(The worldwide race to attract talents is getting tougher....)
The worldwide race to attract talents is getting tougher. The US has been leading the race, with its ability to attract PhD candidates and graduates not only from emerging countries, but also from the European Union. However, a growing number of countries have adopted immigration policies specifically aimed at selecting and attracting skilled workers. This book describes the global competition to attract talents. It focuses in particular on two phenomena: the brain gain and brain drain associated with high-skilled migration. Part I provides an overview of immigration policies designed to draw in skilled workers. It describes the economic gains associated with skilled immigration in the destination countries and the main determinants of the inflows of skilled immigrants (such as wage premia on education and R&D spending). It also discusses why skill-selective immigration policies do not find more support in receiving countries and shows that interest groups are actively engaged in affecting policies towards skilled migrants. Part II examines the consequences of brain drain for the sending countries. It reviews the channels through which skilled emigration can affect the source countries and looks at remittances, return migration, diaspora externalities, and network effects that may compensate the sending countries for their loss of human capital. Contrary to traditional wisdom, the results indicate that most developing countries experience a net gain from skilled emigration.

Theoretical studies of the determinants of migration by skilled persons and the output and welfare effects of such migration on the migrants and the countries of departure and destination. The volume measures the numbers of highly skilled migrants from different countries to the U.S. and Canada, with an analysis of policy alternatives.

After my thesis work on forward exchange models, I wrote The International Monetary System, which has gone through four editions. lieutenant represents the only existing attempt to construct a price-theoretic model of an efficient international monetary system and to use it for an evaluation of theoretical prototypes and historical experiences.
In later years I have occupied myself with empirical studies which have had important implications for received theory and current policy issues. These studies covered brain drain (human capital migration), intra-industry trade (trade in differentiated products), international capital flow (diversified portfolios, taxation), effective tariff protection, moral hazard effects (insurance induced unemployment), free economic zones (partial deregulation), and multinational banking.
My text International Economics contains a comprehensive neoclassical treatment of international trade and finance.
