We analyse the convergence and heterogeneity of living standards between East and West Germany since unification. Based on data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP), we compare total individual income of permanent adult residents, including retirees and the unemployed, of East and West Germany over the fifteen years for which data are available. Using a fixed effects vector decompositio...

The paper sets up a two-region endogenous growth model to discuss growth and regional convergence of uni ed Germany. It emphasises the role of private and public capital accumulation during the developing process. The theoretical part derives scal policy rules which establish convergence of regional output per capital and convergence of regional human wealth. To assess the speed of convergence ...

We examine job creation and destruction in Eastern and Western Germany for the period of 1999 to 2004, using a large dataset, which enables us to capture clearly entries and exits. There are pronounced differences between the two parts of Germany in terms of magnitude and composition of gross job flows. Considering interaction effects between all variables, weighted regressions show that job cr...

This paper investigates the impact of immigration on the transition to motherhood among women from Turkey, Italy, Spain, Greece, and the former Yugoslavia in West Germany. A hazard-regression analysis is applied to data of the German SocioEconomic Panel study. We distinguish between the first and second immigrant generation. The results show that the transition rates to a first birth of first-g...
