Forced Migration and Human Capital: Insights from Economic History by Sascha O. Becker

This masterclass, led by Sascha O. Becker (University of Warwick, Monash University, and RFBerlin), explores the economic consequences of forced migration through a historical lens. Building on studies in leading journals, participants will examine key episodes of forced migration, including post–World War II population transfers and, in particular, the persecution and escape of intellectuals under the fascist regimes of the twentieth century.

We are delighted to welcome Sascha O. Becker, he is Xiaokai Yang Chair of Business and Economics at Monash University, Melbourne, and part-time Professor at the University of Warwick, England. Previously, he held positions at Ludwig-Maximilians-University (LMU) Munich and at the University of Stirling, Scotland.

His research has appeared in international journals, including the American Sociological Review, the Quarterly Journal of Economics and the American Economic Review.

This masterclass provides a unique opportunity, with plenty of time for discussion and direct interaction with Professor Becker. Participants will be able to ask questions and engage in conversations with one of the leading voices in labor economics. Please note that participants will be expected to read the papers in the syllabus.
