Refugees hosted across the developed world often work in low-quality jobs, regardless of education previously attained in their country of origin. In this paper, I analyse the long-term value of formal host-country education for refugees using the example of forcefully displaced Bosnians who arrived in Austria during the 1992-1995 Bosnian war. Deploying 22 years of Austrian microcensus data, I exploit the age at the time of forced migration as an instrument for the probability of receiving host-country instead of origin country education to recover local average treatment effects of education attained in Austria vis-Ã -vis Bosnia on labour market outcomes for refugees aged around schooling thresholds. These estimates show that attaining a formal degree in the host-country significantly reduces the probability of work below educational attainment and low-skill employment over the entire observation period. Income differences between Austrian and Bosnian degree holders are visible after more than two decades of stay in Austria. The discount on Bosnian education declines over time for men but not for women, suggesting that host-country degrees are particularly important to groups that faced cultural barriers to quality employment in their country of origin.
在发达国家收容的难民往往从事低质量的工作,而不管他们之前在原籍国受过多少教育。在本文中,我以1992-1995年波斯尼亚战争期间被迫流离失所的波斯尼亚人抵达奥地利为例,分析了难民接受正规东道国教育的长期价值。利用奥地利22年的微观人口普查数据,我利用被迫移民时的年龄作为接受东道国而不是原籍国教育的概率的工具,以恢复奥地利(-Ã)和波斯尼亚(Bosnia)对年龄在上学门槛附近的难民的劳动力市场结果的教育的当地平均治疗效果。这些估计表明,在整个观察期间,在东道国获得正式学位大大减少了低于教育程度的工作和低技能就业的可能性。在奥地利呆了20多年后,奥地利和波斯尼亚的学位持有者之间的收入差异是显而易见的。波斯尼亚男性的教育折扣随着时间的推移而下降,但女性没有,这表明东道国学位对在原籍国面临高质量就业文化障碍的群体尤其重要。

We structurally estimate the firm-level frictions across prefectures in China and quantify their aggregate and distributional implications. Based on a general equilibrium model with input and output distortions and migration, we show that the firm-level frictions are less dispersed and less correlated with productivity in richer prefectures. Counterfactual exercises show that reducing the within-prefecture misallocation increases the aggregate welfare, discourages migration towards large cities, and narrows the spatial inequality. Moreover, internal migration alleviates the impacts of micro-frictions on aggregate welfare and worsens their impacts on spatial inequality.
我们从结构上估计了中国地级市企业层面的摩擦,并量化了它们的总量和分布影响。基于具有投入产出扭曲和迁移的一般均衡模型,我们发现在富裕地区,企业层面的摩擦分散程度较低,与生产率的相关性较低。反事实实验表明,减少县域内分配不当增加了总福利,抑制了向大城市的迁移,缩小了空间不平等。此外,内部迁移缓解了微观摩擦对总福利的影响,加剧了微观摩擦对空间不平等的影响。

Does The Internet Enhance State Capacity To Alleviate Distress 互联网是否增强了国家减轻痛苦的能力
Pub Date : 2021-09-15 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3924061

We ask whether access to the internet increases participation in a workfare program in Indian villages, especially during a crisis. We exploit the exodus of migrant workers from cities to rural areas during the pandemic and phase-wise rollout of the internet for identification. Comparing bordering regions with and without the internet in a differences-in-differences program, we find that access to the internet increases the demand for workfare by 4.2%. In areas more impacted by the pandemic, the demand increases by an additional 7.5%. Thus, we show that the digital infrastructure could play a positive role in alleviating distress during crises.
我们的问题是,互联网的接入是否会增加印度农村工作福利计划的参与度,尤其是在危机期间。我们利用了大流行期间农民工从城市涌入农村地区以及分阶段推出互联网进行身份识别。在差异中差异项目中比较有互联网和没有互联网的边境地区,我们发现互联网的接入使工作福利的需求增加了4.2%。在受疫情影响更大的地区,需求还会增加7.5%。因此,我们表明数字基础设施可以在缓解危机期间的痛苦方面发挥积极作用。

