New in the American Economic Review: migration doesn't hollow out the home economy — it builds it up.
More than 75% of the long-run income gains from migration are domestic. The home economy itself grows.
Here's what we found: 🧵

With @jeromevalette.bsky.social & Jesús Fernández-Huertas Moraga, we are happy to announce the CfPapers for the
4th edition of the Junior Workshop on the Economics of Migration
on May 26-27, 2026 @uc3meconomics.bsky.social, Spain.
Submit until February 1, 2026 on economig2026.sciencesconf.org
I’m very happy to see our paper published in Political Geography. We show that your country of residence influences your waiting time for an appointment at a German diplomatic mission. These differences are substantial and far from random.
Zitat von Dr. Niklas Harder: Wartezeiten auf Termine an deutschen Auslandsvertretungen sind die erste Hürde auf dem Weg nach Deutschland. Unsere Untersuchung zeigt, dass das Herkunftsland entscheidet, wie hoch diese Hürde ist. Gute Migrationspolitik braucht Transparenz und gleiche Chancen für alle motivierten Einwanderer*innen, egal aus welchem Land. Hier bietet sich eine öffentlich zugängliche Plattform mit den aktuellen Wartezeiten an, etwa als Teil des Auslandsportals des Auswärtigen Amtes. Transparenz ist auch die Grundlage dafür, die Frage zu diskutieren, wie die unterschiedlichen Wartezeiten entstehen.
Langes Warten oder kein Termin – Globaler Süden wird im dt. #Visasystem deutlich benachteiligt. Das zeigt die Analyse von @deutschmann.bsky.social, @eui-eu.bsky.social, @niklas-harder.bsky.social & @alexandra-orlova.bsky.social @politicalgeography.bsky.social

Toller Artikel @zeitonline.bsky.social und sehr kompatibel mit unseren Analysen zu #TikTok #AFD und den #BTW25.
Interesting how there really isnt much variation across the major platforms.
uuh...I love it! We submit our paper in approx. 2 weeks. If something is citable by then, we make sure to include it.
I heard there are things based on "ANES" data in the US but I cant find a citable paper. Any help much appreciated.
Looking for studies that show memership composition in terms of "political idealogy/ party preferences" of large social media platforms. Any hints?
