Neighbourhood Social Mix as a Goal of Housing Policy: A Theoretical Analysis (2007, background): “In Sweden, France, the UK and the Netherlands, for example, there have been widespread, large-scale investments aimed at restructuring large, homogeneous, post-war neighbourhoods and housing estates (through selective demolition, infill construction and sale of social housing) so that they contain…”
Neighborhood Quality and Labor Market Outcomes: Evidence from Quasi-Random Neighborhood Assignment of Immigrants (2013, methodology): “…term in the employment model is significant only 5 and 6 years after 39 For support of this hypothesis see e.g. the empirical findings of Edin et al. (2003) in the context of returns to living in an ethnic enclave and of Glaeser and Maré (2001) in the context of urban wage…”
Ethnic Enclaves and Welfare Cultures - Quasi-Experimental Evidence (2005, positive): “In an earlier paper (see Edin et al., 2003) we argued that the settlement policy provides an exogenous source of variation that identifies the causal effect of neighborhood characteristics.”
Do Labor Market Networks Have an Important Spatial Dimension (2013, neutral): “…market outcomes for minorities, to the extent that minorities have weaker network connections to jobs held by whites, although in some cases residence-based networks might help minorities to strengthen their labor market connections, such as in the example of ethnic enclaves (Edin et al., 2003).”
Cultural barriers in migration between OECD countries (2011, background): “There is an extensive literature on the theoretical determinants of international migration (see Ghatak and Levine (1996), Borjas (1999a) and Hatton and Williamson (2002) for surveys).”
Immigration into Europe: Economic Discrimination, Violence, and Public Policy (2014, background): “Edin et al. (2003), Friedrichs et al. (2003), and Cutler et al. (2008) review these hypotheses.7 Establishing which effects are at work is difficult, in part because a household’s residential choice is likely correlated with unobserved characteristics that also influence economic success.”
Who Is Affected by Neighbourhood Income Mix? Gender, Age, Family, Employment and Income Differences (2010, background): “Networks Limited social ties with employed and better-educated people is an oftenobserved characteristic of non-employed and lower-income people (Tiggs, Brown, and Green, 1998; Fernandez and Harris, 1992; Pinkster, 2008). Several studies from both the U.S. and Europe support the idea that these limi”
Crime and Immigration: Evidence from Large Immigrant Waves (2013, positive): “The recent literature on the impact of immigration on receiving countries has generally addressed this identification issue by either devising suitable instruments (Card, 2001; Lemos and Portes, 2008) or by exploiting some natural experiment where immigrants where forcibly allocated to areas they ha”
Determinants of recent immigrants’ location choices: quasi-experimental evidence (2009, background): “The high-quality empirical investigation on the effect of living in an ethnic enclave on labour market assimilation of immigrants by Edin et al. (2003) exploits the Swedish spatial dispersal on refugees to take location sorting into account.”
