Bio of Council Members

Joachim R. Frick is a Deputy Director of the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) and Senior Research Manager at the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW Berlin). He received his Ph.D. in Social Science in 1996 and a Habilitation degree in Empirical Economics at the Berlin University of Technology (TU Berlin) in 2006, where he currently is acting professor (Lehrstuhlvertretung) for "Empirical Economics". He is a Research Fellow at IZA Bonn since 2004.

Being a producer as well as an analyst of high quality panel data in, Frick’s general research interests are in the fields of welfare economics (wealth and income inequality, mobility, subjective wellbeing) as well as in methodological issues related to the measurement of economic outcomes (item-non-response, imputation, non-cash incomes). In both of these areas, a major focus is on cross-national comparability. Frick is coordinating the inclusion of SOEP data in a range of international databases (e.g. CNEF, ECHP, LIS and LWS). Over the period 2003-06 he was Head of Services of the EPUNet (European Panel Users Network), a project targeted at enhancing the use of ECHP. Since 2006 Frick is Co-PI of the EU-funded research project AIM-AP (Accurate Income Measurement for the Assessment of Public Policies) focusing on the relevance of various types of non-cash incomes for economic well-being as well as on determinants of non-take up of social benefits in cross-national perspective.

Frick has been actively involved in various IARIW conferences as presenter, commentator, and session co-chairman.

Publications in peer reviewed journal articles are related to both of these strands of his research. Frick is (co-author of “Regional Income Stratification in Unified Germany using a Gini Decomposition Approach” (Regional Studies 2008), “Income Satisfaction and Relative Deprivation: An Empirical Link” (Social Indicators Research 2007), “Using Analysis of Gini (ANoGi) for detecting whether two sub-samples represent the same universe” (Sociological Methods & Research, 2006), “Item-non-response on income questions in panel surveys: incidence, imputation and the impact on inequality and mobility” (Allgemeines Statistisches Archiv, 2005), “Imputed Rent and Income Inequality: A Decomposition Analysis for the U.K., West Germany, and the USA” (Review of Income and Wealth, 2003), “A Comparison of Alternative Measures of Economic Well-Being for Germany and the United States” (Review of Income and Wealth, 1997).
