Chad’s initial research examined the macroeconomic costs and benefits of racial diversity, concentrating on the US experience. More recently, he has been studying the economic causes and consequences of immigration with a particular focus on how native-born workers respond to immigration through their occupational and internal migration decisions. His research on immigration has been published in The American Economic Journal: AppliedEconomics, The Review of Economics and Statistics, Industrial Relations, and The Journal of Urban Economics. It has also been discussed in the Economic Report to the President and cited in Newsweek.
