Immigration and Welfare Support in Germany: Methodological Reevaluations and Substantive Conclusions

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.
