Migrating natives and foreign immigration : Is there a preference for ethnic residential homogeneity?
- 2021

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We study the migration behavior of the native Swedish population following refugee immigration, with a particular focus on examining whether there is support for an ethnically based migration response. Using rich geo-coded Swedish data, we account for possible endogeneity problems by combining policy-induced initial immigrant settlements with exogenous contemporaneous immigration as captured by refugee shocks. We find the same flight among all natives, irrespective of their parental foreign background. This suggests that ethnic distance to the new immigrants is not the dominant channel causing natives' flight behavior. Instead, refugee immigration seems to lead to more socio-economically segregated neighborhoods.

Polisens lista över utsatta områden minskar efterfrågan på att bo i de utpekade områdena

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Sedan hösten 2015 har polisen publicerat en serie rapporter som listar ett sextiotal bostadsområden i Sverige som "utsatta". Dessa listor har fått stort genomslag såväl i media som i den politiska debatten. I denna artikel presenterar vi resultat som ger stöd åt hypotesen att polisens beslut att peka ut "utsatta områden" har påverkat uppfattningen om de utpekade områdena. Vi påvisar en negativ effekt på bostadspriserna av att bli upptagen på polisens lista, både på kort och längre sikt (inom sex år), vilket vi tolkar som en minskad efterfråga på att bo i dessa områden.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The emergence of anti-democratic movements is a central puzzle to social science. We study a novel and rich historical dataset covering Swedish municipalities during the interwar years and find a strong link between the presence of a military garrison and the emergence of fascist parties. We interpret these results as suggesting that fascist mobilization in Sweden was driven by discontent with the process of disarmament brought about by democratization. In contrast, poor economic conditions, as captured both by levels of and changes in the local poverty rate and tax base, do not explain the strong link between the fascists and military garrisons. We relate these results to influential theories of democratization.

Construction of Register-based Commuting Measures
- 2018

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Early empirical studies in labour and urban economics addressing the role of commuting (on, e.g., wages and locational choice) have typically been confined to the use of survey data. Researchers are, however, increasingly getting access to large register databases with detailed information on where individuals live and work. A variety of methods have thus emerged to exploit the geocoded characteristic of the data to calculate commuting measures that go beyond simple Euclidean metrics. These methods involve new techniques that make use of geographic information system (GIS) routing software or application programming interfaces provided by third-party developers. This article provides (i) a brief survey of the small but emerging literature that uses geocoded register data to calculate different commuting measures, (ii) an example on how register-based commuting measures can be constructed along with descriptive evidence on how different commuting measures compare for different socio-economic groups using rich Swedish register data, (iii) a discussion of the pros and cons of different methods and measures, and (iv) a discussion of the potential of using mobile phone data to further improve registerbased commuting measures.

Immigration, new religious symbols, and the dynamics of neighborhoods
- 2020

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Last decades' non-western immigration to Europe has resulted in culturally and religiously more diverse populations in many countries. One manifestation of this diversification is new features in the cityscape. Using a quasiexperimental approach, in which an unexpected political process that led way to the first public call to prayer from a mosque in Sweden is combined with rich, daily, information on housing sales and detailed monthly information on internal migration, this paper examines how one such new feature affects neighborhood dynamics. While our results indicate that the calls to prayer increased house prices closer to the mosque, we find no evidence of increased residential segregation between natives and immigrants.

Prisutvecklingen på bostäder i Sverige – en geografisk analys

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Döljer de senaste årens prisökning på bostadsmarknaden i Sverige betydelsefulla geografiska variationer? I denna artikel använder vi koordinatsatta data över bostadsrättsförsäljningar i Sverige under åren 2011–15 för att studera frågan. Vi kommer fram till fyra slutsatser: (i) Bostadsrättsprisernas ökning varierar stort såväl mellan olika kommuner och storstadsområden som inom storstadsre-gionerna och de största kommunerna; (ii) Ju lägre initialt pris i ett grannskap, desto högre prisökning i området; (iii) Initialt pris förklarar en stor del av den totala variationen i prisökning mellan grannskap i de större kommunerna och i Storstockholm och Storgöteborg; (iv) Malmöregionen utgör ett undantag från ovan nämnda mönster.

