Grossmann, VolkerStadelmann, David2013-01-282013-01-282013-01https://hdl.handle.net/10986/12176The international migration of high-skilled workers may trigger productivity effects at the macro level such that the wage rate of skilled workers increases in host countries and decrease in source countries. The authors exploit data on international bilateral migration flows and provide evidence consistent with this theoretical hypothesis. They propose various instrumentation strategies to identify the causal effect of skilled migration on log differences of GDP per capita, total factor productivity, and the wages of skilled workers between pairs of source and destination countries. These strategies aim to address the endogeneity problem that arises when international wage differences affect migration decisions.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOASYLUMAVERAGE SKILL LEVELBRAIN DRAINBRAIN GAINBRAIN-DRAINCAPACITY BUILDINGCAPITAL INVESTMENTCOLLEGE GRADUATECOLLEGE GRADUATESCOUNTRY OF ORIGINCOUNTRY PAIRCOUNTRY PAIRSDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPMENT ECONOMICSDEVELOPMENT POLICYDIASPORADOMESTIC WORKERSEARNINGECONOMIC GROWTHEDUCATED MIGRANTSEDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENTEFFECTS OF MIGRATIONEMIGRATIONEMIGRATION DATAEMIGRATION OF SKILLED LABOREMIGRATION RATEEMPIRICAL ANALYSISEXPATRIATESEXTERNALITIESFOREIGNERSHOST COUNTRIESHOST COUNTRYHUMAN CAPITALIMMIGRANTIMMIGRANTSIMMIGRATIONIMMIGRATION QUOTASIMPACT OF IMMIGRATIONIMPACT OF MIGRATIONINFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTINNOVATIONINTERNATIONAL MIGRANTSINTERNATIONAL MIGRATIONINTERNATIONAL MOBILITYJOBSLABOR DEMANDLABOR DEMAND CURVELABOR FORCELABOR MARKETLABOURLABOUR MARKETLOW-INCOME COUNTRIESMARKET EQUILIBRIUMMASS MEDIAMIGRANTSMIGRATIONMIGRATION COSTSMIGRATION DECISIONSMIGRATION FLOWSMIGRATION PATTERNSMIGRATION RATESMIGRATIONSNUMBER OF EMIGRANTSNUMBER OF IMMIGRANTSNUMBER OF MIGRANTSOCCUPATIONPERFECT COMPETITIONPOLICY DISCUSSIONSPOLICY RESEARCHPOLICY RESEARCH WORKING PAPERPOPULATION AND DEVELOPMENTPOPULATION SIZEPRESENTED EVIDENCEPRIMARY SCHOOLPRODUCTIVITY EFFECTPRODUCTIVITY EFFECTSPROGRESSREMITTANCESRESPECTSCHOOL ENROLMENTSECONDARY SCHOOLINGSKILL COMPOSITIONSKILL GROUPSKILL LEVELSKILL TYPESKILLED EMIGRANTSSKILLED LABORSKILLED MIGRANTSSKILLED MIGRATIONSKILLED OCCUPATIONSSKILLED WORKERSSOCIAL OPENNESSSPILLOVERTOTAL FACTOR PRODUCTIVITYUNITED NATIONS POPULATION DIVISIONUNSKILLED LABORUNSKILLED WORKERSURBAN POPULATIONURBANIZATIONWAGE DATAWAGE DISTRIBUTIONWAGE EFFECTSWAGE INCOMEWAGE LEVELWAGE RATEWAGESWorld Bank10.1596/1813-9450-6317
