  • How reception centers affect the integration of asylum seekers and recognized refugees

    Open AccessSamir Khalil, Jasper TjadenARTICLEEuropean Societies2025References: 8

    After arrival, asylum seekers are often housed in reception centers. The type, quality, and duration of stay in such centers vary considerably across or within countries. In the context of the so-called EU refugee crisis in 2014–2016, reports emerged that some asylum seekers and refugees remained in reception centers for several years due to limited capacity of municipalities, lengthy asylum procedures, and tight housing markets. It is often argu…

  • Overeducation as moderator for the link between job change and job satisfaction among immigrants and natives in Germany

    Open AccessSamir Khalil, Almuth Lietz et al.ARTICLECurrent Psychology2023

    Job satisfaction is a major driver of an individual’s subjective well-being and thus affects public health, societal prosperity, and organisations, as dissatisfied employees are less productive and more likely to change jobs. However, changing jobs does not necessarily lead to higher job satisfaction in the long run. Previous studies have shown, instead, that changing jobs only increases job satisfaction for a short period of time before it gradu…

  • Does Contact with Foreigners Reduce Worries about Immigration? A Longitudinal Analysis in Germany

    Open AccessSamir Khalil, Elise NaumannARTICLEEuropean Sociological Review2022Cited by: 2References: 45

    This article examines how contact with perceived foreigners affects natives' attitudes towards immigration. Using six waves of individual level panel data from Germany (2007-2017), we find that natives' reported mutual visits with foreigners reduce worries about immigration. However, the results do not imply an increase in this effect in the course of repeated contact. Our analyses also consider the possibility that the effect of out-group contac…

  • Trade Relations between the European Union and Palestine

    Samir Khalil, Amir Khalil et al.ARTICLEMiddle East Law and Governance2021

    This article examines the bilateral relationship between the European Union and the Palestinian Authority. The EU’s policy towards Palestine, as with other neighboring countries, has always closely linked the economic and political elements of the relationship. Besides financial aid to support Palestine’s socio-economic development and state-building, trade between the EU and Palestine has had an increasingly important role in this regard. The ar…
