“…The analysis is based on data obtained from the GSOEP, an ongoing representative panel survey of private households in Germany starting in 1984 in West Germany and including data from the East German federal states after unification in 1990. The data contain detailed information on employment behavior and sociodemographic characteristics as well as household-oriented information on children, their time of birth, and use of child care (Schröder et al 2020).…”

Most countries still have a significant gender gap in labor force participation, and this gap is especially large for immigrants. Despite this gap, Germany introduced various forms of home care allowances in the last decade. Parallel to the extension of early child care and the inclusion of a legal claim for it, from 2013 to 2015, a nationwide home care allowance existed for parents who did not use public child care for children aged one or two years. After 2015, home care allowances continued to exist in several German federal states. Some politicians strongly criticized this transfer for allegedly decreasing work incentives, particularly for mothers with lower labor market integration, such as immigrant mothers. Using federal state differentiated data obtained from the German Socio-Economic Panel, we investigate the impact of a home care allowance on the labor market participation of mothers. For both native-born and especially immigrant mothers, the effects are significantly negative. We conclude that a home care allowance has negative effects on the labor force participation of mothers of young children, irrespective of the legal claim for and the extension of public child care.

“…To identify the impact of impatience on anti-globalist voting, we make use of data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) study (SOEP 2020;Schröder et al 2020) In what follows, we consider a vote for either the Nationaldemokratische Partei Deutschlands (NPD, National Democratic Party of Germany) or the Alternative für Deutschland (AfD, Alternative for Germany) as a vote against further globalization. The NPD has been the most stable extreme right-wing movement in Germany for a long time.…”

Societies see growing support for populist politicians who advocate an end to globalization. Our behavioral economics model links impatience to voters' appraisals of an income shock due to globalization that is associated with short-run costs and delayed gains. The model shows that impatient individuals may reject further globalization if they are subject to borrowing constraints. Using German data, we confirm that impatient voters choose right-wing anti-globalist parties. Similarly, we show for the United Kingdom that a preference for immediate gratification increases the support for right-wing anti-globalist parties as well as for Brexit. A policy implication of our study is that governments may use up-front redistribution to gain voters' support for further globalization.
