Growing up in ethnic enclaves
Does the regional concentration of immigrants of the same ethnicity affect immigrant children’s acquisition of host country language skills and educational attainment? We exploit the concentration of five ethnic groups in 1985 emanating from the exogenous placement of guest workers across German regions during the 1960s and 1970s. Results from a model with region and ethnicity fixed effects indicate that exposure to a higher own ethnic concentrat…
Linguistic Fragmentation at the Micro-Level
This paper investigates the economic returns to language skills and bilingualism in Kazakhstan, a multi-ethnic country that started switching its official state language from Russian to Kazakh in 1997. Using newly assembled data for four major cities in 1996 and 2010, we find heterogenous wage premia and penalties for speaking Kazakh across cities and over time. We relate the wage patterns to (i) changing demographic environments, (ii) changing g…
Export price shocks and rural labor markets
Can Secondary Jobs Smooth Consumption? Evidence from Unanticipated Wage Arrears
This paper studies second jobs as self-insurance and consumption-smoothing devices for liquidity-constrained workers who face unanticipated wage arrears. Unlike the previous consumption-smoothing literature, emphasis is given to labor market shocks in emerging economies and to a new empirical strategy: labor supply responses are identified through unanticipated changes in wage payment and repayment behavior of Ukrainian firms. Unique longitudinal…
Relations between residential and workplace segregation among newly arrived immigrant men and women
Contemporary cities are becoming more and more diverse in population as a result of immigration. Research shows that while residential neighborhoods are becoming ethnically more diverse within cities, residential segregation from natives has overall remained persistently high. High levels of segregation are often seen as negative, preventing the integration of immigrants into their host society and having a negative impact on people's lives. Wher…

Migration patterns in a remittances dependent economy
Before the global financial crisis, Tajikistan was a major labour exporting and the world’s most remittances-dependent country. Remittances had contributed to a remarkable reduction in poverty. This paper exploits a new panel data set spanning the years 2007 to 2009 in order to investigate the effect of the financial crisis on migration and remittances patterns. Expectedly, the economic recession in the main destination country Russia affected Ta…
Factors Shaping Workplace Segregation Between Natives and Immigrants
Research on segregation of immigrant groups is increasingly turning its attention from residential areas toward other important places, such as the workplace, where immigrants can meet and interact with members of the native population. This article examines workplace segregation of immigrants. We use longitudinal, georeferenced Swedish population register data, which enables us to observe all immigrants in Sweden for the period 1990–2005 on an a…
Labour Migration from Eastern Europe and the EU 's Quest for Talents
This article investigates the determinants of temporary migration and the destination choices of migrants from a geopolitically important region in eastern Europe that borders Russia and the enlarged EU . We present empirical evidence from a novel survey simultaneously conducted in A rmenia, B elarus, G eorgia, M oldova and U kraine, five countries that share a common institutional and linguistic heritage with Russia. Temporary migrants from east…
Benefit Generosity and the Income Effect on Labour Supply
This paper uses an unanticipated, exogenous doubling of the legal minimum pension in Ukraine as a unique quasi-experiment to evaluate the income effect on various aspects of labor supply among the elderly. In contrast to previous studies, the unusually simple pension eligibility rule allows estimating a pure causal income effect. Applying difference-indifferences and regression discontinuity methods on two nationally representative data sets yiel…
Battlefields of Ethnic Symbols. Public Space and Post-Soviet Identity Formation from a Minority Perspective
This article provides an analysis of interdependencies between post-Soviet Erinnerungspolitik in public space and the individual perception of urban reconfigurations by ethnic Germans in Kazakhstan. Applying a qualitative social-geographic approach the author examines determinants of the process of ethnic symbolisation of real and imagined places. Individual biography and the extent of Soviet socialisation are factors shaping the personal percept…
