Abstract

Over the 1990s, the share of foreigners entering the US high-skill workforce grew rapidly. This migration potentially had a significant effect on US workers, consumers and firms. To study these effects, we construct a general equilibrium model of the US economy and calibrate it using data from 1994 to 2001. Built into the model are positive effects high skilled immigrants have on innovation. Counterfactual simulations based on our model suggest that immigration increased the overall welfare of US natives, and had significant distributional consequences. In the absence of immigration, wages for US computer scientists would have been 2.6% to 5.1% higher and employment in computer science for US workers would have been 6.1% to 10.8% higher in 2001. On the other hand, complements in production benefited substantially from immigration, and immigration also lowered prices and raised the output of IT goods by between 1.9% and 2.5%, thus benefiting consumers. Finally, firms in the IT sector also earned substantially higher profits due to immigration.

Abstract

We characterize what features make supply chains more resilient. Using new data on the universe of firm-to-firm transactions from an Indian state, we identify firms with larger supplier risk following the Covid-19 lockdowns. Using an event-study design we find firms with suppliers in strict-lockdown districts experienced 4.5pp higher separation rates (a 15% increase relative to baseline). We study which characteristics increase supply-chain resilience. Firms that buy more complex products, with fewer available suppliers, are less likely to break links. We explore how firms change post-shock supplier composition. Firms with higher supplier risk form new links with larger and better-connected suppliers.

Abstract

We characterize how firms structure supply chains under climate risk. Using new data on the universe of firm-to-firm transactions from an Indian state, we show that firms diversify sourcing locations, and that suppliers exposed to climate risk charge lower prices. Our event-study analysis shows firms with suppliers in flood-affected districts experience a temporary decline in inputs, followed by a return to original levels. We develop a general equilibrium spatial model of firm input sourcing under climate risk. Firms diversify identical inputs from suppliers across space, trading off the probability of a climate disruption against higher input costs. We quantify the model using data on 271 Indian regions, showing real wages vary across space and are correlated with geography and productivity. Wages are inversely correlated with sourcing risk, giving rise to a cost minimization-resilience tradeoff. Supply chain diversification unambiguously reduces real wage volatility, but ambiguously affects their levels, as diversification may come with higher input costs. While diversification helps mitigate climate risk, it exacerbates the distributional effects of climate change by reducing wages in regions prone to more frequent shocks.

Abstract

À l’image de la mosaïque qui lui donne son titre, cet ouvrage assemble les éléments d’un motif laissant à l’espace méditerranéen une place centrale. Combinant les approches, entrecroisant trajectoires individuelles et destins collectifs, il donne à voir le rôle structurant des villes dans la façon de concevoir et représenter l’espace, témoigne des réussites et des échecs du vivre ensemble. Dans une perspective d’anthropologie historique, il interroge la question de la souffrance des corps au travail et des corps asociaux. Il joue enfin sur les échelles de la mémoire, questionnant l’action des institutions et des hommes comme passeurs de culture, mettant en évidence l’importance du phénomène de la circulation au sein d’un espace marqué par un incessant va-et-vient de civilisations dont l’extrême enchevêtrement a fini par donner naissance à une certaine forme d’homogénéité.
