Bibliographical note

Funding Information:
The dataset was conducted in the research project ‘‘Labour and Fairness – The Acceptance of Employment and Wage Adjustment in Germany’’ (‘‘Arbeit und Gerechtigkeit – Die Akzeptanz von Lohn-und Beschäftigungsanpassungen in Deutschland’’) by the Institute of Empirical Economic Research, University of Hannover, and the Institute of Sociology, Friedrich Schiller University of Jena, and was financed by the Hans Böckler Stiftung (Struck et al., 2006). In a representative telephone survey more than 3000 individuals between the age of 20 and 60 years were asked several scenarios and questions about fairness perceptions of layoffs and wage cuts in summer 2004. To control for individual characteristics, we gathered sociodemo-graphic and occupational information. Since our research team was interested in an East-West German comparison, about half of the respondents were located in East Germany and the other half in West Germany.
