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 business-cycle behavior of migration and its relation to monetary and fiscal policies
• (Internal) migration and its response to different economic shocks and policies
• The effect of immigration on prices and the housing market
• Fiscal and public finance implications of (im)migration
• The interplay between migration, foreign investment, and trade
• Post-pandemic migration (internal and international)
• Migration caused by climate change or conflict

The keynote speakers for the workshop are Abigail Wozniak (Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis) and Gordon Hanson (Harvard). We also have confirmation of participation from the following scholars: Rebecca Diamond (Stanford), Cecile Gaubert (UC Berkley), Gaurav Khanna (UC San Diego), Linda Tesar (University of Michigan).
