This paper provides direct evidence of the importance of firm attention to macroeconomic dynamics. We construct a text-based measure of firm attention to macroeconomic news and document firm attention that is polarized and countercyclical. Differences in attention lead to asymmetric responses to...

We revisit the old question of how immigration affects the welfare of native workers. As opposed to most of the previous literature, we look at this question through the lens of firms, as they play a crucial role in immigration and are massively heterogeneous even within sectors. We use a novel...
