In this paper, we investigate whether integration policy improves refugees’ economic performance, specifically examining the effects on refugees’ income of Sweden's 2010 reform of the introduction programme (or IP). We also evaluate how the reform effects vary depending on refugees’ gender and educational attainment. Our key finding shows a strong positive effect of the reform on refugees’ income, immediately after the completion of the IP. More importantly, this positive effect intensifies over time, with no signs of diminishing, which implies a longer-term effect of the reform. Furthermore, the effects of the reform do not significantly vary between men and women or between the highly educated and the less-educated, suggesting that the new Swedish IP benefits refugees to the same extent, regardless of their gender and educational attainment.

融合政策和难民的经济表现：来自瑞典 2010 年引进计划改革的证据

在本文中，我们调查了融合政策是否改善了难民的经济表现，特别考察了瑞典 2010 年引进计划（或 IP）改革对难民收入的影响。我们还评估了改革效果如何因难民的性别和教育程度而异。我们的主要发现表明，在 IP 完成后，改革立即对难民收入产生了强烈的积极影响。更重要的是，这种积极影响会随着时间的推移而增强，没有减弱的迹象，这意味着改革的长期影响。此外，改革的效果在男性和女性之间或在受过高等教育和受教育程度较低的人之间并没有显着差异，这表明新的瑞典知识产权在相同程度上使难民受益，无论他们的性别和教育程度如何。
