Excited to see this out — had a great time working on this with @William_R_Kerr, Sari, and Louis!

Featured in the latest Bulletin on Entrepreneurship: "Immigrant Entrepreneurship in the US" nber.org/be/20242/immig…

Immigrants accounted for 15% of the 2020 US population, but 27% of new businesses formed in 2021-23. Differences in education and fields of study only partly explain immigrant firms’ high rates of patenting and innovation. @william_r_kerr @schodavadia edwardconard.com/macro-roundup/…

Immigrants account for a quarter of new employer businesses in the US and their firms are more likely to be innovative, from @schodavadia, Sari Pekkala Kerr, @william_r_kerr, and Louis J. Maiden nber.org/papers/w32400

Updated estimates of #immigrant #entrepreneurship in the US by @william_r_kerr & coauthors. Tons of powerful insights. Bottom line: "Immigrants contribute disproportionately to entrepreneurship"
