“…At first sight, support for this presumption can be found especially when focusing on migration flows on a regional level, e.g. concerning emigration from East Germany (Niebuhr et al 2011). Similar findings are reported by Buch (2007a), where an * University of Duisburg-Essen, Institute of Sociology (IfS).…”

Terms of use: Documents in SOEPpapers on Multidisciplinary Panel Data Research at DIW BerlinThis series presents research findings based either directly on data from the German SocioEconomic Panel Study (SOEP) or using SOEP data as part of an internationally comparable data set (e.g. CNEF, ECHP, LIS, LWS, CHER/PACO). SOEP is a truly multidisciplinary household panel study covering a wide range of social and behavioral sciences: economics, sociology, psychology, survey methodology, econometrics and applied statistics, educational science, political science, public health, behavioral genetics, demography, geography, and sport science.The decision to publish a submission in SOEPpapers is made by a board of editors chosen by the DIW Berlin to represent the wide range of disciplines covered by SOEP. There is no external referee process and papers are either accepted or rejected without revision. Papers appear in this series as works in progress and may also appear elsewhere. They often represent preliminary studies and are circulated to encourage discussion. Citation of such a paper should account for its provisional character. A revised version may be requested from the author directly.Any opinions expressed in this series are those of the author(s) and not those of DIW Berlin.Research disseminated by DIW Berlin may include views on public policy issues, but the institute itself takes no institutional policy positions. 07/2014Abstract: In the light of persistent regional disparities in Germany, a wide range of studies discuss the role of regional characteristics in explaining the mobility behavior of individuals. Although multi-stage mobility theories underline the importance of regional structures particularly within the first stage of the decision-making process -whereas the actual mobility behavior is often seen as being dependent on intervening factors and restrictions -only few studies consider contextual characteristics while modeling mobility intentions or dispositions. Above all the potentially varying subjective evaluation of local opportunity structures of different groups of actors is rarely taken into account in previous empirical investigations. In order to close this gap, the present study models mobility dispositions as a function of individual as well as regional covariates and also includes interactions between these two levels. With this approach, some light can be shed on the underlying mechanisms concerning regional structures in the de...

Economic prospects of cities depend on high qualified workers' knowledge and therefore, attracting highly qualified workers plays a fundamental role for cities' prospects. This study contributes to the question which factors primarily determine the mobility-decision of highly qualified workers by investigating the determinants of the migration balance of German cities between 2000 and 2010. Furthermore, it compares the effects of several labour-and amenity-related variables on migration rates of highly qualified workers and the remaining workforce. Findings suggest that local labour market conditions influence the mobility decision but amenities matter too for the high-skilled. The preferences of the highly qualified workers partly differ from those of the rest of the workforce. However, there are also several factors that do not show systematic differences across skill groups.

“…According to observations of Barro and Sala-i-Martin (2004), the effect of net migration on GDP per capita rate is small and positive, affecting the convergence parameter in a positive way. Etzo (2008) and Ozgen et al (2010) offered surveys of the literature on this topic and Niebuhr et al (2012) proposed an application for German economy. Barro and Sala-i-Martin (2004) discovered a negative impact of migration on GDP per capita growth.…”

and Hungary. The Bayesian approach is utilized for checking whether Poland and Ukraine have similar expectation of GDP and net migration during 1991-2013. A negative correlation was recorded between net migration and the real GDP rate in the previous period. During the period of 1991-1994 corresponding to transition, each 10 percent increase in the GDP rate caused a 0.6 percent decrease in net migration at the significance level of 5%. A higher increase was registered in the economic depression (1994)(1995)(1996)(1997)(1998)(1999)(2000), while the greater decrease, with 4.58 percentage points for each 10 per cent in the GDP rate, was observed for the period of economic boom. Computing the differences between Ukraine and Poland, we obtained the expectations of -17.7187 and 15.745 with a higher variance of the estimator for Ukraine.
