%0 Report %A Mayda, Anna Maria %T Why Are People More Pro-Trade than Pro-Migration? %D 2007 %8 2007 Jun %I Institute of Labor Economics (IZA) %C Bonn %7 IZA Discussion Paper %N 2855 %U https://www.iza.org/index.php/publications/dp2855 %X I analyze individual attitudes towards trade and immigration in comparative terms. I find that individuals are on average more pro-trade than pro-immigration across several countries. I identify a key source of this difference: the cleavage in trade preferences, absent in immigration attitudes, between individuals working in traded as opposed to non-traded sectors. %K trade attitudes %K immigration attitudes %K political economy
