This study uses longitudinal data to document the effects of this displacement on labor market outcomes. To account for endogeneity in displacement, I exploit the fact that the level of violence affected the decision to leave and that pre-war economic performance is orthogonal to local violence levels. I find that displaced Bosnians are less likely to be working relative to the people who stayed. Displaced men experience higher unemployment levels, and displaced women are more likely to drop out of the labor force.ENConflictConflict ResolutionAlliances D740Macroeconomics: Production E230Geographic Labor MobilityImmigrant Workers J610Socialist Systems and Transitional Economies: Factor and Product MarketsIndustry StudiesPopulation P230Socialist Systems and Transitional Economies: National Income, Product, and ExpenditureMoneyInflation P240Socialist Systems and Transitional Economies: Urban, Rural, and Regional Economics P250Journal ArticleWorld Bank
