We study the effects of H-1B immigration on U.S. industries that employ H-1B workers and their trading partners. Using a novel cross-industry design and the 1999–2003 expansion of the H-1B visa cap for identification, we find that H-1B exposure raised incomes for natives and pre-existing immigrants, with gains concentrated in non-STEM occupations. Income gains propagate forward through supply chains to downstream industries but not backward to upstream industries, consistent with a productivity shock rather than a labor supply shock. We find no direct effect on patenting, suggesting that productivity gains arise from better task execution rather than patentable invention. That…

The next Peter Thiel moment is here… AI’s price crash is rewriting the rules… tracking the usage/price “escalator”… a “real world” stock list that benefits from the AI takeover In 1977, a semi-retired chip executive named Mike Markkula met two kids running a computer company out of a garage. He liked what he saw enough to write a $250,000 check – cash and a loan guarantee combined – for a one-third stake in the business. That company eventually became Apple (AAPL).

Listen to the audio version of this article (generated by AI). Going into last week, semiconductor stocks were already suffering their worst monthly rout since 2008. There was no single cause for the bearish turn. Wall Street grew anxious about how quickly Big Tech could turn massive AI investments into profits.
