Human capital investment under exit options: Evidence from a natural quasi-experiment

The within-country distribution of brain drain and brain gain effects: A case study on Senegal

“…This effect is particularly pronounced when focusing on the world's poorest nations, specifically low-income and lower-middle income countries, as confirmed by Cha'Ngom et al (2023). Case studies leveraging quasi-experimental settings find compelling evidence that shocks affecting skill-specific emigration prospects lead to heightened levels of human capital several years down the line -see Shrestha (2017) on Nepal, Abarcar and Theoharides (2021) on the Philippines, Khanna and Morales (2021) on India, and Chand and Clemens (2023) on the Fiji. Similarly, research examining persistent spatial disparities in emigration exposure between regions yields similar results (Batista et al, 2012, Theoharides, 2018.…”
