About the talk:
In this presentation the speaker will cover key facts and the economic analysis of foreign education. He will start by giving detailed figures about global student migration and explain how it is important for overall migration. Second, he will show what are the main origins and destinations of foreign students. Then, he will pass to an economic analysis of student migration.
Why is student migration an important issue for sending countries, for receiving countries and for universities themselves? He will discuss the literature on the various determinants of student migration, and he will consider the choices made: whether to study abroad, in which foreign country, and in which foreign institution. He will give an overview of the findings of that literature. He will focus on the special role of tuition fees. He will finish the talk by discussing the role of policies specifically relevant for foreign student education.
