This thesis studies the determinants of interethnic relationships between non-migrants and migrants. Theoretically, the thesis builds on the idea that three mechanisms might influence the patterns of relationship formation: opportunities, preferences, and third parties. The introductory part of the thesis reviews the literature in the field. Building on this review, I develop a research agenda. Three ...

On their way to host countries, refugees are often exposed to severe adversity, including cumulative experiences of fraud, extortion, robbery, detention, and shipwrecks, as well as prolonged, life-threatening small boat crossings. However, little research has examined the long-term impact of such peri-migration stressors on subsequent stress and mental health after arrival. This study explored how ...

Die vorliegende Studie basiert auf Daten von 6155 Müttern aus den Erhebungswellen des sozioökonomischen Panels (SOEP) 2019 und 2021. ...

This work presents evidence of causal effects of parental education on children’s health behaviors and long-term health. I study intergenerational effects of a compulsory schooling increase in Germany, exploiting the staggered introduction of the reform with difference-in-differences models and event studies. Maternal schooling reduces children’s smoking and being overweight in adolescence. The effects ...

Background: Characterized by uncertainty and recurring periods of social isolation, the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in increases of loneliness and distress in young adults, such as university students. Despite the lifting of the last restrictions in Germany in April 2023, the state of mental health in vulnerable groups after the three-year global crisis remains to be investigated. Therefore, we aimed ...

Background Health system resilience, the ability of a health system to maintain its functions under stress, has received increasing attention in recent years. Shortcomings in health system resilience are often most visible in the most vulnerable settings, including the care for asylum seekers and refugees. We therefore examined how the German health system responded to challenges and uncertainties ...

This paper examines the factors shaping refugees? institutionalised and generalised trust, focusing on three key influences: (1) pre-arrival migration effects, such as experiences of trauma; (2) asylum procedure effects, including the length and outcome of the process and perceptions of fairness; and (3) post-procedure effects, particularly the context of reception. Using data from the IAB-BAMF-SOEP ...
