“…Outmigration of hosts is a critical complement to the labor market analysis and excluding this outcome can lead to an underestimation of the impacts of forced displacement on the labor market outcomes of natives. The papers we reviewed that looked at tasks complexities and the question of substitution vs complementarities between refugees and natives found occupational upgrading among natives as a result of the refugee inflow (Akgündüz, van den Berg, and Hassink 2018, Akgündüz and Torun 2018, and Foged and Peri 2015.…”

“…Similarly, large refugee inflows have prompted research analyzing their effect on the host country's food prices, wealth, labor market, health, education and other outcomes, e.g. Alix-Garcia and Saah (2009), Baez (2011), Tumen (2016), Ceritoglu et al (2017), Esen and Oguş Binatı (2017), Akgündüz and Torun (2018) and Verme and Schuettler (2019).…”

A Spatial Model of Internal Displacement and Forced Migration

This article develops a spatial model of internal and external forced migration. We propose a model reminiscent of Hotelling’s spatial model in economics and Schelling’s model of segregation. Conflict is modeled as a shock that hits a country at certain location and generates displacement of people located near the shock’s location. Some displaced people cross a border, thus becoming refugees, while others remain as Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs). The model delivers predictions about how the fractions of a country’s population that become refugees and IDPs ought to be related with the intensity of the shock, country size, terrain ruggedness and the degree of geographical proximity of the country with respect to the rest of the world. The predictions of the model are then tested against real data using a panel of 161 countries covering the period 1995-2016. The empirical evidence is mostly in line with the predictions of the model.
