Blog: How can previous public health emergencies help us understand the COVID-19 travel restrictions?
Over at GLOBALCIT, we have a blog post on our recent research note on Covid-19 travel restrictions. We ask what we can learn from previous public health emergencies, and use this as the basis to discuss 5 research avenues that can advance our understanding of the effects of a public health emergency on the global mobility regime.

Published: How Political Reception Contexts Shape Location Decisions of Immigrants
Our article on how immigrants decide where to live once they have come to live in a country is now properly published.
Using a conjoint survey experiment with a representative sample of recently arrived immigrants, we established that both political and economic factors play a role in location decisions. In the literature on location choice, economic consideration (e.g., taxes) are often highlighted. Here we show that financial considerations are not everything: the parties in power, the integration policies, etc. also play a role.
The article is available online for everyone to read, but you can also watch a summary:
