Constructs

refugee_stock_per_capita Refugee Stock Per Capita

Number of refugees and people in refugee-like situations per 1000 population in the host country

net_migration_rate_per_1000 Net Migration Rate

Difference between immigration and emigration per 1000 population per year measuring net population movement

remittance_inflows_gdp_pct Remittance Inflows as GDP Percentage

Personal remittances received as percentage of gross domestic product measuring diaspora financial transfers

asylum_applications_per_capita Asylum Applications Per Capita

Number of new asylum applications per 100000 host country population per year

internally_displaced_persons_total Internally Displaced Persons

Total number of persons displaced within their own country by conflict violence or disaster

conflict_battle_deaths Conflict Battle Deaths

Number of battle-related deaths from armed conflicts per 100000 population per year

Findings

Conflict intensity measured by battle deaths is strongly positively associated with both refugee outflows and internal displacement

Direction: positive Confidence: strong Method: panel regression with country fixed effects

Remittance inflows are positively associated with household welfare and poverty reduction in origin countries through consumption smoothing and investment

Direction: positive Confidence: strong Method: instrumental variable estimation

Forced displacement is negatively associated with host country GDP per capita in the short run but shows neutral to positive effects in the long run conditional on labor market integration

Direction: negative Confidence: moderate Method: difference-in-differences
