安全问题是否会导致更严格的移民政策？在本文中，我们认为跨国影响可以影响国内移民立法的结果。邻国发生的恐怖袭击会影响焦点国家安全问题的突出程度、解决这些问题的政策解决方案以及实施这些变革的政治意愿。在靠近恐怖主义目标的国家，政客们有特定的动机在公众舆论的压力下、出于政治机会主义或预期邻国的政策选择而操纵移民法规。利用 33 个经合组织国家的数据，我们发现，距离目标国家越近，移民政策制度就越严格。因此，公众对移民与恐怖主义之间联系的普遍看法具有重要的政策后果。
Do security concerns lead to more restrictive immigration policies? In this article, we contend that transnational influences can shape legislative output on immigration at home. Terrorist attacks in a neighboring country affect the salience of security concerns in the focal state, the policy solutions for addressing them, and the political will to implement these changes. In proximity of countries targeted by terrorism, politicians have specific incentives to manipulate immigration regulations following pressure from public opinion, for political opportunism or in anticipation of their neighbors' policy choices. Using data on 33 OECD countries, we find that proximity to targeted countries leads to the implementation of a more restrictive migration policy regime. The public's common perception of a linkage between migration and terrorism thus has important policy consequences.
