Immigration and Hate Crime. Quasi-Experimental Evidence on Attacks against Asylum Seekers in Germany (joint with Horst Entorf)
1
About the event
In this article, we examine the relationship between immigration and anti-foreigner hate crime. By exploiting a quasi-experimental allocation of asylum seekers in Germany, we estimate the causal effect of an unexpected and sudden change in the share of the foreign-born population on anti-foreigner hate crime. Our first-difference county-level analysis yields two major results. The rise in hate crime is not related to the mere size of immigration. However, immigration matters for the rise in hate crime in predominantly `white' areas.
