No federal agency counts the Americans who leave; there has been no federal census of Americans abroad since 1976. The American Emigration Revue, which Daniel founded and edits, was built on the alternative: if the American state won’t count its emigrants, ask the receiving states. AER is an independent research publication — original reporting, a weekly brief, and a continuously updated dataset spanning 99 countries, built by a network of country researchers working in 21 languages, with a Data Transparency Index scoring how openly each country reports its American population. All of it lives on the Revue’s own site — americanemigration.com.
Using Brazil’s Diário Oficial da União, MigranteWeb filings and the CNPJ corporate registry, Daniel tracks the real-world uptake of Brazil’s investor residency pathways — research grounded in a process he completed himself as a startup investor. His analysis of 2025 found that 512 investors chose Brazil that year, and almost none used the most favorable pathway. The dataset behind it continues at StartBrazil.
Daniel’s first research subject was the movement he was part of. Drawing on Luxembourg’s open government data and LuxCitizenship’s anonymized case files, The LuxCitizenship Study mapped the country’s new dual citizens across the Americas over four editions through 2024 — work profiled by the Luxembourg government’s open-data portal and held in the catalogue of the Centre de Documentation sur les Migrations Humaines in Dudelange.
