Identifying macroeconomic effects of refugee migration to Germany

Enzo Weber (IAB, University of Regensburg, IOS Regensburg), Roland Weigand (IAB)

This study investigates impacts of migration on the German economy, explicitly distinguishing refugee and non-refugee immigration. We propose a macroeconometric modelling approach complemented by instrumental variable techniques. We find that non-refugee immigration has more beneficial medium-run effects on GDP and the labour market.
