Spatial Dependence in Asylum Migration

Abstract: Existing refugees in a destination country from the same source country reduce the uncertainty faced by subsequent asylum migrants since existing refugees can provide information and assistance. We argue that such network effects extend beyond the borders of specific source countries. Potential asylum migrants might also be able to draw on networks from geographically proximate as well as linguistically similar countries and from countries having previously been colonized by the same destination country, thus … Show more

These conclusions are challenged by other studies.…”

“…Thirdly, respondents rarely talked about migration policies in relation to one place only: rather a comparison was often made between two or more places albeit that knowledge about both was usually very limited (see also Barthel and Neumayer, ).

A significant stream in this literature uses quantitative methods (Barthel and Neumayer, ; Davenport et al., ; Hatton, ). This section reviews this literature, focusing on the variables that influence asylum‐seeker destination choices.…”
