- We examine to what extent immigrant school performance is affected by the characteristics of the neighborhoods that they grow up in. We address this issue using a refugee placement policy that provides exogenous variation in the initial place of residence in Sweden. The main result is that school performance is increasing in the number of highly educated adults sharing the subject's ethnicity. A standard deviation increase in the fraction of high-educated in the assigned neighborhood raises compulsory school GPA by 0.8 percentile ranks. Particularly for disadvantaged groups, there are also long-run effects on educational attainment. (JEL I21, J15, R23)

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This paper discusses the case for expanding active labor market policy in recession. We find that there is a reasonable case for relying more heavily on certain kinds of programs. The argument is tied to the varying size of the lock-in effect in boom and recession. If programs with relatively large lock-in effects are ever to be used, they should be used in a downturn. The reason is simply that the cost of forgoing search time is lower in a recession. We also provide new evidence on the relative effectiveness of different kinds of programs over the business cycle. In particular, we compare an on-the-job training scheme with (traditional) labor market training. We find that labor market training is relatively more effective in recession. This result is consistent with our priors since labor market training features relatively large lock-in effects.
