L'8 e il 9 giugno in Italia si vota per cinque referendum.

Con @ffasani.bsky.social su La Voce abbiamo spiegato perché il Sì al quesito sulla #cittadinanza beneficerebbe tutti, e ci farebbe fare un passo avanti (anche se riportandoci ad una legge del 1912!).

Second, we explore the heterogeneity of returns to citizenship in a Marginal Treatment Effect framework, showing that individuals with higher resistance to naturalization also display higher potential returns from it.

First, we find that obtaining citizen status allows refugees to close their otherwise large gaps in labour market outcomes relative to non-refugee migrants…

while having small and non-significant effects on the latter group.
 
12/n

Using data from 21 European countries and leveraging variation in citizenship laws across countries, time, and migrant groups as a source of exogenous variation in probability of naturalization...

...we contribute two novel findings to the debate on citizenship and migrants integration

11/n

As we document in our paper, EU countries have reduced minimum residence requirements over time, especially for refugees…

…while increasing the number of eligibility requirements on other dimensions (language, income, “culture”, etc.)

…but if naturalization acts as a “catalyst” for the socioeconomic integration of immigrants, then offering naturalization to foreign residents early on will accelerate their integration, maximizing economic benefits for the host country

Setting restrictive rules on residence, income, language fluency, etc. they can generate strong incentives for immigrants to integrate and then “crown” only those who manage to do so…

Naturalizations and asylum applications are both on the rise in European countries. In 2021, in the EU:
 
• 827,000 individuals obtained citizenship (2.2% of the total foreign pop)

• 540 thousand individuals applied for asylum (adding to 2.8 million refugees already in the EU)

4/n

On #internationalmigrantday :

we present some novel research connecting two seemingly distant areas of migration policy – specifically, asylum regimes and naturalization laws – both central to the ongoing political discourse in Europe.
