I read *a lot* of scientific abstracts that are missing key elements.

Here are the 5 things an abstract needs:

1. Introduce the topic,
2. State the unknown,
3. Outline the method used to answer the question,
4. Preview the findings, and
5. Tell us what your work teaches us.

We agree more than we think we do

Democrats and Republicans both think people in the other group disagree with them on immigration much more than they do

Migration response to an immigration shock: evidence from Russia’s aggression against Ukraine

Abstract This article examines the impact of the massive and unexpected inflow of Ukrainians that resulted from Russia’s aggression in 2014 on local migration patterns in Poland. For identification, I use an instrumental variable approach drawing on unique historical data on the forced resettlement of Ukrainians in Poland after World War II. The results show that the regional inflow of immigrants, while crowding out internal in-migration, decreases both internal and international out-migration of the local population. I provide supportive evidence that the decrease in out-migration is due to an enlargement of local labor markets.

Many of the world's best and brightest young people once came to study in the United States, fueling our global innovation powerhouse.

They now know that if they come, they can be seized by secret police off the street, at any moment—without charges, trial, or appeal, with absolute discretion.

Marco Rubio on Rumeysa Ozturk: "We revoked her visa ... once you've lost your visa, you're no longer legally in the United States ... if you come into the US as a visitor and create a ruckus for us, we don't want it. We don't want it in our country. Go back and do it in your country."
