An opinion piece in Economics Observatory by Jackline Wahba and Valentina Di Iasio
QuantMig members Valentina Di Iasio and Jackline Wahba have written a piece "Asylum seekers in Europe: where do people go and why" for the Economics Observatory, on pull factors of refugee migration. As millions of people cross dangerous terrain to seek refuge in Europe, understanding the factors that drive them to go to particular places is crucial. It is also important to assess whether certain policies in destination countries deter or attract asylum seekers. The full text is available at the Economics Observatory website.
