For the last seven months straight, the U.S. government has refused to process immigrant visas for nationals of 75 countries around the world; including visas for spouses of U.S. citizens. Today, a federal judge ruled the policy flagrantly illegal.
Map of the world, with the 75 countries impacted highlighted in yellow. They include countries in South America like Brazil and Venezuela, about half of all African countries, and most Middle Eastern countries.

What explains the dramatic rise and fall of corporate commitments to DEI? In a new paper, co-authored with @nolanmc.bsky.social, we analyze the text of 1,694,664 securities disclosures for 15,105 publicly traded companies to understand the political forces behind these developments.
We analyze the text of 1,694,664 securities disclosures for 15,105 publicly traded companies to understand the political forces behind the rise and fall of corporate commitments to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the United States. Starting with the rise, we find that the ideological composition of corporate leadership was a strong and persistent predictor of DEI commitments, which we argue reflects a plausible causal relationship. Ownership by the "Big Three" asset managers was also associated with corporate DEI commitments, both within and across firms, during the era when these investors vocally supported DEI. Presidential politics appears to have contributed to the fall: federal contractors pulled back more in 2025, consistent with the new administration targeting contractor DEI programs. However, the retreat was broad, suggesting the importance of larger political, legal, and social forces. Our results underscore the importance of corporate governance for the study of political economy.

Immigration : un « grand brassage » mais des inégalités persistantes
La deuxième édition de la grande enquête sociologique « Trajectoires et origines », pilotée par l’Institut national d’études démographiques, montre une convergence rapide des pratiques culturelles et sociales des immigrés et de leurs descendants. Mais les difficultés d’accès au travail et au logement confirment l’expérience de discriminations systémiques et du racisme.
