DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:\n\nThe Refugee’s Dilemma - Jewish Outmigration from Nazi Germany\nAbstract
 :\nBy the end of 1938, more than two-thirds of the Jewish community was sti
 ll located in Germany. In this paper we estimate the push and pull factors 
 involved in the outmigration of Jews facing persecution in Nazi Germany fro
 m 1933 to 1942. We build a structural model of migration under uncertainty 
 on the life threat and then we perform counterfactual policy experiments in
  order to quantify how migration restrictions in destination countries affe
 cted the fate of Jews. Our analysis particularly highlights the role of soc
 ial learning and information spillovers by assessing how migration outflows
  within social networks provided a signal of the severity of the threat to 
 the peers. The empirical investigation makes use of a unique dataset that r
 ecords the migration history of almost the entire universe of Jews living i
 n Germany over the period.\n
