Brain drain and economic growth: evidence of productivity growth from brain circulation

Abstract: This paper analyzes the effect of the so-called ‘brain drain’ on economic growth through the channel of growth in total factor productivity. We analyze panel data that measure the severity of brain drain, which are from IMD and the U.S. National Science Foundation. Our analysis shows that middle-income countries have more brain drain compared to the group of high-income countries. Also, emerging economies that grow fast tend to experience more brain drain. Our results from fixed effects regression models show … Show more

“…Locating talent in advanced countries could help improve a country's productivity by sharing advanced technologies and skills with their counterparts in the motherland. Therefore, policymakers are required to consider strategies to harness talent located abroad (Woosik, 2021). It is recommended to continue to monitor and research the phenomenon around brain drain, brain gain, brain return, and brain circulation.…”

“…This exit is positive when individuals educated abroad are capable of reverting what they learned abroad to the country in which they began their educational development, or when the foreign “brains” come to nourish the gap left by those who moved out. This has been called brain circulation, and it is something that other countries know very well (Johnson and Regets, 1998 ; Kone and Ozden, 2017 ; Yu, 2021 ). In addition, encouraging brain connection between countries has proved to be useful for Science and multilateral collaborations between countries (Meyer and Brown, 1999 ; Gamlen, 2006 ; Balmer et al, 2009 ; Kone and Ozden, 2017 ; Yu, 2021 ).…”
