David Card抯 research activities over the past year can be divided into several areas. In the immigration area, he completed a joint paper that compares the U.S. born adult children of immigrants in the mid-1990s with similar 搒econd generation?individuals in 1940 and 1970. He has also continued to work on the issue of labor market competition between immigrants and natives, and plans to write a paper on the mobility responses of native workers to immigrant inflows. In the education area, he examined the effects of the Canadian 揋.I. Bill??a college subsidy program that was offered to Canadian veterans after World War II. In a chapter in the forthcoming Handbook of Economics, Professor Card presents a review of recent research on the payoffs to education, and proposes a series of economic models that are useful in interpreting and synthesizing this research. Other areas of investigation include the responses of youth in Canada and the United States to changes in labor market conditions; the effects of the 1992 rise in the New Jersey minimum wage on employment in the fast food industry in the state; and changes in the unemployment insurance system on the duration of unemployment insurance claims.
