Gedanken zu ifo-Studie: Die Studie ist gut gemacht und aufschlussreich, weil sie auf räumliche Faktoren hinweist, die in der Flucht/Kriminalitätsdebatte selten diskutert werden. Dennoch gibt sie mEn die sehr starken Schlüsse nicht vollständig her.

Place matters. *Regionale* Faktoren können die höhere Kriminalität Zugewanderter fast vollständig erklären. Der Rest ist Demografie.

What is more, once we condition on these spatial characteristics, the initially strong relationship with unemployment disappears.

We show that measures of each of these potential attractors actually predict where refugees move to, when they move after initial restriction expire.

Many of the resources that recent refugees value are concentrated in areas that, yup, also have higher unemployment rates: urban areas, co-ethnic networks, and, above all, housing. In other words: many refugees have little choice but to settle in comparatively deprived areas.

Why is that? Using individual-level panel data, we show that part of the answer is that refugees moved to higher unemployment counties once restrictions on their place of residence expired.

In fact, the refugee share of the population increased the more, the higher unemployment was in a county. This is true in East and West.

We know that refugees are highly unequally distributed in 🇩🇪. There are more refugees in cities and more in the Western part of the country, particularly in the postindustrial Ruhr area. Interestingly, rich Bavaria hosts fewer refugees than other parts of the country.

Refugees in 🇩🇪 are not allowed to relocate for some time after arrival. We know this is bad for integration. So, once they are allowed to, refugees move to places with opportunity, right?
On average: no, as @mschaeffer.bsky.social and I show in a new publication @scmrjems.bsky.social