Wage Theft, Economic Conditions, and Market Power: The Case of H-1B Workers 工资盗窃、经济条件和市场力量:H-1B工人的案例
Pub Date : 2021-05-27 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3858061
Jed DeVaro, P. Norlander
This study explores what determines employers’ violations of the wage contracts of workers on H-1B temporary work visas, which occur when firms pay those workers below the promised prevailing or “market” wage. A theoretical framework is proposed that predicts more violations during economic downturns, fewer violations when firms have more labor-market power, and more violations by subcontractor firms. Empirical analysis is based on a firm-level matched dataset of wage and hour violations and the firms that sponsor H-1Bs. Higher labor market power, measured by the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index, is associated with fewer violations. Higher unemployment rates and subcontractor firms are associated with more violations. The effects of the unemployment rate and labor market power are amplified in subcontractor firms.
本研究探讨了是什么决定了雇主违反H-1B临时工作签证工人的工资合同,当公司支付这些工人低于承诺的普遍或“市场”工资时,就会发生这种情况。提出了一个理论框架,预测经济衰退时违规行为增加,企业拥有更多劳动力市场力量时违规行为减少,分包企业违规行为增加。实证分析是基于公司层面的工资和工时违规以及赞助h - 1b的公司的匹配数据集。以赫芬达尔-赫希曼指数衡量的劳动力市场力量越强,违规行为就越少。较高的失业率和分包商与更多的违规行为有关。失业率和劳动力市场力量的影响在分包商公司中被放大。

Review of the gravity model: a physical approach to social sciences 重力模型的回顾:社会科学的物理方法
Pub Date : 2021-05-13 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3845593
Luigi Capoani
This article presents a bibliographic review of the gravitational model in sociophysics since its origins in Newton’s conception. Considering the crucial role played by physics in expanding our understanding about social sciences, I will preserve such an approach throughout the article. Firstly, I will introduce its theoretical roots with an overview of the physical models by the most prominent scholars up to the recent applications in migration and economics. Secondly, I will illustrate the analogies and differences between the gravitational model and Tobler’s first law of geography. Thus, this work results in a sound comparison between a simple spatial framework in three variables, the most notable of which is distance, and a structured scheme based on the gravity metaphor which relies on the concepts of attractions’ forces and spatial concentration. Thirdly, I will propose an assessment of the most recent application to intangible goods as in the fields of marketing and services.
这篇文章提出了一个参考文献回顾,在社会物理学引力模型,因为它的起源在牛顿的概念。考虑到物理学在扩大我们对社会科学的理解方面所起的关键作用,我将在整篇文章中保留这种方法。首先,我将介绍其理论根源,概述最杰出的学者的物理模型,直到最近在移民和经济学中的应用。其次,我将说明引力模型和托布勒地理第一定律之间的相似之处和区别。因此,这项工作在三个变量的简单空间框架(其中最值得注意的是距离)和基于引力隐喻的结构化方案(依赖于吸引力的力量和空间集中的概念)之间进行了合理的比较。第三,我将提出一个评估,最近应用于无形商品,如在营销和服务领域。

Forced Migration, Staying Minorities, and New Societies: Evidence from Post-war Czechoslovakia 被迫迁移、保留少数民族和新社会:来自战后捷克斯洛伐克的证据
Pub Date : 2021-02-01 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3784126

Forced migration traumatizes millions displaced from their homes, but little is known about the few who manage to stay and become a minority in a new society. We study the case of German stayers in Sudetenland, a region from which Czechoslovakia expelled ethnic Germans after World War Two. The unexpected presence of the US Army in parts of 1945 Czechoslovakia resulted in more anti-fascist Germans avoiding displacement compared to regions liberated by the Red Army. We study the long-run impacts of this local variation in the presence of left-leaning stayers and find that Communist party support and local party cell frequencies, as well as far-left values and social policies are more pronounced today where anti-fascist Germans stayed in larger numbers. Our findings also suggest that political identity supplanted German ethnic identity among anti-fascist stayers. The German staying minority shaped the political identity of newly formed local societies after ethnic cleansing by providing the ‘small seed’ of political development.
被迫迁移使数百万人流离失所,但很少有人知道那些设法留下来并在新社会中成为少数群体的人。我们研究了在苏台德地区的德国人的案例,这是捷克斯洛伐克在二战后驱逐德国人的地区。1945年,美国军队意外出现在捷克斯洛伐克的部分地区,与红军解放的地区相比,更多反法西斯德国人避免了流离失所。我们研究了左倾留留者存在的这种地方差异的长期影响,发现共产党的支持和当地政党的蜂窝频率,以及极左翼价值观和社会政策在反法西斯德国人数量较多的今天更为明显。我们的研究结果还表明,在反法西斯滞留者中,政治认同取代了德国民族认同。留在德国的少数民族通过提供政治发展的“小种子”,塑造了种族清洗后新形成的当地社会的政治认同。

Russian Abstract: В настоящем препринте рассматривается миграция населения регионов Юга России во второй половине 20-го – начале 21-го веков. Миграционные процессы рассматриваются в двух «измерениях». С одной стороны, исследуется их развитие в исторической перспективе, в связи с чем отдельно рассматривается миграция в советское и постсоветское время. С другой стороны, миграционные потоки противопоставляются друг другу в аспекте «дальности», для чего отдельно характеризуются внутрирегиональные и межрегиональные миграции.

