Minor typos in second edition

 

Thanks to some careful readers, we have found a few minor typos in the second edition of the Economics of Immigration. They are:

• Chapter 6, p 165: The relevant sentence is: "..., intergenerational mobility will be biased upwards in data from a single cross section." I think it should read:  "..., intergenerational mobility will be biased downwards in data from a single cross section." 
• Chapter 7, page 223, alpha in equation 8.2 should be sigma.

We will continue to update this list if other typos are identified. We welcome feedback from instructors and students on the second edition at any time.
