Burden-Sharing and Accommodation of Migrants in the EU - a Simulation Based on Factorial Designs

In recent years, migration to European countries has intensified like never before, raising issues regarding cooperation in order to manage the situation. The aim of this paper is to simulate the implications for the cooperation
between countries using the Vickrey-Clarke-Groves (VCG) mechanism and statistical analysis. In the simulation, we identify the consequences of various decisions of the countries involved in accommodating migrants. We conclude that the types of migrants and partners willing to cooperate can influence on the groups accommodated first, and that the decision to cooperate can influence on the political situation and budgets of receiving countries.
