Using longitudinal data from Burundi, we explore the consequences of refugee repatriation for stayee households in a context in which returnees faced restrictions on economic activities and mobility while abroad. We use geographical features of the receiving communities, including altitude and distance to the border, for identification. We find that a 1 percentage point increase in the local share of the population accounted for by returnees leads to a reduction in the livestock of stayee households which is equivalent to 1 fowl per adult member or a 5% with respect to the mean. A higher share of returnees in a community also leads to less land access, lower subjective well-being and higher food insecurity for stayees. The negative effects on subjective well-being and food security disappear over the rounds of the survey (5 years), likely as a consequence of stayee households adjusting their economic activities in response to the presence of returnees.

难民遣返对接收社区的影响

在布隆迪返回者面临海外经济活动和流动性限制的情况下，我们使用来自布隆迪的纵向数据，探讨了遣返难民对滞留家庭的后果。我们使用接收社区的地理特征（包括海拔和与边境的距离）进行识别。我们发现，返回者在当地人口中所占份额增加1个百分点，将导致入住者家庭的牲畜减少，相当于每位成年成员家禽减少1只，平均水平降低5％。返回者在社区中所占的比例较高，也会导致土地使用量减少，主观幸福感降低以及滞留者的粮食不安全状况增加。在调查的各轮（5年）中，对主观幸福感和粮食安全的负面影响消失了，
