We use a shift-share approach to estimate the impact of inward immigration on local inflation in the United States. We find that a higher rate of immigration reduces inflation, lowering it by about 0.1 to 0.2 percentage points following a doubling of immigration. Higher immigration flows also lower local goods inflation, increase local housing and utilities inflation, and have no statistically significant impact on inflation in other services. Effects are approximately two and three time larger for working age and low-education immigrants. We do not detect a statistically significant impact of more educated immigrants on overall inflation, but they do increase local housing inflation. Our results can be jointly rationalized by a simple general equilibrium model where the substitutability of capital and labor varies across industries but capital is fixed in the short run.

Many factors contributed to the Protestant Reformation, but one of the most significant was the debate over the doctrine of justification by faith alone. In fact, Martin Luther argued that justification is the doctrine on which the church stands or falls. This comprehensive volume of 26 essays from a host of scholars explores the doctrine of justification from the lenses of history, the Bible, theology, and pastoral practice—revealing the enduring significance of this pillar of Protestant theology.

Marva Hasselblad, a twenty-five-year-old American nurse, daughter of a well-known missionary doctor, went to South Vietnam in 1962 not because of political or government affiliations, but in order to fulfill the dream of a lifetime - that of helping the sick and those in need. For three years and seven months, Marva was challenged constantly - as a nurse, as an American, and as a human being. She learned to speak the language of the people, to understand their customs, to take courage from their philosophic acceptance of life, and to cope with their superstitious fear of the dead. Here, against the background of the continuing struggle for life in a small hospital, she recreates the drama, the disillusionment, the tragedies, and the triumphs of an unforgettable experience.

Society's progression through the digital streaming age has created a music licensing landscape of grave concern to all stakeholders in the industry. These drastic changes have occurred under an outdated legal framework. This paper will recommend a comprehensive reform to our copyright law to uphold the intentions of copyright in the modern, digital age of today. By looking at the history of copyright and its evolution, one can assess how Congress has been tasked with establishing a fair market value for music by promoting the public interest and fairly compensating copyright owners. This will lead to an evaluation and comparison of those methods used to determine fair market value for creative works that will be the basis of the recommendation used to modernize copyright law. This recommendation will comprehensively provide for equitable treatment for all parties in the streaming age through its totality, additional reforms, and alternative ideas.
