We study the consequence of political polarization along educational lines in the United States. Descriptively, we show that college graduates are now well to the left of non-college voters on economic and social issues and much more so than 15 years ago. We then estimate the causal effect of a Republican governor on college graduates’ inter-state migration rates, finding that conservative governance substantially reduces the inflow of college-educated workers. Finally, we analyze a structural model of migration that quantifies the implications of plausible changes in political control for cross-state spillovers and college/non-college earnings inequality.
