Using new data on emigration rates by education level, we examine the impact of brain drain migration human capital formation in developing countries. We find evidence a positive effect skilled prospects gross cross-section 127 For each country sample then estimate net using counterfactual simulations. Countries combining relatively low levels and are shown to experience ‘beneficial drain’, conversely, there more losers than winners, former tend lose what latter gain.
This paper reviews four decades of economics research on the brain drain, with a focus recent contributions and development issues. We first assess magnitude, intensity, determinants showing that drain (or high-skill) migration is becoming dominant pattern international major aspect globalization. then use stylized growth model to analyze various channels through which affects sending countries review evidence these channels. The empirical literature shows high-skill emigration need not...
This paper examines the role of migration networks in determining self-selection patterns Mexico-U.S. migration. A simple theoretical framework shows impact on incentives at different education levels and how this affects composition migrant skills. Empirically, we find positive or education-neutral selection communities with weak but negative stronger networks. is consistent high costs driving intermediate self-selection, as advocated by Chiquiar Hanson (2005), being driven lower returns to...
Two of the most salient trends in migration and development over last two decades are large rise remittances flow skilled migrants. However, recent literature based on cross-country regressions has claimed that more educated migrants remit less, leading to concerns further increases will impede remittance growth. Microdata from surveys immigrants 11 major destination countries used revisit relationship between education remitting behavior. The data show a mixed pattern likelihood remitting,...
The diffusion of tacit knowledge involves direct human interactions. This implies that the international should follow pattern migration. We test this idea using cross‐country productivity spillovers leading to new exports as proxy for diffusion. find a 10% increase in immigration from exporters given product is associated with 2% likelihood host country starts exporting good ‘from scratch’ next decade. results appear stronger highly‐skilled migrants, qualitatively similar emigrants and...
This chapter reviews the recent theoretical and empirical economic literature on migrants' remittances. It is divided between a microeconomic section determinants of remittances macroeconomic their growth effects. At micro level we first present in fully harmonized framework various motivations to remit described so far literature. We show that models based different motives share many common predictions, making it difficult implement truly discriminative tests absence sufficiently detailed...

This chapter focuses on the effects of skilled migration developing countries. We first present new evidence magnitude brain drain at international level. Using a stylized model education investment in context migration, we then survey theoretical and empirical literature unified framework.

Migration contributes to the circulation of goods, knowledge, and ideas. Using community individual-level data from Moldova, we show that emigration wave started in aftermath Russian crisis 1998 strongly affected electoral outcomes political preferences Moldova during following decade, eventually contributing fall last Communist government Europe. Our results are suggestive information transmission cultural diffusion channels. Identification relies on quasi-experimental context differential...
This paper introduces a method and preliminary findings from database that systematically measures the character stringency of immigration policies. Based on selection data for nine countries between 1999 2008, we challenge idea any one country is most or least restrictive toward admissions. The also reveal trends more complex and, often, regulation since 1990s, as well differential treatment groups, such lower requirements highly skilled than low-skilled labor migrants. These patterns...
Abstract We examine the relationship between immigration and preferences for redistribution in Europe using a newly assembled dataset of immigrant stocks 140 regions 16 Western European countries. Exploiting within-country variations share immigrants at regional level, we find that native respondents display lower support when their residence region is higher. This negative association driven by countries with relatively large welfare states center or right political spectrum. It stronger...
