AbstractWe study determinants of financial inclusion for individuals with a refugee background (refugees) from over 30 countries residing in Utica, New York. We find that greater financial inclusion is associated with refugees who are male, more educated, employed, richer, older at time of migration, have better language skills, and have lived in the country longer. Financial inclusion also increases with the degree to which refugees trust financial institutions and decreases with the degree to which refugees' close friends are from the same ethnic group. Country of origin, religious affiliation, and religiosity are strong predictors in many specifications.

We estimate the probability of voluntary job change using data
from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) and imputed values
for several different measures of financial stress from the Survey
of Consumer Finances (SCF). Our main finding is that single men are
more likely to respond to credit constraints by voluntarily switching
jobs. For married men, the effect depends on the type of financial
stress experienced. Our results suggest that the higher rate of job mobility
among single men can be attributed to both higher incidence of
credit constraints among this group as well as a differential response
to these constraints.

AbstractWe study determinants of happiness—a subjective measure of wellbeing—for roughly 600 refugees from over 30 different countries currently residing in Utica, NY. For refugees from the former Soviet Union, the former Yugoslavia and Southeast Asia, having many friends from one's own ethnic group is strongly positively correlated with happiness in Utica, while, for African refugees, English-language skills are a strong determinant of happiness with living in their local area. Income is only modestly related to the happiness of refugees in general, though the results vary by group. We do find strong evidence that those with children are happier than those without. These last two results represent departures from much of the broader literature on happiness in the United States.
