    The German law on co-determination at the plant level (Betriebsverfassungsgesetz) stipulates that works councilors are neither to be financially rewarded nor penalized for their activities. This regulation contrasts with publicized instances of excessive payments. The divergence has sparked a debate about the need to reform the law. This paper provides representative evidence on wage payments to works councilors for the period 2001 to 2015. We find wage premia of 2% to 6% in OLS-specifications, which are more pronounced for long-term works councilors. Moreover, we observe no wage premia in linear fixed-effects panel data specifications, suggesting that the OLS-results capture the effect of selection into works councillorship. We obtain no evidence for a delayed compensation or a special treatment of works councilors released from work. Hence, our results indicate that payments to works councilors are broadly in line with legal regulations.

    This study contributes to the subjective well-being and retirement literature by quantifying life satisfaction before (4) and after retirement (9+) periods asking: Are retirees more satisfied? Fixed-effects and causal instrumental variables (IV) estimates with individual longitudinal data of the Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP, 33 waves) analyze anticipation and adaptation retirement effects of statutory insured and civil service pensioners in Germany. Main findings: The occupational situation absorbs a positive personal and family influence. There are positive anticipation effects before retirement followed by adaptation instantly when retired both for statutory insured and civil service pensioners. With neutral respectively negative post-retirement adaptation there is no positive retirement effect for both pensioner groups. In short: retirees are not more satisfied, a remarkable result both for statutory insured and civil service pensioners.

Diese Studie trägt zur Literatur der Zufriedenheit und dem Renteneintritt mit einer Quantifizierung der Lebenszufriedenheit vor (4) und nach (9+) Rentenperioden bei und fragt: Sind Rentner zufriedener? Fixed-effects und kausale Instrumental Variablen (IV) Schätzungen mit individuellen Längsschnittdaten des Sozio-ökonomischen Panels (SOEP, 33 Wellen) analysieren Antizipations- und Adaptionseffekte des Renteneintritts von gesetzlich Versicherten und Pensionären in Deutschland. Hauptergebnis: Die berufliche Situation absorbiert einen positiven individuellen und familiären Einfluss. Es gibt positive Antizipationseffekte vor dem Renteneintritt gefolgt von Adaption direkt nach dem Renteneintritt sowohl für gesetzlich Versicherte als auch für Pensionäre. Mit neutraler respektive negativer Adaption gibt es keinen längeren positiven Renteneffekt für beide Ruhestandsgruppen. In Kürze: Rentner sind nicht zufriedener, ein bemerkenswertes Ergebnis für beide Gruppen, gesetzlich Versicherte und Pensionäre.

    We analyse in what way co-determination affects non-compliance with the German minimum wage, which was introduced in 2015. The Works Constitution Act (WCA), the law regulating co-determination at the plant level, provides works councils with indirect means to ensure compliance with the statutory minimum wage. Based on this legal situation, our theoretical model predicts that non-compliance is less likely in co-determined firms because works councils enhance the enforcement of the law. The economic correlates of co-determination, such as higher productivity and wages, affect non-compliance in opposite directions. The empirical analysis, using data from the German Socio-economic Panel (SOEP) for the years 2016 and 2019, demonstrates that non-compliance occurs less often for employees in co-determined establishments, while there is no impact on the difference between the minimum wage and the amount, which was actually paid. Therefore, co-determination helps to secure the payment of minimum wages.
