This paper examines this policy issue by empirically analyzing a cross-national dataset spanning 70 countries during the period 1985–2000, as well as a country-specific dataset for the Philippines. It finds little evidence that high-skilled migration is linked to lower remittances at the aggregate level. This finding coheres with more recent studies leveraging microlevel data. 2013-02-01T08:00:00Z text https://archium.ateneo.edu/asog-pubs/61 https://www.worldscientific.com/doi/abs/10.1142/S0217590813500069 Ateneo School of Government Faculty Publications Archīum Ateneo Brain drain brain gain diaspora remittances migration Economic Policy Public Affairs, Public Policy and Public Administration
