Extending the traditional income poverty concept by multidimensional poverty has been of growing interest within the last years. This paper contributes with an analysis of interdepend-ent multidimensional (IMD) poverty intensity of time and income, which in particular restricts social...

Empirical analyses using cross-sectional and panel data found significantly higher levels of job satisfaction for self-employed than for employees. We argue that those estimates in previous studies might be biased by neglecting anticipation and adaptation effects. For testing we specify several...

A growing polarization of society accompanied with an erosion of the middle class experiences more and more attention at least in the German recent economic and social policy discussion. Our study contributes to the polarization discussion with respect to multidimensional theoretical measurement...

Income as the traditional one dimensional measure in well-being and poverty analyses is extended in recent studies by a multidimensional poverty concept. Though this is certainly a progress, however, two important aspects are missing: time as an important dimension and the interdependence of the...

Microsimulation models allow targeted simulations to analyze the impacts of alternative policies, measures, scenarios based on microunits like persons, families, households, firms etc. Meanwhile it is out of question that microsimulation models are a helpful, successful and an imperative...

Entrepreneurs and freelancers, the self-employed, commonly are characterized as not only to be relatively rich in income but also as to be rich in time because of their time-sovereignty in principle. Our introducing study scrutinises these results and notions about the well-being situation of...

In dieser Studie wird die Ungleichheit und Polarisierung der Einkommen in Deutschland in den letzten 30 Jahren untersucht. Neben der reinen eindimensionalen Einkommensbetrachtung wird dafür auch erstmals die Entwicklung der multidimensionalen Ungleichheit und Polarisierung von Einkommen und...

In dieser Studie werden Zeit, Wohlstand und Zufriedenheit mit einem interdependenten multidimensionalen (IMD) Polarisierungsansatz von Zeit und Einkommen und der Entwicklung über 20 Jahre in Deutschland analysiert. Mit dem neuen Ansatz zur multidimensionalen Polarisierungsintensität (2DGAP)...
