2023-11-23
Joan Llull (IAE-CSIC and BSE) has been awarded an ERC Consolidator Grant for his project "Optimal Immigration Policy". The project seeks to design optimal immigration policies that maximize benefits from immigration for both origin and destination countries and compensate negatively affected individuals for their losses. By exploring five key policy instruments and employing a sophisticated dynamic equilibrium framework, the project will provide policymakers with valuable insights to leverage the positive impacts of migration while minimizing potential drawbacks.

A project co-authored by Jordi Brandts has been selected in La Caixa's call for experimental research in the social sciences
2021-05-28
The "social observatory" of La Caixa Support has published an article co-authored by Jordi Brandts (IAE-CSIC and BSE) that studies the question whether providing scientific evidence helps to dispel widespread unfounded beliefs held by the general public. Specifically, the study focuses on rent capping whose support is very widespread because it is thought that it will enable more people to gain access to housing. However, most academic studies show that the measure does not have the desired impact. Using an experiment, the authors show that providing the public with written scientific arguments about the real effects of the measure leads to a remarkable reduction in the belief.
