Professor Giovanni Peri's research with Professor Gianmarco Ottaviano (University of Bologna) was recently featured in a The Economist article. The article discussed how economic migrants are seen as a threat to jobs and the welfare state. In contrast, Professors Peri and Ottaviano's research find that for workers with at least a high-school qualification, the wage effects of low-skill immigration are actually positive if certain assumptions are dropped.
