This course offers an introduction to the economics of immigration, exploring motives for migration, its effects on the destination and origin economies, including the impact on labor and product markets, economic growth, income inequality, urban environments, fiscal policy, and the macroeconomy. While the course will heavily rely on theory from introductory micro, we will go beyond the conventional partial equilibrium labor supply and demand model, learn to scrutinize empirical evidence, and evaluation the ramifications of diverse immigration policies.
