@kausmickey Small effects. Seems a no brainer to accept immigrants and compensate labor mkt losers through transfer payments.
@kausmickey Mickey, where is your analysis?
@kausmickey Card believes the economic laws of supply/demand on wages don’t apply 2 immigrants. Should put his bong away
@kausmickey Thx for link. Seems Peri is a repeat offender (Ottaviano/Peri ’06) on classifying HS students as HS drop-outs (p. 13)
@kausmickey Different from this paper? https://t.co/LYPwHT9Ept
@kausmickey Peri touted the benefit of higher housing prices, because it’s largely owned by natives, but it’s a cost to non-owners.
@kausmickey I would pay for the whole thing but my wages are stagnant so I can’t.
@lcbutterfield @kausmickey ‘cept we don’t know how to efficiently
@lukelea @kausmickey But we *do* know how to efficiently restrict immigration? Please share that info.
