Krieg und Verfolgung führen oft dazu, dass Geflüchtete sich nicht ausreichend auf die Migration vorbereiten können. Daher fehlen ihnen häufig wichtige Informationen über berufliche Anforderungen und die Funktionsweise des Arbeitsmarktes in Deutschland. Das kann die Wahrnehmungen und die Einschätzungen von arbeitsuchenden Geflüchteten über Erwerbschancen und erzielbare Löhne verzerren. Dieser Bericht ...

A definite answer would be crucial for economic policy-making. The goal of this paper is to show that the evidential foundations of this debate can be advanced with survey data on wellbeing. For this purpose, ...

Utilizing the German residential allocation and residency obligation policies, which can be regarded as a natural experiment, we investigate the causal effect of the local supply of language courses on refugees' labor market integration. By restricting refugees? initial and post-arrival regional mobility, these policies allow us to circumvent the potential problems of initial and post-arrival ...

The literature argues that linguistic enclaves negatively affect immigrants? language proficiency by reducing their exposure and incentives to learn destination language. This negative association may, however, be spurious, arising due to the self-selection of immigrants into regions with larger enclaves. Exploiting the natural experiment of the German residential policy, this paper analyses the influence ...

Emerging evidence has highlighted the important role of local contexts for integration trajectories of asylum seekers and refugees. Germany's policy of randomly allocating asylum seekers across Germany may advantage some and disadvantage others in terms of opportunities for equal participation in society. This study explores the question whether asylum seekers that have been allocated to rural ...
