Thank you @voxdev.bsky.social for inviting us to write about our research on extreme temperatures and migration in El Salvador!

Muy feliz y honrada de contribuir a esta gran iniciativa de la Facultad de Economía - Uniandes! economia.uniandes.edu.co/voces/mas-al... En esta entrada resumo un nuevo documento de trabajo co-autorado con mis increíbles colegas @chrambrosio.bsky.social y Juliana Quigua: www.iza.org/publications...

First day at the Conference Redesdal! A perfect day at my alma mater @uniandes.bsky.social full of great presentations, a chance to reconnect with friends & colleagues, a talk by former president Juan Manuel Santos, & insights from Maria Jimena Duzan on communicating research to a wider audience.

In case you missed it, this new immigration enforcement dashboard contains detailed data from the deportation data project, no affiliation, and will be updated in the coming weeks with detainer data and detention data. Stay tuned and follow me here and on Substack for announcements.

This is another crippling blow not just to high-skill immigration in America, but specifically to the talented students who come here to study at US universities in the hope of staying to contribute their skills to the US. There won't be many chances to do that anymore. Door slammed in their faces.

You've likely seen the new $100,000 penalty on high-skill immigrant workers. Here's the next, separate bomb the White House is dropping on high skill immigration, to be officially published *tomorrow*. tl;dr: Most H-1Bs now inaccessible for entry-level jobs, e.g. new grads from US universities.

Very useful summary by @mclem.org of the evidence on skilled migration and the likely impact of Trump's H1B visa fee. www.piie.com/blogs/realti...

Do voters prefer refugees to economic immigrants? A simple question that decades of social science still can't answer. In my new piece, I go down the rabbit hole of why the evidence is mixed, and what that means for debates about populist accommodation. alexanderkustov.substack.com/p/do-people-...

Happy to share my new working paper with my great co-authors @chrambrosio.bsky.social & Juliana Quigua where we estimate the labor market effects of U.S. immigration enforcement policies in El Salvador www.iza.org/pub/0mZVpDAb @iza.org #econsky #academicsky

Who is Arrested by ICE under Trump 2.0? A 🧵 New from me & @elizabethacox.bsky.social! Piece: immresearch.org/publications... 1. ICE arrests spike in Jan & May 2025; when arrests increase, percent of those arrested who are convicted of a crime falls Majority arrested have no criminal conviction

Many children migrate, but we know far too little about the intersection of migration and early childhood. publications.iadb.org/en/growing-m... Daga, Lopez Book, and van der Werf show what we DO know.

I was reading draft papers & found that authors omitted the method in the abstract or buried their results summary pages into the intro. There are lots of ways to write abstracts/intros, but here are common structures in econ. www.cgdev.org/blog/how-wri... www.cgdev.org/blog/how-wri...

I really enjoyed presenting my work at the IDB Research Department—great discussions that will help us keep improving our paper! Working paper coming soon! #econsky events.iadb.org/calendar/eve...
