A nice summary in Der Standard of my paper with Ariell Zimran. We think that the diffusion hypothesis is an important part of the explanation for the delayed migration from the European periphery, based on data from Italy 1876-1920. ariellzimran.com/spitzer_zimran…

My work with Yannay Spitzer featured in Der Standard.
