This paper performs a comparative analysis of estimation as well as of out-of-sample forecasting results of more than 20 estimators common in the panel data literature using the data on migration to Germany from 18 source countries in the period 1967-2001. Our results suggest that the choice of an estimation procedure has a substantial impact on the parameter estimates of the migration function. Out-of-sample ...

This paper questions the perceived wisdom that migrants are more risk-loving than the native population. We employ a new large German survey of direct individual risk measures to find that first-generation migrants have lower risk attitudes than natives, which only equalize in the second generation.

This paper uses a state of the art three-stage estimation technique to identify the determinants of the self-employed immigrant and native men in Germany. Their making is surprisingly alike. Employing data from the German Socioeconomic Panel 2000 (GSOEP) release we find that self-employment is not significantly affected by exposure to Germany or by human capital. But this choice has a very strong intergenerational ...

The paper provides a new measure of the ethnic identity of immigrants and explores its evolution in the host country. The ethnosizer, a measure of the intensity of a person's ethnic identity, is constructed from information on the following elements: language, culture, societal interaction, history of migration, and ethnic self-identification. A two-dimensional concept of the ethnosizer classifies ...

Im Rahmen der mit der EU-Integration und mit zukünftigen Erweiterungen verbundenen Freizügigkeitsregelungen stellt sich vermehrt die Frage nach der Integration von Zuwanderern aus Ländern innerhalb und außerhalb Europas. In diesem Beitrag fragen wir am Beispiel von Migranten aus drei Herkunftsgruppen (Südwesteuropa, Ex-Jugoslawien, Türkei) danach, unter welchen Bedingungen sich Zuwanderer am ehesten ...

This paper investigates the causal effect of geographic labour mobility on income. The returns to German East-West migration and commuting are estimated exploiting the structure of centrally planned economies and a "natural experiment" of German reunification for identification. I find that migration premium is insignificantly different from zero, the returns for commuters equal to four percent of ...

This study develops a time series model of Turkish migration to Germany for the period 1963-2004 using the cointegration technique. A single cointegrating relation between the migration flow variable and the relative income ratio between Germany and Turkey, the unemployment rates in Germany and Turkey, and the trade variable, that captures intensity of bilateral economic cooperation, is found. By including ...

DIW Wochenbericht 22 / 2006
In Deutschland sind Migranten weit überdurchschnittlich von Arbeitslosigkeit betroffen. Wenn darüber nachgedacht wird, wie diese Gruppe von Arbeitslosen bei der Arbeitssuche unterstützt werden kann, ist es hilfreich, sich mit der Stellenfindung von Migranten detailliert zu beschäftigen. Analysen auf der Basis der Daten des vom DIW Berlin in Zusammenarbeit mit Infratest Sozialforschung erhobenen Sozio-oekonomischen ...
