Neighborhood Concentration of Child Poverty by Immigrant Background: National and City- Level Trends
Child poverty has been steadily rising across high-income countries, including Scandinavia, raising concerns about its spatial concentration and potential impact on inequality. This study uses administrative data to investigate the development of geographic concentration of child poverty in Norway from 2004 to 2022, with a focus on variations across immigrant and native-born children. We analyze neighborhood poverty trends and measure overexposur…
Family Matters: The Impact of National Policies on Asylum Destinations
In political and academic debates, a knowledge gap exists regarding the impact of different strands of national policies on the number of asylum arrivals. This article analyzes the effects of policy reforms on the distribution of asylum seekers among a group of major European receiving countries. More specifically, we study significant changes in the legislation that regulate the following three areas: (i) access to the asylum procedure, (ii) the…
How important is girls’ ‘Biological Head Start’ in explaining gender differences in education and the labour market
We investigate whether gender differences in physical maturity during adolescence can explain gender differences in educational and labour market performance. Using survey data with measures of physical maturity linked to register data on education and labour market outcomes, we analyse the importance of physical maturity for gender differences in both the short and long terms. The results show that gender differences in physical maturity partial…
Labour immigration and union strength
Is labour mobility in the European Union a threat to the strength of unions? We argue that the combination of cheap labour, workforce heterogeneity and low unionisation among labour immigrants is a potential challenge for unions. The challenge will be severe if immigration affects natives’ unionisation. We use Norwegian administrative data in a natural experiment framework to examine this claim. The 2004 European Union expansion led to a rapid in…
Overgang fra utdanning til arbeid blant høytutdannede etterkommere av innvandrere
Til tross for en voksende litteratur om hvordan barn av ikke-vestlige innvandrere i Norge gjør det i arbeidslivet, sammenliknet med barn av norskfødte foreldre, finnes det begrenset med kvantitativ forskning om hvordan slike forskjeller utspiller seg helt i toppen av utdanningsfordelingen: Hvilken betydning har innvandrerbakgrunn for dem som har fullført en mastergrad? Vi studerer ansettelser, timelønn og årsinntekt for denne spesielle gruppen i …
Reduction or deflection? The effect of asylum policy on interconnected asylum flows
Labor Market Competition with Immigrants and Political Polarization
The political consequences of economic globalization has lately been fiercely debated across Europe and the United States, including the role of labor immigration. In this paper we study the party choices of voters facing labor market competition from immigration. To identify the effect of labor market competition we introduce the national skill cell approach, which is designed to isolate a direct partial effect of immigrant competition. By acces…
Immigrant concentration and student outcomes in upper secondary schools: Norwegian evidence
We analyse the effects of immigrant concentration on two measures of native students’ outcomes in upper secondary schools in Norway, completion and exam grades. Administrative data for full cohorts of new students 2002–2008 are employed. To take into account potential selection effects, we rely mainly on models with fixed school and educational programme effects. The analyses present a consistent picture: Immigrant concentration seems to have no …
Reduction or deflection? The effect of asylum policy on interconnected asylum flows
In 2015 Europe experienced an almost unprecedented number of asylum arrivals. The result was a revitalization of both the political and academic debates on the relationship between asylum policies and arrivals. In this article we study the core of this debate, namely the effects of asylum policy on asylum flows. We examine what recent European history of asylum regimes and arrivals tells us. The policy changes are examined both with regard to the…

Diversity among Norwegian Boards of Directors: Does a Quota for Women Improve Firm Performance
Exploiting the Norwegian boards of directors’ quota reform of 2003, this study evaluates the impact of increased diversity on firm performance. Applying difference-in-difference approaches to accounting data covering the period 2003–07, the paper compares the return on assets for non-finance public limited companies (PLCs) and ordinary limited companies (LTDs), whereof only the former were affected by the reform. The impact of the reform on firm …

Displacement and Immigrant Workers' Responsiveness to Regional Labour Market Opportunities: Evidence from Norway
R ed M. and S ch ne P. Displacement and immigrant workers' responsiveness to regional labour market opportunities: evidence from Norway, Regional Studies . This paper answers two main questions. First, are immigrants more mobile than natives following job displacement? The results show that immigrants are indeed more mobile than natives following job displacement; however, the difference is fully explained by a compositional effect - immigrants h…

In search of the glass ceiling: Gender and recruitment to management in Norway's state bureaucracy1
There are still fewer female than male managers in Norway's state bureaucracy. This article asks if there are organizational barriers which prevent women from entering these positions. Is there really a glass ceiling, or must one look outside the organizational environment to find an explanation? Is it rather the case that the scarcity of female managers is caused by women's own preferences or their life situations outside work? Or do both contri…
Subsidizing "Stayers"? Effects of a Norwegian Child Care Reform on Marital Stability
Since January 1999, all parents in Norway with children aged 1 to 3 years who do not attend publicly subsidized day care are eligible for "cash-for-care" (CFC). One important purpose of the reform is to enable parents to spend more time with their children. We analyze whether the CFC reform has affected marital stability, using individual register data covering information on 130,265 observations of married couples. The results from both a natura…
