Economics 335 - Economics of Immigration

This course covers the economic theory, history, and policy of immigration. The standard labor market model of immigration is detailed, as are more dynamic and inter-disciplinary alternatives. The models are used to analyze immigration flows and policies in the United States, Canada, and the European Union over the past two centuries as well as contemporary immigration issues. At the end of the course, students are challenged to develop suggestions for contemporary immigration policy.
