We evaluate the role of time preferences in educational decision making, when deviating from the standard-neoclassical assumption of exponential discounting. Based on a dynamic structural life-cycle model we analyse the importance of the discount factor for policy simulations. This is done by considering two relevant policies: (1.) a change in the state grant for students (BaföG) as a way to ...

Optimistic individuals search more but reject more offers, with an ambiguous effect on unemployment duration. Based on extensive survey data from Germany, we confirm previous evidence ...

We investigate the importance of the bank lending and firm borrowing channel in the transmission of shocks to trading returns of banks to real investment of firms. For the analysis we match individual firm and bank financial statements in Germany for the period of 2004-2010.
