Project Description

Summary:  View help for Summary This paper evidenced sensitivity of US immigration judge decisions to temperature in the city of arbitration on date of adjudication. This note serves to correct errors noted since publication. Main results from both the main linear specifications are qualitatively unchanged, with estimated treatment effects similar in size to the original and retaining statistical significance at conventional levels. Some secondary results lose significance with erosion of sample size. We also acknowledge the additional finding by Spamann (2020) with respect to external validity.
