Women face higher earnings losses than men after job displacement
Existing research has shown that job displacement leads to large and persistent earnings losses for men, but evidence for women is scarce. In fact, there is more research on how women react to their husband’s job loss than to their own. Using a sample of more than 80,000 displaced workers extracted from German administrative data, a recent IZA paper by Hannah Illing, Johannes F. Schmieder and Simon Trenkle aims to close this gap in the economic literature.
Inflation - Different social groups disagree on causes
In the USA and in Germany, prices have increased to their highest level in 30 years. A new survey shows: economists, households, and managers see different reasons for this and do not share the same outlook.
Mentoring can reduce gender gap in competitiveness and earnings expectations
Competitiveness is an individual trait that has been shown to be highly predictive of career choices and labor market outcomes and for which a strong gender gap is often found. Gender differences in preferences for competition might therefore provide a partial explanation for gender disparities in career choices, such as differential selection into STEM fields or finance.
Next round for CRC: Economic perspectives on social challenges
Great success for the Collaborative Research Centre Transregio (CRC-TRR) 224 "Economic Perspectives on Societal Challenges" The collaborating scientists from the Universities of Bonn and Mannheim have convinced with their research work of the past four years. The German Research Foundation (DFG) is therefore funding the collaboration for a further funding period with several million euros.
What’s worth knowing in economics?
Peter Andre (BGSE) and Armin Falk (Briq) asked 10,000 economists worldwide what they think economics should be working on and what its objectives should be? Many would like to see more policy relevance, interdisciplinarity, topic diversity, and risk-taking research for their discipline.
On the way to better decision-making
Transdisciplinary project: Philipp Eisenhauer and Lena Janys of the Department of Economics and other researchers at the University of Bonn are linking computer-based models from economics, epidemiology, and financial research.
