Employment Effects of Spatial Dispersal of Refugees

Spatial dispersal policies may influence labour market integration of refugees through two mechanisms. First, it may affect the local job offer arrival rate, and second, it may affect place utility. We investigate the second mechanism theoretically by formulating a partial search model in which an individual searches simultaneously for a job and for a new residential location. The model predicts that the reservation wage for local jobs is decreasing in place utility. We argue that spatial dispersal policies decrease average place utility of refugees which decrease the transition rate into first job due to large local reservation wage effects. We investigate both mechanisms empirically and test the predictions of the theoretical model by evaluating the employment effects of the Danish spatial dispersal policy carried out 1986-1998.spatial dispersal policy; job search; residential search; employment; migration

Employment Effects of Dispersal Policies on Refugee Immigrants: Theory

This paper formulates a partial search model in which unemployed individuals simultaneously search for job and location of residence. Most importantly, we show that, ceteris paribus, a decrease in current place utility increases the transition rate into a new location of residence and the transition rate into employment outside the local labour market, but decreases the transition rate into local employment. Thus, a decrease in current place utility decreases the overall job-finding rate if the local reservation wage effect dominates. We argue that dispersal policies on refugee immigrants are characterised by low average values of current place utility. Hence, the model predicts that dispersal policies increase the geographical mobility rates of refugees and, for a sufficiently large local reservation wage effect, decrease their job-finding rates.Job Search; Residential Search; Geographical Mobility; Dispersal Policy on Refugees

Employment Effects of Spatial Dispersal of Refugees

We argue that spatial dispersal policies on refugees and asylum seekers influence labour market assimilation of refugees through two mechanisms: first, the local job offer arrival rate and, second, place utility. Our partial search model with simultaneous job and residential location search predicts that the reservation wage for local jobs decreases with place utility. We argue that spatial dispersal decreases average place utility of refugees which decreases the transition rate into first job due to large local reservation wages. We investigate both mechanisms empirically and test the predictions of the theoretical model by evaluating the employment effects of the Danish spatial dispersal policy carried out 1986-1998.Migration

Total anti-symmetrische Quasigruppen

Bei der Untersuchung von Prüfziffersystemen über Quasigruppen stößt man auf die so genannten total anti-symmetrischen Quasigruppen. Bislang war ihre Existenz für alle Ordnungen $4k+2\geq 10$ ungeklärt. Ecker und Poch vermuteten 1986, dass es keine total anti-symmetrischen Quasigruppen der Ordnung $4k+2$ gibt. In der vorliegenden Arbeit widerlegen wir diese Vermutung und entwickeln Konstruktionen für total anti-symmetrische Quasigruppen der Ordnung $n$ für alle $n\neq 2,6$. Per Computersuche weisen wir außerdem nach, dass Prüfziffersysteme über einer 2-Quasigruppe der Ordnung 10, ebenso wie Prüfziffersysteme über Gruppen der Ordnung 10, nicht alle (Sprung-)Zwillingsfehler oder Sprung-Transpositionen erkennen können. Als weiteres Ergebnis zeigen wir, dass die Klasse der total anti-symmetrischen Quasigruppen keine Varietät ist
