Class Details

This course will explore migration across national borders from an economic perspective, with a focus on migration to the United States. Who migrates, and why? What are the impacts on the economies of the origin country and the destination country, and on migrants themselves? What policies shape immigration and enforcement of immigration law, and what are their impacts? What is the role of immigrants in the broader society? We will emphasize empirical analysis as a data-driven way of understanding the economics of immigration.
