Today marks the 100th anniversary of the Johnson-Reed Act, America's most radical immigration restriction that shut the door to the 'undesirable' immigrants of Southern and Eastern Europe and Asia.

4/ That's why I'm so excited by my work with @_MaxPosch_ and Marco Tabellini using historical newspapers to help understand where anti-immigrant sentiment originates and how it evolves in the lead-up and after the passing of immigration restrictions.

Working paper en route!

@hpostel @EconHistAssoc Let me know when all 200 pages become publicly available, I'd be super interested in reading it!

Delighted to have my article out in @ConversationEDU!

Based on my research on the 'honeypot' effect - how immigration restrictions create labor market distortions that ultimately hurt low-skilled workers.
