George J. Borjas is Robert W. Scrivner Professor of Economics and Social Policy at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.
This excellent book is crisply and clearly written and makes a
significant contribution to the fields of labor and immigration
economics. It will be a go-to resource on immigration for many
years to come.
*Gordon H. Hanson, University of California, San Diego*
This book is an excellent synthesis of a diverse set of theory and
empirical work on immigration. It is well organized, with early
chapters doing a good job of setting up the later ones. I have
never seen a better job of bringing together such diverse topics as
assimilation, selection, and labor market impacts. The author has
done an effective job of simplifying the theories down to their
essences; and developing equations that make the theories’
implications plain to see with simple algebra, often accompanied by
a clear figure. It will be accessible and interest-provoking to
graduate and advanced undergraduate students in economics.
