“…The SOEP is an extensive and representative panel study of private households in Germany, covering almost 11,000 households and 22,000 individuals annually. It provides information on all household members, including Germans living in the old and new federal states, foreigners, and recent immigrants (Wagner et al, 2007(Wagner et al, , 2008. Most importantly, it provides information on the geographical locations of the places of residence of individuals, allowing to merge data on residential well-being with data on wind turbines through geographical coordinates.…”

AbstractWe investigate the effect of the physical presence of wind turbines on residential wellbeing in Germany, using panel data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) and a unique novel panel data set on more than 20,000 wind turbines for the time period between 2000 and 2012. Using a Geographical Information System (GIS), we calculate the proximity between households and the nearest wind turbine as the most important determinant of their disamenities, e.g. visual interference into landscape aesthetics.Our unique novel panel data set on wind turbines, which was collected at the regional level, includes their exact geographical coordinates and construction dates. This allows estimating the causal effect of the physical presence of wind turbines on residential wellbeing, using a difference-in-differences design. To ensure comparability of the treatment and control group, we apply propensity-score and novel spatial matching techniques based on exogenous weather data and geographical locations of residence, respectively.We show that the construction of a wind turbine within a treatment radius of 4,000 m...

“…It has been conducted annually since 1984, and includes almost 30,000 individuals in more than 11,000 households in its current wave. The SOEP provides rich information on all household members, covering Germans living in the old and new federal states, foreigners, and recent immigrants (Wagner et al, 2007(Wagner et al, , 2008. Most importantly, it provides information on the volunteering, scholastic involvement, and political interest of youth and adolescents, as well as on their demographic, educational, and parental household characteristics.…”

Can Raising Instructional Time Crowd Out Student Pro-Social Behaviour? Evidence from Germany

PARIS-JOURDAN SCIENCES ECONOMIQUES AbstractWe study whether raising instructional time can crowd out student pro-social behaviour. To this end, we exploit a large educational reform in Germany that has raised weekly instructional hours for high school students by 12.5% as a quasi-natural experiment. Using a difference-in-differences design, we find that this rise has a negative and sizeable effect on volunteering, both at the intensive and at the extensive margin. It also affects political interest. There is no similar crowding out of scholastic involvement, but no substitution either. Impacts seem to be driven by a reduction in available leisure time as opposed to a rise in intensity of instruction, and to be temporary only. Robustness checks, including placebo tests and triple differencing, confirm our results.

Unforeseen consequences and long-term private and professional commitments make it costly to adjust, but at the same time new investments may pay off in a pro-longed future. This dilemma turns many middle-aged people into "frustrated achievers".2
