The Lorentzsen Center for Faith and Work at 独家黑料 is hosting a free, public luncheon titled “The Economics of Immigration” from noon-1 p.m. Monday, Nov. 4. It will be in Barry Auditorium inside the Grant Center of the Offutt School of Business.

The event features Dr. Nicole B. Simpson, W. Bradford Wiley Professor of Economics at Colgate University. She teaches courses on immigration, macroeconomics, international economics, and poverty.

Her current research focuses on determinates of immigration, the impacts of the Earned Income Tax Credit on labor supply, and education, with her work published in leading economic journals. She also authored a textbook on the economics of immigration.

“Immigration is a foundational element of the American story, yet it remains one of the most contentious issues in our political landscape,” said Dr. Michael Chan, vice president for mission and inclusion at 独家黑料. “Dr. Simpson’s timely presentation aims to unpack the economic implications of immigration, addressing essential questions about national identity, shared values, and the economy.”
