@benjaminhelms.bsky.social and I published a paper in 2022 showing that TPS, because it increases remittances, actually decreases subsequent unauthorized migration.

Congratulations, Noah! Incredible news!

Me too. And thanks for the invitation, I would love to come back and give a talk anytime!

Thanks so much! You may remember me as one of your students, many years ago now!

This paper was very much an interdisciplinary effort - combining insights from consumer psychology and international relations. We hope that it provides a novel empirical finding that helps us better understand the microfoundations of IR.

We use supermarket scanner data to explore how ordinary people react to external threats in IR. We find that local casualties during the Iraq War caused increased market share for products perceived as more "American," suggesting the embrace of national identity in the face of external threat.

This piece builds on research by David and I showing that temporary protection for migrants, when it allows labor market access, can increase remittances and decrease the demand for subsequent migration. Read more here: doi.org/10.1093/isq/...