Immigration: Policies, Mobility, and Integration
- 2019
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Essay I: Labor immigration is an important tool that countries can use to address labor shortages. The design of labor immigration policies may affect flows and the composition of immigrant workers, which can, in turn, have an effect on firms and workers in the host country. I quantify such effects by studying a major Swedish reform that made it significantly easier for firms to recruit non-Europeans. Using a difference-in-differences setup, I exploit variation in the strictness of immigration rules which affected industries differentially before and after the reform. Treated industries are predominantly lower-skilled, and concentrated in sectors like hotels and restaurants and retail trade sectors. Using linked employer-employee data, I study the effect of the reform on both firm-level and individual-level outcomes. I find that the mean earnings at firms in treated industries unambiguously increase. Firms also seem to take advantage of skill complementarities between natives and immigrants and intensify their overall hiring of high-skilled workers. Moreover, I follow native incumbents' employment and earnings over time and find heterogeneous effects along the skill and age dimensions.Essay II (with Matz Dahlberg, Mattias Engdahl and Till Nikolka): We evaluate the importance of spillover effects of national migration policies by estimating the effect of stricter rules on family reunification in Denmark in 2002 on migration to neighboring countries. We reach two main conclusions. First, we show that stricter rules for reunification lead to a clear and significant increase in emigration of Danish citizens with immigrant background. Most of the emigrants left Denmark for Sweden, a neighboring country in which reunification was possible. Second, we demonstrate that a significant fraction of the individuals that came to Sweden to reunite with a partner left the country again; within two (eight) years around 20% (50%) had left, with the absolute majority leaving for Denmark. Our results indicate that potential spillover effects from national migration policies should be taken into account when forming migration policy.Essay III (with Valentin Bolotnyy): We use administrative Swedish data to show that, conditional on parent income, immigrant children have similar incomes and higher educational attainment in adulthood than native-born Swedes. This result, however, masks the fact that immigrant children born into poor families are more likely than similar natives to both reach the top of the income distribution and to stay at the bottom. Immigrant children from high-income families are also more likely than natives to regress to the economic bottom. Notably, however, children from predominantly-refugee sending countries like Bosnia, Syria, and Iran have higher intergenerational mobility than the average immigrant child in Sweden.Essay IV (with Valentin Bolotnyy): Home ownership is an important indicator of socio-economic status and a good proxy for wealth. We show that on average, children of immigrants are less likely to own their homes than children of natives at age thirty. The difference remains even after we control for socio-economic characteristics, parental background, and municipality of residence. We find that parental background - both in terms of parents' income and education, but also their own home ownership status - is the most important determinant of home ownership in adulthood. We additionally investigate the role of age at arrival on outcomes in adulthood and find a significant negative effect of age at arrival on income and education, which also translates into a lower probability of owning a home in adulthood. However, growing up in a highly-educated family may partly mitigate this negative effect.

SNS Analys 86. Spridningseffekter av striktare invandringspolitik
- 2022
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- En striktare nationell migrationspolitik kan leda om migrationsströmmarna till länder med mer generösa regler. I denna rapport visar vipå förekomsten av sådana spridningseffekter genom att analysera hurstriktare regler för familjeåterförening i Danmark påverkar migrations-beteendet. Vi visar att skärpta regler för återförening ledde till en ökademigration till Sverige av danska invånare som påverkades av reformenoch att de faktiskt flyttade av skäl kopplade till familjeåterförening. Allastannade inte permanent i Sverige och en majoritet av de som senareemigrerade från Sverige återvände till Danmark. Våra resultat tyder påatt potentiella spridningseffekter av nationell migrationspolitik kan varabetydande och bör beaktas av beslutsfattare, särskilt i ett integreratekonomiskt område som Europeiska unionen. Annars kommersannolikt en »kapplöpning mot botten« (»race to the bottom«) iutformningen av migrationspolitiken att förverkligas.
