Abstract	"The issue of immigration is of great political, social, and economic importance, because migrants have a major impact on the economy of the destination country in several ways. The number of international migrants worldwide has been growing steadily over the years. Germany ranks among the largest migrant host countries. In 2014, about 13 % of the workers in Germany were foreigners. The increase over the recent decades has been especially significant, as immigrants comprised only 9 % of the German workforce in 1985. What makes immigration interesting to urban and labor market economists is its remarkable concentration in specific regions and cities. According to data from 2014, 85 % of all foreign nationals lived in German urban areas. Therefore, immigration affects the racial-ethnic composition of the domestic population and labor force. The first thought that crosses one's mind concerns the consequences of this phenomenon. Theory alone cannot give a satisfactory answer to this question. Careful empirical research is necessary because an influx of migrants triggers a range of responses from local economic agents. This thesis offers empirical and methodological contributions to the literature that has tried to estimate the effects of immigration on the German economy." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku).
