This paper reviews, reanalyzes, and extends to the long run the esti-
mated effects of integration polices on the employment probability
and earnings of refugees in Denmark. We first describe the dynamics
of labor market outcomes of refugees in Denmark. We then find that
increased language training and initial placement in strong labor mar-
kets improved refugees’ long-run labor market outcomes, while cut-
ting initial welfare payments and placing refugees near other refugees
did not improve them. Policies focused on matching refugees with
occupations experiencing shortages have positive short-run effects, but
we cannot yet assess their long-run effects.
