Is it "good" or "bad" when skilled people leave low-income countries? We summarized the evidence in favor of "brain gain" vs. "brain drain": www.science.org/doi/epdf/10....

Thrilled to see our review paper on brain drain vs. brain gain out in @science.org! Very grateful for this opportunity to work with brilliant coauthors. Importantly, we point out open questions which hopefully would spur new research on effects of high-skilled emigration on source countries.

How does high-skilled emigration affect countries of origin? I summarize our recent Science paper, &draw out lessons from where we need nuance (not all high-skilled is the same, & most studies lump together), what we don't know (especially how to do better policy) blogs.worldbank.org/en/impacteva...

🧠“Brain drain” isn’t the whole story.
New research in @science.org by @mushfiq-econ.bsky.social & coauthors finds skilled migration can boost #HumanCapital in origin countries – if policymakers invest in education & adapt.

International students will stop coming to American universities if their visas are going to be at risk. This will make our intellectual community poorer and also make tuition more expensive for domestic students.
UPDATED: At least 83 students -- at campuses for University of California, California State University and Stanford -- have had their visas revoked as of Monday evening.
LATEST: At least 45 student visas across the state have been revoked by the Trump administration, California universities report, as numbers grow. A lawsuit has been filed in a Los Angeles federal court against DHS and Kristi Noem www.latimes.com/california/s...
