| description |
This paper analyzes the spatial distribution of refugees over
1987–2017 and establishes several stylized facts about refugees
today compared with past decades. Refugees still
predominantly reside in developing countries neighboring
their country of origin. However, compared to past decades,
refugees today (i) travel longer distances, (ii) are less likely
to seek protection in a neighboring country, (iii) are less geographically
concentrated, and (iv) are more likely to reside
in a high-income OECD country. The findings bring new
evidence to the debate on refugee responsibility-sharing. |
