ECON 260 - Immigration Economics (4)


An examination of the causes and consequences of immigration using theoretical and empirical tools. Course covers the migration experience from the perspectives of immigrants, residents of origin countries, and people in destination countries. Particular attention is paid to: (1) why people immigrate, where they choose to locate, how long they choose to stay, and how they adjust (assimilate) to their new countries; and (2) how immigration affects native-born citizens in destination countries, including the effects on employment, wages, and fiscal outcomes. Odd years Spring.
