Neighborhoods, Perceived Immigration, and Preferences for Redistribution: Evidence from Barcelona

Abstract

I use registry data and an original survey recording exact addresses to study the effects of neighborhood immigration on perceptions and preferences for redistribution in Barcelona. Exposure to European or American migrants is associated with lower perceived immigration and more redistribution demand. The opposite is true for Asian or African migrants. Quasi-random variation in exposure to new immigrant inflows in the neighborhood largely confirms descriptive results and suggests that sizeable inflows increase the support for anti-immigration parties. Differences inincome, language, and skin tone between immigrants and natives are mechanisms at play. This work highlights new implications of racial segregation.
