Immer häufiger wird im öffentlichen Diskurs die Frage gestellt: Was nützt Entwicklungszusammenarbeit eigentlich uns selbst? Warum investieren wir Milliarden in andere Länder statt in die eigene Wirtschaft oder hiesige Sozialleistungen? www.ifw-kiel.de/publications...

Interesting vibes in the announcement of the new German coalition. Future Chancellor Merz announces more deportations, an end to resettlement and family reunification for refugees, and to fast track nationalization. The socio democrats' leader starts reassuring citizens with migrant background.

Ich freue mich, hier mein Interview aus der aktuellen ZEIT zu teilen. Der demographische Wandel wird in Deutschland in den kommenden Jahren so richtig spürbar Die neue Regierung sollte also den Mut haben, Fachkräftezuwanderung noch gezielter zu nutzen. www.zeit.de/2025/10/migr...

Call for Papers! We are inviting submissions for the GDE conference. If your research is on developing countries, send us your papers. The GDE is international and anyone is welcome, it is simply called "German" development conference because it is organized by DEU, AUT, and SUI universities.

Check out our @voxeu.org column on the #root #causes of #migration: foreign aid can temporarily reduce #irregular #migration but may lead to increased #regular migration as conditions improve over time. Policymakers should consider this when designing migration strategies. ow.ly/nPoB50TWW5j

Foreign aid and the ‘root causes’ of migration

Foreign aid is often used to address the root causes of migration as a way to reduce migrant flows. However, the effectiveness of such approaches remains unclear. This column combines individual survey data with data on World Bank projects and on bilateral migration flows to examine how foreign aid influences migration preferences and flows. Results show that aid can temporarily reduce irregular migration but may lead to increased regular migration as conditions improve over time. Policymakers should consider these dynamics when designing migration strategies to balance immediate and long-term effects.

In Germany, we talk a lot about the Zeitenwende. But has the Russian invasion of Ukraine turned out to be a sea change for Africa and German Africa policy, too?

Can foreign aid reduce irregular migration? Over the last years, Europe and the US have poured billions into foreign aid that was specifically aimed at reducing “root causes” of irregular migration. The evidence base fr this is at best limited. That’s why we wrote a new paper. #EconSky🧵
