    <description>Title: What does it take to be a star? The role of performance and the media for German soccer players
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Authors: Lehmann, Erik E.; Schulze, Günther G.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Abstract: We test existing superstar theories for the German soccer league. We use various measures for individual players' performance and media presence to analyze whether performance and popularity can explain salaries and superstars in soccer. Moreover, we argue that quantile regression technique should be applied to analyze superstar phenomena instead of OLS used hitherto.</description>

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Abstract: We conduct a natural field experiment on direct and indirect transfer mechanisms for small donations. Charitable contributions are significantly higher if made indirectly, i.e. if they are tied to the purchase of a good sold at a premium, than if they are made directly. Donations are significantly higher under both transfer mechanisms if people are given a suggested reference donation.</description>

    <description>Title: Refugee movements and aid responsiveness
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Authors: Czaika, Mathias; Mayer, Amy
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Abstract: This article analyses the impact of refugee migration movements on the long-term and short-term aid allocation decisions of bilateral donors. We distinguish between different types of forced migrants: internally displaced persons (IDPs) that stay in their country of origin, cross-border refugees that flee to neighboring countries, and asylum seekers in Western donor states. For the period 1992 to 2003, empirical evidence on 18 donor and 148 recipient countries suggests that short-term emergency aid is given to all types of refugee situations, but is predominantly directed towards the countries of origin. For the allocation of long-term development aid, donor states focus even more on the sending-countries of forced migrants; in general, they increase aid volumes only for the home countries of refugees, not for the hosting countries. This preference for the countries of origin is even stronger when these are sending-countries of asylum seekers to the Western aid-giving states.</description>

    <description>Title: The political economy of refugee migration
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Authors: Czaika, Mathias
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Abstract: This article examines the driving forces of the magnitude, composition and duration of refugee movements caused by conflict and persecution. The decision to seek temporary or permanent refuge in the region of origin or in a more distant asylum destination is based on inter-temporal optimization. We find that asylum seeking in Western countries is rather a phenomenon of comparatively less persecuted people. In an attempt to reduce their respective asylum burdens, Western countries and host countries in the region of origin are likely to end up in a race to the bottom of restrictive asylum policies. As an alternative, this study shows that proactive refugee-related aid transfers are, under certain circumstances, an effective instrument to relieve Western countries from asylum pressure.</description>
