      Engaging Community to Create Proactive, Equitable Public Safety

      Saint Paul, Minnesota Mayor Melvin Carter swept into office in 2018 promising equity. He wanted a new public safety framework that would be rooted in community. Then, with the COVID-19 pandemic wiping out much of the city’s budget and the May 2020 killing of George Floyd by a police officer in neighboring Minneapolis sparking calls to defund the police, how would Mayor Carter make these changes happen? Professor Mitch Weiss discusses the challenges and rewards of “possibility government” in his case, "Community-First Public Safety."  Open for comment; 0 Comment(s) posted.

      The Political Effects of Immigration: Culture or Economics?

      by Alberto Alesina and Marco Tabellini

      This paper reviews and explains the growing literature focused on the political effects of immigration, and highlights fruitful avenues for future research. When compared to potential labor market competition and other economic forces, broadly defined cultural factors have a stronger political and social impact.

      Discrimination, Disenfranchisement and African American WWII Military Enlistment

      by Nancy Qian and Marco Tabellini

      The United States entered World War II during one of the worst periods of racial discrimination in post-Civil War history. This paper examines the social costs of this discrimination, with clear implications for policymakers: Requiring equal contributions from citizens means treating citizens equally.

      Changing In-group Boundaries: The Role of New Immigrant Waves in the US

      by Vasiliki Fouka, Shom Mazumder, and Marco Tabellini

      How do new immigrants affect natives’ views of other minority groups? This work studies the evolution of group boundaries in the United States and indicates that whites living in states receiving more Mexican immigrants recategorize blacks as in-group members, because of the inflow of a new, “affectively” more distant group.

      The Impact of Technology and Trade on Migration: Evidence from the US

      by Marius Faber, Andres Sarto, and Marco Tabellini

      Labor mobility can re-equilibrate local labor markets after an economic shock. Both robot adoption and Chinese import competition between 1990 and 2015 caused large declines in manufacturing employment across US local labor markets (commuting zones, CZs). However, only robots were associated with a decline in CZ population, which resulted from reduced in-migration rather than by increased out-migration.

      Legislators' Response to Changes in the Electorate: The Great Migration and Civil Rights

      by Alvaro Calderon, Vasiliki Fouka, and Marco Tabellini

      The second Great Migration (1940–1970) brought to the US North and West more than four million African Americans. We show that this unique episode of internal migration contributed to the development and eventual success of civil rights legislation.

      From Immigrants to Americans: Race and Assimilation During the Great Migration

      by Vasiliki Fouka, Soumyajit Mazumder, and Marco Tabellini

      The Great Migration of African Americans and the mass migration of Europeans both contributed to forming the modern American racial and ethnic landscape. This analysis finds that native whites more readily accepted European immigrants as African Americans arrived in the US North during the first Great Migration, facilitating the assimilation of European immigrants in northern urban centers.

      Economic Integration and Democracy: An Empirical Investigation

      by Giacomo Magistretti and Marco Tabellini

      Economic integration reduces or eliminates trade barriers and coordinates monetary and fiscal policies. This study suggests that demand for democracy increases with economic integration due to the presence of a learning and cultural transmission channel, so less democratic countries learn from the institutions of their (more) democratic partners.

      Gifts of the Immigrants, Woes of the Natives: Lessons from the Age of Mass Migration

      by Marco Tabellini

      Investigating the economic and political effects of immigration across US cities between 1910 and 1930, this paper finds that political opposition to immigration can arise even when immigrants bring widespread economic benefits. The paper provides evidence that cultural differences between immigrants and natives were responsible, at least in part, for natives’ anti-immigration reactions.
