New paper accepted in Soziale Welt! In this research note, I provide some practical guidelines for researchers investigation gender differences what one needs to think about in terms of sample selection and empirical specification used and its implications for the findings.

Political science also has qualitative work, this should be no excuse for the lack of reproducability criteria in empirical papers. It also seems correct to me that the credibility revolution has not fully reached sociology, even for quantitative empirical papers.

Even if you do not care about the political beliefs of researchers, columns II and III on transparency and causal identification in sociology should worry you (although, of course, there is valuable descriptive research):

In addition to wellbeing our (@mcollischon.bsky.social) research also shows that the pandemic affected social trust.

In ongoing work, we also show how wage inequality and refugee migration in the context of multiple crises affect trust.

COVID-19 and well-being🧵
In a series of papers, colleagues and show that the COVID-19 pandemic had a negative effect on mental health and subjective well-being. Well-being declines in esp. for young people in the school-to-work-transition and for women with care responsibilities.

Hat sich Deutschland politisch auseinandergelebt? Grenzen sich Anhänger der unterschiedlichen politischen Gruppen auch räumlich vermehrt voneinander ab? Finden wir politisch typische und untypische Orte eher in den Metropolen, in den mittleren und kleineren Städten oder auf dem Land? In Ost- oder in Westdeutschland? Mit einem einzigartigen Datenschatz zum Wahlverhalten in allen 94.000 Wahlbezirken Deutschlands geht Ansgar Hudde diesen Fragen nach und entdeckt: Die Mehrheit der Deutschen lebt nicht in politischen Blasen, sondern in Nachbarschaften, deren Wahlverhalten grob dem Bundestrend entspricht.
Das Buch verknüpft die Analyse von Wahlergebnissen mit sozialstrukturellen Daten und Gesprächen vor Ort und zeichnet dadurch kenntnisreich Lokalporträts ausgewählter deutscher Orte. Hudde identifiziert vier Wahlmuster in Deutschlands Nachbarschaften: das politische Typischdeutschland, vor allem in westdeutschen Klein- und Mittelstädten, das Konservativ-Wahlmuster im ländlichen Bayern, das AfD-trifft-Linke-Wahlmuster in Ostdeutschland jenseits der Großstadtzentren und das Grün-Links-Wahlmuster in den zentrumsnahen Vierteln von Metropolen und Universitätsstädten. Wer diese Wahlmuster kennt und ein Bild von den charakteristischen Orten und Nachbarschaften vor Augen hat, kennt nicht nur Deutschlands politische Landkarte, sondern gewinnt auch ein tieferes Verständnis der Bundesrepublik insgesamt. Eine aufschlussreiche Analyse, die auch die Bundestagswahl 2025 einschließt!
»Ansgar Hudde entwickelt in seinem Buch eine Kartografie des Wahlverhaltens, die eindrücklich zeigt: Orte und Regionen machen einen Unterschied. Deutschland tickt sehr anders, je nachdem, wo man sich befindet. Eine willkommene Landkarte zur Navigation durch die politische Landschaft.« Steffen Mau
Ab in den Druck!🎉

Overall, we find negative effects of disability on labor market outcomes. However, our findings reveal that many individuals still remain employed. Targeted measures for disabled individuals could support the integration of disabled individuals in the labor market. 9/10

Regarding channels of the effects, we find a substantial increase in days in nonemployment. Furthermore, for those who remain employed, we find an increased likelihood to work part-time, change the employer and work in less demanding jobs. 8/10

These effects are mirrored by decreasing pay. Both annual labor earnings and daily wages decrease for those who become disabled. 7/10

We begin by investigating employment effects: employment overall and also in days worked per year decreases substantially after becoming disabled. 6/10

In our main analysis, we match individuals two years before reporting a disability to comparable individuals who do not become disabled using propensity score matching. We then compare the treatment and control groups’ labor market trajectories using an event study approach. 5/10

The data allows us to investigate labor market outcomes before and after disability is registered with German authorities. Descriptively, we observe a substantial drop in earnings and days employed after becoming disabled. 4/10

Disabilities are a widespread issue: according to the OECD, one in seven adults was identified as having a disability. This number is likely to grow due to an aging population, so understanding its consequences is key to design effective policy responses. 2/10
