Rival guests or defiant hosts? The local economic impact of hosting refugees
利用法国行政数据，研究发现开设小型难民收容中心会减少当地经济活动，主要原因是本地人因偏见而避免迁入，导致人口下降约2%。
Abstract This article investigates the local economic cost of hosting refugees. Using administrative data in France, we show that the opening of small housing centers for refugees decreases the economic activity in hosting municipalities. We demonstrate that this downturn is related to a decline in the population by around 2% due to fewer people moving to hosting municipalities. We show that this avoidance behavior of natives results from prejudices, and is unlikely to be driven by a labor market supply shock from the arrival of refugees. We also estimate the aggregate cost of hosting refugees.