English Abstract: This preprint examines the migration of the population of the regions of the South of Russia in the second half of the 20th - early 21st centuries. Migration processes are considered in two “dimensions”. On the one hand, their development is investigated in a historical perspective, in connection with which migration in the Soviet and post-Soviet times is considered separately. On the other hand, migration flows are opposed to each other in terms of "distance", for which intraregional and interregional migrations are separately characterized.

Labor Market Discrimination against African Immigrants’: Between Employment Vulnerability and Social Exclusion 劳动力市场对非洲移民的歧视:就业脆弱性与社会排斥之间的关系
Pub Date : 2020-12-08 DOI: 10.12691/wjssh-7-1-1

This article explores labor market discrimination against African immigrants’ who are settled in Norway. For this, it considers to what extent the career prospects of the migrants’ are limited in the Norwegian labor market. In addition, it examines how the employment position of the migrants’ affect their socioeconomic status. The article, further, analyze and discuss the factors that mitigate or reinforce inequality in the sector. Using a qualitative interview of 20 respondents with backgrounds from seven African countries, the article uncovers that, the immigrants’ seem to suffer from significant discrimination in employment. To this end, labor market discrimination warrants critical analysis aimed at transformation by confronting conditions of unequal power relations in the employment fields. The article recognizes that equal opportunities and a more dynamic labor market is an indispensable element of labor inclusion and integration in mainstream society. Against the background of increasing ethnic diversity, a greater emphasis on equal access to the labor market will have positive ramifications on belongingness, social cohesion, participation and collective well-being. In contrast, inequalities in employment often coincide with destabilizing circuits of social marginalization, vulnerability, poverty, and financial stigma. Accordingly, this article allows stakeholders to recognize the increasingly changing realities in the employment fields, adopt proactive measures, appropriate new world of work and the enhancement of human capital.
本文探讨了劳动力市场对在挪威定居的非洲移民的歧视。为此,它考虑了移民在挪威劳动力市场上的职业前景在多大程度上受到限制。此外,它还考察了移民的就业状况如何影响他们的社会经济地位。本文进一步分析和讨论了减轻或加剧该部门不平等的因素。通过对来自7个非洲国家的20名受访者的定性访谈,文章发现,移民在就业方面似乎遭受了严重的歧视。为此,劳动力市场歧视需要通过面对就业领域不平等权力关系的条件来进行批判性分析,以实现转型。文章认识到,平等的机会和更有活力的劳动力市场是主流社会劳动力包容和融合不可或缺的因素。在种族多样性日益增加的背景下,更加强调平等进入劳动力市场的机会,将对归属感、社会凝聚力、参与和集体福祉产生积极影响。相反,就业不平等往往伴随着社会边缘化、脆弱性、贫困和金融耻辱等不稳定因素。因此,本文允许利益相关者认识到就业领域日益变化的现实,采取积极措施,适当的新的工作世界和加强人力资本。

