Support for the radical right and anti-immigration sentiment go hand in hand. But what is the underlying cause? Local outmigration could be a deep determinant of increased support for the far right. The thread about a new paper explains results, mechanisms and policy implications

[Giovanni Peri @giov_peri]

Today the Journal of Labor Economics published the paper with @MetteFoged_econ and @HasagerLinea on the long run effects of integration polices on the employment probability and earnings of refugees. It is in the Special Issue in honor of David Card.

A really big and important win for immigrant rights advocates securing safer conditions for migrant kids.

Though I'm sad to say that a big and important win is giving migrant children rights to basic safety and humane conditions, this is a low bar for our country to meet.

[Giovanni Peri @giov_peri]

Our papers are especially discussed at page 131-133 on the potential benefit of that immigration may bring to the aging US economy.
