Working Paper: Feeling Equal before the Law? The Impact of Access to Citizenship and Legal Status on Perceived Discrimination
The new discussion paper “ Feeling Equal before the Law? The Impact of Access to Citizenship and Legal Status on Perceived Discrimination ” by Adriana Rocío Cardozo Silva (DIW) and Christopher Prömel is now available on the DIW website. Abstract: In this study, we contribute to the literature about the effects of improving access to citizenship on integration outcomes. Hereby, we exploit exogenous variation from two citizenship reforms in Germany to estimate the effects of residency requirements on perceived discrimination, which is strongly linked to individual well-being, sense of belonging, and migration desires and decisions. We find that reducing waiting times to become eligible for citizenship decreases perceptions of discrimination. However, heterogeneity analyses reveal that these effects appear to be mostly limited to men and immigrants from Eastern European countries. In addition to our main analysis, we exploit exogenous variation from EU enlargement to show that citizens from countries that became part of the EU report significantly less discrimination than non-EU immigrants.

New Policy Briefing: "Ethnische Diversität im Klassenzimmer: Chancen für Gesellschaft und Wirtschaft"
A new policy briefing by Max Steinhardt and Christopher Prömel was published in the latest issue of the ifo institute (German only) Eine zentrale Voraussetzung, um das Potenzial kultureller Vielfalt zu nutzen, ist auch aus Sicht von Christopher Prömel und Max Friedrich Steinhardt, FU Berlin, dass es zwischen den einzelnen kulturellen und ethnischen Gruppen zu einem Austausch kommt. Segregierte Gesellschaften seien dazu nicht in der Lage. Eine zentrale Rolle spielen hierbei Schulen: Programme zur Förderung ethnischer Diversität an Schulen könnten dazu beitragen, Vorurteile abzubauen und die soziale Integration zu stärken.
