我们测试亚利桑那州的2007年法律的亚利桑那州工人法案（LAWA）的影响，该州的人口比例的特点是非公民西班牙裔。我们使用的综合控制方法来选择一组状态对亚利桑那州的人口趋势可以进行比较。我们记录了亚利桑那州西班牙裔非公民人口比例的显着和统计学显着减少。观察到的下降与LAWA实施的时间相匹配，偏离了合成对照组的时间序列，并且相对于全国其他州的安慰剂估计值的分布突出。
We test for an effect of Arizona's 2007 Legal Arizona Workers Act (LAWA) on the proportion of the state's population characterized as noncitizen Hispanic. We use the synthetic control method to select a group of states against which Arizona's population trends can be compared. We document a notable and statistically significant reduction in the proportion of the Hispanic noncitizen population in Arizona. The decline observed matches the timing of LAWA's implementation, deviates from the time series for the synthetic control group, and stands out relative to the distribution of placebo estimates for other states in the nation.
