How to Cope with a Refugee Shock? Evidence from Uganda
Sub-Saharan Africa hosts a large proportion of the world’s refugees, raising concerns about the consequences of hosting refugees. This paper focuses on Uganda, which is the largest refugee hosting country in Africa and is praised for its progressive refugee policy. The paper analyzes the effects of hosting refugees, relying on longitudinal data and an instrumental variable approach. The results indicate that Ugandan households benefit from living close to the refugee settlements. In contrast with the existing literature, the analysis finds that those initially involved in subsistence agriculture benefit the most. The effect seems to be driven by the few households able to move from subsistence agriculture to commercial farming and to some extent, to wage employment.

description |
Sub-Saharan Africa hosts a large
proportion of the world’s refugees, raising concerns about
the consequences of hosting refugees. This paper focuses on
Uganda, which is the largest refugee hosting country in
Africa and is praised for its progressive refugee policy.
The paper analyzes the effects of hosting refugees, relying
on longitudinal data and an instrumental variable approach.
The results indicate that Ugandan households benefit from
living close to the refugee settlements. In contrast with
the existing literature, the analysis finds that those
initially involved in subsistence agriculture benefit the
most. The effect seems to be driven by the few households
able to move from subsistence agriculture to commercial
farming and to some extent, to wage employment. |
