Regional disparities in employment of high-skilled foreigners : determinants and options for migration policy in Germany

Carola Burkert; Annekatrin Niebuhr; Rüdiger Wapler

We investigate the regional disparities in high-skilled foreign employment in Germany. The importance of different factors which attract highly qualified migrants to specific regions and the role of labour-migration policy is analysed. Our results show that labour-market variables as well as the supply of tertiary education are important for the location choice. Based on these empirical results we discuss options of decentralized migration policy in Germany. -- Migration ; regional disparities ; labour-migration policy ; Germany
