The papers in this special issue of Schmollers
Jahrbuch provide a flavor of the work being carried out by the four hundred research
teams registered as users of the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP). They were
presented at the Fifth International Conference of SOEP Users, held in Berlin on the
5th and 6th of July 2002, and represent several fields of social science as well as
many countries.
A first set of papers analyzes wage and income inequality and mobility. A new method
measuring mobility in different parts of the income distribution is presented in one
study, while a second proposes a decomposition technique to investigate changes in
wage inequality. A third paper tests hypotheses about the nature of the welfare
states by analysing income mobility in three countries: Germany, the Netherlands and
the United States.
A second set of papers examines transitions to and from unemployment. They analyze
determinants of new job-finding and unemployment duration, including the importance
of psychological factors. Aspects of wage determinants play a role in several other
papers, for example the negative correlation between maternity leave and the mother’s
subsequent wage. Another issue related to wage analysis the possible bias arising
from individuals’ not responding to the wage question.
An additional group of papers revolves around the theme of changes in labor force or
personal status and changes in income, documenting, for example, the fall in real
equivalent income experienced by women who become widowed. A final group of papers
exploits various features of the SOEP to examine topics like savings behavior, wage
subsidy schemes and their effect on employment, and the relation between the time a
child’s parents spent caring for him or her and the child’s success at school.
Finally, an interesting paper examines smoking behavior over the life cycle across
four countries.
