“…To the best of our knowledge, the only harmonized dataset of bilateral migration flows by skill level is that detailed in Czaika and Parsons (2016) and analyzed in Czaika and Parsons (forthcoming). Examples of the latter include databases on doctors Pettersson 2008, Bhargava et al 2011), foreign-born scientists (Franzoni et al 2012), Indian academics (Czaika and Toma 2013) or inventor mobility (Miguelez and Fink 2013).…”

This paper reviews recent research regarding high-skilled migration. We adopt a data-driven perspective, bringing together and describing several ongoing research streams that range from the construction of global migration databases, to the legal codification of national policies regarding highskilled migration, to the analysis of patent data regarding cross-border inventor movements. A common theme throughout this research is the importance of agglomeration economies for explaining high-skilled migration. We highlight some key recent findings and outline major gaps that we hope will be tackled in the near future.

“…As summarized in Miguélez and Fink (2013), the global migration rate in 2000 for the population above 25 years old was 1.8 percent, ranging from 1.1 percent for the unskilled to 5.4 percent for those with tertiary education. In our benchmark sample, 2.3 percent of inventors move at least once over their lifetime in the sample (an average of 12 years) and 4.6 percent of the superstar inventors move over the same duration.…”

We study the effect of top tax rates on “superstar” inventors' international mobility since 1977, using panel data on inventors from the US and European Patent Offices. We exploit the differential impact of changes in top tax rates on inventors of different qualities. Superstar inventors' location choices are significantly affected by top tax rates. In our preferred specification, the elasticity to the net-of-tax rate of the number of domestic superstar inventors is around 0.03, while that of foreign superstar inventors is around 1. These elasticities are larger for inventors in multinational companies. An inventor is less sensitive to taxes in a country if his company performs a higher share of its research there.

“…• In contrast to the previous accounting, which itself alludes to the practical non-existence of a National System of Innovation, it is worth noting that Mexico is the top country in Latin America in terms of the outward migration of inventors (Miguélez and Carsten, 2013).…”

The Migration, Diasporas and Citizenship series covers three important aspects of the migration progress. Firstly, the determinants, dynamics and characteristics of international migration. Secondly, the continuing attachment of many contemporary migrants to their places of origin, signified by the word 'diaspora'. And thirdly, the attempt, by contrast, to belong and gain acceptance in places of settlement, signified by the word 'citizenship'. The series publishes work that shows engagement with and a lively appreciation of the wider social and political issues that are influenced by international migration.

Our own local and national studies would have been impossible without the advice and generous support of these colleagues. More specifically, most of the papers that led to chapters in this book were presented at the STIM International Workshop at the University of Sydney in August 2013. Nearly all those who presented papers in the workshop appear as authors of this book, so we will not name them specifically here.In addition, we would like to thank the following colleagues for advice, comments and assistance: Hein de Haas (University of Oxford), Kemal Kirişci (Boğaziçi University, Istanbul), Stuart Rosewarne (University of Sydney), Ellie Vasta (Macquarie University, Sydney) and Montserrat García Guerrero (Autonomous University of Zacatecas).We are most grateful to our interviewees in each of the case-study countries.
