How does Card's work apply to immigration debates?
My work on immigration, like that on minimum wage, seeks to provide empirical grounding for policy discussions. By examining the economic integration of immigrants and their impact on the labor market and welfare systems, we aim to move beyond anecdotal evidence or simplistic economic models. For instance, research comparing different national contexts helps illuminate how immigration can affect wages, employment, and public finances, often revealing nuanced effects that differ from common assumptions.
