New paper out!!
10 years after “Wir schaffen das”: Refugees in Germany often feel more connected to their host country than to their origin country – even soon after arrival. Language, local contacts & welcome matter.

Our new IMR paper on the great replacement theory is now open-access. We find that about 20% (!) of German adults believe that white majorities are being deliberately replaced by non-white immigrants in a secretive attempt by malevolent elites to undermine their own country.

7/8🔸 Key #5: Despite severe violence, many choose internal displacement over crossing borders—a “#home bias.” Our data covers the war’s early phase; prolonged conflict could shift choices as hopes for quick resolution fade. #Ukraine #Displacement

Yuliya Kosyakova @yuliyakosyakova.bsky.social · Feb 24

6/8🔹 Key #4: Vulnerable groups (e.g., large families, elderly) flee more when violence escalates, shrinking usual demographic gaps in migration. Meanwhile, women with greater resources often leave early, perpetuating inequalities in escape opportunities.

1

Yuliya Kosyakova @yuliyakosyakova.bsky.social · Feb 24

5/8🔸 Key #3: Forewarnings & indirect threats often prompt flight more than direct attacks, which can trap people. Destruction of critical infrastructure, remote violence, battles, & fatalities raise outmigration. Occupied territories & severed comms reduce it by limiting escape.

1

Yuliya Kosyakova @yuliyakosyakova.bsky.social · Feb 24

4/8🔹 Key #2: Proximity matters. IImmediate threats strongly push people to leave; forewarnings and indirect threats can trigger migration more than direct attacks.

1

Yuliya Kosyakova @yuliyakosyakova.bsky.social · Feb 24

3/8🔸 Key #1: A curvilinear relationship between CIV and migration. Initial violence spurs flight, but beyond a certain threshold, this effect declines, potentially even reversing under extreme conditions

1

Yuliya Kosyakova @yuliyakosyakova.bsky.social · Feb 24

2/8 By including movers & stayers, we tackle “mobility bias.” Our OneUA survey of 24k 🇺🇦 women shows how the intensity, proximity, & type of CIV drive or deter relocation—both within Ukraine & internationally.

1/8 Title “Multidimensional Effects of Conflict-Induced Violence on Wartime Migration Decisions: Evidence from Ukraine” (doi: 10.1177/00223433251317838). We examine how CIV shapes Ukrainian women’s choices: stay, move internally, or flee abroad.
