What is David Card known for in economics?
I am primarily known for my empirical work in labor economics, particularly challenging long-held beliefs about the impact of minimum wage hikes and immigration. My research often utilizes what we call 'natural experiments' – real-world events that allow us to observe the effects of a policy change or a specific circumstance as if it were a controlled experiment. This approach has been central to understanding complex economic phenomena without needing to engineer laboratory conditions.
