Understanding Trade-offs in Immigration Policy

Description of the granted funding

Immigration is persistently a central topic in public debate, but there remain significant gaps in our understanding of the trade-offs that relate to immigration policies. We combine new administrative data sources and state-of-the-art econometric research designs to make progress in understanding i) how the availability of foreign workers affects firms and their employees, ii) how migrants' legal rights affect their labor market status and economic integration, iii) how family unification contributes to migrant families' economic and social integration and iv) how to improve the labor market integration of unemployed immigrants.
