Would universal health insurance lead to more solidarity?
Martin Beznoska / Jochen Pimpertz / Maximilian Stockhausen

Who Nurses When and How Much?: An Inventory of Home Nursing Care in Germany
Susanna Kochskämper / Silvia Neumeister / Maximilian Stockhausen
German society is ageing and the need for nursing care is increasing. In 2017, just under 5 million people claimed to be providing nursing care in a private setting. An analysis of the data from the Socio-Economic Panel provides a heterogeneous picture of how the home care burden is shared.

Stable Through the Crisis?: Distributional Consequences of the Corona Pandemic - A Microsimulation Analysis
Martin Beznoska / Judith Niehues / Maximilian Stockhausen
The corona pandemic has had a decisive impact on the year 2020 and, at least in recent times, has had an unprecedented (negative) impact on society and the economy. At the core of this simulation study is therefore the question of how the corona pandemic has affected income levels and social inequality in Germany, and to what extent automatic stabilizers of the social security system and additional financial aid measures have been able to cushion distortions caused by the crisis.

Distributional analyses often focus on either income or wealth. However, a comprehensive picture of the material well-being of a nation’s households can only be obtained by considering both variables together.

The sharp rise in rents and housing prices in the 2010s, particularly in the major conurbations, has led some to assert that housing is “the social question of our time”.
Pekka Sagner / Maximilian Stockhausen / Michael Voigtländer IW
How are income and wealth distributed in Germany? There is often no simple answer to this seemingly simple question, sometimes not even a clear one. Various social and structural changes have very different effects on the distribution of income and wealth: an ageing population, a tendency to live alone or an increasing share of the population with migration background along with economic changes amidst a deepening globalization and digitalization.

How can spouses be taxed both efficiently and fairly? It is not possible to formulate a universally valid solution to this question from a pure tax system point of view, because it depends on the underlying assumptions and norms.
Martin Beznoska / Tobias Hentze / Susanna Kochskämper / Maximilian Stockhausen IW
In this analysis, 2012 SOEP data was used to examine how many people in Germany have cared for their relatives and to what extent, and how this group can be described according to selected socio-economic characteristics such as age, gender, income, and assets.
