| Summary: | This study analyses how the Syrian
refugee inflows into turkey affected firm entry and
performance. To estimate the casual effects, instrumental
variables, difference-indifferences and synthetic control
methodologies are used. The results suggest that hosting
refugees is favourable for firms. Total firm entry does not
seem to be significantly affected. However, there is a
substantial increase in the number of new foreign-owned
firms. In line with the increase in new foreign-owned firms,
there is some indication of growth in gross profits and net sales. |
