Profil

Zusammenfassung

Prof. Lersch erforscht die Entstehung und Weitergabe von Vermögensungleichheit über Generationen und Lebensphasen hinweg. Sein Schwerpunkt liegt auf dem Verständnis, wie persönliche Lebensereignisse – Heirat, Elternschaft, Wohnungskauf, Trennung – die Vermögensbildung von Männern und Frauen unterschiedlich beeinflussen. Seine Expertise ist für Unternehmen relevant, die Fragen zur Vermögensverteilung, Geschlechterparität in wirtschaftlichen Outcomes oder zur Wirkung von Lebensereignissen auf finanzielle Stabilität untersuchen.

• Observing many researchers using the same data and hypothesis reveals a hidden universe of uncertainty

  2022

  Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences · 214 Zitationen · DOI

  This study explores how researchers' analytical choices affect the reliability of scientific findings. Most discussions of reliability problems in science focus on systematic biases. We broaden the lens to emphasize the idiosyncrasy of conscious and unconscious decisions that researchers make during data analysis. We coordinated 161 researchers in 73 research teams and observed their research decisions as they used the same data to independently test the same prominent social science hypothesis: that greater immigration reduces support for social policies among the public. In this typical case of social science research, research teams reported both widely diverging numerical findings and substantive conclusions despite identical start conditions. Researchers' expertise, prior beliefs, and expectations barely predict the wide variation in research outcomes. More than 95% of the total variance in numerical results remains unexplained even after qualitative coding of all identifiable decisions in each team's workflow. This reveals a universe of uncertainty that remains hidden when considering a single study in isolation. The idiosyncratic nature of how researchers' results and conclusions varied is a previously underappreciated explanation for why many scientific hypotheses remain contested. These results call for greater epistemic humility and clarity in reporting scientific findings.

• The distribution of housing wealth in 16 European countries: accounting for institutional differences

  2016

  Journal of Housing and the Built Environment · 79 Zitationen · DOI

  Housing wealth is the largest source of household wealth, but we know little about the distribution of housing wealth and how institutions have shaped this distribution. Subsidies for homeownership, privatisation of social housing and mortgage finance liberalisation are likely to have influenced the distribution of housing wealth in recent decades. To examine their impact, we describe housing wealth inequalities across occupational classes for two birth cohorts aged fifty and older. The analysis is conducted across 16 European countries with divergent welfare states and housing systems using the fourth wave of the survey of health, ageing and retirement in Europe (SHARE; 2011/2012). Our results indicate that the expansion of homeownership in a market-based housing system is associated with a more unequal distribution of housing wealth across occupational classes, as an increasing number of 'marginal' owners are drawn into precarious homeownership. Such a pattern is not found in housing wealth accumulation regimes with a less market-based provision of housing. When the state or the family drive homeownership expansion, a de-coupling of labour market income and housing consumption results in a more equal distribution of housing wealth.
