This paper investigates the impact of migration shocks on housing conditions and rental prices for the local population. The identification comes from the regional variation in the large influx of Syrian refugees to Jordan in the wake of the Syrian conflict which started in 2011. Combining detailed household-level surveys with information on where Syrian refugees are concentrated, we employ a difference-in-difference approach and show that the influx had negative impacts on housing quality and increased the rents paid by local households. Residential mobility also increased in response to the flow of refugees, and this could have acted as a channel through which housing quality decreased and may have attenuated the impact on rents. The effects are more pronounced among poorer and less-educated households, those who are arguably in competition with refugees for housing.

本文研究了移民冲击对当地人口的住房条件和租金的影响。识别来自于 2011 年开始的叙利亚冲突后大量涌入约旦的叙利亚难民的区域差异。结合详细的家庭层面调查和叙利亚难民集中地点的信息，我们采用了不同差异方法并表明涌入对住房质量产生了负面影响，并增加了当地家庭支付的租金。住宅流动性也随着难民的流动而增加，这可能成为住房质量下降的一个渠道，并可能减弱对租金的影响。这种影响在较贫穷和受教育程度较低的家庭中更为明显，
