Humanitarian policies aimed at welcoming forced migrants may yield unexpected economic dividends. This article focuses on the trade and investment links forged by refugees between their countries of resettlement and the origins they fled. We document how such immigrant-links differ in the case of refugees, focusing on why their opportunity sets might differ and the difficulties in establishing economic connections against a backdrop of civil conflict and political unrest. We conclude by discussing a range of policies aimed at engaging refugee diasporas to foster development at refugees' origins.
旨在接纳被迫移民的人道主义政策可能会带来意想不到的经济红利。本文重点关注难民在重新安置国与他们逃离的原籍国之间建立的贸易和投资联系。我们记录了难民情况下这种移民联系的不同之处,重点探讨了他们的机会集为何可能不同,以及在国内冲突和政治动荡的背景下建立经济联系所面临的困难。最后,我们讨论了一系列旨在促使难民侨民参与以促进难民原籍国发展的政策。
