Abstract [en]

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of the 2015 migration crisis on Sweden’s GDP per capita, unemployment and wages after the crisis, from 2015-2022. The method used is the Synthetic Control Method where the synthetic unit is constructed to represent Sweden in the absence of the migration crisis, created by a weighted average of 11 European countries sharing similar attributes with Sweden. The results of this study suggest that Sweden has been affected negatively by the crisis on GDP per capita and unemployment, however no observed impact has been noted for wage growth.
