In this paper I estimate the causal effect of ethnic enclaves on the probability of self-employment. To account for neighborhood selection I make use of a refugee dispersal program. Results indicate that larger ethnic enclaves, measured as the share of self-employed coethnics in the municipality immigrants first arrive into, effects the probability of self-employment positively, while the share of all other coethnics has a negative effect. Results however also indicate that there is a long term economic penalty to being placed with a larger share of self-employed coethnics, an effect which is partly mediated through the choice of selfemployment.

民族飞地、自营职业和难民的经济表现：来自瑞典分散政策的证据

在本文中，我估计了民族飞地对自雇概率的因果影响。为了说明邻里选择，我使用了难民疏散计划。结果表明，较大的族裔飞地（以自雇同族裔在首次抵达的城市移民中的份额衡量）对自营职业的概率产生积极影响，而所有其他同族裔的份额则具有负面影响。然而，结果也表明，被置于更大份额的个体经营者同族裔中会产生长期的经济损失，这种影响在一定程度上是通过个体经营的选择来调节的。
