The Office of Latino/Latin American Studies (OLLAS) and the College of Business Administration (CBA) at the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) have teamed up to conduct research and produce a report on the economic impact of immigration on the urban and rural economies of Nebraska. Christopher Decker, associate professor of economics, has been named Mammel Faculty in Residence with OLLAS and principal investigator for the project. Jerry Deichert, director of UNO’s Center of Public Affairs Research, will assist the project with census-based data.
