“…There are many drivers of the process, with limited prospects at home encouraging migration of the highly skilled who seek better prospects in the North (Michael, 1993;Thomas, 2011, Docquier andMachado, 2016). A useful overview of the economic issues underlying mobility is that of Guena et al (2015), while Levent (2016) examines the contribution of international mobile students to economic growth. Mavroudi and Warren (2013) discuss the ways students manage this process.…”

The mobility of the highly skilled, summarized as brain drain, brain circulation and brain gain, remains a contentious issue for policy. Even so, the evidence base to inform policy remains poor. This gap is of particular importance to policymakers in countries that experience brain drain. This paper reports on the findings of a tracer study of international African doctoral graduates of South Africa’s leading universities. Since access to student records was problematic, the sample frame was developed by the inspection of library holdings of dissertations. This approach allowed for a representative sample to be surveyed. Contrary to the expectation that the majority of graduates would depart from Africa as a brain drain, it was found that the majority returned home on completion. Some 10% remained in South Africa as a brain gain to the host country, with but 5% leaving Africa. The outcome of their temporary migration was brain circulation and talent development.

Jelen tanulmány felméri és összegzi azon kutatási eredményeket, amelyek a Magyarországon tanuló nemzetközi diákok és az őket meglátogatók turisztikai fogyasztási szokásaira vonatkoznak. A kérdőíves megkeresésekkel kivitelezett kutatással, a hazánkban tanuló nemzetközi hallgatók magyarországi turisztikai szokásaira vonatkozó kérdéseken keresztül azt kívántuk feltárni, hogy ez a szegmens milyen mértékben jelenik meg a hazai turisztikai folyamatokban, és milyen gazdasági hatással bír. A tanulmány eredményeinek közlése tekintetében kijelenthető, hogy hazánkban hasonló jellegű kutatás még nem zajlott le, így a nemzetközi hallgatókhoz köthető turizmus társadalmi-gazdasági és turisztikai folyamatokban betöltött szerepének vizsgálata tudományos nóvum Magyarországon. Elsődleges eredményeink igazolják, hogy a szegmens aktívan részt vesz a hazai turisztikai folyamatokban, így, mivel ezen fogyasztói csoport pontos megismerése még csak most kezdődött el, javasoljuk egy vonatkozó országos, illetve az egyes kiemelt egyetemi városokat célzó turizmusmarketing stratégia kidolgozását. This study surveys and summarizes the research results related to the tourism consumption habits of international students studying in Hungary together with their visitors. With questions focusing on the travel habits of the international students, the research, carried out by questionnaire survey, was intended to show the scale of this segment in Hungarian tourism and the economic impact also. In relation to the publication of the results, we can confirm that no similar research has been carried out yet in Hungary, and so the analysis of the role of international students in the social-economic and touristic processes is a scientific novelty in Hungary. Our primary results show that the segment plays an active part in domestic tourism, and so, since a clear recognition of this significant target group has recently emerged. The authors recommend the elaboration of a related tourism marketing strategy on national and university city levels.

“…(Mundra 2010) examine the effect of immigration on trade when the immigrants consume more of the goods that are abundant in their home country than the natives in a standard Heckscher-Ohlin model and find that the effect of immigration on trade is a priori indeterminate. (Levent 2016) found international students provide significant revenue to the economy of their host country by bearing the cost of tuition fees and noneducational expenses as well as by contributing to the production of knowledge and technology as well. (Teichler 1999) revealed that One of the most important indicators of internationalization in higher education is student mobility.…”

The continued growth in international students coming to China for higher education had a significant positive impact on trade and economic growth in China. Student mobility may expend trade with their country of origin, owing to superior knowledge, or preferential access to market opportunities. We test this hypothesis using Chinese trade data from 1999 to 2017. In fully-modify (OLS) and Dynamic (OLS) testing estimation, we find that a 1.24 percent increase in student inward mobility is associated with a 1 percent increase in Chinese export trade. On the other hand, we find that 1.18 percent increase in the student inward mobility to China is associated with I percent increase in import trade. In addition, we find that a 1.13 percent increase in international student inward mobility is associated with 1 percent increase in the GDP. The outcome suggests that international students have a strong influence on Gross Domestic Product (GDP), exports and imports trade. However, the study holds that the government should attach great attachment and importance to the role of international students in the export and import trade.
