Talk:David Card

Untitled
Be very careful to remember that David Card is not politically active. He wrote me this in a letter about an earlier verion of the article, which said that he did (my fault, probably): Contrary to what you wrote, I do not advocate any position on immigration policy. If you read my book on minimum wages you would also find that I did not advocate any particular change there either. I do not take public stands on any policy issue and I do not sign petitions.

My research concerns the economic impacts of immigration on native labor market opportunities and I believe that it shows those effects are small. The NYT quote was in the context of the labor market effects of immigration, not on any overall assessment of the normative aspects of immigration.

Even if policy makers believed my research findings, they could legitimately oppose certain forms of immigration because they think that ethnically homogeneous countries function more efficiently, or because they oppose the admission of ethnic groups who will be subject to protected status under civil rights law, or because they believe that the US should have slower population growth, or for other reasons. Just keep this in mind. LittleDan talk 03:21, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Card and Krueger on Fast Food Industries of New Jersey and Pennsylvania
This stub article does not mention the Card - Krueger followup article in 1998. The 1993 article concluded: "Our empirical findings challenge the conventional notion that a rise in the minimum wage causes employment to decline..." However, the 1998 update concluded: "...This paper re-examines the effect of the 1992 New Jersey minimum wage increase on employment in the fast-food industry...(c)ontrolling for the systematic effects of the varying reporting intervals (in the EPI and BLS data), the combined EPI/Neumark-Wascher sample shows no difference in hours growth between New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The reassessment was likely done because of the strong reaction that followed the publication of the original paper.Danleywolfe (talk) 16:10, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

FALSE On immigration, Card's research has shown that the economic impact of new immigrants is minimal.
This sentence in the article is false and it omits any definition of economic impact, quantity of immigrants or quantitative definition of minimal. David Card actually presents a case that immigration has minimal impact but doesn't prove it. RichardBond (talk) 21:27, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
