Refugee populations have long been falsely blamed for the spread of political violence and turmoil. This perception of risk among host communities reinforces the relative neglect of already vulnerable refugee populations. Given these pressures, it is important to learn more about the conditions under which refugees might consider moving on from host countries and relocating elsewhere. We investigate both which factors affect whether individual refugees wish to resettle, and which factors affect to where refugees might prefer to relocate. We expect that refugees are likely to be deterred (attracted) when there is the potential for them to (not) experience abuse at the hands of local populations, when it is (not) hard for them to find work, in the absence (presence) of kin diaspora groups, and when there are (not) restrictions on legal opportunities for their arrival. We draw evidence from an original survey (N=2,000) among Syrian refugees currently hosted in Lebanon. Lebanon ranks first globally with the highest concentration of refugees to citizens: at least 1 in 6 residents there is a refugee. As part of a longer survey, we devoted a portion of questions to refugees’ preferences regarding future movements, including the possibility of relocating to a third country. Included within these questions was a conjoint experiment task in which refugees were presented with a series of paired destinations and asked to choose between them.
