? Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel Study (SOEP), we are able to show that children in traditional marriages are not generally healthier than children in other families. For exa…
Introduction: The Dynamics of Happiness and the Dynamics of Happiness Research
Why are Middle-Aged People so Depressed? Evidence from West Germany
The China Puzzle: Falling Happiness in a Rising Economy
Time to retire - Time to die? A prospective cohort study of the effects of early retirement on long-term survival
Love and Death in Germany: The Marital Biography and Its Effect on Mortality
In this article, we analyze how the marital biography is affecting mortality in Germany today (N = 12,484). We find support for temporal selection into marriage for both genders, but the effect is stronger for men. In addition, protection through marriage results from long-term accumulation of survival advantages and from the attenuation of higher mortality risks that occur immediately after a transition into or out of a marriage. Moreover, women…
Why is less money spent on health care for the elderly than for the rest of the population? Health care rationing in German hospitals
Old-Age Mortality in Germany prior to and after Reunification
Recent trends in German life expectancy show a considerable increase. Most of this increase has resulted from decreasing mortality at older ages. Patterns of oldest old mortality (ages 80+) differed significantly between men and women as well as betw
