TY - RPRT AU - Mayda, Anna Maria TI - Why Are People More Pro-Trade than Pro-Migration? PY - 2007/Jun/ PB - Institute of Labor Economics (IZA) CY - Bonn T2 - IZA Discussion Paper IS - 2855 UR - https://www.iza.org/publications/dp2855 AB - 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.
