Abstract
⺠We construct a dataset on lobbying expenditures to influence migration policy. ⺠We find that lobbying affects the allocation of work visas across sectors. ⺠More visas are allocated to sectors in which business interest groups lobby more. ⺠Less visas are allocated to sectors where labor unions are more important.
