High skilled mobility under uncertainty
Bisset, Jordan; Czarnitzki, Dirk; Doherr, Thorsten - 2023
Previous work suggests a general uncertainty surrounding the migration process acts as a barrier to outmigration. In this paper, we argue that this barrier is exacerbated when relative economic policy uncertainty is higher in the target country and mitigated when relatively higher in the origin...

Market-Specific Human Capital : Talent Mobility and Compensation
Brisley, Neil - 2018
We analyze how the top firms and managers from one market (industry or country) would compete with those from another, to develop an integrated market for talent. In our competitive matching model, in two distinct markets talent has general and market-specific human capital (GHC and M-SHC)...

Policy uncertainty and inventor mobility
Bisset, Jordan; Czarnitzki, Dirk; Doherr, Thorsten - 2022
We follow the migration patterns of European inventors and find evidence of a novel emigration determinant: policy uncertainty. We find that policy uncertainty raises the rate of inventor emigration by a notable magnitude. With a one standard deviation in the policy uncertainty of the home...

Kahanec, Martin; Zimmermann, Klaus F. - In: IZA journal of migration : IZAJOM 3 (2014), pp. 1-13
Mobile workers involve flows of labor and human capital and contribute to a more efficient allocation of resources. However, migration also changes relative wages, alters the distribution of skills and affects equality in the receiving society. The paper suggests that skilled immigration...

Kancs, D'Artis; Ciaian, Pavel - 2011
Recently, the EU Council adopted a new labour migration policy instrument - the EU Blue Cards (BC) - for attracting the highly skilled workers to the EU. The present paper examines the potential impacts, which BC may cause on less developed sending countries (LDC). Our results suggest that the...
