Documenting the brain drain of "la crème de la crème": Three case-studies on international migration at the upper tail of the education distribution

Docquier, Frédéric; Rapoport, Hillel - 2009

Most of the recent literature on the effects of the brain drain on source countries consists of theoretical papers and cross-country empirical studies. In this paper we complement the literature through three case studies on very different regional and professional contexts: the African medical...

Macroeconomic Instability, Migration, and the Option Value of Education

Katz, Eliakim; Rapoport, Hillel - 2001

We explore the relation between variability in the rate of return to human capital and investment in education in the context of migration. Specifically, we show that if migration is a possibility, such variability in the rate of return to human capital can induce residents of developing...

Ethnic Discrimination and the Migration of Skilled Labor

Docquier, Frédéric; Rapoport, Hillel - 2001

We consider a small open developing economy, whose population is bifurcated into a majority and a minority group, the latter lacking political influence. Agents are heterogeneous in skills, and decide whether to invest in education when young and whether to migrate in their adulthood. Assuming a...

Brain Drain and LDCs' Growth: Winners and Losers

Beine, Michel; Docquier, Frédéric; Rapoport, Hillel - 2002

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 sample...

Migration Selectivity and the Evolution of Spatial Inequality

Kanbur, Ravi; Rapoport, Hillel - 2004

The basic neoclassical model of migration suggests that migration is induced by real income differentials across locations and will, ceteris paribus, serve to reduce those differentials. And yet the evidence on growing spatial inequality is clear, despite increased migration from poorer to...

Killer acquisitions and beyond: Policy effects on innovation strategies

Letina, Igor; Schmutzler, Armin; Seibel, Regina - 2020

This paper provides a theory of strategic innovation project choice by incumbents and start-ups. We show that … prohibiting killer acquisitions strictly reduces the variety of innovation projects. By contrast, we find that prohibiting other … acquisitions only has a weakly negative innovation effect, and we provide conditions under which the effect is zero. Furthermore …
