The war in Bosnia and Herzegovina of the early nineties displaced 1.3 million people. This study uses longitudinal data to document the effects of this displacement on labor market outcomes.

This study uses longitudinal data to document the effects of this displacement on labor market outcomes. To account for endogeneity in displacement, I exploit the fact that the level of violence affected the decision to leave and that pre-war economic performance is orthogonal to local violence levels. I find that displaced Bosnians are less likely to be working relative to the people who stayed. Displaced men experience higher unemployment levels, and displaced women are more likely to drop out of the labor force. 2012-03-30T07:28:59Z 2012-03-30T07:28:59Z 2010 Journal Article Journal of Development Economics 03043878 http://hdl.handle.net/10986/4640 EN http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/igo World Bank Journal Article Bosnia and Herzegovina
