Migration, Climate Change, and Human Adaptation

Mexico-U.S. migration flow is the largest sustained movement of people between any two nations. Existing work focuses on income differentials between the two countries as the main reason underlying migration. Garip and Chau's work shows climate change, bilateral trade, and border enforcement policies to be critical – and underappreciated – factors in guiding people’s movements.

Presenters:
Filiz Garip, Professor of Sociology
Nancy Chau, Professor, Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management
