Journal Article
Immigration and Welfare Support in Germany
2019
Overview
Replications of published studies are of vital importance in any science, and especially in the social sciences, which seem to be particularly vulnerable to issues of reproducibility. Therefore, we gratefully acknowledge Auspurg, Brüderl, and Wöhler's replication of our own study and thank them for their rigorous reanalysis of our data and models. Needless to say, we are also pleased that the replication of our models worked out smoothly. In our initial study (Schmidt-Catran and Spies 2016, henceforth SCS), we analyzed the relationship between immigration and native Germans' support of welfare between 1994 and 2010, testing for conflict and protection arguments. Whereas the latter assumes natives react to immigration with increased demand for social assistance, because they see immigrants as a threat to their own economic well-being, the conflict thesis states that natives' reactions to immigration are driven by cultural concerns, eventually leading to lower support for redistributive policies. Using individual- and regional-level data and differentiating between cross-sectional and longitudinal effects of the latter, we found (1) a negative effect of the share of foreigners on German natives' support for welfare and (2) interaction effects between the share of foreigners and the regional unemployment rate, which supports the conflict hypothesis. We concluded \"that the relationship between migration and welfare-critical attitudes among the native population is not restricted to the United States but can also be identified in Germany\" (SCS 2016: 256)-and thus also in a European setting.
