Network Dependency in Migration Flows – A Space-time Analysis for Germany since Re-unification
Mitze, Timo - 2010
The contribution of this paper is to analyse the role of network interdependencies in a dynamic panel data model for German internal migration flows since re-unification. So far, a capacious account of spatial patterns in German migration data is still missing in the empirical literature. In the...

Internal Migration, Regional Labour Market Dynamics and Implications for German East-West Disparities – Results from a Panel VAR
Alecke, Björn; Mitze, Timo; Untiedt, Gerhard - 2009
This paper analyses the causal linkages between regional labour market variables and internal migration flows among German states between 1991-2006. We adopt a Panel VAR approach to identify the feedback effects among the variables and analyse the dynamic properties of the system through...

Testing the Neoclassical Migration Model: Overall and Age-Group Specific Results for German Regions
Mitze, Timo; Reinkowski, Janina - 2010
This paper tests the empirical validity of the neoclassical migration model in predicting German internal migration flows. We estimate static and dynamic migration functions for 97 Spatial Planning Regions between 1996 and 2006 using key labor market signals including income and unemployment...

Heterogeneity in marginal non-monetary returns to higher education
Kamhöfer, Daniel A.; Schmitz, Hendrik; Westphal, Matthias - 2015
In this paper we estimate the effects of college education on cognitive abilities and health exploiting exogenous variation in college availability and student loan regulations. By means of semiparametric local instrumental variables techniques we estimate marginal treatment effects in an...

Tobacco and Alcohol: Complements or Substitutes? – A Structural Model Approach
Tauchmann, Harald; Göhlmann, Silja; Requate, Till; … - 2007
The question of whether two drugs - namely alcohol and tobacco - are used as complements or substitutes is of crucial interest if side-effects of anti-smoking policies are considered. Numerous papers have empirically addressed this issue by estimating demand systems for alcohol and tobacco and...

Does stress shorten your life? Evidence from parental bereavement
Schmidpeter, Bernhard - 2019
This paper studies how stress affects the mortality risk. Using a flexible approach and allowing for timevarying treatment effects, I find no impact of stress on the short-run mortality risk but a substantially increase in the long-run. The effects are especially pronounced for men. I provide...
