Institution:

Hobart William Smith Colleges

Subject:

Description:

The immigration issue is such a hot political topic that it is often hard to think about it analytically, but such an approach is essential if we are to adopt wise and appropriate policies. In this course we examine the international movement of people using the tools of economic analysis. We consider both the causes and the consequences of international migration, focusing on contemporary USA but using both historical experiences and those of other countries to help inform our understanding.
