Overview

Immigration policy is one of the most consequential issues that both the United States and the world need to address in coming years. The J-P Conte Initiative on Immigration fosters cutting-edge research and facilitates informed academic and policy debates on the economic effects of immigration. 

Immigration intersects with critical challenges such as demographic shifts, climate-induced displacement, and conflict-driven migration. The complexity of this topic stems from its multifaceted nature: while immigrants make substantial economic contributions as workers, entrepreneurs, and innovators, the distributional impacts and unintended consequences of various migration patterns are not fully understood. These nuances have significant implications for policy formation.

With the establishment of the J-P Conte Initiative on Immigration, the Hoover Institution demonstrates its commitment to bringing together diverse perspectives, conducting rigorous analysis, and supporting ongoing research and dialogue on immigration's role in our evolving global economy.

The J-P Conte Initiative on Immigration is part of the Hoover Institution Prosperity Program, which investigates the institutions that foster economic prosperity.
