4 Preface The inspiration for this book came from a collaborative research project on immigration, begun in 2001, when we were colleagues at University of Nebraska- Lincoln (Bodvarsson was a Visiting Professor there in ). Our project dealt with the application of Say s Law to the supply of immigrant labor, meaning that when the supply of immigrant labor grows in an area, the new immigrants, being consumers, bolster labor demand and help to offset the lower wages they may bring about. Our test case was the seemingly obscure Dawson County, Nebraska, where the meatpacking industry experienced a relatively huge increase in Hispanic-born labor supply around We found for Dawson County this demand effect to be significant and our results for this test case generalizable to other, more prominent, test cases. This inspired us to study the famous Mariel Boatlift, where Miami s labor force grew suddenly by 7% due to the arrival of nearly 125,000 Cuban refugees in the spring of In that study, we showed that the Marielitos exerted a significant demand effect, which we argue helps to account for the stylized fact that the Mariel influx had a relatively benign effect on the Miami labor market. We had the privilege of presenting both studies at various conferences in the USA, Norway, Taiwan and Israel, and these studies have been published in Labour Economics and the Research in Labor Economics series (both studies are discussed in detail in this book). As we delved further into the literature on the distributional effects of immigration while doing our collaborative research, we kept looking for resources where someone pulled all the literature together and provided a synthesis of past research. We found not only that that part of the immigration literature lacked a synthesis, but so did the entire field of immigration economics. Graduate and advanced undergraduate students taking migration and labor courses need a reference that ties all the academic literature on migration together and fellow researchers inside and outside of Economics need a reference to satisfy their particular interests in migration. We thus chose to fill this void by writing a book ourselves! This book project began in 2005 and we have since journeyed through the many fascinating veins of literature on the determinants of migration, the characteristics of immigrants, the distributional effects of immigration, immigration policy, and other issues. It has truly been a labor of love for both of us. The aim of this book is twofold. First, more colleges and universities are now offering courses for graduate students and advanced undergraduate students on v
5 vi Preface migration. These courses are usually populated in Economics departments, but also attract interest from students in fields such as sociology, political science and geography. We have spoken with colleagues who have taught courses on migration and they tell us that, rather than just teaching articles, they very much prefer a reference that provides an expository survey and assessment of the literature. We aim to fill this need with our book. Second, economists, sociologists, political scientists and practitioners in other fields interested in immigration need the same type of reference and we hope that this book fills their particular needs. In the book, we cut a wide swath through the literature, sometimes highlighting and detailing particularly prominent studies. We hope that by using the book, the reader gets enough detail to gain a sufficiently strong understanding of the issues without having to read further, or that the reader gets enough detail to get a solid roadmap for taking a major plunge into the literature. To use a catchy phrase from the retailing arena, we view this book as being either a one-stop shopping resource for those who want a quick, but detailed exposure to the field, or a reliable resource for those who wish to navigate through what is a shopping mall of literature. After having completed the manuscript, we have also come to see this book as a source of research topics for economists and other social scientists. As in the case of many real shopping malls here in the U.S., there is not nearly as much variety or broad coverage of our needs as the sheer size of the mall suggests. The economics literature leaves many immigration questions unanswered. The reader of this book will thus find many exciting research opportunities. We have benefitted greatly from the advice, comments, insights and encouragement from many of our colleagues. We thank in particular our coauthor Joshua Lewer, who contributed substantially to our Mariel Boatlift reexamination study. We thank the many discussants of our papers at meetings of the Society of Labor Economists, European Association of Labor Economists, European Society of Population Economics, Western Economic Association International, Allied Social Science Association, Western Social Science Association, the Great Plains Center at University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and a special conference titled the The Economics of Immigration and Social Diversity, held at Bar Ilan University in Tel Aviv in We also thank participants at various seminars for their very useful comments. We, of course, thank our respective academic institutions, St. Cloud State University and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, for funding our travel to the conferences. We also thank the Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA), where we are both research fellows, for helping to promote our work. And we thank Barbara van den Berg for her enthusiastic proofreading and corrections of various drafts of the manuscript. We reserve our most heartfelt thanks for the last, which is to our families, especially our wives Mary Bodvarsson and Barbara van den Berg, for their support, understanding, encouragement, love, and patience, as we put in the many hours preparing multiple drafts of this book. We dedicate this book to them. April, 2009 O rn B. Bodvarsson Hendrik Van den Berg
