New article in Urban Studies: Land use disadvantages in Germany: A matter of ethnic income Inequalities?


Categories: GESIS-News

Environmental hazards affect people from different income groups and migration backgrounds on different levels. In this article Stefan Jünger investigates whether individual-level income differences between Germans and migrants account for objectively measured exposure to the environmental goods and bads of land use, specifically soil sealing and green spaces. He uses cross-sectional survey data from the German General Social Survey (ALLBUS) combined with smallscale spatial data on land use. This unique dataset allows us to assess environmental inequalities regarding soil sealing and access to green spaces and to answer the question if potential distributional injustice stem from ethnic income inequalities.
