Professor John Winters published an article in the most recent issue of Economic Development Quarterly. Winters co-authored the article "Too Cold to Venture There? January Temperature and Immigrant Self-Employment Across the United States" with Jun Yeong Lee of Pusan National University. The article examines the percentage of immigrant workers in local areas who are self-employed, and finds that areas with colder winter temperatures have especially low self-employment rates among their immigrant populations compared to warmer areas.
