Patricia Pálffy, Patrick Lehnert, Uschi Backes-Gellner, Social norms and gendered occupational choices of men and women: Time to turn the tide?, Industrial Relations, Vol. 62 (4), 2023. (Journal Article) We analyze the relationship between social gender norms and adolescents' occupational choices by combining regional votes on constitutional amendments on gender equality with job application data from a large job board for apprenticeships. The results show that adolescent males in regions with stronger traditional social gender norms are more likely to apply for typically male occupations. This finding does not hold for females, suggesting that incentivizing men to break the norms and choose gender-atypical occupations (e.g., in healthcare) can be even more effective in accelerating advancement toward gender equality in the labor market than incentivizing women to choose STEM occupations.

Uschi Backes-Gellner, Patrick Lehnert, Berufliche Bildung als Innovationstreiber: Ein lange vernachlässigtes Forschungsfeld, Perspektiven der Wirtschaftspolitik, Vol. 24 (1), 2023. (Journal Article) Länder mit einer starken Betonung der beruflichen Bildung in ihren Bildungs- und Innovationssystemen, beispielsweise Deutschland und die Schweiz, zählen seit Jahren zu den innovativsten der Welt. Gleichzeitig konstatiert internationale Innovationsforschung, dass ein hoher Akademisierungsgrad (und damit gerade nicht die berufliche Bildung) für starke Innovationsleistungen unabdinglich ist. Wie lässt sich dieser Widerspruch erklären? In diesem Überblicksartikel zeigen Uschi Backes-Gellner und Patrick Lehnert anhand einer Aufarbeitung neuer Forschungserkenntnisse, warum die deutschsprachigen Länder nicht trotz, sondern gerade auch wegen ihres Berufsbildungssystems hochinnovativ sind. Zu den erforderlichen institutionellen Rahmenbedingungen für diesen Effekt gehören dabei die zukunftsorientierte Gestaltung und Aktualisierung von Berufsausbildungscurricula, die Vermittlung von breiten beruflichen (statt engen betriebsspezifischen) Kompetenzen in dualen Berufsausbildungsprogrammen, ein durchlässiges Bildungssystem mit attraktiven Karrierepfaden sowie eine Verknüpfung von tertiärer beruflicher Bildung und angewandter Forschung.
Patrick Lehnert, Michael Niederberger, Uschi Backes-Gellner, Eric Bettinger, Proxying economic activity with daytime satellite imagery: Filling data gaps across time and space, PNAS Nexus, Vol. 2 (4), 2023. (Journal Article) This paper develops a novel procedure for proxying economic activity with daytime satellite imagery across time periods and spatial units, for which reliable data on economic activity are otherwise not available. In developing this unique proxy, we apply machine-learning techniques to a historical time series of daytime satellite imagery dating back to 1984. Compared to satellite data on night light intensity, another common economic proxy, our proxy more precisely predicts economic activity at smaller regional levels and over longer time horizons. We demonstrate our measure’s usefulness for the example of Germany, where East German data on economic activity are unavailable for detailed regional levels and historical time series. Our procedure is generalizable to any region in the world, and it has great potential for analyzing historical economic developments, evaluating local policy reforms, and controlling for economic activity at highly disaggregated regional levels in econometric applications.
