1 Harvard Kennedy School Prof. George J. Borjas Fall 2013 SUP-311 The Economic Impact of Immigration Class: Mondays and Wednesdays, 10:10-11:30, BL-1 Office: Littauer 304 Telephone: Office Hours: Monday, Wednesday, 8:30-9:30, and by appointment (I m usually in my office most mornings, Monday-Thursday) gborjas@harvard.edu Faculty Assistant: Stacy Hannell Littauer 307A Telephone: Stacy_Hannell@hks.harvard.edu Overview This course examines the theoretical and empirical models developed to study the economic impact of immigration. The course examines the various economic issues that have dominated the debate over immigration policy in the United States and other receiving countries. These issues include the changing contribution of immigrants to the country s skill endowment; the rate of economic assimilation experienced by immigrants; the impact of immigrants on the employment opportunities of native-born workers; the extent to which immigrants pay their way in the welfare state; and the source and magnitude of the economic benefits generated by immigration. The course also examines the extent to which the economic impact of immigration persists across generations, and compares the consequences of the different immigration policies pursued by some of the largest immigrant-receiving countries. In sum: what does economics have to say about the consequences of immigration, and what does one have to assume to get it to say what it says? Prerequisites: Previous exposure to microeconomic theory at the level of API-101 is required. Requirements: There will be a midterm and a student presentation. The midterm will be composed of questions designed to test the student s familiarity with the various models and academic papers that are discussed in class and/or are in the syllabus. The midterm will count for 40 percent of the final grade. The midterm will be held on Monday, October 21, Please check your calendars as soon as possible and avoid any scheduling conflicts for the midterm. I will NOT
2 2 schedule makeup exams except for students with documented dire emergencies (e.g., you are admitted to a hospital). In addition, each student must make an in-class presentation. The nature of the presentation will depend on the number of students enrolled in the class. Typically, students form small groups, choose a topic that deals with some aspect of immigration policy anywhere in the world, and make a detailed minute presentation. The presentations will take place in the last 2 or 3 weeks of the course, depending on enrollment. I can provide a suggested list of topics for the in-class presentation, but students are free to explore other areas of interest. I tend to be very open to topic choices as long as the topic was not carefully discussed in class (if in doubt, check with me). You should let me know of the topic by Monday, October 28, 2013; a page with the presentation title, a short paragraph describing the nature of the problem, and a list of the group members will do. The class presentation counts for 40 percent of the final grade. Finally, class participation is strongly encouraged, will be graded, and will count for 20 percent of the final grade. Class Logistics: 1. Students are expected to attend class, do the readings before the lecture, and be prepared to participate in class discussions. No mobile phones, tablets, PDAs, or laptops may be used in class. In short: No electronics of any type are allowed unless there s a documented need. See me or have the relevant administrator contact me if such a need exists. 2. Tardiness is extremely disruptive to the flow of the class. Please try to make it to the class on time. If I detect a problem as the semester progresses (or if any student complains about this issue), I will rethink the situation and most likely tax (i.e., a reduction in grade points) those who impose the negative externality. Readings: The course will track the discussion in George J. Borjas, Heaven s Door: Immigration Policy and the American Economy, Princeton University Press, The additional readings are designed to: (a) introduce the student to some of the key studies in the academic literature; and (b) expose the student to the (very) diverse set of models, findings, and inferences that inform the policy debate. (With one exception, I have purposefully avoided assigning any non-academic readings. The immigration debate is contentious enough as is, and there s little need to make it more so by relying on material whose main purpose is to influence the direction of the public discourse).
