Immigration, Ethnic Diversity, and Political Outcomes: Evidence from Denmark (2018, background): “…examining attitudes towards immigration and how these are shaped by existing immigration flows (see, e.g., Citrin et al., 1997; Scheve and Slaughter, 2001; O’Rourke and Sinnott, 2006; Dustmann and Preston, 2006, 2007; Hainmueller and Hiscox, 2007, 2010; Facchini and Mayda, 2009; Card et al., 2012).”
Economic Explanations for Opposition to Immigration: Distinguishing between Prevalence and Conditional Impact (2013, background): “…Mayda 2006; Scheve and Slaughter 2001), other studies either cast doubt on the interpretation of the evidence used to confirm the LMC hypothesis (Hainmueller and Hiscox 2007, 2010) or present evidence showing only a weak relationship between attitudes on immigration and labor-market threat (or…”
Public attitudes towards support for migrants: the importance of perceived voluntary and involuntary migration (2018, background): “…attitudes are (in part) group-specific and depend, for example, on immigrants’ cultural similarity (Ford 2011), level of educational and work skills (Hainmueller and Hiscox 2007, 2010; Helbling and Kriesi 2014), language and skin tone (Hopkins 2015), national origin (Fasel, Green, and Sarrasin…”
Experimental designs for identifying causal mechanisms (2013, methodology): “While Hainmueller and Hiscox (2010) are unable to directly test this mechanism, a modification of their original experimental design may permit this.”
Comparing Immigration Policies: An Overview from the IMPALA Database 1 (2016, background): “Others emphasize the role of ethnic tolerance or cosmopolitanism (Espenshade and Calhoun 1993; Citrin et al. 1997; McLaren 2001; Hainmueller and Hiscox 2010).”
Causal Inference in Conjoint Analysis: Understanding Multidimensional Choices via Stated Preference Experiments (2013, background): “For example, Hainmueller and Hiscox (2010) report a survey experiment in which respondents were asked whether the United States should admit more low- or high-skilled immigrants.”
Political Psychology in International Relations: Beyond the Paradigms (2018, background): “…studied leaders dispositionally 5For applications of ethnocentrism to the origins of trade and immigration preferences, the reader is referred to, e.g., Mansfield & Mutz (2009) and Hainmueller & Hiscox (2010). www.annualreviews.org • Political Psychology in International Relations 327 A nn u.”
Do concerns about labor market competition shape attitudes toward immigration? New evidence☆ (2015, neutral): “22 U.S. immigration law, for example, de ﬁ nes categories of immigrants (and temporary foreign visitors) according to the general purpose for their entry and the associated eligibility requirements.”
Immigration, public opinion and the recession in Europe (2016, background): “Hainmueller and Hiscox (2007, 2010) argue that labour market competition is not a convincing explanation of the education effect because high-skilled and low-skilled natives exhibit equally negative opinions about low-skilled immigration.”
Attitudes Toward Immigration: The Role of Personal Predispositions (2016, background): “In line with Hainmueller and Hiscox (2010), we argue that the skill level of immigrants primarily taps economic threat to the national economy insofar as the response to immigrants with different skills is independent of the skill level of natives, which is indeed what our results show.8 This…”
