Dynamic Placement in Refugee Resettlement.

This article details the creation of two algorithms to improve upon Annie Moore optimization software to aid refugees in finding resettlement locations with employment opportunities. The authors apply the new algorithms to the United States resettlement agency HIAS’ data from 2014 to 2019 in comparison to Annie’s baseline hindsight-optimal employment. The new algorithms take future employment of new arrivals into account and are incorporated into an updated version of the Annie software.
