Abstract

Earlier empirical studies have shown that indicators of cultural proximity, such as genetic distance, colonial links, linguistic measure and historical features, are often more important determinants of migration patterns than traditional economic variables. The main goal of this paper is to explore the influence of cultural proximity on migration flows in the EU area in order to see if there is a model/pattern of general behavior in this regard. The paper tries to find an answer to the following research question: how cultural proximity impacts/ influences migration flows?
