Fundamentally linked to the social market economy is the idea that everyone has the opportunity for social advancement, regardless of their social background, and that children should be better off than their parents.
IW Distribution Report 2022: Influence of structural changes on income distribution
Maximilian Stockhausen
Academization, immigration and demographic change are defining issues of our time and influence the distribution of income. This year's report therefore focuses on the question of which long-term structural changes in the net income distribution are associated with a higher average level of education, increased net immigration and a higher share of older fellow citizens in the total population.
A Focus on the Middle Class - Demarcation, Development and Mobility

Who Nurses When and How Much?: An Inventory of Home Nursing Care in Germany
Susanna Kochskämper / Silvia Neumeister / Maximilian Stockhausen

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.

Mariano Calderón / Judith Niehues / Maximilian Stockhausen
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.
