- W2341592528 abstract "It was a pleasure to read this paper. I like it a lot and for several reasons. First, a similar study can easily be carried out for Sweden and for all the other Nordic countries as well. As a matter of fact, even better studies can be made for our countries, because in our data sets, persons can be tracked not only from one census to another, but also from one year to another. The panel data set LINDA, created by Statistics Sweden out of data from administrative registers, would be ideal for such a purpose (see Edin and Fredriksson, 2000, for a description). Hence the paper by George Borjas is like a blueprint for future research in our country, the other Nordic countries and probably also some other European ones. I am curious who will be the first to replicate this study on Swedish data. Second, the analysis is potentially very relevant for policy making. At least in Sweden, and probably in the US as well, the residential location of new immigrants (and especially of refugees) can be influenced by policy. The results certainly suggest that a good policy should not force immigrants to go to the same place and form enclaves. But are the results strong enough to advocate an opposite policy, namely a policy that forces, or stimulates, immigrants to become evenly allocated over the country? If, as mentioned by Borjas in the concluding section, the wage losses are outweighed by the value that immigrants attach to living in areas where they can associate with persons who share a common language or culture, then such a policy conclusion cannot be drawn. I do not find it meaningful to discuss the technical analysis of the paper in any detail. The analysis is simple and straightforward in the most positive sense of these words. There is a careful discussion about potential biases in the results due to endogeneity of the location decision. Of course, a labour economist of today would love to see an analysis, which exploits some variation in immigrant’s location choice that is generated by a truly exogenous force—like a policy intervention—in an instrumental-variable (IV) estimation of the effect of en-" @default.
