Immigration, diversity and institutions

Immigration and product diversity

We study the effects of immigration on the diversity of consumption choices. Data from California in the 1990s indicate that immigration is associated with fewer stand-alone retail stores and a greater number of large and in particular big-box retailers—evidence that likely contradicts a diversityenhancing effect of immigration. In contrast, focusing on the restaurant sector for which we can be...

Social Complexity of Immigration and Diversity

National Security and Immigration

This paper considers the relationship between economic factors and national security. While considering a broad number of issue areas, the principal theme of the course is the way in which economic factors (as immigration) fundamentally influence the national security of the region, and the way in which those factors shape and constrain the strategies chosen to pursue that security. South-South...

Origination and Immigration Drive Latitudinal Gradients in Marine Functional Diversity

Global patterns in the functional attributes of organisms are critical to understanding biodiversity trends and predicting biotic responses to environmental change. In the first global marine analysis, we find a strong decrease in functional richness, but a strong increase in functional evenness, with increasing latitude using intertidal-to-outer-shelf bivalves as a model system (N = 5571 speci...
