The results of the regression analysis are presented in Table 3. We find
that some historic, economic and political pull-factors have a strong
impact on the distribution of asylum applications. There is also evidence
that the relative leniency or restrictiveness of a country’s asylum policy
(expressed in the deterrence index) has a highly significant effect on the
number of applications received. However, it will be shown below that the
impact of the different policy measures that make up that index is highly
varied.
