Abstract

Recent research has identified conditions under which migration of human capital (skilled workers) from a developing (sending) country to a developed (receiving) country enhances human capital formation and improves wellbeing within the sending country (Mountford, 1997; Stark, Helmenstein, and Prskawetz, 1997, 1998; Stark and Wang, 2002; Fan and Stark, 2007; Stark and Fan, 2007, 2008). In contrast to earlier writings on the brain drain (for example, Patinkin, 1968; Bhagwati and Wilson, 1989), the recent contributions cast migration as a harbinger of human capital gain rather than a cause of human capital drain.
