We provide an overview of the integration of refugees into the labor markets of a number of high-income countries. Discussing the ways in which refugees and economic migrants are differently selected and so might be expected to perform differently in a host country's labor market, we examine employment and wages for these groups over time after arrival. There is significant heterogeneity between ...

The subsequent analysis ...

Employees exert emotional effort in order to perform their work effectively, albeit to varying degrees based on their occupation. These emotional job demands (EJDs) affect employees’ well-being, yet evidence is mixed as to whether these effects are positive or negative.

We analyzed decision making under risk in a group of 50 poor individuals and a group of 50 rich individuals from the city of Lima, Peru, using the Columbia Card Task game. Contrary to the decisions of the rich, the decisions of the poor were insensitive to changes in the magnitude of potential losses: the risk taking of the poor did not increase when potential losses were low compared to when they ...
