Abstract

This article summarizes theoretical studies on asylum provision in multi-country settings. The common feature of their models is the assumption that asylum‐related policies of safe countries generate cross‐border externalities. The presence of externalities results in inefficiently low provision of asylum. The studies explore ways to increase asylum provision to the efficient level, but reveal more difficulties than a solution.

Keywords: asylum provision, asylum seeker, refugee, refugee protection, international migration, international public goods, cross‐border externalities, international coordination
