Regional disparities in employment of high-skilled foreigners: determinants and options for migration policy in Germany

We investigate the regional disparities in high-skilled foreign employment in Germany. The importance of different factors which attract highly qualified migrants to specific regions and the role of labour-migration policy is analysed.

Based on these empirical results we discuss options of decentralized migration policy in Germany.
