Abstract

This paper investigates the evolution of ethnic identity among immigrants in Germany. Using longitudinal data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP), the study applies transition-based models to estimate the probabilities of moving between four identity types defined by Berry (1997): integration, assimilation, separation, and marginalization. The results reveal substantial persistence in ethnic identity, particularly for integrated and separated migrants, and show that identity trajectories became more entrenched after 2015.
