چکیده
Student Flows and Migration: An Empirical Analysis Using panel data for 78 countries of origin we examine the impact of student flows to the United States on subsequent migration there over the period 1971-2001. What we find is that the stock of foreign students is an important predictor of subsequent migration. This holds true whether or not the lagged endogenous variable is included. The relationship is robust to the inclusion of time and country dummies, and remains when we account for outliers. The basic results also hold for a cross section of 36 countries of origin and 9 host countries. Our results have important policy implications which we discuss in the last section.

متن کاملNetwork Effects on Domestic Migration Flows Across Germany – A Spatial Autoregressive Perspective with Spatially Structured Origin and Destination Effects and Heteroskedastic Innovations –

In our model we study the spatial interaction between German districts in order to explain the domestic flows of migration. Recently empirical research emphasises that beside an increase in expected earni...
