Education bias in probability-based surveys in Germany
Surveying emigrants worldwide–using Facebook and Instagram to recruit respondents in cross-national (e)migration research
Sampling remains a major challenge when researching minority populations, especially in cross-national settings. While various sampling methods are established in the field, most of them cannot easily be implemented globally. However, worldwide operating Social Networking Sites provide an opportunity for the recruitment of certain hard-to-reach populations in almost all countries. Targeting German emigrants through paid advertisements on Facebook…
Magic bullet or questionable remedy? Discussing the use of Meta advertising to recruit hard-to-reach migrants for surveys
As the world sees an increase in global migration, it is paramount to collect real-time data on migrants to facilitate their settlement in new countries. A major obstacle to capturing such information is that many migrants, such as refugees, are “hard-to-reach.” Traditional sampling methods often miss small and mobile populations and for this reason new methods are needed. Survey recruitment through Meta advertisements is one such approach. By me…
Cultural identity development in adult forced migrants
Crossing the border
The Russian invasion at the beginning of 2022 forced many Ukrainians to find refuge in safer places. Using unique survey data collected in the early days of the war, this research note turns to Ukrainian refugees’ opinions in two host countries: Germany and Poland. We are interested in how this–otherwise hard-to-reach und so far understudied–group of people evaluated their country’s potential European Union (EU) accession at that very specific mo…
Is the grass greener on the other side? Benchmarking Covid-19 vaccine procurement against the British experience
The Covid-19 pandemic placed responsibility on the European Union (EU) to effectively mitigate this common challenge. An important aspect of the common fight against the virus was the collective procurement of vaccines. The initially slow process of vaccine delivery may have caused overall frustration within societies and may also have had a profound effect on people’s assessment of their country’s EU membership. This paper examines this assumpti…
Self-selection of Ukrainian refugees and displaced persons in Europe
The literature on migrants’ self-selection is focused on labour migrants, while little is known about refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs). We contribute to this scant literature, by (1) examining a broad set of factors that could determine self-selection, (2) contrasting self-selection profiles of refugees and IDPs, and (3) comparing self-selection profiles of refugees across countries. Specifically, we compare the self-selection pro…
Did exposure to asylum seeking migration affect the electoral outcome of the ‘Alternative für Deutschland’ in Berlin? Evidence from the 2019 European elections
This article analyses the impact of exposure to asylum-seeking migration during the European 'refugee crisis' on votes for the far-right Alternative fur Deutschland at the 2019 European elections in Berlin. While other scholars investigated the relationship between locals' exposure to asylum-seekers and far-right voting, we analyse this relationship at a very small scale (electoral district level), adopting an innovative methodological approach, …
Migration Research in a Digitized World
This open access book explores implications of the digital revolution for migration scholars’ methodological toolkit. New information and communication technologies hold considerable potential to improve the quality of migration research by originating previously non-viable solutions to a myriad of methodological challenges in this field of study. Combining cutting-edge migration scholarship and methodological expertise, the book addresses a rang…
How (not) to mobilize health workers in the fight against vaccine hesitancy
The trial was registered retrospectively with the repository of the Open Science Framework (OSF) under the number osf.io/qa4n2
Using the innovative to improve the established
During the last 30 years, most countries around the world have experienced rapid digitization in almost every aspect of society and daily life. This holds, for instance, as much true for communication behaviour (e.g. using messenger services and video chat) as for news consumption (e.g. online newspapers and social networking sites) and the way we keep ourselves entertained (e.g. streaming music and video content or reading the latest eBook). The…
Everyday Europe
This book offers an empirically-based view on Europeans' interconnections in everyday life. It looks at the ways in which EU residents have been getting closer across national frontiers. The book considers how people reconcile their increasing cross-border interconnections and a politically separating Europe of nation states and national interests
Everyday Europe
Integrating Refugee Children and Youth
The United Nations High Commission for Refugees reports that more than half of the 65 million refugees and displaced people identified worldwide are under the age of 18. For this reason, researchers, practitioners and policymakers need to understand the consequences of forced migration on the integration of refugee children and youth in receiving countries. A first step to do that is to scope out the state of current research on these issues and …
Migrant Sampling Using Facebook Advertisements
Sampling of migrants in cross-national survey research is challenging. Established techniques such as random-route sampling or random-digit-dialing are associated with high monetary costs, in particular when small migrant groups are targeted. The use of onomastic (name based) telephone sampling is a relatively cost-efficient alternative, but it relies on a number of conditions (e.g., existence of telephone directories in the respective countries …
Migrant mobilities in Europe
Besides huge differences in attitudes towards the European Union (EU), it seems to be common sense in nearly all strata of EU member states’ societies that the EU created a common and seemingly borderless space of mobility for its inhabitants. Sometimes this characteristic is not only the first positive thing that comes to people’s mind when asked about the Union but also the only one. This paper investigates to which extend Turkish migrants as t…
