摘要

我们利用人类历史上一个独特的事件，即越南船民逃往美国，为移民对贸易的因果效应提供证据。这段插曲代表了一个理想的自然实验，因为大规模的移民冲击发生在20年的时间里，在此期间，美国对越南实施了全面的贸易禁运。第一波移民冲击包括在美国各地外派的难民。在1994年解除贸易限制后，美国对越南的出口增长主要发生在越南人口较多的州，而这些州本身就是20年前大量难民流入的结果。

Migrant Networks and Trade: The Vietnamese Boat People as a Natural Experiment

We exploit a unique event in human history, the exodus of the Vietnamese Boat People to the US, to provide evidence for the causal pro-trade effect of migrants. This episode represents an ideal natural experiment as the large immigration shock, the first wave of which comprised refugees exogenously allocated across the US, occurred over a 20-year period during which time the US imposed a complete trade embargo on Vietnam. Following the lifting of trade restrictions in 1994, US exports to Vietnam grew most in US states with larger Vietnamese populations, themselves the result of larger refugee inflows 20 years earlier.
