abstract = "Forced displacement as a consequence of wars, civil conflicts, or natural disasters does not only have contemporaneous consequences but also long-run repercussions. This eclectic overview summarises some recent research on forced displacement in economic history. While many of the episodes covered refer to Europe, this survey points to literature across all continents. It highlights new developments, and points to gaps in the literature.",

note = "Funding Information: . The lecture was sponsored by the The Economic History Society of Australia and New Zealand. Participants at this event made insightful comments. I thank the Editor (Kris Inwood), three referees, as well as Miriam Artiles, Andreas Ferrara, Boyd Hunter and Felipe Valencia Caicedo for constructive feedback. The paper builds on, but is substantially different from Becker and Ferrara (2019): its focus is on historic episodes of migration, and it incorporates a lot of new work in a quickly evolving literature, especially on the role of networks in the escape from persecution. Becker thanks Volker Lindenthal, Sharun Mukand and Fabian Waldinger for the enjoyable work on our joint paper (Becker et al., 2021) that inspired this survey Publisher Copyright: {\textcopyright} 2022 The Author.
