Deutlicher Anstieg der Nettozuwanderung nach Deutschland

Abstract: Since 2010 net immigration to Germany has risen significantly. Net immigration to Germany in 2012 is estimated to total nearly 400 000 people. Influxes of such a magnitude have significant macroeconomic implications. While in the long run they increase the domestic labour force and hence potential output, they moderate wages and prices in the short run. This article investigates the determinants of immigration to Germany and its outlook for the coming years. It shows that differences in employment opportunities in Germany and in the rest of Europe largely explain migration flows. Owing to Germany’s attractive labour market and the expected slow recovery in neighbouring Europe, cumulative immigration to Germany is likely to exceed two million by 2017.
