“…The idea is that a neighbourhood detoriates after a certain 'tipping point' has been reached. However, the quotas are set on rather obscure and arbitrary grounds as opposed to academic insights about possible 'tipping points' (Münch, 2009). In other countries, the goals may be less explicit, but nevertheless clear in their intention.…”

“…This also holds true for Germany where concerns about the lack of immigrant integration and fears of "parallel societies" play an important role. In the policy debate, it is widely assumed that immigrants prefer to live in segregated residential areas (Münch 2009). This view accords with theories suggesting that immigrants sort themselves into ethnic enclaves as those enclaves enable the consumption of ethnic goods (Chiswick and Miller 2005) and reduce the need to assimilate to the host country (Lazear 1999).…”

Terms of use: Documents in SOEPpapers on Multidisciplinary Panel Data Research at DIW BerlinThis series presents research findings based either directly on data from the German SocioEconomic Panel Study (SOEP) or using SOEP data as part of an internationally comparable data set (e.g. CNEF, ECHP, LIS, LWS, CHER/PACO). SOEP is a truly multidisciplinary household panel study covering a wide range of social and behavioral sciences: economics, sociology, psychology, survey methodology, econometrics and applied statistics, educational science, political science, public health, behavioral genetics, demography, geography, and sport science.The decision to publish a submission in SOEPpapers is made by a board of editors chosen by the DIW Berlin to represent the wide range of disciplines covered by SOEP. There is no external referee process and papers are either accepted or rejected without revision. Papers appear in this series as works in progress and may also appear elsewhere. They often represent preliminary studies and are circulated to encourage discussion. Citation of such a paper should account for its provisional character. A revised version may be requested from the author directly.Any opinions expressed in this series are those of the author(s) and not those of DIW Berlin.Research disseminated by DIW Berlin may include views on public policy issues, but the institute itself takes no institutional policy positions. Perceptions of Discrimination in West GermanyVerena Dill and Uwe Jirjahn Department of Economics, University of Trier, GermanyAbstract: Using survey data from the German Socio-Economic Panel, this study shows that immigrants living in segregated residential areas are more likely to report discrimination because of their ethnic background. This applies to both segregated areas where most neighbors are immigrants from the same country of origin as the surveyed person and segregated areas where most neighbors are immigrants from other countries of origin. The results suggest that housing discrimination rather than self-selection plays an important role in immigrant residential segregation.JEL: J15, J61, R23, R30.
