Project Description

View help for Summary
This paper examines the self-employment effects of Secure
Communities, a major internal immigration enforcement program in the US. Using
data from the American Community Survey and a difference-in-differences
methodology, we find that Secure Communities had a negative impact on the
likelihood of self-employment in the United States. While the policy did not
substantially lower the self-employment rates in the country, it had a clear
detrimental impact on the incomes of the self-employed, particularly of the
self-employed whites.
