If you're interested in the economics of migration and in spending a week in Paris in June, you might consider applying to the PSE Migration summer school: https://t.co/lij0c8kZD2

Do you expect rural-urban migration to increase urban informality in developing countries? Our forthcoming paper @ecmaEditors with @GUlyssea finds the opposite. We show that between 2000 and 2010 drought-induced migration decreased informality in Brazilian cities.

[Clément Imbert @clem_imbert]

Based on a brand new dynamic model of firms with informality, we show that the informal sector acts as a stepping-stone to formality, but also reduces the economic gains from migration in equilibrium.

I'm on the #EconJobMarket!

Millions of women dropped out of the labor force in rural India starting in the mid-2000s. Why?

My #JMP shows that gendered commuting frictions + urban-biased growth is an important part of the answer.
