- Thanks for reading! The paper is available as CEPR cepr.org/publications... CReAM cream-migration.org/publ_uploads... IZA www.iza.org/publications... and LdA dagliano.unimi.it/wp-content/upl Discussion Paper. #internationalmigrantday #Econsky #Refugees #Citizenship #migcitsky
- Our results imply that current citizenship regimes in European countries tend to prevent access to naturalization precisely for those who could gain from it in terms of improved labor market integration. #internationalmigrantday #Econsky #Refugees #Citizenship #migcitsky 17/n
- Thus, making eligibility rules more lenient for all types of migrants – and not just refugees – ... may potentiall lead to more economically active and integrated migrant workers ...while yielding sizeable economic benefits for hosting societies. 16/n
- Taken together, both sets of results suggest that: 1) lab mkt returns of naturalization are heterogenous 2) are higher for individuals who face more barriers to integrate and, thus, naturalize 15/n
- According to our estimates, the returns from naturalization are zero for individuals who naturalize... ...while they would be positive for those who fail to do so. (i.e., the ATT, average treatment effect on treated, is zero, while the ATUT, average treatment effect on untreated, is positive). 14/n
- Second, we explore the heterogeneity of returns to citizenship in a Marginal Treatment Effect framework, showing that individuals with higher resistance to naturalization also display higher potential returns from it. 13/n
- First, we find that obtaining citizen status allows refugees to close their otherwise large gaps in labour market outcomes relative to non-refugee migrants… while having small and non-significant effects on the latter group. 12/n
- Using data from 21 European countries and leveraging variation in citizenship laws across countries, time, and migrant groups as a source of exogenous variation in probability of naturalization... ...we contribute two novel findings to the debate on citizenship and migrants integration 11/n
- As we document in our paper, EU countries have reduced minimum residence requirements over time, especially for refugees… …while increasing the number of eligibility requirements on other dimensions (language, income, “culture”, etc.) 10/n
- …but if naturalization acts as a “catalyst” for the socioeconomic integration of immigrants, then offering naturalization to foreign residents early on will accelerate their integration, maximizing economic benefits for the host country 9/n
- Governments face important economic trade-offs in designing their naturalization rules Setting restrictive rules on residence, income, language fluency, etc. they can generate strong incentives for immigrants to integrate and then “crown” only those who manage to do so… 8/n
- Such a concern likely translates into political resistance towards more open migration policies, including on citizenship… …but should EU government adopt more or less restrictive naturalization rules? And should they favour more disadvantage groups – such as refugees? 7/n
- …however, the same survey identifies widespread concern about immigration from outside the EU, with just 22% of respondents seeing it more as an opportunity than as a problem 6/n
- According to a 2021 Eurobarometer, the majority of European voters is aware that acquiring host country citizenship is an important step towards a successful integration for immigrants… #internationalmigrantday #Econsky #Refugees #Citizenship #migcitsky 5/n
- Naturalizations and asylum applications are both on the rise in European countries. In 2021, in the EU: • 827,000 individuals obtained citizenship (2.2% of the total foreign pop) • 540 thousand individuals applied for asylum (adding to 2.8 million refugees already in the EU) 4/n
- 1) does acquiring citizenship improve labor market outcomes of refugees, and does the impact differ from the effects for comparable non-refugee migrants? 2) does naturalization benefit the most immigrants who struggle to integrate and, therefore, to naturalize? #internationalmigrantday 3/n
- In “From Refugees to Citizens: Labor Market Returns to Naturalization” (with Francesco Fasani and Maxime Pirot) we address two key empirical questions on the impact of #naturalization on economic integration of #migrants in Europe: t.co/P8sbx5XXLM 2/n
- On #internationalmigrantday : we present some novel research connecting two seemingly distant areas of migration policy – specifically, asylum regimes and naturalization laws – both central to the ongoing political discourse in Europe. #Econsky #Refugees #Citizenship #migcitsky #polisky 1/n

- The #education level of natives and #migrants is strongly correlated within each country. You can see this clearly in the graph below, from this #GMIH article on the education of immigrants in the EU: www.rfberlin.com/the-educatio...
