Asian Americans are the fastest-growing racial group in the US. We spoke with @hpostel of @DukeSanford about the history of Asian immigration and how current policy might shape immigration going forward. #ResearchHighlight aeaweb.org/research/asian…

A new article in the Journal of Economic Perspectives by DUPRI Scholar @hpostel shows that the trajectory of Asian immigration to the United States has been uniquely and profoundly shaped by over a century of shifting federal policies. aeaweb.org/articles?id=10…

“Report your neighbors for purging and then take you can take their houses” is an official government message of the Trump admin.

Migration from poor to rich countries leads to massive income gains for migrants + remittances back home. But isn't there a trade-off here with long-run growth in the country of origin? This new @AEAjournals paper might be the best causal evidence we have, & suggests not

@FIFAWorldCup @FIFAcom why am I allowed to access match pages yet for every one of them when I select tickets they say not available???

@ppcreanza weee good luck superstar!

In case you missed it last week, here's my JMP 🧵👇

Thrilled to finally get this incredible new book @PrincetonHist @harvardpress Beth is a brilliant scholar, ridiculously evocative writer, and one of the most thoughtful humans I know. Also understanding how state and local govs regulated migrant lives is kind of important 🤷‍♀️

@FelineFreier @MigracionesUP Weeeee congratulations amazing!!

🌟This has been a long time coming… I'm thrilled to share that I'm joining Freie Universität Berlin as University Professor of Political Science for Latin America! Excited to be part of the LAI/FU community, meet my students and keep collaborating with @MigracionesUP and beyond!

We are sounding the alarm: US humanitarian and refugee leadership - long the backbone of global crisis response - is headed toward total collapse if the Trump/Rubio/Musk cuts are not immediately reversed. Millions of lives around the world hang in the balance.

@realDLeblang @JohnHolbein1 Oh no David do we have to fight now

@JohnHolbein1 End. End. End. End. End. And footnotes are always, always, always at the bottom of the page, never at the end of the book. NEVER.

If you had your way, would figures/tables in working papers all appear at the end of the document or imbedded in the text?

😭👿🤬💔

@royalairmaroc I am trying to submit a complaint regarding a booking issue — your web form will not accept my valid ticket number and your email rejected my message. Please advise how I can submit this complaint. Thank you.

@RenanChMarques We are so excited to have you back in the fall!

TAing has been one of the most meaningful parts of my PhD. I’ve genuinely looked forward to preparing sessions and helping students make sense of abstract metrics concepts, especially those aiming to apply them in practice. It’s a part of academia we talk about far too little.

We’re proud to offer a 25% tuition reduction for current or recently displaced federal employees applying to our Master of Public Policy (MPP) or Master of International Development Policy (MIDP) programs for the 2025-2026 academic year. Details: duke.is/j/5h7y

THAT'S MY BEST FRIEND SHE A REAL BAD B @Kate_K_Logan testifying @USCC_GOV 💪👏

@WFUEconomics Had a great time! Thanks so much for the invite

Yesterday we hosted Hannah Postel @hpostel (Duke) for our junior workshop—thank you for visiting us! She presented “Subgroup Disparities in Automated Census Record Linkage” (with Abramitzky, @leah_boustan & Eriksson), sparking a rich discussion on historical data and migration!

This hasn't gotten enough attention! Over 1,500 students have had their visas revoked on mostly nonsense reasons, with ICE often telling them to leave immediately or be arrested. But then when sued, ICE suddenly started saying they don't have to leave, actually. It IS Kafkaesque!
