Mattis Beckmannshagen

Mattis Beckmannshagen serves as a Researcher at the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW Berlin), where he has been a research associate with the Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) since October 2022. His work bridges empirical labor economics and socioeconomic policy analysis within one of Europe's premier longitudinal survey infrastructures.

Beckmannshagen completed his doctoral studies at Freie Universität Berlin as part of the PhD program in Public Economics and Inequality. His academic foundation centers on rigorous quantitative methods applied to socioeconomic disparities.

His research program critically examines labor supply determinants through three interconnected lenses: income inequality dynamics in evolving labor markets, health-work interdependencies including shock absorption mechanisms, and preference-driven working time patterns. He pioneers methodological innovations for analyzing censored administrative data while investigating minimum wage impacts and gender-specific labor market responses. His empirical approach leverages SOEP's unique longitudinal design to capture causal pathways in socioeconomic behavior.

Analysis of his publication trajectory reveals consistent focus on labor market frictions, with recent work intensifying examination of health-related employment disruptions and methodological solutions for top-coded earnings data. His output demonstrates growing engagement with policy translation, evidenced by frequent DIW Weekly Report contributions addressing German labor market trends.

Beckmannshagen leads critical data infrastructure initiatives including SOEP-RV (linking with German Pension Insurance records) and SOEP-CMI-ADIAB (integration with employment research databases). These projects significantly expand analytical possibilities for studying life-course socioeconomic trajectories through enhanced administrative linkages while maintaining strict privacy protocols.
