In this continuation application, we seek funding to further study how immigrants, from different countries with different cultural characteristics, cope with and influence the Swedish labor market from two perspectives. We study how cultural factors affect immigrants' labor market integration, focusing on the effects of coming from cultures with different degrees of, for example, tolerance, trust, religiosity and individualism. We also study how the multicultural composition of the labor force affects the functioning of companies, profitability, personnel growth and innovations. We seek funding to further our understanding of these relationships. We deepen our analysis of how both high and low tolerance can be productive for the individual. We analyze a unique longitudinal firm database that is linked to individual data on employees. An additional strength is that we can link indicators of cultural factors and attitudes in immigrants' background countries to individual outcomes. This avoids problems of reverse causality. Our project is based on a real problem: weak labor market integration among foreign-born people. The project adds new policy-relevant knowledge that complements previous research. The project provides a basis for designing policies for a more inclusive and equal society, but also insights into how culture affects the functioning of the economy.
