“…The size of the specific citizenship population in the province of destination could be considered as a proxy of the network ' s role (Heider et al, 2020 ). A recent paper showed that the estimation of the gravity model, for Italian and foreign populations, provides a more accurate explanation of the role played by the different masses when the number of Italian and foreign populations are considered separately (Casacchia et al, 2019 ).…”

“…Foreigners, specifically Filipinos and Indians, hardly ever emigrate from provinces with a large population, as bigger populations indirectly represent many more job opportunities. The higher coefficient of the other populations of destination perfectly shows how large provinces attract foreigners who contribute to growing urbanization, as in many other European countries (Gans, 2017 ;Heider et al, 2020 ).…”

Immigrationfigures have increased over time, reaching unforeseen levels in the first decade of the 21st century. Indeed, Italy and Spain have joined the ranks of the more attractive destinations on the world scale of international migration (Sobotka, 2009;Strozza, 2010). Italy has seen a gradual increase in its resident foreign population, a rise which has stemmed in part from periodic special regularizations of illegal aliens (Bonifazi & Strozza, 2020;Strozza, 2019).

“…However, we found some indirect evidence about impact on settlement type and attitudes towards immigrants after terrorist attacks. As shown by Heider et al (2020, p. 17), international migration is disproportionately directed at large cities and other highly urbanised areas. We investigated the interaction between type of settlement where the respondent resided and terrorist attacks (Models 9a and 9b, Table A6).…”

This paper analyses how terrorist attacks and high inflows of immigrants impact public attitudes towards immigrants from outside the European Union (EU). It makes an original contribution by analysing both effects in tandem, using an extended longitudinal framework to assess both shorter and longer term impacts and taking into account the role of uncertainty. Ordered probit regression models are applied to data from nine consecutive Eurobarometer (EB) surveys to examine impacts of 25 terrorist attacks in Western Europe in 2014-2018. Attacks with higher number of deaths significantly increase negative attitudes to immigrants although the effect fades over time. However, the 2015 migration crisis had a significant, greater and more sustained impact on attitudes towards immigrants than terrorist attacks. The differences in attitudes to migrants in the EU15 countries and post-communist countries provide support for the assumptions of the intergroup contact theory rather than the group threat theory.

“…A second strand of literature focuses on demographic explanations, especially the selective migration of young adults and international migrants to large cities (Haase et al, 2010;Siedentop, 2018). Immigration is one of the main drivers of reurbanization, overcompensating for the out-migration of Germans in many cities and reinforcing spatial disparities of population change (Heider et al, 2020). However, the spatial preferences of migrants have changed significantly in recent years.…”

Abstract. The population development of German municipalities is characterized by pronounced regional disparities. We seek to shed new light on the shifting patterns of population development in Germany at the local level between 1990 and 2019 to understand better the drivers of population development at the local level and to initiate a debate on the (dis)advantages of longitudinal analyses of population change at the local level and the resulting methodological challenges. We address three interrelated questions: (1) how do patterns of local population trends shift over time and in space? (2) Where are the hot and cold spots of population development, and how stable are they? (3) Are there any persistent outliers defying the regional trends of population development? We use a unique database that includes annual data on the population development of all German municipalities to answer these questions. Using spatial autocorrelation and hot-spot–cold-spot analysis, we identify short- and long-term population trajectories that allow us to detect both the hot and the cold spots of population development and islands of growth in otherwise shrinking regions and islands of decline in growing regions. Stable hot spots of population growth exist around Germany's three largest cities – Berlin, Hamburg and Munich – and in the rural northwest. The cold spots of population development are concentrated in rural regions of eastern Germany but also structurally weak, old industrialized rural regions around Brunswick and Kassel and in Upper Franconia, Saarland and Western Palatinate.
