Asian Americans are the fastest-growing racial group in the US. We spoke with @hpostel of @DukeSanford about the history of Asian immigration and how current policy might shape immigration going forward. #ResearchHighlight https://t.co/qurRZ81E9M

A new article in the Journal of Economic Perspectives by DUPRI Scholar @hpostel shows that the trajectory of Asian immigration to the United States has been uniquely and profoundly shaped by over a century of shifting federal policies.

“Report your neighbors for purging and then take you can take their houses” is an official government message of the Trump admin.

Migration from poor to rich countries leads to massive income gains for migrants + remittances back home. But isn't there a trade-off here with long-run growth in the country of origin?

This new @AEAjournals paper might be the best causal evidence we have, & suggests not

Thrilled to finally get this incredible new book @PrincetonHist @harvardpress

Beth is a brilliant scholar, ridiculously evocative writer, and one of the most thoughtful humans I know.

Also understanding how state and local govs regulated migrant lives is kind of important 🤷‍♀️

@FelineFreier @MigracionesUP Weeeee congratulations amazing!!

We are sounding the alarm: US humanitarian and refugee leadership - long the backbone of global crisis response - is headed toward total collapse if the Trump/Rubio/Musk cuts are not immediately reversed.

Millions of lives around the world hang in the balance.

@WFUEconomics Had a great time! Thanks so much for the invite

[WFU Economics @WFUEconomics]

Yesterday we hosted Hannah Postel @hpostel (Duke) for our junior workshop—thank you for visiting us!

She presented “Subgroup Disparities in Automated Census Record Linkage” (with Abramitzky, @leah_boustan & Eriksson), sparking a rich discussion on historical data and migration!

[Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @ReichlinMelnick]

This hasn't gotten enough attention! Over 1,500 students have had their visas revoked on mostly nonsense reasons, with ICE often telling them to leave immediately or be arrested. But then when sued, ICE suddenly started saying they don't have to leave, actually. It IS Kafkaesque!
