“…On the one hand, several studies suggest that brain drain has adverse effects on those left behind even when the positive feedback effects such as remittances, return migration with additional skills acquired abroad and creation of scientific and business networks are taken into account (McKenzie, Gibson and Stillman, 2011;McKenzie and Rapoport, 2010;Klenow and Rodriguez-Clare, 2005). On the other hand, recent studies by Beine, Docquier and Rapoport (2008;2001) provide evidence suggesting that the probability of future migration fosters the human capital formation in the source countries. These studies show that countries with relatively lower human capital and low skilled migration rate are likely to benefit the most from the high-skilled emigration.…”

We combine a unique city-level dataset on the fraction of Jewish population residing in Germany before the Nazi Regime with individual survey data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP). Our identification strategy exploits the plausibly exogenous city-by-cohort variation in the Jewish population in Germany as a unique quasi-experiment. We find that the persecution of Jewish professionals had significant, long-lasting detrimental effects on the human capital and political development of Germans who were at school-age during the Nazi Regime. First, these children have 0.4 fewer years of schooling on average in adulthood. Second, these children are less likely to go to college or have a graduate degree. Third, they are less likely to have interest in politics as adults. These results survive using alternative samples and specifications, including controlling for Second World War, Nazi and Communist Party support and unemployment effects.JEL Classification: I21, I12, J24, N34

“…Deichmann (2001) and Waldinger (2010) however suggest that only small fraction of the professors were dismissed because of being "politically unreliable"; therefore it is unlikely that our results are confounded by the differential Communist Party support in German cities.…”

“…All of Loeb's attempts at changing the character of German organized science had thus failed: Wolfgang Ostwald's colloid chemistry had survived Loeb's attacks. Ostwald was named Professor of Colloid Chemistry in 1935, Loeb's dissemination strategies were neutralized and Loeb's reformist allies were either barred from doing scientific work, had to leave Germany or were killed (Deichmann, 2001). Nevertheless, with his scientific and social endeavours, Loeb helped to lay the foundations of modern biomedicine, which ultimately outlasted the reactionary modernists.…”

In 1917, the German-American scientist Jacques Loeb (1859-1924) published a short essay, entitled 'Biology and War', that summarized his disagreement with World War I. He was deeply saddened by the break-up of the international scientific community as a consequence of the actions of bellicose politicians. These actions were in direct opposition to his efforts to promote social reform, mechanistic biology and scientific internationalism. The aim of this paper is to examine Loeb's activities aimed at these efforts before, during and after the war. It attempts to explain how Loeb's scientific work was formed, what was special about it and why it was both successful and attacked. Particular emphasis is placed on how Loeb reacted to the War and the subsequent forced disintegration of his international scientific network. Loeb's attempts to integrate his interpretation of biology into post-war Europe's approach to the life sciences is analysed in connection with his social commitment. It is argued that his emigration to the USA, the circumstances of World War I, the reaction of his German colleagues to it and the demolition of the international scientific community changed: (1) Loeb's feelings towards his old home; (2) the direction of his scientific endeavours; and (3) his engagement in science politics. His correspondence with eminent scientists from all over the world serves as a key to Loeb's efforts in the context of the social elements of scientific networks and perceptions.

“…[2] Die Herausgeber gehen auf dieses Werk ebenso wenig ein wie auf die vçllige Vereinnahmung des KWI für Chemie durch das Nazi-System, die bei H. Kahlert [3] und U. Deichmann [4] ausführlich beschrieben ist. Freilich gab es schon damals Aktivitäten, die diesen Prinzipien zuwiderliefen -so Forschungen über effektive Einsätze chemischer Kampfstoffe und deren Abwehr; darüber hat F. Schmaltz ausführlich berichtet.…”
