What happened when the U.S. forcibly sent 400,000 Mexican workers back to Mexico in the 1930s?

The employment rate of native workers *went down* noticeably as a direct result. (You read that correctly)

Why?

Forced repatriation destroyed low-skill markets.

We analyze data on over 1,600 pastors -looking at their education and job histories- to map out social ties between cities.

Cities connected by a pastor were 46–63% more likely to have protests in a given week.

This highlights how local leaders and their networks can enable collective action.

How do social movements spread under authoritarian regimes?

We have a new short paper that examines the 1989 East German revolution. We show that networks of Protestant pastors which were key local leaders facilitated the spatial diffusion of protests.

Austrian politicians should (have) read:
