Abstract

Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic produced a significant decline in international immigration to the USA between 2020 and 2021. This paper documents the timing, characteristics, and heterogeneity of the change in immigration across states and economic sectors. Additionally, we describe the trends in internal native mobility in the USA prior to and after the pandemic, investigating whether natives responded to the decrease in immigration by relocating either geographically or across sectors. Despite the substantial drop in international migration, we do not observe any significant changes in native internal mobility. Employing a panel regression and a shift-share IV, we study the effect of foreign immigration, the emergence of remote-work, and changes in labor demand on cross-state native mobility. Our results indicate that the decline in immigration following COVID-19 and the differential availability of remote-work opportunities across sectors and states did not drive changes in natives’ cross- state or cross-sector mobility.

新冠肺炎疫情后美国国际移民和国内人口流动的变化

2019冠状病毒病大流行导致2020年至2021年美国国际移民大幅下降。本文记录了跨州和经济部门移民变化的时间、特征和异质性。此外，我们还描述了疫情前后美国国内人口流动的趋势，调查当地人是否通过地理上或跨部门的搬迁来应对移民减少。尽管国际移民大幅下降，但我们没有观察到国内人口流动有任何重大变化。采用面板回归和轮班份额IV，我们研究了外国移民、远程工作的出现和劳动力需求变化对跨州本地流动的影响。我们的研究结果表明，2019冠状病毒病后移民数量的下降，以及不同部门和州之间远程工作机会的差异，并没有推动当地人跨州或跨部门流动的变化。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Population Economics is an international quarterly that publishes original theoretical and applied research in all areas of population economics. Micro-level topics examine individual, household or family behavior, including household formation, marriage, divorce, fertility choices, education, labor supply, migration, health, risky behavior and aging. Macro-level investigations may address such issues as economic growth with exogenous or endogenous population evolution, population policy, savings and pensions, social security, housing, and health care. The journal also features research into economic approaches to human biology, the relationship between population dynamics and public choice, and the impact of population on the distribution of income and wealth. Lastly, readers will find papers dealing with policy issues and development problems that are relevant to population issues.The journal is published in collaboration with POP at UNU-MERIT, the Global Labor Organization (GLO) and the European Society for Population Economics (ESPE).Officially cited as: J Popul Econ Factor (RePEc): 13.576 (July 2018) Rank 69 of 2102 journals listed in RePEc
