    The firms who do not win the visa lottery “just become smaller firms” instead of hiring market-rate labor because they still have to compete in a market against other firms who won the visa lottery and have access to below-market-rate labor.

    Did the economists who ran this study miss this? Do they explain it?

      AEA leans strongly left. I wouldn't put much store in this.
