Abstract

The number of Ukrainian refugees, which had reached over five million by June 2022 in EU countries, is high and distributed relatively unevenly among EU countries. Poland and some other Eastern European EU countries, Moldova, but also Germany and Italy received relatively large numbers of refugees. After an initial transition period, some refugees will find access to the labor market of the respective host countries—learning the language of the host country is important here. Therefore, refugees often become guest workers in the medium term. There are analyses of the economic effects of guest workers from Ukraine, for example for Poland, even before 2022, which can be used to estimate the economic effects of accepting Ukrainian refugees in EU countries. In addition, a likely distribution among different EU countries for the case of general migration can be obtained from the literature. In addition, income transfer effects for Ukraine need to be reflected.
