Germany's policy of randomly allocating asylum seekers across Germany may advantage some and disadvantage others in terms of opportunities for equal participation in society. This study explores the question whether asylum seekers that have been allocated to rural areas experience disadvantages in terms of language acquisition compared to those allocated to urban areas. We derive testable assumptions using a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) which are then tested using large-N survey data (IAB-BAMF-SOEP refugee survey). We find that living in a rural area has no negative total effect on language skills. Further the findings suggest that the "null effect" is the result of two processes which offset each other: while asylum seekers in rural areas have slightly lower access for formal, federally organized language courses, they have more regular exposure to German speakers.}, language = {en} } @article{KohlerBradyGuerraetal.2023, author = {Kohler, Ulrich and Brady, David and Guerra, Christian and Link, Bruce}, title = {The long term relationship between medicaid expansion and adult life-threatening chronic conditions}, series = {Social policy and administration}, volume = {58}, journal = {Social policy and administration}, number = {1}, publisher = {Wiley-Blackwell}, address = {Oxford}, issn = {0037-7643}, doi = {10.1111/spol.12942}, pages = {39 -- 60}, year = {2023}, abstract = {We test whether the expansions of children's Medicaid eligibility in the 1980s-1990s resulted in long-term health benefits in terms of severe chronic conditions. Still relatively rare in the field, we use prospective individual-level panel data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) along with the higher quality income measures from the Cross-National Equivalent File (adjusting for taxes, transfers and household size). We observe severe chronic conditions (high blood pressure/heart disease, cancer, diabetes, or lung disease) at ages 30-56 (average age 43.1) for 4670 respondents who were also prospectively observed during childhood (i.e., at ages 0-17). Our analysis exploits within-region temporal variation in childhood Medicaid eligibility and adjusts for state- and individual-level controls. We uniquely concentrate attention on adjusting for childhood income. A standard deviation greater childhood Medicaid eligibility significantly reduces the probability of severe chronic conditions in adulthood by 0.05 to 0.12 (16\%-37.5\% reduction from mean 0.32). Across the range of observed childhood Medicaid eligibility, the probability is approximately cut in half. Greater childhood Medicaid eligibility also substantially reduces childhood income disparities in severe chronic conditions. At higher levels of childhood Medicaid eligibility, we find no significant childhood income disparities in adult severe chronic conditions.}, language = {en} } @misc{KrawietzKohlerClassetal.2020, author = {Krawietz, Marian and Kohler, Ulrich and Class, Fabian and Albrecht, Sophia and Feuerstein, Collin}, title = {The potsdam grievance statistic File (PGSF)}, doi = {10.4232/1.12993}, year = {2020}, abstract = {Der Potsdam Grievance Statistics File (PGSF) ist eine historische Datensammlung von Beschwerden, sog.
