The Vicious Circle of Xenophobia: Immigration and Right-Wing Populism  

This recent Working paper highlights the link between low-skill immigration that promotes right-wing populism, which in turn generates adverse skill-selection of immigrants. This creates a vicious circle between negative skill-selection of immigrants and right-wing populism. Structural trends and cyclical shocks such as internet expansion or demographic pressure from poor countries tend to make the vicious circle more likely.
