Peer reviewed An agent-based model for brain drain
Furkan Gürsoy Bertan Badur | Published Wednesday, March 03, 2021 | Last modified Friday, March 12, 2021An agent-based model for the emigration of highly-skilled labour.
We hypothesise that there are two main factors that impact the decision and ability to move abroad: desire to maximise individual utility and network effects. Accordingly, several factors play role in brain drain such as the overall economic and social differences between the home and host countries, people’s ability and capacity to obtain good jobs and start a life abroad, the barriers of moving abroad, and people’s social network who are already working abroad.
Under development.
