Call for Papers

 

The Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, Banco de Mexico, Bank of Canada, the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, the Economics Department at ITAM and the Global Migration Center at the University of California Davis would like to invite you to submit a paper to the fourth edition of the workshop on the Macroeconomic Implications of Migration that will take place at the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, on September 19-20, 2025. The conference will be in person over one day and a half, with a remote option to participate. 

The goal of the workshop is to promote discussion and dissemination of innovative theoretical and empirical research on the macroeconomic implications of migration. The organizing committee invites research submissions on topics related (but not limited) to:

  • The labor market impacts of (im)migration, their effects on firms, productivity, and innovation. 
  • The business-cycle behavior and consequences of (im)migration, its response to different economic shocks, and its relation to (monetary and fiscal) policies. 
  • The role of remittances in migrant-sending and receiving countries, and the patterns and effects of return migration on both origin and destination countries.
  • The effect of immigration on housing markets, prices, and inflation.
  • The interplay between migration, foreign investment, and international trade. 
  • The design, implementation, and effects of family migration policies.
  • International or internal post-pandemic migration.
  • The dynamics and consequences of migration resulting from extreme weather events or conflict.

The keynote speakers for the workshop are Brian Kovak (Carnegie Mellon University) and Thomas Chaney (USC). 

Relevant dates: 

The deadline for submission is April 30th, 2025. Please upload your information and the submissions here. Submissions should include either a full paper or an extended abstract with the main results. Authors of accepted papers will be notified by May 31st.
