Abstract

This article studies the effect of social sentiment on spouse-based immigration in the US using data on 27 origin countries from 1996 to 2013. We find that the number of immigrant spouses from a foreign country to the US is directly correlated with this country's popularity among Americans. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
