SUMMARY:Rasmus Landerso\, Institute of Labor Economics
DESCRIPTION:Biography: Rasmus Landersø is a Research Professor at the Rockwool Foundation Research Unit in Copenhagen\, Denmark. Rasmus has received his BA from the University of Copenhagen and his PhD from Aarhus University\, and he has also been a visiting scholar at the University of Chicago. Rasmus is currently an Associate Editor of the Journal of Human Capital\, and he is also an associate member of the Center for the Economics of Human Development (CEHD) and the Human Capital and Economic Opportunity (HCEO) working group\, a Research Associate at Center for Research & Analysis of Migration (CReAM)\, and Research Affiliate at IZA. Rasmus’ research interests include labor economics\, the economics of education\, the economics of crime\, and applied microeconometrics. His research covers both studies of intergenerational mobility\, inequality\, welfare policies\, and spillovers in criminal behavior. \nMore information about Dr. Landerso may be accessed here. \nThe Consequences of Cutting Welfare Benefits for Refugees \nA key concern when introducing welfare reforms to incentivize employment and self-sufficiency is how disincentives from more generous welfare programs\, on the one hand\, should be balanced against the potential adverse consequences of lower income and exposure to poverty for vulnerable groups\, on the other hand. With Europe standing on the verge of an immense humanitarian crisis with large refugee flows\, information on how welfare policies affect refugees’ lives is critical. This presentation will be based on two papers where we study the intended and unintended effects of Denmark’s Start Aid welfare reform from 2002 using administrative register data tracking individuals for up to two decades after the reform’s implementation. While the reform led to substantial short run increases in employment\, the effects quickly faded with local demand being an important mediating factor. In addition\, we document numerous adverse consequences for families that manifest in different outcomes and with different timing according to the age when individuals were first exposed to the large reduction in disposable income induced by the reform. These include increases to crime for adults and adolescents as well as reductions to completed schooling and lower GPA for refugees who were children when they arrived in Denmark. \nThe recording of Dr. Landerso’s talk may be accessed here.
