Any economists out there who might be interested in writing about choosing a childfree life? I'm editing an upcoming CSWEP newsletter on fertility choices and hoping to include this perspective. Shoot me a message if you might be my person!

New macroeconomic analysis from the Dallas Fed:

Mass deportation will reduce US GDP growth by 0.89 percentage points this year and 1.49 percentage points by 2027

It doesn't have to be this way. The choice isn't border chaos or vast militarized raids. The third option: lawful channels for migration
Declining immigration weighs on GDP growth, with little impact on inflation
Unauthorized immigration surged sharply in 2021–24 but has since declined abruptly with negative implications for economic growth.

As the Dallas Fed report shows, reducing #immigration will hurt the economy. We should continue to add workers to our labor force through immigration — it is a winning strategy to stabilize and expand our workforce, boost economic growth, and bolster American competitiveness.

See UF's PACE program -- add the students online for the first year or two, then they can transition to in-person if they are doing decently. Huge increase in capacity.
