Some of the issues Özge Öner addresses in her research:
- Neighborhood-level analysis of ethnic enclaves and segregation
- Migration and mobility of immigrants and natives within and across local labor markets
- Distance sensitivity of demand and market accessibility for various types of retail and service activities
- Spatial composition of retail and service markets
- Within city co-location of economic activity
- Urban amenities, place attractiveness, and income sorting within cities
- Population and service decline in rural areas
Özge Öners research deals with several issues in relation to spatial determinants of consumption, particularly focusing on the location dynamics of retail markets, labor market outcomes of residential segregation and ethnic-enclaves, as well as migration and mobility of immigrants and natives across local labor markets. Özge has also worked with applied models of human capital, social capital, and the geography of the hospitality sector.

The former Swedish Government launched Etableringsreformen, stipulating that refugees be placed in municipalities where there are job opportunities. Özge Öner and Johan Wennström, IFN, have analyzed where new arrivals are placed and find that it is in municipalities with a declining population and high unemployment – in other words where the conditions for job growth is weak. These findings and more are discussed in this podcast (24 juni 2015).
