Article Trends: Recent work examines how mass migration (19th-century Sweden) drove technological change via labor scarcity, showing increased capital intensity in agriculture/industry. Other studies analyze redistribution demand influenced by income misperceptions and immigrant integration through social networks. A 2022 paper with Hammar & Khan uses experimental evidence from Sweden to demonstrate improved integration through social connections.
