Our bivariate probit estimation results show that people influenced by status-quo bias or risk aversion tend to have significantly lower probability of supporting both immigration and import liberalization.Anti-immigration individuals tend to have pessimistic views of the national economy’s prospects and no personal acquaintance with foreigners. These findings suggest that wide-ranging measures are required for expanding support for immigration. In addition, we confirm the effects of standard variables, such as education and occupation.}, title = {Individual characteristics, behavioral biases, and attitudes toward immigration:Evidence from a survey in Japan}, year = {2018} }
