The second part of my Berlin trilogy is out in Global Networks!

The thing about this article: there are *plenty* of migrants who want to move to these areas (eg in places like Brandenburg and Saxony in Germany) but too many of the locals have fascist sympathies and hound them out. That is a major problem, unaddressed in this piece.
New paper out in @science.org!

Vielleicht sollten wir ja mehr über Abwanderung als über Zuwanderung sprechen/ Maybe we should talk more about outmigration instead of immigration ...
Upward mobility? New paper on intergenerational mobility of the children of immigrants in 15 countries, with UK contribution from @alanmanning4.bsky.social

Employment rates by country of birth: historically, non-EU migrants to UK had relatively low employment rates, mostly reflecting low participation rates amongst women from some countries.

I spoke at @piie.com about the crisis in US immigration policy.
The mass exclusion of US immigrants that begins in 10 weeks will eliminate jobs for US natives and raise the federal deficit (that is: will raise taxes on natives and our children).
I go through some of the key nonpartisan research—>
