By contrast, the brain drain appears to have negative growth effects in countries where the migration rate of …

Recent theoretical studies suggest that migration prospects can raise the expected return to human capital and thus … impact of brain drain migration on gross (pre-migration) human capital formation in developing countries. We found a positive … effect of skilled migration prospects on human capital growth in a cross-section of 127 developing countries, with an …

The impact of … international migration on source country fertility may have a number of causes, including a transfer of destination countries … original and detailed data on migration. Our results provide evidence of a strong transfer of fertility norms from migrants to …
