Sudden displacement crises temporarily overwhelm steady-state accommodation systems. In a new paper, we document that pop-up shelters and private hosting scaled fast and housed the vast majority of arrivals during the peak of the Ukrainian displacement crisis (1/2)

Does rhetorical othering affect the identity of the targeted minority? @teresafmonteiro.bsky.social, @hasagerlinea.bsky.social and I study exactly this in the context of Denmark's so-called Ghetto List. Using an RD design, we find that the Ghetto label triggered a cultural backlash

As I am now handling papers at AEJ:Policy again, I want to encourage authors of papers that identify partial equilibrium effects to consider (in a rigorous manner) how they relate to policy effects or general equilibrium effects.

"Simply put, when immigrants come to a place looking for jobs, they also demand goods and services—thus creating jobs for native-born workers… The question has always been which effect is bigger." @jerusalem.bsky.social and Rogé Karma brilliantly review research including mine in this podcast—>

Next step, we really want to understand better why employment of newly arrived refugees is historical high? And will it last? Labor demand is part of it and maybe we are getting some policies right too

Reskilling moves injured workers from disability benefits to full-time employment. Reskilling subsidies pay for themselves four times over, and current rates of reskilling are substantially below the social optimum. Paper now conditionally accepted at AER 🎉 drive.google.com/file/d/1NnI9...

Incredibly bad news for Economics in Germany. It was such a coup to attract a young superstar (from MIT!) to run one of our leading research institutes. I can’t believe we are losing him and all the potential he brought to IZA.
