“…Evidence suggests that even if they were to stop migration flows at some point, remittances would continue to flow (although probably not increasing) for many years (Funkhouser 1995). Therefore, if as expected by some experts, migration controls proliferate in some countries, remittances should decrease only gradually.…”

“…Subsequently, using a slightly different set of covariates to allow for the identification of the likelihood of remittance receipt model, one can model the peso figure remitted while accounting for the sample selection that occurs when focusing on remitters by OLS (e.g. Hoddinott 1994, Funkhouser 1995, Cox et al 1998). This type of modeling has the advantage of allowing the likelihood of remittance receipt to be shaped by different variables from those determining the peso amount received from abroad by the household.…”

“…As reported in Schi¤ (1996), liquidity constraints in poor and unequal societies explain the increasing relationship between income and migration at low income levels. Papers by Freeman (1993), Faini and Venturini (1993), Funkhouser (1995), World Bank (1994) have shown that emigrants essentially do not come from low income group. It is worth noticing that between 1990 and 2000, the situation clearly improved in lower-middle income countries and deteriorated in low-income countries.…”

In this paper, we provide new estimates of skilled workers' emigration rates for about 190 countries in 2000 and 170 countries in 1990, including both developing and industrial countries. Using various statistical sources, we revisit Carrington and Detragiache's measures by incorporating information on immigrants' educational attainment and country of origin from almost all OECD countries. Our database covers 92.7 percent of the OECD immigration stock. In absolute terms, we show that the largest numbers of highly educated migrants are from Europe, Southern and Eastern Asia and, to a lesser extent, Central America. Nevertheless, as a proportion of the potential educated labor force, the highest brain drain rates are observed in the Caribbean, Central America, Western and Eastern Africa. Repeating the exercise for 1990 and 2000 allows us to evaluate the changes in brain drain intensity. Western Africa, Eastern Africa and Central America experienced a remarkable increase in the brain drain during the past decade.JEL Classi…cation: F22, J61.
