Akkoyunlu, Sule (contributor); … - 2006

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...

Circular movements And time away from the host country

Constant, Amelie; Zimmermann, Klaus F. - 2003

The economic literature has largely overlooked the importance of repeat migration. This paper studies repeat or circular migration as it is manifested by the frequency of exits of migrants living in Germany, and by the number of years being away from the host country using count data models....

The effect of migration on careers of natives : evidence from long-term care

Haan, Peter; Wnuk, Izabela - 2024

This paper examines the effect of increasing foreign staffing on the labor market outcomes of native workers in the German long-term care sector. Using administrative social security data covering the universe of long-term care workers and policy-induced exogenous variation, we find that...

Regionality revisited : an examination of the direction of spread of currency crisis

Dasgupta, Amil; Leon-Gonzalez, Roberto; Shortland, Anja - 2010 - This draft: March 2010

What determines the direction of spread of currency crises? We examine data on waves of currency crises in 1992, 1994, 1997, and 1998 to evaluate several hypotheses on the determinants of contagion. We simultaneously consider trade competition, financial links, and institutional similarity to...

Bayesian inference for structural vector autoregressions identified by Markov-switching heteroskedasticity

Lütkepohl, Helmut; Woźniak, Tomasz - 2017

In order to identify structural shocks that affect economic variables, restrictions need to be imposed on the parameters of structural vector autoregressive (SVAR) models. Economic theory is the primary source of such restrictions. However, only over-identifying restrictions can be tested with...

Partial identification of heteroskedastic structural VARs : theory and Bayesian inference

Lütkepohl, Helmut; Shang, Fei; Uzeda, Luis; Woźniak, … - 2024

We consider structural vector autoregressions identified through stochastic volatility. Our focus is on whether a particular structural shock is identified by heteroskedasticity without the need to impose any sign or exclusion restrictions. Three contributions emerge from our exercise: (i) a set...

Networks and selection in international migration to Spain

Neubecker, Nina; Smolka, Marcel; Steinbacher, Anne - 2013 - This version: May 2013

This paper provides new evidence on migrant networks as determinants of the total size (scale) and skill structure of migration, using aggregate data from a recent migration boom to Spain. We draw upon McFadden (1984, 1422-1428) in order to develop and apply a three-level nested multinomial...

Migration, co-ordination failures and EU enlargement

Boeri, Tito (contributor); Brücker, Herbert (contributor) - 2005

EU leaders are well aware of the relevance of migration in the European policy agenda. Thirty-two pages out of forty-eight of the Presidency Conclusions at the November 2004 European Council were devoted to migration policies. Economic theory suggests that there is a strong case for policy...

Labor mobility and the integration of European labor markets

Zimmermann, Klaus F. - 2009

This paper outlines the importance of labor mobility for the improvement in allocating and distributing economic …. However, internal European barriers to mobility are difficult to break through. An improved transparency of the European labor … market, a greater command of languages and a standardization of the social security system can strengthen mobility. The key …
