Following one of the largest displacements in human history, almost eight million forced migrants arrived in West Germany after WWII. We study empirically how the settlement location of migrants affected their economic, social and political integration in West Germany. We first document large differences in integration outcomes across West German counties. We then show that high inflows of migrants and a large agrarian base hampered integration. Religious differences between migrants and natives had no effect on economic integration. Yet, they decreased intermarriage rates and strengthened anti-migrant parties. Based on our estimates, we simulate the regional distribution of migrants that maximizes their labor force participation. Intra-German migration in the 1950s brought the actual distribution closer to its optimum.

安置地点塑造了被迫移民的融合:战后德国的证据v

在人类历史上最大的流离失所者之一之后,第二次世界大战后将近800万被迫移民抵达西德。我们根据经验研究了移民的安置地点如何影响西德的经济,社会和政治融合。我们首先记录了西德各县在整合结果方面的巨大差异。然后,我们表明,大量的移民流入和大量的农业基础阻碍了融合。移民与当地人之间的宗教差异对经济一体化没有影响。然而,他们降低了通婚率并加强了反移民政党。根据我们的估计,我们模拟了移民的区域分布,从而最大程度地提高了劳动力的参与度。1950年代的德国内部迁移使实际分布更接近其最佳状态。
