Check out our new IZA DP! We show that Germans move across regions more often than many realize - especially around important educational decisions and early in their careers. However, we find no causal link between education and regional mobility👇

Der absolut beste Kommentar, den ich bisher zur Einstufung der AfD gehört oder gelesen habe. In den Öffentlich-Rechtlichen trauen sich das nicht viele - eine absolute Seltenheit und deswegen umso beachtlicher.

Kommentar: AfD-Einstufung setzt politischen Gegner unter Druck

Der Verfassungsschutz stuft die AfD als rechtsextremistisch, weil sie völkisch und rassistisch ist. Die Antwort ist die Verteidigung einer offenen Gesellschaft.
