  • Friends make us happy: Evidence from three European panel studies

    Open Access•Sabine Mader, A Franzen•ARTICLE•Journal of Happiness Studies•2025

    Most studies regarding the effect of social capital on subjective well-being suggest that having friends makes us happier and healthier. However, causal evidence exploiting individual-level national panel data and utilizing rigorous modelling approaches is scarce. In this paper, we pursue three goals. First, we replicate the findings of the previous literature by applying fixed effects (FE) models to three major European panel datasets (German So…

  • The Impact of Answer Scale Orientation on the Measurement of Life Satisfaction

    Open Access•Fabienne Wöhner, A Franzen•ARTICLE•Journal of Happiness Studies•2024

    In national and international surveys, life satisfaction is often measured by a single item. However, there is a lot of debate in survey research about whether rating scales should be ordered in an ascending order (from negative to positive) or a descending order (from positive to negative). We investigate the effect of scale orientation by randomly assigning both versions in an online survey ( N = 3,138). The average reported life satisfaction i…

  • Poverty in Europe: How long‐term poverty developed following the financial crisis and what drives it

    Open Access•A Franzen, Sebastian Bähr•ARTICLE•International Journal of Social…•2023•Cited by: 1•References: 16

    The purpose of this paper is to provide an update on the development of the long‐term relative poverty rate in Europe. We use European Statistics on Income and Living Conditions data (EU‐SILC) for 26 European countries between 2009 and 2018. In addition to describing the development of long‐term poverty, we also analyse the drivers of poverty on the country level via fixed effects panel regression analysis. We are particularly interested in how e…

  • Governing the Commons: Why Self-Administered Farm Outlets Flourish in Switzerland

    Open Access•A Franzen, Sabine Mader et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of the…•2019•References: 4

    Investigations of the question why some commons flourish and why others fail is one of the most exciting and interesting topics in the social sciences. In this paper we take a look at the performance of self-administered outlets. In Switzerland, many farmers offer their products via self-administered outlets. Offering such an outlet is a trust game for the farmer and a commons dilemma for the customers. By law customers are required to pay for th…

    Objectives This study examines the effect of countries’ wealth on individuals’ willingness to pay for environmental protection. Former studies using the International Social Survey Programme ( ISSP ) report a positive effect, while studies using the World Values Survey ( WVS ) or the European Values Study ( EVS ) find the opposite. In this article, we explain and reconcile these opposing findings. Methods First, we analyze the three data sets ( I…

  • Faith, Politics, and Power: The Politics of Faith-Based Initiatives

    A Franzen•ARTICLE•Sociology of Religion•2011

    During the past 10 years, faith-based initiatives have received increased public attention. The hope has been a new era of social support where private organizations take the lead in alleviating social problems. Faith, Politics, and Power argues that faith-based initiatives are primarily a symbolic commodity that results not in social solutions, but in an altered church/state relationship. Sager, focusing on the “disparity between practical and s…
