Trade Liberalization and Chinese Students in U.S. Higher Education
We highlight a lesser-known consequence of China’s integration into the world economy: the rise of services trade. We demonstrate how the United States’ trade deficit in goods cycles back as a surplus in U.S. exports of education services. Focusing on China’s accession to the World Trade Organization, we show that Chinese cities more exposed to trade liberalization sent more students to U.S. universities. Growth in housing income and wealth allow…
Experienced Racism Among Asian American Adolescents and Emerging Adults Amid the Covid ‐19 Pandemic: A Systematic Review From the Perspective of Asian Critical Theory
Asian Critical Theory highlights the tenet of intersectionality and four other tenets (i.e., Asianization, [re]constructive history, strategic [anti]essentialism, and commitment to social justice) that are relevant to Asian American (AA) youths' (adolescents' and emerging adults') experiences of racism during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Based on 22 studies published between March 2020 and November 2024, this review utilizes these tenets as a framework…
Coping with H-1B Shortages: Firm Performance and Mitigation Strategies
The H-1B visa program allows companies to hire skilled foreign workers. Before 2014, the vast majority of these visas were allocated on a first-come-first-served basis. Since then, the program has been severely oversubscribed and all cap-subject visas have been allocated through lotteries. The authors merged Compustat data with administrative firm-level data on the universe of approved petitions for H-1B visas. Using difference-in-differences and…

Impacts of the Model Minority Myth on Asian American Individuals and Families: Social Justice and Critical Race Feminist Perspectives
Asian Americans have been portrayed as the model minority for seemingly having achieved socioeconomic success and being free of problems. Such stereotypes may have lasting and negative impact on Asian American individuals, families, and communities. Utilizing the social justice framework and critical race feminist theory, we interrogate and problematize the model minority stereotype and its impacts by situating Asian Americans in the Black‐and‐Wh…

The majority of our respondents highlighted instrumental aspects of their parents' parenting which includes different ways that their parents provide instrumental tools for their well-…
STEM Workers, H-1B Visas, and Productivity in US Cities
Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workers are fundamental inputs for innovation, the main driver of productivity growth. We identify the long-run effect of STEM employment growth on outcomes for native workers across 219 US cities from 1990 to 2010. We use the 1980 distribution of foreign-born STEM workers and variation in the H-1B visa program to identify supply-driven STEM increases across cities. Increases in STEM worker…
Family Diversity
Beginning in the middle of the twentieth century, the Standard North American Family (SNAF) emerged as the “benchmark” family type in the United States, and has been pervasive since (Coontz, 2011). Many changes in the social context, during this period following World War II, influenced the development of SNAF and supported a set of values and beliefs that created and privileged the two biological parent – male breadwinner, female homemaker – fam…
