They show that in fact the foreign-born population is slightly more mobile than the native German population, and that the constrained housing market does not appear to affect the foreign-born population differentially. ![]() The authors use data from the German Socio-Economic Panel and a series of logistic regression models to examine the interaction of nationality and residential mobility. It can be hypothesized that, because ethnic minorities ('foreigners' in German terminology) have lower incomes and face discrimination, they are likely to be more constrained than the native-born German population, and so have even lower mobility rates. The lower mobility rates can be viewed as outcomes of a 'tight' housing market. The rates of residential mobility in Germany are significantly lower than in the United States, and even lower than in some other European countries.
