Settlement policies and the economic success of immigrants Author info | Abstract | Publisher info | Download info | Related research | Statistics Per-Anders Edin ()

Additional information is available for the following
registered author(s):
Many countries use settlement policies to direct the inflow of immigrants away from immigrant dense areas. We evaluate a reform of Swedish immigration policy that featured the dispersion of refugee immigrants, but also a change in the approach to labor market integration. We focus on how immigrants fared because of the policy. The evaluation indicates that immigrants experienced substantial long run losses. The bulk of the effect stems from a common component that affected immigrants regardless of location. We interpret the common component as being related to a shift in policy focus, from labor market assimilation to income support. Copyright Springer-Verlag 2004
