We address this shortcoming by studying the effects of immigration to Brazil during the Age of Mass Migration on its agricultural sector in 1920. This context is informative of developing countries\u2019 experience because Brazil in this period was unique among major migrant destinations as a low-income country with a large agricultural sector and weak institutions. Instrumenting for a municipality\u2019s immigrant share using the interaction of aggregate immigrant inflows and the expansion of Brazil\u2019s railway network, we find that a greater immigrant share in a municipality led to an increase in farm values. We show that the bulk of the effect of immigration can be explained by more intense cultivation of land, which we attribute to temporary immigrants exerting greater labor effort than natives or permanent immigrants. Finally, we find that it is unlikely that immigration\u2019s effect on agriculture slowed Brazil\u2019s structural transformation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title: The Effects of Immigration in a Developing Country: Brazil in the Age of Mass Migration Date:\u00a0 22 November 2023 Time: 13:00-14:00 Location: NUBS.1.11 If&#8230; <br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/2023\/11\/08\/economics-research-community-seminar-dr-andrea-papadia\/\" rel=\"bookmark\"><strong>Read more<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11659,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[118,6],"tags":[168,215,74,210],"class_list":["post-15966","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-events","category-research","tag-economics","tag-events","tag-research-events","tag-research-seminar"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15966","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11659"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15966"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15966\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15967,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15966\/revisions\/15967"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15966"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15966"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15966"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
