with Ludovica Gambarro and C. Katharina Spieß
This study examines how student aid eligibility influences application decisions to higher education using administrative data from France. We study the impact of a change in income thresholds for aid eligibility. We find that aid eligibility did not have a uniform effect on students’ applications but varied by gender and academic performance. Highperforming male students shifted their First-Ranked application from non-selective to selective long-term programs. Yet, female students did not show a systematic response. We suggest that female students were more certain in their application choices, while male students faced stronger financial constraints than females when attending long-term selective programs.
Short-time Work and Unemployment: Differences in Labour-market Outcomes, with Katharina Wrohlich and Sabine Zinn
We quantify and compare the differences in career trajectories after a period in short-time work (STW) or sudden unemployment (UE) (incl. employment, work hours, wage, switching firms and unpaid care work) with a special interest in the role of gender differences in these trajectories. We use the SOEP, as well as the newly-available SOEP-CMI-ADIAB.
