Abstract [sv]

Det europeiska asylsystemet måste reformeras efter Dublinförordningens kollaps. Diskussionerna och förslagen har hittills förts i hög grad utan nationalekono-miska överväganden. I artikeln argumenterar jag för att man genom handel med kvoter inom det europeiska asylsystemet kan uppnå effektivitet, kostnadsmini-mering, rättvisa, minskad främlingsfientlighet och ökad sammanhållning inom EU-länderna. EU har knappast något att förlora på att tillåta friköp genom han-del med kvoterna efter bilaterala förhandlingar mellan medlemsländerna.

Abstract [sv]

Artikeln bygger på en granskning av en Delmi-rapport (Malmberg m fl 2016) där författarna argumenterar för att invandringens effekter på befolkningens åldersstruktur mycket kraftigt kommer att höja den ekonomiska tillväxten. Dessa effekter bygger på en feltolkning av regressionsresultat där i realiteten BNP har påverkat åldersstrukturen snarare än tvärtom. Vidare har de regressioner som rapporten bygger på en olämplig utfallsvariabel, beaktar inte humankapital och andra för tillväxten uppenbart viktiga effekter. Det saknas även en övertygande vetenskaplig litteratur och rimliga teoretiska förklaringar till att åldersstrukturen skulle driva den ekonomiska tillväxten i den utsträckning som rapporten påstår.

Abstract [sv]

EU strävar nu efter en gemensam asylpolitik. Om den uppnås blir ett naturligt nästa steg att flyktingar som beviljats uppehållstillstånd också omfattas av den fria arbetskraftsrörligheten. I dag kan dessa inte ta arbete i andra EU-länder innan de fått medborgarskap i ett EU-land eller status som varaktigt bosatt – vilket ofta tar många år, skriver skriver nationalekonomen Per Lundborg.

Abstract [en]

Based on a large-scale survey of Swedish firms, the authors identify significant heterogeneity in their attitudes towards refugee hiring, job performance, wage setting and discrimination, though experience of employing refugees reduces negative attitudes. Firms' reasons for discontinuing their employment of refugees are not related to discrimination by staff or customers, but rather to refugees' suboptimal job performance. While the majority of firms do not regard the collectively agreed minimum wages as an important obstacle to the hiring of refugees, firms with a large share of refugees on the payroll report that reducing those wage rates would enhance employment substantially.

Abstract [en]

This paper is the first to specifically focus on the integration of refugee immigrants into the Swedish labor market. Using highly detailed register data on blue collar workers it is shown that refugees' employment lags that of natives basically for their whole life time in Sweden. Time in Sweden reduces drastically the unemployment days, though from very high initial levels. Refugees from culturally distant Iran/Iraq and Horn of Africa experience considerably more days in unemployment than refugees from the less distant Eastern Europe and Latin America. The differences are large during the first 20 years in Sweden but some convergence occurs thereafter. Following a business cycle upturn this paper finds that the reduction of refugees' unemployment is half of that of natives'. Since refugees arrive at different ages, high numbers of unemployment days are recorded also for relatively old refugees with the highest number for those above 30.
