The US Administration is poised to announce a new $100,000 tax on international students who work even briefly after graduation. This is not the H-1B tax, it's new and additional. Today @iza.org released my new estimates of the economic effects of that tax —>

Cutting OPT access reduces int'l enrollment, as @kevinshih.bsky.social & Amuedo-Dorantes show, because the option to work in the US makes US degrees more attractive—> doi.org/10.1257/pand... So the OPT tax will cost universities billions in int'l tuition revenue, beyond the direct cost of the tax.

Immigrants make the US more innovative, in large part by making native-born Americans more innovative. "Immigrants are responsible for 32% of aggregate innovation, over half of which is due to human capital externalities on US-born collaborators."

A new $103,265 H-1B filing fee is effectively a tax on high-skill immigration. The incidence of such a tax has been unclear—until now. @mclem.org estimates potentially billions in losses, much of which hits the higher education sector. Paper here: buff.ly/JBzQS5G

Census projects on gender identity/"DEI" topics are being paused... It's absurd (repressive) to halt ALREADY IN PROGRESS academic research on topics you dislike. The data we share with Census is OUR data. We deserve to learn as much as we can (as responsibly as we can) from it.
