“…Since our sample consisted largely of people out of work at the time of the interview, the question also arises whether they had any prospect of work again at all. However, there is clear evidence that interviewees made direct comparisons between their own income or what they would earn if in employment and their possible income in the destination countrywhich is in line with arguments of economic authors like Straubhaar (1988) or Stark (1993). The following statement is typical: "There are a few more motives, but I would say that the financial incentive made the whole decision a whole lot easier" (I.…”

“…In economic theories of migration, intentions to migrate are quite often seen in the context of labour market opportunities (Feithen 1986;Straubhaar 1988;Zimmermann 2005). Economic factors in the regions of origin and destination, so-called push and pull factors, are at the centre of the explanatory model.…”

German migration within Europe has so far received little attention from researchers. This is especially true of migrants with intermediate qualifications (vocational training, technical school, master craftsman's certificate). The present contribution is devoted to this phenomenon and examines the reasons why people belonging to this particular group migrate. To do this we pick up on central theoretical arguments in migration research, on the basis of which we examine the relevance of economic and social factors for Germans who migrate within Europe. It emerges that, empirically, for Germans with intermediate qualifications, economic factors are crucial. In particular, unemployment, low or falling wages, as well as poor working conditions in Germany constitute important push factors, while job offers, higher wages and better working conditions in the destination countries constitute the main pull factors. In comparison, social networks are less important factors in migration, since only in a few cases did the interviewees have solid contacts abroad. The empirical results of the study are based on the analysis of available population statistics and 40 problem-centred, biographical interviews

“…Since there are many survey articles on the issue (e.g. Straubhaar, 1988;Ghatak, Levine and Price, 1993;Bauer and Zimmermann, 1995;Vogler, 1999. For a more interdisciplinary view see Massey et al, 1993) the existing literature is reviewed here with a focus on the special problem why migration from the Third World to the industrialized countries has been so low despite high income differentials.…”

ABSTRACTThe Effects of Development on Migration:Theoretical Issues and New Empirical Evidence * Empirical research on the determinants of international migration including the LDCs has so far neglected one important issue: the complex relationship of development and migration.Since the beginning of the 1990s several arguments have been discussed which hint at the possibility that progress in development of less developed regions might lead to more migration, even if income differentials to the potential destination regions decrease. This paper presents these arguments and tests them for the case of migration to Germany from 86 Asian and African countries from 1981 to 1995. The results confirm the importance of dissolving financial restrictions on migration, migration networks, and changes in the societal structure of the sending countries as well as the existence of a home preference. It is shown, however, that population growth does not necessarily lead to more international migration. The estimations also control for the political situation in the home countries and for institutional measures in the host country.JEL Classific...

“…A large inflow of capital, be it in the form of foreign aid or remittances, might cause an appreciation of the real exchange rate, with negative consequences for the tradable sector in terms of international competitiveness (exports on foreign markets become more expensive while imports on the domestic market become cheaper). 35 Rajan and Subramanian (2005), however, give evidence that private-to-private flows (hence remittances), unlike aid inflows, do not have systematic adverse effects 33 Straubhaar (1988), Buch et al (2002), Buch/Kuckulenz (2004). 34 Glytsos (1993), Straubhaar (1988).…”
