Thrilled to see our review paper on brain drain vs. brain gain out in @ScienceMagazine! 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!

Is it "good" or "bad" when skilled people leave low-income countries? We summarized the evidence in favor of "brain gain" vs. "brain drain": https://t.co/zuruPjiTWd

What is development economics?

@oliverhanney asks development economists for their definitions of development economics. https://t.co/0i0YJH2dch

Thank you @timsvengali for a great conversation on the @vox_dev podcast together with @ctheoharides on our recent @ScienceMagazine article

The "brain drain" is only part of the story—skilled migration can benefit origin countries too.

🆕 Why ‘Brain Drain’ is an incomplete story of migration 📢

Today on #VoxDevTalks w/ @timsvengali, @cbatista_econ (@NovaSBE) & @ctheoharides (@AmherstCollege) discuss the channels through which emigration can benefit origin countries: https://t.co/NQFg0zpN4L

📢 Brain Drain or Brain Gain?

In a recent @Visao_pt interview, @cbatista_econ @NOVAFRICA @NovaSBE explains how high-skilled migration can boost the development of origin countries.

Brain drain or brain gain?

Highlighting research that uses empirical methods to estimate causal effects of emigration, the authors of a new #ScienceReview examine how migration opportunities can prove beneficial for origin countries. https://t.co/AP7PyO4ovb

[Toman Barsbai @TomanBarsbai]

How does high-skilled emigration affect countries of origin? "The weight of the evidence suggests that migration opportunities often increase human capital stock in origin countries and produce downstream beneficial effects."

I love Figure 3, which summarizes the mechanisms.

how is this economics?

As the average team size in a discipline increases, individuals in that field have worse career prospects measured by career placement and research funding, from Mabel Andalón, Catherine de Fontenay, Donna K. Ginther, and @kwanghui https://t.co/mxTfqBCTzw

[Doug Campbell @TradeandMoney]

How credible was the "credibility revolution"? How robust is empirical research in economics? We just replicated a year's worth of the American Economic Review & had economists predict robustness. Here's what we learned. https://t.co/kOWJvSa6vJ
