Why do parents underinvest in their children’s education? Evidence from China
In this paper we study whether the presence of financial constraints that limit parents’ ability to borrow and the existence of educational fixed costs can explain the underinvestment of parents in their children’s human capital. We first incorporate these two potential mechanisms into the theoretical model of Raut and Tran (2005) and then we test their empirical relevance using data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS…
Gini Who? The Relationship between Inequality Perceptions and Life Satisfaction
We study the relationship between perceived income inequality and subjective well-being. Individuals are often unaware of the level of and trends in income inequality in their countries. As a result, perceived inequality may matter for subjective well-being above and beyond actual inequality measures. Leveraging data on 33 countries from the 2016 Life in Transition Survey, which includes unique information on individuals' perceived inequality cha…
A Multinational Longitudinal Study Incorporating Intensive Methods to Examine Caregiver Experiences in the Context of Chronic Health Conditions: Protocol of the ENTWINE-iCohort
Informal caregivers are those who provide unpaid care to a relative or friend with a chronic illness, disability or other long-lasting health or care need. Providing informal care in the context of chronic health conditions presents a significant global challenge. Examination of the determinants of informal caregivers' behaviour, especially in terms of motivations and willingness to provide/receive care, is crucial to understanding the nature of …
The Long-Term Consequences of a Golden Nest: Socioeconomic Status in Childhood and the Age at Leaving Home
The age at leaving the parental home has significant implications for social and economic outcomes across the life course, highlighting the importance of examining nest-leaving patterns. We study the role of childhood standard of living on the age at nest leaving. Using data from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE), we show empirically that individuals who grow up in families with a higher socioeconomic status—that is, i…

Childhood Socioeconomic Status and Late-Adulthood Mental Health: Results From the Survey on Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe
Our findings reveal the long-term association between childhood socioeconomic conditions and depression later in life, which persists even after taking into account current socioeconomic conditions and are stronger for women than for men. These results imply that boosting childhood socioeconomic conditions can potentially have effects lasting well beyond the childhood phase
Late-life health effects of teenage motherhood
Teenage motherhood has been associated with a host of adverse outcomes over the life cycle. Less, however, is known about the impact of teenage motherhood on health later in life

Life satisfaction of immigrants: Does cultural assimilation matter
To investigate empirically the association between a direct measure of assimilation with a host culture and immigrants’ subjective well-being, this study uses data from the German Socio-Economic Panel. A positive, significant association arises between cultural assimilation and immigrants’ life satisfaction, even after controlling for several potential confounding factors, such as immigrants’ individual (demographic and socio-economic) characteri…

Age, Health and Life Satisfaction Among Older Europeans
In this paper we investigate how age affects the self-reported level of life satisfaction among the elderly in Europe. By using a vignette approach, we find evidence that age influences life satisfaction through two counterbalancing channels. On the one hand, controlling for the effects of all other variables, the own perceived level of life satisfaction increases with age. On the other hand, given the same true level of life satisfaction, older …
Cross-Country Differentials in Work Disability Reporting Among Older Europeans
Descriptive evidence shows that there is large cross-country variation in self-reported work disability rates of the elderly in Europe. In this paper we analyse whether these differences are genuine or they just reflect heterogeneity in reporting styles. To shed light on the determinants of work-disability differentials across countries, we combine a wide set of individuals' socioeconomic and health status characteristics with macro-economic indi…
