“…Recent scholars also investigate other economic factors such as unemployment rate of home countries. Levatino () proposed that the mobility of international students is also connected with the lack of work opportunities in their hometown labor markets. Therefore, high unemployment rate of B&R countries would urge international students to study in China for higher education.…”

Due to the differences in economic and social conditions among the Belt‐and‐Road (B&R) countries, resources exchange might bring significant effect on companies and organizations in these countries. In recent years, vigorously developing university education and attracting more outstanding international students have become important means for “B&R” countries to expand education market and enhance international influence. However, there is limited research discussing the impact of “B&R” on the internationalization of higher education. Taking the sponsoring country (China) of the “B&R” strategy as an example, this article explores the impact of this strategy on Chinese universities' expansion in the education market, and further analyzes the important relevant factors from the perspectives of international competitiveness. The findings show that the B&R Initiative has a significant impact on the expansion of Chinese universities in overseas markets along the route. Furthermore, we have found “push” factors related to China's macro and micro environments, and “pull” factors associated with countries along the B&R route.

“…Changes in Australian skilled immigration policies to offset the effects of brain drain (Burkhauser et al, 2016) along with its democratic traditions (Gribble and Blackmore, 2012;Ramburuth and McCormick, 2001; Shu and Hawthorne, 1996) resulted in an increasing number of international students studying in Australia (Levatino, 2017). A limited number of studies have also been undertaken in other countries.…”

“…Singapore until recently followed similar strategies to offset brain drain from the country (Ziguras and Gribble, 2015). Thus, study abroad could be a deliberate strategy for future immigration (Levatino, 2017). The stock of international students is positively related to subsequent migration either to the host country or a third country (Dreher and Poutvaara, 2005).…”

The Policy Research Working Paper Series disseminates the findings of work in progress to encourage the exchange of ideas about development issues. An objective of the series is to get the findings out quickly, even if the presentations are less than fully polished. The papers carry the names of the authors and should be cited accordingly. The findings, interpretations, and conclusions expressed in this paper are entirely those of the authors. They do not necessarily represent the views of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development/World Bank and its affiliated organizations, or those of the Executive Directors of the World Bank or the governments they represent.

“…The effects of these variables can be controlled in the following regressions:

ln false(P R O G_{t} + 1 false) = α_{0} + α_{1} C h A F T A + α_{2} X_{t} + ε_{t},

ln false(E N R O L_{t} false) = β_{0} + β_{1} C h A F T A + β_{2} X_{t} + ϵ_{t},

where PROG t and ENROL t indicate, respectively, the number of Australia–China joint programmes approved and the number of international student enrolments from China. Since the logarithm of zero is undefined, a very small value is added so that no observation is lost when the natural logarithm is taken (Levatino, ). ChAFTA is a dummy variable and indicates the China–Australia Free Trade Agreement.…”

“…For example, Xiang et al (2017) offered a prospective empirical analysis of the economic impacts of the ChAFTA on global coal output, trade, consumption and welfare from 2014. Levatino (2017) conducted a macro-level panel data analysis of international student enrolments in Australia's higher education, showing that the determinants of onshore enrolment are also related to offshore enrolment. Earlier work has been predominantly dedicated to studying the various factors which may affect student mobility globally or in other regions (e.g., Beine, Noël, & Ragot, 2014;Bessey, 2012;Kritz, 2016;Rosenzweig, Irwin, & Williamson, 2006).…”

The impact of the China–Australia Free Trade Agreement on Australia's education exports to China: A legal and economic assessment

As a landmark achievement in the development of the China–Australia bilateral economic relations, the China–Australia Free Trade Agreement (“ChAFTA”) achieves a higher level of liberalisation in education services compared with China's commitments under the World Trade Organisation and its other free trade agreements. However, the ChAFTA fails to relax the major regulatory barriers in China, which will remain the key obstacles to Australia's education services exports to China. Through a preliminary study and a regression analysis of the impacts of the ChAFTA on Australia's education exports to China based on available data, we show that the ChAFTA did not play a significant role in promoting the application and approval of Sino‐Australian joint programmes but did contribute to the growth of international student enrolments from China. The effect of the ChAFTA is, at best, secondary to that of domestic regulation and tends to be greater in less regulated areas.
