In this week’s Immigration Nerds podcast, we sit down with a fellow “immigration nerd,” Dany Bahar. Mr. Bahar is a David M. Rubenstein Fellow in the Global Economy and Development program at the Brookings Institution, an Israeli and Venezuelan economist, and an associate at the Harvard Center for International Development. In this conversation, he shares his expertise in international economics and economic development, and in particular, how immigrants and immigrant communities can lift economies, increasing productivity, jobs and wage growth, and cross-cultural innovation.
