Globalization, multiculturalism and brain drain

Abstract

This paper analyzes the interaction of international migration of high-skilled labor and relative wage income between source and destination economies of expatriates. We develop an overlapping-generations model with increasing returns which suggests that international integration of the market for skilled labor aggravates between-country inequality by harming those which are source economies to begin with while bene…ting host economies. The result is robust to allowing governments to optimally adjust productivity-enhancing investments which could potentially attenuate brain drain. Optimal public investment tends to decrease in response to higher emigration.

Working and Learning in Times of Uncertainty

“…The research literature develops arguments about culture in many different ways using concepts such as multi-culture, diversity, pluralism, cultural sensitivity and cultural transferability to highlight cultural differences concerning for example identities, habits and traditions, corporate language, religion etcetera (Day, 2001;Dugan et al, 2011;Javidan et al, 2006;Kowske & Anthony, 2007;Lim & Tsutsui, 2011;Robinson & Harvey, 2008;Rogerson-Revell, 2007;Van den Born & Peltokorpi, 2010). Marga (2010) points out that it is an essential difference between learning about culture and understanding culture, and that understanding actually can be learned through reflecting on ones experiences. The concepts above mostly refer to national, ethnical, political or religious aspects.…”

Izazovi globalizacije i njihov utjecaj na privlačenje i zadržavanje talenata

“…Pobjednici su oni koji privuku "mozgove", a gubitnici oni koji se suoče s "odljevom mozgova" (Marga, 2010). "Odljev mozgova" označava međunarodni prijenos resursa u formi ljudskog kapitala i uglavnom se odnosi na migraciju visoko educiranih pojedinaca iz zemalja u razvoju u već razvijene zemlje (Beine et al 2008).…”

Transition and the problem of 'brain drain' from the perspective of students of a privately owned university

“…Они истичу потребу да се привуку и задрже стручњаци (Wadhwa, 2009), анализирају повезаност студирања у иностранству и одлива мозгова (Oosterbeek & Webbink, 2011). Сагледава се одлив мозгова у контексту глобализације и мултикултуралности (Marga, 2010) раз-вијених земаља, али и могући позитивни ефекти за земље из којих долазе експерти (Mountford, 1997). Неки аутори предлажу начине за трансформисање "одлива мозго-ва" у "прилив мозгова" у европским земљама (Grigolo et al, 2010) и увођење концепта "умрежавање одлива" (Ciumasu, 2010).…”
