  • Populism and Civil Society

    Open AccessTito Boeri, Prachi Mishra et al.ARTICLEEconomica2021References: 22

    Since Tocqueville (1835), civil society has been recognized as a cornerstone of liberal democracy. But populists claim to be the only legitimate representatives of the people, leaving no space for civil society. Are populism and civil society enemies? To answer this question, we look at voters’ choices in Europe. We find that individuals belonging to associations are less likely by 1.6–2.8 percentage points to vote for populist parties, which is …

  • Genetic distance, transportation costs, and trade1

After controlling for geography, the impact of genetic distance on tr…

  • Democracy and Foreign Education

    Antonio SpilimbergoARTICLEAmerican Economic Review2009

    Despite the large amount of private and public resources spent on foreign education, there is no systematic evidence that foreign-educated individuals foster democracy in their home countries.

The results are robust to severa…

  • Does Border Enforcement Protect U.S. Workers from Illegal Immigration

    Gordon H Hanson, Gordon Hanson et al.ARTICLEThe Review of Economics and…2002

    In this paper, we examine the impact of enforcement of the U.S.-Mexico border on wages in U.S. and Mexican border regions. The U.S. Border Patrol polices U.S. boundaries, seeking to apprehend any undocumented entrants. It concentrates its efforts on the Mexican border. We examine labor markets in border areas of California, Texas, and Mexico. For each region, we have high-frequency data on wages and person-hours the U.S. Border Patrol spends poli…
