5 Relevant Preferences Firms have strong preferences for exchange rate levels. Purchasing power vs. price competitiveness. Exporters and import-competing firms prefer undervalued currency. Firms in the non-tradable sector prefer overvalued currency. Adrian J. Shin (University of Michigan) Mobility of Rights November 9, / 15
6 Relevant Preferences Firms have strong preferences for exchange rate levels. Purchasing power vs. price competitiveness. Exporters and import-competing firms prefer undervalued currency. Firms in the non-tradable sector prefer overvalued currency. Migrant workers are extremely sensitive to exchange rate fluctuations for remittances. Appreciation of the host country s currency = remittances. Depreciation of the host country s currency = remittances. Adrian J. Shin (University of Michigan) Mobility of Rights November 9, / 15
7 Relevant Preferences Firms have strong preferences for exchange rate levels. Purchasing power vs. price competitiveness. Exporters and import-competing firms prefer undervalued currency. Firms in the non-tradable sector prefer overvalued currency. Migrant workers are extremely sensitive to exchange rate fluctuations for remittances. Appreciation of the host country s currency = remittances. Depreciation of the host country s currency = remittances. How do exchange rate levels affect labor-intensive firms that rely on migrant workers? Adrian J. Shin (University of Michigan) Mobility of Rights November 9, / 15

19 Preferences for Policy Intervention under Depreciation Depreciation (Return Migration) Sector Factor Intensity Trade Immigration Tradable Capital-Intensive Low Low Labor-Intensive Low Indifferent Non-Tradable Capital-Intensive Low Low Labor-Intensive Low Migrants Rights Hypothesis 1. Policymakers are more likely to offer rights to migrants under currency depreciation as the economic and political significance of non-tradable labor-intensive firms increases. Adrian J.

20 Preferences for Policy Intervention under Depreciation Depreciation (Return Migration) Sector Factor Intensity Trade Immigration Tradable Capital-Intensive Low Low Labor-Intensive Low Indifferent Non-Tradable Capital-Intensive Low Low Labor-Intensive Low Migrants Rights Hypothesis 1. Policymakers are more likely to offer rights to migrants under currency depreciation as the economic and political significance of non-tradable labor-intensive firms increases. What do I mean by rights? Adrian J. Shin (University of Michigan) Mobility of Rights November 9, / 15
21 Scope of Migrants Rights Expanding migrants rights. Access to public goods: education, employment, health care, housing, public benefit eligibility, etc. Family reunion, labor market mobility, etc. Export of social security benefits ( Mobility of Rights ).

24 Preferences for Policy Intervention under Appreciation Appreciation (Illegal Immigration) Sector Factor Intensity Trade Immigration Tradable Capital-Intensive High Low Labor-Intensive High Open Immigration Non-Tradable Capital-Intensive Low Low Labor-Intensive Low Indifferent Hypothesis 2.

25 Preferences for Policy Intervention under Appreciation Appreciation (Illegal Immigration) Sector Factor Intensity Trade Immigration Tradable Capital-Intensive High Low Labor-Intensive High Open Immigration Non-Tradable Capital-Intensive Low Low Labor-Intensive Low Indifferent Hypothesis 2. As the magnitude of exchange rate appreciation increases, policymakers will restrict rights to migrants. Hypothesis 3. If labor-intensive firms in the tradable sector can employ migrant workers, their demand for trade protection under currency appreciation decreases. Adrian J. Shin (University of Michigan) Mobility of Rights November 9, / 15
26 What happens when trade is closed? Currency depreciation (return migration) affects all labor-intensive firms negatively. Currency appreciation decreases the likelihood of the provision of rights to migrants. Adrian J. Shin (University of Michigan) Mobility of Rights November 9, / 15

37 Next Steps Examine the implications of the Uruguay Round for my theory. Extend my theory to include the classical gold standard and the Bretton Woods system (adjustable pegs). Adrian J. Shin (University of Michigan) Mobility of Rights November 9, / 15
38 Next Steps Examine the implications of the Uruguay Round for my theory. Extend my theory to include the classical gold standard and the Bretton Woods system (adjustable pegs). Find ways to come up with comparable measures of MRER from the perspective of receiving countries in the early 20th century to see how labor mobility, exchange rates, trade openness, and immigration policies have moved together.
