The aim of Sweden’s refugee settlement policy is that refugees should be offered an             initial place of dwelling in a municipality with available accommodation and a good             labour market within commuting distance. Refugees risk long-run unemployment, if             initially placed in a municipality with bad labour market opportunities (see Edin et             al., 2004 and Åslund et al., 2006). It is therefore important to know to what extent             the state of a municipality’s labour market (and not only availability of apartments)             drives the willingness to receive refugees. No such study has previously been con-             ducted. This paper thus aims to bridge this gap in the research by analyzing data             between 2006-2010 for all 290 Swedish municipalities and their contracts with the             Swedish central government regarding refugee reception. The main findings are,             when accounting for municipality-fixed effects, that neither unemployment nor             available apartments affect the probability of signing a contract. Additional govern-             ment grants, on the other hand, has a positive effect on the likelihood of signing a             contract. Among municipalities which do sign contracts, the agreed number of refu-             gees is negatively affected by higher municipality unemployment and positively             affected by additional available apartments.

Em Palmas, o Decreto Municipal nº 227/2011, determinou a implantação da coleta seletiva nas quadras 404 e 904 Sul, mas, desde 2014, a coleta seletiva foi suspensa devido à baixa adesão e à grande quantidade de rejeito presente no material coletado. Neste trabalho, o Método de Valoração Contingente (MVC) foi aplicado com o intuito de captar a Disposição a Receber (DAR) da população das quadras 404 e 904 Sul de Palmas pela participação em um programa de coleta seletiva de resíduos sólidos domiciliares. A forma de captação do valor foi a de lances livres e o instrumento de pagamento foi a oferta de desconto mensal na fatura de energia elétrica. A DAR obtida foi de R$29,04/residência/mês e as variáveis independentes presentes no modelo econométrico adotado foram: o grau de escolaridade, a natureza do imóvel de residência, o tempo em que o indivíduo reside em Palmas e o engajamento ambiental. O estudo mostrou que a adoção de incentivos econômicos para fomentar a participação da população em iniciativas de coleta seletiva é uma boa ferramenta para motivar a adesão. No entanto, a educação ambiental e o envolvimento afetivo da comunidade com a cidade também são fatores capazes de aumentar a participação em programas de coleta seletiva. / In Palmas, the Municipal Decree number 227/2011 determined the implementation of the selective waste collection in blocks 404 and 904 south, but since 2014, the selective waste collection was suspended due to the low adhesion and the large amount of waste present in the material collected. In this work, the Contingent Valuation Method (CVM) was applied with the purpose of capturing the willingness to receive (WTR) of the population of blocks 404 and 904 south of Palmas by participating in a selective collection program of household solid waste. The method of capturing the value was free throws and the payment instrument was the monthly discount offer on the electricity bill. The WTR obtained was R$ 29.04/residence/month and the independent variables present in the econometric model adopted were the degree of schooling, the nature of the residence property, the time in which the individual resides in Palmas and the environmental engagement. The study showed that the adoption of economic incentives to encourage the participation of the population in selective waste collection initiatives is a good tool to motivate the adhesion. However, environmental education and the affective involvement of the community with the city are also factors capable of increasing participation in selective waste collection programs.
