Immigration, public opinion and the recession in Europe (2016, background): “Using data for a number of countries Facchini and Mayda (2009, 2012) find that, controlling for education, immigration opinion is negatively related to income, reflecting the dominance of concerns about the tax implications of welfare dependency.”
