We are pleased to invite you to a Lunch seminar on "Migration policy backlash, identity and integration of second generation migrants in France" .

Abstract

Joint work with with T. Baudin and Y. Govind

We exploit exogenous variation associated with the introduction of “Loi Pasqua” (from the French Minister of Interiors at that time), that introduces a restriction to Ius Soli for second generation migrants in France between 1993 and 1998 (when the law was abrogated by a newly elected Socialist government). We use French survey “Trajectoires et Origins” to investigate the effect of legal exposure to Pasqua Loi on the perceived national identity or discrimination of second generation migrants who had to comply to become French citizens. Preliminary findings suggest that exposure to policy backlash associated with Pasqua Law affects patterns of economic and social integration of these second generation migrants.

Simone Moriconi is Professor of Economics at IÉSEG School of Management (LEM CNRS-9221), Director of the Research Center on Family Labor and Migration Economics (IFLAME) and Research Affiliate at CESifo, and Institut Convergences Migrations. Simone is an applied microeconomist with a research background encompassing public, labor, and international economics. Simone's research explores the interplay between policies and migration outcomes in host countries. His recent work focuses on understanding how migration shapes labor supply in destination countries, especially through cultural factors within the family, such as task allocation in parenting. Additionally, Simone has developed a keen interest in economic history and the analysis of historical data, particularly for examining long-term returns on significant outcomes like education and family migration decisions.

The event is supported by the Luxembourg National Research Fund (FNR) 17931929
