  DÉMURGER Sylvie (IAO Lyon/ CNRS) : Migration and financial inclusion - Evidence from rural Chinese households

  Anna Jolivet (U. of Namur)

  Résumé

  This paper assesses the effect of rural-to-urban migration on sending households' financial practices and investigates the various mechanisms possibly driving this effect. China is an attractive case for this study as it combines massive internal migration flows with dramatic changes in financial services over the past 20 years. Using household-level data from rural China in 2018 and applying an instrumental variable approach, we show that the use of financial services by left-behind families is altered by migration. We specifically explore the access to formal savings, the use of digital payments and the types of debts that households take on. We further disaggregate our analysis to investigate any differential impact of migration across various types of households. As far as the mechanisms at stake are concerned, we examine the income effect of remittances on financial practices, as well as changes that may be driven by a transfer of practices and knowledge and/or by a shift in the decision-making power within the household

  GIUNTELLA Osea (U. Pittsburgh) : Ethnic churches, enclave neighborhoods and immigrant assimilation during the Age of Mass Migration

  Ran Abramitsky et Leah Boustan

  Résumé

  From 1850 to 1913, more than 30 million European immigrants moved to US. Many immigrants lived in segregated enclaves. Did living in immigrant enclaves slow economic and cultural assimilation? To examine this question, we explore variation in the building of ethnic Catholic churches across otherwise similar neighborhoods. We collect data on the universe of Catholic churches in 4 large cities–Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, New York. We merge with complete-count Census records for detailed information on local residents (1900-1930) and compare residents before and after a new church is constructed to similar neighborhoods using an event-study and a matched difference-in-differences approach. We find that the construction of a new Polish church anchors Polish residents to the neighborhood, slows their cultural assimilation, and reduces their economic assimilation. As a natural placebo, we show that the effects of a construction of a Polish church are not-significant when restricting the analysis to Polish Jews. We instead find little evidence of significant effects among Italians.

  SIGNORELLI Sara (University of Amsterdam) : Talent Flows and the Geography of Knowledge Production: Causal Evidence from Multinational Firms

  with D. Bahar, P. Choudhury, J. Sappenfield

  Résumé

  We investigate how reforms that ease or restrict inventor mobility affect both local and global innovation patterns. Leveraging a unique dataset that merges patent data with exhaustive information on work-related migration reforms that took place in 15 countries over 26 years, we employ a novel event-study approach. Our results show that reforms discouraging inventor mobility decrease the patenting of MNE subsidiaries within a country, while reforms encouraging it have a positive but much smaller effect. Building on the global nature of our exercise, we show that positive (negative) reforms adopted in the U.S. shifted innovation away from (toward) other countries, highlighting the existence of a global competition for talent. Finally, we provide evidence that policies easing migration have facilitated about half of the shift in the global share of innovation toward emerging markets.
