This study focuses on the value that employers assign to immigrants’ labour market experience, from both before and after immigration, using a surveyed representative sample of the Swedish immigrant and native populations. A novel feature of the survey is that it contains a measure of immigrants’ actual years of labour market experience, including...

Many Western countries are built on a dual-earner model and have high levels of female labor force participation. Increasing the labor market activity of immigrant women is therefore seen as a key part of immigrant integration. However, female labor force participation (LFP) differs substantially between countries, reflecting differences in work-re...

Hygiene norms in Sweden are generally loose compared to most other countries. Does this looseness affect the hygiene norms among people who immigrate to Sweden from other countries? In a study of hygiene norms among immigrants to Sweden, the change in the physical environment and material living conditions, acculturation to Swedish culture and norm...

Concerns have been raised that immigrants coming to Europe bring fundamentally different social values, affecting the more liberal receiving societies negatively. However, the topic of immigrants’ social values is understudied, and much research studies only one issue at a time, lacking a systematic approach to compare immigrants and native-born ac...

This study explores how researchers' analytical choices affect the reliability of scientific findings. Most discussions of reliability problems in science focus on systematic biases. We broaden the lens to emphasize the idiosyncrasy of conscious and unconscious decisions that researchers make during data analysis. We coordinated 161 researchers in...

Objectives: Women's healthcare is a potential source of cross-cultural conflicts. Diverging values between healthcare providers and patients challenges the provision of culturally sensitive care and meeting migrant women's needs. The aim is to investigate healthcare providers' values in relation to sexual and reproductive rights, gender equality, m...

The paper reports findings from a crowdsourced replication. Eighty-four replicator teams attempted to verify results reported in an original study by running the same models with the same data. The replication involved an experimental condition. A “transparent” group received the original study and code, and an “opaque” group received the same unde...

Findings from 162 researchers in 73 teams testing the same hypothesis with the same data reveal a universe of unique analytical possibilities leading to a broad range of results and conclusions. Surprisingly, the outcome variance mostly cannot be explained by variations in researchers’ modeling decisions or prior beliefs. Each of the 1,261 test mod...
Article
Full-text available
In linking self-employment before and after migration, the often-cited home-country self-employment hypothesis states that immigrants who come from countries with large self-employment sectors are themselves more likely to have been self-employed and hence have a higher propensity for self-employment in their destination country. Using Swedish data...

We analyze the effects of formal recognition of foreign higher education on employment probabilities and earnings for newly arrived immigrants in Sweden. Prior research has found that immigrants have lower returns on education if it was acquired in the country of origin than if it was acquired in the host country. One reason for this is that foreig...

In an era of mass migration, social scientists, populist parties and social movements raise concerns over the future of immigration-destination societies. What impacts does this have on policy and social solidarity? Comparative cross-national research, relying mostly on secondary data, has findings in different directions. There is a threat of sele...

... There are growing concerns over failure of attempts to confirm findings from past studies. This problem, now called the "reproducibility crisis" or "replication crisis", has been documented in the agricultural sciences, biomedical sciences, computer science, economics and many other disciplines (Baker 2016;Begley and Ellis 2012;Breznau et al. 2022;Botvinik-Nezer et al. 2020;Camerer et al. 2018;Chang and Li 2018;Cockburn et al. 2020;Ioannidis 2005;Ioannidis et al. 2017;Kool et al. 2020;Lash 2017;Open Science Collaboration 2015). ...
... After assessing the variability across teams and models, we now turn to estimating the impact of a series of predictors on the reported standardized effects. There is a large amount of variation between and within teams, raising the question as to whether we can explain some of this variation or whether it is purely idiosyncratic (Breznau et al. 2021). ...
... The scenario is not coherent and cohesive (Andersson & Osman, 2008;Berg et al., 2021;Sandberg & Andersson, 2011;Tibajev & Hellgren, 2019). If, on the one hand, there are consistent signs of progress in the definition of achievable aims, on the other hand, there are some unresolved assessment dilemmas (e.g. who is responsible for the recognition? ...
... A cross-sectional survey such as this is susceptible to measurement error, with systematic selection connected to human capital in both immigration (Haberfeld & Lundh, 2014;Tibajev, 2019) and emigration of those in Sweden (Edin et al., 2000;Monti, 2019) as the two most important causes. In essence, if the immigrants that come to Sweden have higher levels of human capital than those who stayed, and if emigration is in part dependent on labour market success, then the studied population captured by a cross-sectional survey will be of individuals twice positively selected. ...
