Where do migrants from countries ridden by environmental conflict settle? : On the scale, selection and sorting of conflict-induced migration

Krieger, Tim; Renner, Laura; Schmid, Lena - 2019

Environmentally induced conflicts can trigger migration. This paper analyzes the location decisions of migrants, i.e., the "sorting" of migrants into alternative destinations. We argue that this sorting depends on a variety of factors. The selection of migrants affects preferences over where to...

Preferences for redistribution and international migration

Kauppinen, Ilpo; Poutvaara, Panu - 2018

Preferences for redistribution and international migration

Kauppinen, Ilpo; Poutvaara, Panu - 2020
