Immigration and Natives’ Attitudes towards the Welfare State: Evidence from the European Social Survey
TL;DR: The authors found that those who hold either of these negative views of immigrants tend to be less supportive of the welfare state independently of the perceived presence of immigrants, while those who do not hold either negative view are more supportive of immigrants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ethnic diversity, public spending, and individual support for the welfare state: a review of the empirical literature
TL;DR: The authors review the empirical literature that studies the effect of ethnic diversity on public spending and on individual support for the welfare state and put a particular focus on the fast-growing literature that uses experiments to study the effects of diversity.
Journal ArticleDOI
You Can’t Be Happier than Your Wife - Happiness Gaps and Divorce
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the relationship between the gap in subjective happiness between spouses and the probability of separation and found that a higher satisfaction gap, even in the first year of marriage, increases the probability for a separation.
Journal ArticleDOI
You can't be happier than your wife. Happiness gaps and divorce
TL;DR: In this article, the authors use three large panel surveys to explore whether a gap in spouses' subjective happiness matters per se, i.e., whether it predicts divorce. But they find that the relationship between happiness gaps and divorce is consistent with the fact that couples who are unable to transfer utility are more at risk than others.
Journal ArticleDOI
