In this paper we propose a model for constructing neighbourhoods based on georeferenced data and administrative data. The 431,233 inhabited hectare cells in Denmark are clustered into 9,404 small and 2,296 large neighbourhoods, inhabited on average in 2004 by 572 and 2,343 persons respectively....

This study investigates empirically how residence in ethnic enclaves affects labour market <p> outcomes of refugees. Self-selection into ethnic enclaves in terms of unobservable characteristics <p> is taken into account by exploitation of a Danish spatial dispersal policy which randomly <p> disperses new...</p></p></p>

This paper exploits a dispersal policy for refugee immigrants to <p> estimate the importance of local and regional factors for refugees’ location <p> preferences. <p> The main results of a mixed proportional hazard competing risks <p> model are that placed refugees react to high regional unemployment <p> and...</p></p></p></p></p>

Do dispersal policies on refugee immigrants promote their labour <p> market outcomes? To investigate this we estimate the effects of location <p> characteristics and the average effect of geographical mobility <p> on the hazard rate into first job of refugee immigrants subjected to <p> the Danish Dispersal...</p></p></p></p>

This paper investigates whether the Danish Dispersal Policy on <p> new refugee immigrants carried out from 1986 to 1998 can be regarded <p> as a natural experiment. Were refugees randomly assigned to <p> a location? <p> The main findings are as follows. First, around 90% of new refugees <p> were assigned to a...</p></p></p></p></p>

This paper formulates a partial search model in which unemployed <p> individuals simultaneously search for job and location of residence. <p> Most importantly, we show that, ceteris paribus, a decrease in current <p> place utility increases the transition rate into a new location of <p> residence and the...</p></p></p></p>
