Germany’s economy is so bad even sausage factories are closingIWHThe Economist, January 15, 2026
The aim of this workshop is to bring together original economic and inter-disciplinary papers that cast some light on new developments in theoretical and empirical research from all fields of local public economics and local public finance. The workshop should also give PhD students an opportunity of presenting and discussing their research results.
This paper documents the share of investable wealth that middle-class U.S. investors hold in the stock market over their working lives. This share rises modestly early in life and falls significantly as people approach retirement.
