Prof. Vaaler's Research on Migrant Remittances and Entrepreneurship Profiled by Twin Cities Public Television

Professor Paul Vaaler's research on migrant remittances and entrepreneurship in developing countries was profiled in an article published by the "Rewire" group at Twin Cities Public Television. Rewire is a youth-oriented news and analysis content provider for TCPT. Vaaler was interviewed about his work documenting the impact of migrant remittances on venture capital funding availability, new business founding rates, and economic growth and openness in developing countries. Vaaler noted how his research was influenced by experience with recent migrants from Somalia and Liberia living in the Minneapolis neighborhood of Cedar-Riverside, next to the University of Minnesota Law School and Carlson School of Management.
