IZA is an independent nonprofit organization supported by Deutsche Post Foundation. The center is associated with the University of Bonn and offers a stimulating research environment through its international network, workshops and conferences, data service, project support, research visits and doctoral program. IZA engages in (i) original and internationally competitive research in all fields of labor economics, (ii) development of policy concepts, and (iii) dissemination of research results and concepts to the interested public.

The paper assesses the global effects of brain drain on developing economies and quantifies the relative sizes of various static and dynamic impacts. By constructing a unified generic framework characterized by overlapping-generations dynamics and calibrated to real data, this study incorporates many direct impacts of brain drain whose interactions, along with other indirect effects, are endogenously and dynamically generated. Our findings suggest that the short-run impact of brain drain on resident human capital is extremely crucial, as it does not only determine the number of skilled workers available to domestic production, but it also affects the sending economy's capacity to innovate or to adopt modern technologies. The latter impact plays an important role particularly in a globalized economy where capital investments are made in places with higher production efficiencies ceteris paribus. Hence, in spite of several empirically documented positive feedback effects, those countries with high skilled emigration rates are the most candid victims to brain drain since they are least likely to benefit from the "brain gain" effect, and thus suffering from declines of their resident human capital.JEL Classification: F22, J24, O15

From Islands to Hubs of Innovation: Connecting Innovative Regions

“…In fact, although pure concentration patterns are found to be optimal for the region where the educated labour migrates, no convincing explanation exists on what happens to regions from which skilled outward migration originates. This issue reconnects to the literature on the brain drain (see, e.g., Docquier et al, 2010; see also Gibson and McKenzie, 2011 for a recent overview of this topic), which usually finds that regions and countries which lose skilled labour face damage through several distinct channels (for example the loss of human capital, a pattern of decreasing productivity, and the emergence of lower innovation rates in sending countries and regions; see for instance Marchiori et al, 2009). The case for improving the connectivity (i.e.…”

The impact of MENA-to-EU migration in the context of demographic change

“…Individuals have uncertain lifetime and can die at the end of every period. The calibration of these effects is detailed in Marchiori et al (2010). Due to data availability constraints, the high skilled are those with post-secondary education.…”

International Cooperation to Manage High‐Skill Migration: The Case of India–U.S. Relations

“…New global data sets show that emigration rates among the highly skilled in some small countries exceed 70 percent (Docquier & Marfouk, 2005). It is difficult to imagine a scenario in which such countries are made better off by such massive flows (Marchiori, Shen, & Docquier, 2009).…”
