Beneficial brain drain and non-migrants' welfare
Schiff, Maurice W. - 2018
Though a net brain gain has tended to be seen as a benefit and referred to as a 'beneficial brain drain' in the literature, its welfare impact for source country residents - or non-migrants - is at best ambiguous. Increased educational investment in response to a brain drain is equivalent to a...

On the Robustness of Brain Gain Estimates
Beine, Michel - 2009
Recent theoretical studies suggest that migration prospects can raise the expected return to human capital and thus foster education investment at home or, in other words, induce a brain gain. In a recent paper (Beine, Docquier and Rapoport, Economic Journal, 2008) we used the Docquier and...

Brain Drain and Ldcs' Growth : Winners and Losers
Beine, Michel; Docquier, Frédéric; Rapoport, Hillel - 2021
We present an empirical evaluation of the growth effects of the brain drain for the source countries of migrants. Using recent US data on migration rates by education levels (Carrington and Detragiache, 1998), we find empirical support for the "beneficial brain drain hypothesis" in a...

Does aid induce brain drain? : a panel data analysis
Ontiveros, Darwin Ugarte; Veradi, Vincenzo - In: IZA journal of migration : IZAJOM 1 (2012), pp. 1-19
Recent evidence suggests that aid induces migration. This result is nevertheless not very informative from a policy perspective since what counts in terms of welfare consequences is the composition of migration. In this paper we focus on education and study which of skilled or unskilled...

Over the past decades, globalization has led to a huge increase in the migration of workers, as well as students. This paper develops a simple two-step model that describes the decisions of an individual vis-à-vis education and migration, and presents a unified model, wherein the two migration...
