Closely following recent innovations in the literature on the multidimensional measurement of poverty, this paper provides similar measures for the top of the distribution using a dual cutoff method to identify individuals, who can be considered as rich in a multidimensional setting. We use this...

Living costs in Germany have surged since Russia's attack on Ukraine. In this article, we discuss pros and cons of different government policies to protect affected citizens. There is a vast domain of possible relief options, each coming with its own trade-offs and design pitfalls. Information...

Die Komplexität des deutschen Steuersystems hat in den vergangenen Jahren immer wieder Kritik hervorgerufen und zu verschiedenen Verbesserungsvorschlägen geführt, von denen jedoch bislang noch keiner ungesetzt wurde. Denn um eine breite politische Akzeptanz zu erlangen, müssen...

Based on theoretical models of job mobility this paper provides an empirical analysis of job durations in West Germany using information from two cohorts of new entrants to the labor force. We adopt an accelerated failure time model allowing for unobserved heterogeneity. Thereby we combine the...

This paper examines the impact of innovations and wages on the demand for heterogeneous labour. Based on matched data from the IAB-establishment panel survey and the files of the employment statistics register for the year 1995, input shares derived from a generalised Leontief cost function are...
