This paper assesses a recent prediction of the theoretical migration literature, according to which migration may be driven by a desire to avoid social humiliation rising from occupational stigma. To this end, we study the residential mobility of workers in occupations with relatively low...

Der Migrationsstrom eines Landes in ein anderes Land hängt positiv von den bereits vor Ort befindlichen Migranten gleicher Nationalität (bzw. gleicher Herkunft) ab. Dieser Effekt wird in der Literatur häufig als Netzwerkeffekt bezeichnet. Wir zeigen in diesem Beitrag anhand der Migration nach...

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...

Die Zahl der Zuwanderer nach Deutschland ist in jüngster Zeit stark gestiegen. Zu vermehrten Zuzügen kam es vor allem aus den 2004 und 2007 der EU beigetretenen ost- und südosteuropäischen Staaten. Zudem hat die Migration aus Südeuropa wieder an Bedeutung gewonnen. Ein erheblicher Teil der...

Recently, the number of immigrants to Germany, especially from the eastern and southeastern European countries that joined the EU in 2004 or 2007, has risen sharply. In addition, migration from southern Europe has regained importance. Many migrants have come to take up some training, the vast...

This paper provides new evidence on migrant networks as determinants of the scale and skill structure of migration, using aggregate data from a recent migration boom to Spain. We develop a three-level nested multinomial logit migration model. Our model accommodates varying degrees of similarity...
