The National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) released a working paper in July 2026 titled "Long-Run Effects H-1B Immigration on U.S. Economy." The paper examines the long‑term economic impacts of the H‑1B visa program on the United States labor market and overall economy. In 2026, NBER also scheduled several presentations: the 18th Annual Feldstein Lecture by Mark Duggan, a professor of economics at Stanford University, on social security reform in an era of fiscal deficits; a Methods Lecture by Melissa Dell of Harvard University and Ashesh Rambachan of MIT on estimation and inference using AI‑generated data; and a video by Paul Goldsmith‑Pinkham titled "Using AI in Household Finance Research: A Practical Guide," supported by the Vanguard Group.
