   Find a way to give me your contacts and I will give you one.

   1. There is not much of an incentive for foreigners to pursue an academic career in Germany.
   2. How many poc get Economics degrees in Germany?
   If you talk about discrimination at least get your population, in the sense of Grundgesamtheit right

   I agree. At my university most members on the last BKs would love to have international females, even better if of color, with no pub rather than another white guy with a few pubs. Guess what, only white guys and a few really bad (white) females applied.

   People with background of migration from Turkey in Germany: about 3 out of 82 million. At the university? Significantly lower. As professors? I haven't heard of any in economics.

   You germans must suck at econometrics. I have been reading the past few pages of this thread and I have seen a few people trying to extrapolate from anecdotal evidence. Naming a few names will not change the fact that you do discrimination in academia, sorry.

   the burden of proof is on you, my econometrically inclined friend. Show me your evidence or it did not happen.

   Right, because just calling an assertion a fact is of course credible evidence!

    Why doesn't the vfs diversity office report any stats on that as they do for the share of female academics?

    I'd argue that the poor funding and career prospects in Germany are exogenous to the question at hand. Wouldn't you?

    2. How many poc get Economics degrees in Germany?

    You do understand endogeneity, do you?

    I am amazed at the level of discourse here. Honest question - are you an undergrad, a PhD student, a JP or a full professor?

    Just because there are exogenous factors leading to lower interest of people with diverse backgrounds - it does not mean there aren’t also endogenous factors at play. This is not rocket science.

    Can you read? It's about how you measure discrimination.

    If you compare the share of poc in Germany with the share of poc professors you're obviously missing something.

    And hardly any foreign academics move to Germany bc the situation is bad. And that's independent of their ethnicity or whatever.

    But apparently we don't even have descriptive numbers on the share of foreigners and immigrants,so it's hard to have any informed conversation that goes beyond anecdotes.

    That's only females in the association's committees. Are there stats on female economics bachelor/masters/PhD students, PostDocs, junior and full professors? And anything alike for citizenship, migration background?

    Dorothea Kübler is a disgrace in office. Or maybe she is doing exactly what VfS has asked her to do: nothing! This way VfS can pretend that they understand the problem while in reality they couldnt care less.

    Committee membership probably gives an accurate picture of the representation of migrants among full profs and senior postdocs. It is somewhat strange that the vfs diversity office only reports this stat for women but not foreigners / migrants.