Retention, Migration, and Engagement: An Analysis of a Large-Scale Multiplex Volunteer Collaboration Network 留存、迁移和参与:一个大型多元志愿者合作网络的分析
Pub Date : 2020-11-30 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3691421
Yifan Yu, Xue Tan, Yong Tan
Volunteer engagement is improving the well-being of individuals in society, and volunteers' retention and migration behaviors are critical to the management of non-profit organizations. Despite the existing effort to understand organization performance with network science, no prior study has tapped into the behavior of the unpaid labor force of non-profit organizations. This work looks into volunteers' engagement, retention, and migration by constructing dynamic egocentric collaboration networks using data from 827,260 unique volunteers' participation in 183,445 projects initiated by 74,556 non-profit organizations over nine years. We apply a multiplex network framework to characterize the heterogeneous relationships within the collaboration networks. We find that volunteers embedded in more cohesive networks and surrounded by fewer structural holes (gaps between individuals who have complementary sources of information) are more likely to remain in their existing non-profit organizations. These volunteers are less likely to explore unfamiliar organizations through migration, and collectively, the reduced migration rates negatively affect the development of small and newly-established organizations. Further, such volunteers have a higher volunteering engagement level overall, guaranteeing the supply of the volunteer labor force. Our work not only adds to the theories of network cohesion and structural holes but also deepens the understanding of how collaboration networks pose opportunities and constraints for volunteer behaviors. This work provides rich implications for volunteer management and public policy.
志愿者的参与提高了个人在社会中的福祉,志愿者的保留和迁移行为对非营利组织的管理至关重要。尽管已有研究试图用网络科学来理解组织绩效,但尚未有研究涉足非营利组织无偿劳动力的行为。这项工作通过构建动态的以自我为中心的协作网络来研究志愿者的参与、保留和迁移,该协作网络使用了827,260名志愿者参与的数据,这些志愿者参与了9年来由74,556个非营利组织发起的183,445个项目。我们应用一个多路网络框架来描述协作网络中的异构关系。我们发现,嵌入在更有凝聚力的网络中,被更少的结构漏洞(具有互补信息来源的个人之间的差距)所包围的志愿者更有可能留在现有的非营利组织中。这些志愿者不太可能通过迁移来探索不熟悉的组织,并且总体而言,迁移率的降低对小型和新成立的组织的发展产生了负面影响。此外,这类志愿者总体上具有较高的志愿参与水平,保证了志愿劳动力的供给。我们的工作不仅增加了网络凝聚力和结构漏洞的理论,而且加深了对协作网络如何为志愿者行为带来机会和约束的理解。这项工作对志愿者管理和公共政策具有丰富的启示意义。

Despite the existing effort to understand organization performance with network science, no prior study has tapped into the behavior of the unpaid labor force of non-profit organizations. This work looks into volunteers' engagement, retention, and migration by constructing dynamic egocentric collaboration networks using data from 827,260 unique volunteers' participation in 183,445 projects initiated by 74,556 non-profit organizations over nine years. We apply a multiplex network framework to characterize the heterogeneous relationships within the collaboration networks. We find that volunteers embedded in more cohesive networks and surrounded by fewer structural holes (gaps between individuals who have complementary sources of information) are more likely to remain in their existing non-profit organizations. These volunteers are less likely to explore unfamiliar organizations through migration, and collectively, the reduced migration rates negatively affect the development of small and newly-established organizations. Further, such volunteers have a higher volunteering engagement level overall, guaranteeing the supply of the volunteer labor force. Our work not only adds to the theories of network cohesion and structural holes but also deepens the understanding of how collaboration networks pose opportunities and constraints for volunteer behaviors.

On the Persistent Effects of the Slave Trade on Postcolonial Politics in Africa 论奴隶贸易对非洲后殖民政治的持续影响

How does the disruption of traditional communities shape subsequent political outcomes? I argue that the demographic shock to indigenous societies induced by Africa's slave trade influences postcolonial politics by tragically improving ethnic institutions and leadership, thereby affecting the coup-civil war trap and the underlying commitment problems. The empirical analysis leverages the soil suitability for cassava as an instrument to exploit plausibly exogenous variation in the ethnic group-level exposure to the slave trade. The findings are four-fold: Ethnic groups with severer slave trade exposure are (1) less likely to experience battle incidents within their traditional homelands, (2) less likely to fight civil wars against the central government, (3) more likely to be included in state power-sharing schemes, and (4) more likely to stage coups in postcolonial states. Falsification tests exploiting the timing of cassava's arrival in Africa and the regional variation in non-cassava crop suitability lend further credibility to the findings.
传统社区的破坏如何影响随后的政治结果?我认为,非洲奴隶贸易对土著社会造成的人口冲击,通过悲剧性地改善种族制度和领导,影响了后殖民政治,从而影响了政变-内战陷阱和潜在的承诺问题。实证分析利用土壤对木薯的适宜性作为一种工具,利用种族水平上对奴隶贸易暴露的合理外源性变异。研究结果有四个方面:受奴隶贸易影响严重的民族(1)在其传统家园内不太可能发生战争事件,(2)不太可能与中央政府发生内战,(3)更有可能被纳入国家权力分享计划,(4)更有可能在后殖民国家发动政变。利用木薯到达非洲的时间和非木薯作物适宜性的区域差异进行的证伪试验为研究结果提供了进一步的可信度。
