The high geographic mobility of foreign-born adults can facilitate adjustment to local economic shocks. However, the US regions whose industries faced the China import shock in the 90s/00s had few immigrants, and mobility of the foreign-born hence did little to buffer the shock.
How do US immigrant workers respond to manufacturing job loss? @davidautor, @ProfDavidDorn & @gordon_h_hanson find that immigration helps to adjust to cyclical shocks in which job loss follows recent hiring booms. doi.org/10.1177/001979…
