Abstract

This paper analyzes the political reaction of residents to refugee housing in their neighborhood. The city of Hamburg, Germany, experienced between 2014 and 2017 large refugee inflows that required many new accommodations. Openings of refugee houses led to an increase of 0.9 percentage points in the vote share of right-wing anti-immigrant parties in a neighborhood. The negative reaction applies to reception centers and follow-up accommodations with different inhabitant compositions. It persisted longer for large houses and was stronger for multiple openings and in areas with worse economic conditions and many foreigners and migrants. The right-wing gains came with losses for the governing party. A matching estimation that accounts for an unbalanced distribution of houses across neighborhoods confirms the negative reaction. Voting gains around accommodations explain only a small part of the electoral success of right-wing parties, but the findings suggest giving more attention to the distribution and housing of refugees.

为所有人打开通往世界的大门?汉堡居民区对难民住房的反应
本文分析了附近居民对难民住房的政治反应。德国汉堡市在2014年至2017年间经历了大量难民涌入,需要许多新的住所。难民收容所的开设导致右翼反移民政党在社区中的得票率增加了0.9个百分点。这种负面反应适用于接待中心和不同居民构成的后续住所。对于大房子来说,负面反应持续时间更长,对于多次开放以及经济条件较差、外国人和移民较多的地区来说,负面反应更为强烈。右翼的得益伴随着执政党的失利。考虑到各社区房屋分布不平衡的匹配估计证实了这种负面反应。在住宿方面的投票收益只能解释右翼政党选举成功的一小部分原因,但研究结果表明,应更多地关注难民的分配和住房问题。
