Summarising a topic in a limited number of key references was a challenge but the resulting papers are such a useful summary of the current knowledge in labor economics that I’m glad to have been asked to participate in such an endeavour. I hope readers will find the articles as interesting to read as we, authors, found them to write

  • How to attract international students? Updated

    Studying abroad benefits the students, the host country, and those remaining at home

    Arnaud Chevalier, May 2022

Empirical evidence suggests that open migration policies and labor markets, whereby students can remain in the host country post-study, as well as good quality higher education institutions are crucial for successfully attracting international students. Student migration can positively affect economic growth in both sending and receiving countries, even though migrants themselves reap most of the gains, mainly through higher earnings.
