Immigration, segregation, and attitudes toward immigrants
Evidence on how proximity to ethnic outgroups shapes attitudes toward immigration remains inconclusive. We suggest this may be driven, in part, by the fact that studies rarely account for the role of residential segregation. We argue that how the minority-share in an environment affects majority-group attitudes will depend on how segregated groups are from one another. To explore this, we undertake fixed-effects modelling of nationally representa…
Assessing the Effects of District-Level Segregation on Meritocratic Beliefs in Germany
In recent years, researchers have grappled with the phenomenon that public demand for redistribution has not systematically increased in response to rising inequality. Meritocratic beliefs have been suggested as an explanation for this observation, because they can help legitimize inequalities. Past research has identified local-level inequality, segregation, or diversity as important factors for how these beliefs might be formed and maintained. …
Soep-Rv
The aim of the project SOEP-RV is to link data from participants in the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) survey to their individual Deutsche Rentenversicherung (German Pension Insurance) records. For all SOEP respondents who give explicit consent to record linkage, SOEP-RV creates a linked dataset that combines the comprehensive multi-topic SOEP data with detailed cross-sectional and longitudinal data on social security pension records covering…
Urban green is more than the absence of city
The relationship between urbanization, the brain, and human mental health is subject to intensive debate in the current scientific literature. Particularly, since mood and anxiety disorders as well as schizophrenia are known to be more frequent in urban compared to rural regions. Here, we investigated the association between cerebral signatures, mental health and land use indicators (Urban Fabric and Urban Green) within a 1 km radius around the h…
Inferring floor area ratio thresholds for the delineation of city centers based on cognitive perception
The morphology of today’s cities is the result of historic urban developments and on-going urban transformation resulting in complex urban spatial structures. While functionally as well as spatially, cities are structured into sub-units such as the city center, business districts, residential areas, or industrial and commercial zones, their precise localization in the geographic space is sometimes difficult. City centers in particular are difficu…
The German Socio-Economic Panel (Soep)
The Individual in Context(s)
The German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) study is a rich resource for sociologists, mainly because it offers direct measures of respondents' contexts. The SOEP data provide (i) information retrieved from individuals themselves, (ii) direct information retrieved from their parents, partners, and organizations, (iii) prospectively collected information on past characteristics, and (iv) regional and spatial identifiers allowing researchers to link the…
Deindustrialisation and the polarisation of household incomes
The tertiarisation, or perhaps more accurately, the deindustrialisation of the economy has left deep scars on cities. It is evident not only in the industrial wastelands and empty factory buildings, but also in the income and social structures of cities. Industrialisation, collective wage setting, and the welfare state led to a stark reduction in income differences over the course of the 20th century. Conversely, deindustrialisation and the shift…
Handbuch Armut
Wie sprechen wir über Armut? Was wissen wir über Armut? Wie bearbeiten wir Armut? Das Handbuch liefert Antworten auf diese Fragen und bietet sowohl Überblick als auch Detailinformation. Es richtet sich an Studierende und Lehrende der Sozialwissenschaften, aber auch an PraktikerInnen aus der Sozialen Arbeit, die ganz konkret mit dem Phänomen der Armut zu tun haben

Soziale Ungleichheit in Deutschland in der Längsschnittperspektive. Befunde zur Armutsproblematik auf Basis des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (Soep)
In this article, we discuss and analyse poverty in Germany from a longitudinal perspective. Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel Study (SOEP), we first show that the general poverty rate in Germany has constantly increased since the late 1990s. Shifting to a life-course perspective, we show that not only socio-structural characteristics have a strong impact on the poverty risk, but also critical life-events. While focusing on dynamics …

Regional Income Stratification in Unified Germany Using a Gini Decomposition Approach
n This paper delivers new insights into the development of income inequality and regional stratification in Germany after unification using a new method for detecting social stratification by a decomposition of the GINI index which yields the obligatory between- and within-group components as well as an overlapping index for the different sup-populations. We find that East Germany is still a stratum on its own when using post-government income, b…
Gestiegene Einkommensungleichheit in Deutschland
Seit dem Jahr 2000 ist in Deutschland ein markanter Anstieg der Ungleichheit der Einkommen der privaten Haushalte zu beobachten. Damit verbunden haben sich auch die Armutsrisiken deutlich erhöht. Welche Ursachen haben zu dem Anstieg der Einkommensungleichheit geführt? Welche Entwicklungen sind bei den individuellen Erwerbseinkommen der Personen im erwerbsfähigen Alter zu verzeichnen und welche Auswirkungen haben diese auf die Verteilung der Haush…
Using Analysis of Gini (Anogi) for Detecting Whether Two Subsamples Represent the Same Universe
A wildly discussed shortcoming of panel surveys is a potential bias arising from selective attrition. Based on data of the German Socio-Economic Panel Study (SOEP), the authors analyze potential artifacts (level, structure, income inequality) by comparing results for two independently drawn panel subsamples started in 1984 and 2000. They apply ANOGI (analysis of Gini) techniques, the equivalent of ANOVA performed with the Gini coefficient. They r…
Incidence and Intensity of Smoothed Income Poverty in European Countries
The purpose of this paper is to obtain, by combining two longitudinal perspectives, a more detailed national picture of poverty in the member states of the European Union, using the first four waves (1994–7) of the European Community Household Panel (ECHP). In addition to this detailed consideration is given to the time dimension, poverty incidence, poverty gap and poverty intensity. Overall, the ranking across countries and dimensions is relativ…
