Ziel des Forschungsprojekts ist die Schaffung eines Mobilitätsangebots für alle, die sich ohne eigenes Auto im ländlichen Raum fortbewegen wollen oder müssen. Ziel ist auch eine Stärkung des ÖPNV in ländlichen Räumen durch ein neues Angebot, das den ÖPNV ergänzen, attraktiver und zukunftsfähiger machen soll.

(1) Aspirations: In the absence of reliable, internationally available migration flow data necessary for statistical forecasting, policymakers increasingly turn to survey data on emigration intentions to evaluate future migration trends. The important assumption – i.e. that there is a measurable and systematic relationship between the intention to migrate and actual migration – has not been firmly established at the international level. In a first step, we examine the association between estimated population averages of emigration intentions and official migration flow data based on data for more than 160 countries.
In this project, we investigate the (sometimes unintended) consequences of policies that have been implemented to regulate immigration and to subsequently facilitate the socio-economic integration of newly arrived immigrants.
This project circles around three core questions: Does assimilation work? Does discrimination vary with exposure to competition? Do public attitudes directly translate into immigrant disadvantage?
